The best meals are often hidden away in unassuming exteriors, but as we all know, you should never judge a book by its cover. That certainly is the case then when you stroll up to Marilynn’s Place, a converted gas station that’s serving up some amazingly good home-cooked meals. Let’s check it out.

Welcome to Marilynn's Place, your new favorite eatery in the heart of Shreveport.

How about a big plate of crawfish étouffée, gumbo, or red beans and rice?

Because the dessert menu will satisfy anyone's sweet tooth.
For dessert, you have plenty of options, but you certainly can't go wrong with the beignets.

Nothing screams "New Orleans" like biting into a hot beignet doused with powdered sugar. An order of these plus an order of their banana's foster and you'll practically be doing a second line out of the restaurant.
Marilynn's Place is open seven days a week.
