A Hidden Gem In Shreveport Serves The Best BBQ Ribs

The last time I did a check on ribs in the Shreveport Bossier area, there was an easy winner. But since then, a new player is in the game. Magnolia Pit is now one of the best BBQ joints in town. I love the burnt ends at this spot on Jordan at Line, but the ribs are stupendous.

But I still have to give the title of best ribs in northwest Louisiana to this small hole in the wall in north Shreveport.

It doesn't matter what time you stop by this place. If it's open, you can smell the goodness the moment you step out of your car. This north Shreveport restaurant is nothing special to look at. It's old and worn out and the tables inside probably date back to the opening decades ago. But rest assured, the food is spectacular.

If you don't feel like driving to Jefferson, Texas for great BBQ at Riverport, you can make a short drive just outside of downtown Shreveport to pick up some of the best tasting food you will find. I popped in the other day just before 11am and there was already of line of people at the counter ready to order. Most of the patrons grab food to go. But you can stop in with a friend or two and sit down inside to indulge on some great BBQ. The chopped beef sandwiches are very popular. They even serve hamburgers which are a hot item.

But if you want ribs in Shreveport Bossier, this is the place to go. Now, I am not a rib connoisseur, but I do know what I like. These ribs are juicy and tender and the meat falls off the bone. I love ribs that taste exceptional with or without sauce. And that is what you will find here.

The sauce is so special, but the ribs are just as delectable without the sauce. They are charred, but still very moist. I can not really describe this special flavor in words. I do have one thing to give you a heads-up about. I'm not real found of the baked beans at Jacks. They are a little too vinegary for my taste. I think they need to be a little bit sweeter. But you might like them.

So I gathered all my friends and co-workers to rank the ribs in our area. Here are the top 10.
