Best French Dip Sandwich in Bossier City, Why You Have to Try Fat Tuesday

Shreveport-Bossier has officially become a premier destination for foodies across East Texas and Louisiana. We aren’t just "getting by" anymore, we are churning out some of the best flavors in the South. With Fat Calf Brasserie earning national nods and El Cabo Verde being crowned the best Mexican restaurant in the state, our local chefs are consistently putting us on the map.

However, one local sandwich shop is reminding us that you don’t have to go to a white-tablecloth establishment for a world-class meal. Sometimes, perfection is found in the simplicity of a sandwich.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it forever, Fat Tuesday Sandwich Shop makes the best French Dip I’ve ever had, and yes, that includes the ones I’ve tried in New Orleans.

More Than Just a Sandwich

This isn’t your typical, run-of-the-mill French Dip. This baby is loaded with perfectly seasoned beef, sautéed mushrooms, and onions that have soaked up every bit of that rich au jus flavor. Then, there’s the cheese, perfectly melted on top to seal everything together in a gooey, savory embrace.

The moment you dunk that packed sandwich into the piping hot au jus, you’ll swear you hear angels singing. It is a savory masterclass in a bun.

Don’t Skip the Sides (or the Sweets)

While the French Dip is the star, the supporting cast at Fat Tuesday holds its own. Their "Soup of the Day" is a guaranteed win every single time, and their Red Beans and Rice is so good it honestly should have been a permanent menu staple years ago.

And since we are in the thick of the season, don't forget that Fat Tuesday is famous for its King Cakes. Basically, get yourself to Shady Grove Drive for a party in your mouth as soon as possible.
