Haughton's Go-To Destination for Real Southwestern Cooking
Skip the Drive-Through — Tejas Kitchen Bar Patio Is Worth the Trip

When you're living in Haughton and the local dining options don't quite cover what you're in the mood for, the drive into Shreveport along US-80 is a well-worn solution. Haughton has been growing steadily as a Bossier Parish suburb, but full-service dining hasn't kept pace with the residential expansion — which means residents regularly make the 15-to-20-minute drive into the Shreveport-Bossier corridor for a sit-down meal worth their time. Tejas Kitchen Bar Patio on Pierremont Road makes that drive easy to justify.

The menu is built around made-from-scratch southwestern dishes — chicken fried steak, chicken wings, and a patty melt that regulars order by name. The interior carries a rustic, antique character that gives the space a lived-in warmth you won't find at newer chain spots. Instead of spending another evening settling for whatever's convenient near home, Haughton diners can head into Shreveport and find something that actually satisfies, paired with a cold local beer or a well-made margarita.

A Full Kitchen and Bar That Makes the Drive From Haughton Count

Once you're seated at Tejas, you'll understand why it draws diners from outside the immediate neighborhood. The bar carries local beers on tap, craft cocktails, and frozen margaritas alongside a food menu that changes things up with a dedicated Friday offering. If you're planning around the end of the week, the Friday menu gives you a specific reason to time the drive from Haughton and make it a proper occasion rather than just another meal out.

The patio is a real asset during the spring and fall months when northwest Louisiana's weather cooperates. On those evenings when the temperature settles and the humidity backs off, sitting outside with something cold in hand and good food on the table is about as good as it gets. The staff keeps the experience low-key and genuine — no theater, just good food and attentive service.
