  Is was a little grungy dive diner with sticky floors and menus but the food was surprisingly good.
  Friend got biscuits and gravy that she liked and I got the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes which was really good. The rest of the group seemed to like their food too. The T-Bread was unexpectedly good. Would definitely go back.

  They could lighten up on the AC a few degrees. Other than that, the portions are big, cheap, and good tasting. Which seems like what this clientele is looking for. Give the people what they want!

  Wow, this place is amazing. Unbelievably good food with large portions at low prices. Way better than IHOP or Denny's!

  This is not the place you should take your girl on the 1st date unless she's the type that dips snuff, does her own engine work on her off road pickup truck and....well you get the picture. This is a greasy spoon and a darn good one overall and I am rating this restaurant within that category, not comparing it to an expensive fine dining establishment.
  
  So much of Shreveport is shut down and dead by 10pm so you have very limited options close by...Whataburger, and there is a very good Waffle House nearby but the night shift is not stellar and there is a much wider array of menu choices here.
  
  RJ's has been here forever it seems like and while all those highfalutin eateries have either avoided this area like the plague or abandoned us for the glitter of Youree Drive, RJ's has stood fast because they are a kindred spirit. They are there for us 24 hours a day serving up delicious and hearty meals in generous portions. They work hard at what they do. Service is always decently good. Sometimes you may not get as many smiles and pleasantries as you had hoped for but try to realize that those servers are often busting their buns from table to table and have had to deal with some unsavory characters before you came in as RJ's gets all sorts. I always leave full and satisfied and without spending a lot of money.

  Pancakes made with grill cleaner
  
  We've eaten here before with mediocre results,  but breakfast this morning was the worst.
  We split a big breakfast that came with pancakes, and the pancakes tasted like they were made with industrial cleaners.
  Now we're both sick, throwing up, and it feels like we swallowed fire. My husband is debating going to the hospital.
  Never going back. If I could, would give negative stars.
