Copelands, Shreveport, LA
It was my first experience at Copelands and I can honestly tell you that I will not go back. It was Feb. 16, 2003. I ordered the onion mum and it was a little crispier that I would have preferred with a few burned french fries in there for garnish...The salad that was to come with my dinner did not arrive until after we were served our meal and I asked...We were never asked how our meal was or if we needed anything...I was even presented with my check before they offered us any dessert! I was there with my three children, my husband is currently serving his country overseas, and I believe they thought I was a single mother and wouldn't leave them a tip. It definately wasn't worth the money I paid.    [18 Feb 2003 11:14:12]

Hit or Miss
I have been to Copeland's in Shreveport and Monroe, and in one word I would have to say it is "inconsistent." I have been there at times when the food was wonderful and service was impeccable. Then, there were the other times when we had to wait for our meal for an hour and when it was served, the food was overly seasoned and poor quality. Once, I ordered shrimp with tasso, and it was so peppery that I had to down a glass of water! I couldn't continue eating it because the waitress never came by to refill my water glass! My husband and I visit the one in Monroe on occasion (we live there) but we don't make it a favorite hangout of ours.    [12 May 2003 15:02:21]

No Magnolia Mushroom?!!
One of the favorite dishes my wife and I enjoyed at Copeland's was the Magnolia Mushroom. In Shreveport it is no longer on the menu.    [04 Mar 2006 23:31:51]

It was Fanstastic
I had a great steak and the service was good. It was so much better than the last time.    [24 Mar 2006 00:33:55]

A Favorite for Special Occasions
We always choose Copeland's for special (and not so special) occasions and have never been disappointed. The food is wonderful and the service great. They also have call-ahead seating which limits the wait even on holidays.    [10 Aug 2006 17:30:45]

Not Good But Not Bad
A 22oz rib-eye crazy. Anyways this is nothing like the one in New Orleans. The pasta is always oily and sea food over cooked. Steaks overcooked. The only thing I really enjoy is the Veal dish and the beans and rice    [24 Jun 2007 23:13:23]
