• ★★★★☆ 8oz Burger Onion Rings Fried Green Tomatoes Visited Feb 15, 2017

  Food Was Average Quality, Was Expecting More

  I was passing thru Shreveport late one evening and saw the casino. Thinking there would be somewhere to get food after 9pm in a casino, I stopped in to stretch the legs and grab some food.
  
  Inside the Binions Horseshoe I found the 8oz Burger Bar that was open 24 hours. The menu offered a wide variety of items, and since the place was named as such, I ordered the item with a matching name the "8oz Burger" with the combo option. For my side I got the onion rings and a Coke.
  
  The menu also had Fried Green Tomatoes listed, I couldnt pass up the chance to get some, as theres been a few places I've had them where they were simply amazing.
  
  My food came out and the burger was pretty good, I wouldn't call it excellent but it was tasty and prepared well with decent flavor. The onion rings and the fried green tomatoes were just OK. I had high hopes for the fried green tomatoes but they lacked a bit of flavor and really needed a sauce to take them to the next level. Overall the food wasnt bad, but fell short of what I had hoped it would be.
  
  Even at 11pm the place had a good amount of people dining, and service was a bit spotty. Only 2 waitresses were working while I was there and they were running from table to table, clearing tables, seating guests, taking orders, refilling drinks, and delivering orders. My drink went empty at one point and wasnt refilled until my meal arrived, and then remained empty again until my check came.
  
  Overall both the food and service were average. The prices here suggested that I was going to have something a bit better than average, but It fell short.
