Sometimes, you just need to treat yourself to a nice, juicy steak. There are countless restaurants peppered throughout the state that offer up amazing steaks, but none compare to this historical gem located in northeast Louisiana:

Nestled along the beautiful Ouachita River, Warehouse No. 1 is a charmingly rustic restaurant that serves some of the best steaks you’ll ever have.
Local-Beer/Trip Advisor
The family owned and operated restaurant opened its doors in 1980, but the history behind the building goes back much further.
The century-old structure was once a warehouse for cotton bales, which were loaded from steamboats making their way up and down the Ouachita River.

When the building was renovated to begin the process of turning it into a restaurant, they worked to preserve as much as possible. The original floors, exterior walls, and the exposed support beams are all original and add to the rustic atmosphere where you’ll feel welcome as soon as you step in the door.
