Bossier City Residents Have a Reason to Cross the River
Southwestern Food and Cold Drinks Just Minutes from Bossier City

While Bossier City has plenty going on with its entertainment venues and Barksdale Air Force Base community, sometimes you want a dining experience that trades the casino floor for something more personal. Tejas Kitchen Bar Patio is just across the Red River on Pierremont Road in Shreveport — a straightforward drive via I-20 or US-80 that Bossier City residents make regularly when they're looking for variety. The rustic interior, antique decor, and made-from-scratch menu offer something distinctly different from the standard options on the Bossier strip.

Unlike the louder, higher-volume spots tied to Bossier's casino traffic, Tejas is built around the food and the atmosphere. Southwestern comfort dishes like chicken fried steak, chicken wings, and the house patty melt anchor the menu, while the full bar — stocked with local beers, craft cocktails, and frozen margaritas — gives you every reason to stay a while. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM, the hours work whether you're coming in for a late brunch or an early dinner before the evening picks up.

The Kind of Bar and Kitchen Bossier City Diners Keep Coming Back To

Military families and civilian residents from Bossier City make up a consistent part of the dining community on the Shreveport side of the river. The cross-river trip is a familiar pattern here — Bossier City residents routinely head into Shreveport for dining variety, and Tejas has built a reputation that makes the drive worth it. The bar is stocked with local options you won't find everywhere, and the kitchen turns out southwestern staples made the right way.

The Friday menu at Tejas adds an end-of-week draw that gives you a specific reason to plan around it. Pair that with the patio, which catches a good breeze on cooler evenings, and you have a setup that suits a casual outing as well as a relaxed group meal. The staff keeps things friendly and the pace comfortable — not rushed, not slow.

If you're in Bossier City and ready to make the short drive for southwestern food done right, Tejas Kitchen Bar Patio is worth building into your regular rotation. Learn More about the menu and what's happening at Tejas this week.
