Sometimes the best things are found off the beaten path, and this certainly applies to an incredible eatery in northern Louisiana. This ramshackle restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but we promise you that the food they’re serving will make you a customer for life.
Welcome to Herby-K’s, a Shreveport staple since 1936. Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you; this diamond in the rough serves up some seriously delicious food.
The atmosphere is rustic and nostalgic. Louisianians have been dining at Herby-K’s for generations, and the restaurant’s commitment to consistency is what keeps locals coming back again and again.
Between the seafood platters, Cajun & Creole cuisine, and mouthwatering burgers, you’ll have a tough time trying to decide on what to order. The good news is that everything is amazing and you won't be disappointed with anything you try.
Of course, no trip to Herby-K’s is complete without ordering their famous Shrimp Buster. Herby-K himself invented this unique spin on a shrimp po’boy back in 1945, and it’s been one of their most popular menu items ever since.
Not in the mood for seafood? No problem. Their hearty burgers will satisfy your cravings. And the onion rings? Fried to a perfect golden brown with just the right amount of crunch.
