Jan's River - Shreveport

We enjoyed a great meal of fried pimples, catfish and shrimp, and I can say that it was the best fried seafood we had for many months. Thank you, Jan's!

Driving up to Jan's we thought we were in the wrong place but we saw people walking in so we went in as well. The best decision ever. After being greeted they layer out what we could only call a typical Southern table. We got hush puppies, cold slaw, green tomato relish, an onion slice, lemon slices, bean soup and tartar sauce. All were delicious. For our meals we ordered the 16oz marinaded ribeye steak and a baked potato and the grilled catfish and fries. So much food and so good. Even had enough for dinner the next night. Such amazingly great food!! We also appreciated the great service we received from the staff.

Hands down the best executed fried pickles I’ve ever eaten! They were crispy and the ranch was on point! I little salty but I could handle it. Fish reminded of my childhood. And I loved it.

The fried catfish was amazing!!! It was fried and seasoned to perfection. It was my first time visiting with family. I will definitely be returning. The service was great!!!

This popular family restaurant lives up to its reputation of fantastic home style cooking, the best catfish in the tri-state area and friendly helpful staff. Prices are outstanding when everybody can certainly appreciate a good deal. Eating at Jan's is a deal that can't be beat!
