You’ll have no trouble finding what to do in Shreveport when you arrive—the place is famous for its endless outdoor activities and fun riverfront casinos.

Here are just four stops you’re going to want to make: 

What to Do in Shreveport in Two Days

Orlandeaux’s Café: Located on scenic Cross Lake, Orlandeaux’s does seafood right. Don’t miss their Shreveport-style shrimp—large shrimp stuffed with fiery Creole dressing, deep fried and served with a spicy tartar sauce. 

Frozen Pirogue: You’ve had oysters before, but not like these. Their oysters 318 are shucked and then chargrilled with Great Raft Brewing’s 318 Golden Ale and parmesan cheese for a one-of-a-kind treat. 

Abby Singer’s Bistro: Everything on the menu here is great. But don’t miss the marinated crab claws, which are bathed in a signature herb-spice marinade and served cold on a colorful bed of spring mix. 

Sweetport: There’s always room for ice cream! This local favorite creates flavors inspired by the area’s history. You’ll definitely want to try a scoop (or three) of Caddough, their cookie-dough flavored ice cream named for the Louisiana region it comes from—Caddo Parish.
