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.

I always think about this place. I used to visit my dad for summer and we would always go here. I loved it back when I was a kid. I want to go back and eat again especially as an adult and since my dad passed. glad to see its still open!

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.

I ate lunch there today. The chicken fried steak was ok. The corn bread had a strong taste of either baking powder or baking soda. The cole slaw was way too sweet. For $ 12.33 I was very disappointed. I will not be back.

I absolutely love this place! Best coffee! Great service! If you go in the morning time during the week a waitress named Crystal works here. She is the best! I love these little diners! I have never had a problem and they have 24 hour specials and lunch specials during the week days! They are also open 24 hours. I work overnight sometimes and this place is the best! The marinated chicken is soooo good. They also have wonderful omelets and always serve their syrup hot!!! They deserve more than 5 stars!

I love this place and especially the food, but the older cashier(order taker) was really rude. I asked for a bottled water and she abruptly said, «NO»! I gave two stars only because I truly enjoy their food.

RJ’s is a good, clean little diner. It almost reminds me of the Peppermill in Vegas. I give the excellent service 5 stars and the food 3 stars. It wasn’t amazing, but it was a good amount of food for a decent price. My husband had the double burger(which was so big he couldn’t finish) and I had the shrimp and mini meat pies. We both had the Cajun fries and they were delicious! The mini-meat pies were great as well. We would definitely come back!

Love RJ’s. Been eating here for years. It’s not fancy by any means!!! It’s a basic diner setting! But the food is delicious and the portions are generous. It is not expensive($ 7.99 for my meal). Drinks are always promptly refilled and waitresses are friendly, fast and efficient. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. Chicken fried steak was crispy, hot, tender, well seasoned and delicious. Large serving of homemade mashed potatoes covered in homemade white gravy(also well seasoned) was delicious. My diner companion ordered the liver and onions. This was also tasty(and I’m not a huge fan of liver!!! So this surprised even me). RJ’s is open 24⁄7 and is definitely worth the time to enjoy a great meal. Would have given 5 stars, but the atmosphere is pretty ordinary. However, nothing else is less than excellent at this restaurant.

Pretty good spaghetti and French toast, just ask for extra powdered sugar.

Been over a year since last review… check ins here typically follow an evening at TimeOut… something about it gets me going for a Chicken Fried… however my welcome is mighty thin cause the lady that’s the night manager don’t really care for me all that much, I think… maybe has to do with my flirting with her daughters who waitressed here in the past and maybe still do… plus the Po Po is usually well represented after 2AM… Food is good but considering the presence of John Law you better damn well have a DD or a strong hunger on for some greasy good post bar hopping food… Oh yeah, keep the flirting with the waitresses to a minimum and if a cute one drops you her digits at least call her if you plan to stop in again, she just might be the night manager’s daughter!

What can I say about RJs. Is it fancy? no. is it fine dining? certainly not. is it tasty? you bet your sweet bippy it is! Rjs is your classic diner/truck stop restaurant. Good food, good atmosphere, friendly staff, huge portions, and fair prices. The chicken fried steak is good, and I’m a big fan of the spaghetti. Chopped steak and eggs is another favorite(you gotta try the home fries, add cheese. DOIT.) You’ll never see the bottom of your drink cup, either. All in all, I think it’s a great place for a quiet dinner with the wife, a midnight breakfast after a night out, or a quick lunch.

Kinda of an old trashy place. Looks like a small truckers joint. Have gambling if that’s of any interest to anyone. Open 24⁄7365. Decent food. Manager/owner isn’t friendly one bit. Perhaps she lacks the facial muscles required to smile…

We have lived in Shreveport for years and just tried RJ’s for the first time tonight. We should have come sooner! Don’t let the outside fool you. From there it looks like the kind of place where you could only get a greasy burger or a dried up ham and cheese sandwich on white bread. Inside, you will find this is an old-school diner with hot sandwiches and southern comfort foods. My husband and I ordered one chicken spaghetti(the Saturday night special) which came with a side salad and toasted rolls. We also ordered a veggie plate which comes with four veggies and split the two platters between the two of us. The cook and waitress were kind enough to divide the chicken spaghetti portions between the two of us without us even having to ask. It came out piping hot, had a subtle kick and was good enough to compete with Grandma’s. The green beans were alright if a little plain, very soft and cooked with potatoes rather than pork and vinegar — a style a bit less common in the area but still true to southern cuisine. The black eyed peas were a pinkish variety but otherwise standard. I had a nibble of my husband’s fried ocra and it was right-out-the-grease hot, crisp and yummy. The chocolate pie I ate for dessert was topped with heavy cream and definitely rocked my socks — perhaps the best chocolate pie in town. You’d think a southern city like Shreveport would be teeming with little places like this but it has surprisingly few. Strawn’s and The Cotton Boll are two big players for southern style home cooking here. RJ’s is far less well known but totally competes. Tonight’s meal at RJ’s had a less processed taste than Strawn’s and less grease than Cotton Bowl. I’ll be back again to see how it compares all around.

Great place to grab a southern breakfast. The portions are large. Just check out one of the breakfast items on the menu offering 5 pancakes in addition to the traditional eggs, and breakfast meat. The waitress served our table well. There were 5 of us eating at the table and she made sure our coffee was full and promptly served our orders. I was looking forward to getting a biscuit with my breakfast(eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns(yeah, yeah, but I ate my grits the previous morning)) but was surprised that I received 2. :) My husband had ordered the chicken fried steak and it was as large as the plate itself. He said they had perfected the chicken fried part with it’s seasoned crispiness holding its own up to the sausage gravy. All of us enjoyed what we ate and vowed that this would be a good place to come back to the next time we visit.
