I have had three items off of the menu to date. The shrimp po-Boy, seafood gumbo, and the kids fried shrimp platter (because the regular portion is a lot of food). I give all three items 5 stars. Each plate it seems is enough food for two people. And oh wait….I forgot I have had the Beignets and while it isnt Cafe Du Monde it sure is good! I give it 5 as well. Again…one order is enough for two in my opinion. Kudos to you Marilyns. Please dont close your doors anytime soon. We need good food like this in Shreveport!!!
had dinner here about a month ago, the po boys have no flavor and too much mayo, one of us got food poisoning from the brisket andone from the roast po boy. we are not from LA but live here now. this was disappointing when trying to enjoy authentic cuisines. the beignets were just meh! and the Cajun fries well i’m still trying to figure out what was so special about them.the location didn’t make us turn away but the food will keep us from returning.
First time and last time I will go to this place. Poboy bread not crisp as advertised in menu … my nephew got hamburger it was cooked do hard he almost broke his tooth… my uncle got gumbo he said was good but very hot ….
We had a good time here a couple weeks ago.JG score from us this visit of 4.5/10 (+1.5 for food, +1 for atmosphere, +1 for price, 0 for no Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for typical service and +1 for we would return)The food here was good; some very good but some not so good. The very good for us was the William Edward Joyce curry fried catfish Poboy. We also liked the Seafood Gumbo especially with its crab. The not so good was the Hurricane Katrina Burger with its bland meat patty and roast beef…what a shame because it had the most promising name. The rest was just okay like the Cajun fries, the beignets, the Crawfish touffe, and the boudin. Basically, the food here was worth it and we would like to try more.The atmosphere here was cool. We went in the spring with the doors up and nice weather. This converted Texaco site has just the right touches. Would be less fun though if really hot or cold here.You can eat here for $15 or less but it would be hard…probably have to get a water.No Diet Dr Pepper, only Diet Coke.The service was friendly and nice. We could easily go back here sometime.
If I could give Marilynn’s over 5 rating I would! The food is phenomenal and there is something so rustic about dining in an old gas station. My absolute favorite thing about Marilynn’s is there unlimited mimosas on Sundays for only $15!!!! Don’t worry if you aren’t a mimosa fan they do other unlimited drinks. I 100% love this place!!!!
Even if the food would have tasted like dirt, I still would rave about this place just for the atmosphere. EXTREMELY upbeat and friendly staff. I’ve worked in the food industry off and on for 15 years and I can tell you for a fact; this is very hard to find in a restaurant. It is extremely valuable though. The entire restaurant seemed happy. And it carried over to me and husband. Thank you! On to the food! Mac N Cheese was fantastic. Pepperjack was a nice change 🙂 Fried Catfish was great as well 🙂 Portions were huge with everything! Jambalaya was some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfect amounts of seasoning. Cajun cheese fries… YUM! Spicy but in a good way which was surprising for this Yankee! We will definitely be back!!
I guess it was unfair to get my hopes up and think that this place would be as good as the food you get in South Louisiana. The food was not bad, but not even close to being the best in Louisiana. Not bad for Shreveport. The seafood gumbo was pretty good (a little pricey). The fried shrimp was just OK. ( Reasonably priced ). The beignets were nice and hot, but they tasted to me like they were fried in the same grease they fry the fish in. Overall, it’s ok. I wouldn’t call it great. But like I said before, it may be unfair for me to post my opinion when I expect my Cajun food to taste like the real Cajun food in South Louisiana. Will I be back? Probably…just not all that often.
