Good parking, great food, fast service! Went for lunch and had beef tips and gravy over rice, purple hull peas, and lima beans and it came with cake and ice cream for dessert. Outstanding! Added to my Florida trip stop list. read more

Quick breakfast bite that isn't costly - Visiting family, I stopped by here to grab a quick bite. The space has decent seating, max about 4 per table. The wait staff was kind and attentive. It was fairly busy but the food came out pretty quick. I got PawPaws breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit) . The biscuit and potatoes were the best part. Honestly delicious. The eggs were a little wet for my liking. They have 4 pieces of bacon which I appreciate. Overall , a decent breakfast read more

We really enjoyed the shrimp po boy and the brisket po boy. The fried green beans and okra were great. We also liked that we could have our dog with us outside on the front sidewalk under the awning. They even brought him some bacon! At the end of the meal, we were surprised to get cake and ice cream. We didn't know to expect that. Would come back. Good experience. read more

Wow- went her on a whim & hubs & I were very impressed from the eclectic homey decor to the super friendly waitresses not to mention both the grilled & blackened redfish. Hubs had salad, rice & brown gravy & I got the turnip greens & season rice. We also had the hot water corn bread. As a bonus their entrees come with a dessert (cake of the day a la mode) - A nice little treasure with very reasons prices in West Monroe. Go check them out! read more

Belle's Ole South Diner - Beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes with homemade Mac n cheese with fried okra - Diners Near Me - West Monroe, Louisiana

This place is amazing! Great food, great service . My favorite place for breakfast !!

This little gem of a place was amazing. It was relocated about 8 years ago into a small strip mall, but that didn't take away from the sweet, southern hospitality. Our server made us feel like we were part of the regulars; this was our first time there. She thoroughly explained the menu, what was great, and her favorites. She even invited us to lunch and told us the Beef Tips were what they were known for. The food was incredible. I only added salt to my eggs; everything else was seasoned beautifully. The portions were JUST RIGHT. Walked away feeling satisfied. It honestly felt like I had a meal at granny's house. What a wonderful experience. read more

This is a good place to get breakfast. Let me set the stage for you so you understand how I ended up here. I was traveling for work and staying at a nearby hotel. I met the tea in the lobby and imagine my surprise when the free breakfast had no eggs at all. I mean, they had hard-boiled eggs but who eats that for breakfast? This turned out to be a blessing in disguise since it led me to find Belle's. Belle's is just what I want in a breakfast restaurant. Super friendly staff, filled with locals, and normal breakfast. I hate boujee breakfast. If you like boujee breakfast, I am not judging you. Because you are probably a girl and who doesn't like girls. However, boujee breakfast places cannot make good normal breakfast, so I avoid them at all costs. I decided to try their brisket omelet. It had a great egg to stuff ratio which is key to a good omelet. Fluffy eggs are BS. A proper omelet should have thin eggs and the perfect amount of stuff. My one complaint with this omelet is that it had a sweet bbq sauce on top. I do not dig sweet breakfast and it threw the taste off a little. Luckily for me, they had hot sauce on the table. That will fix too sweet any day of the week. Will I be back? Yep. Should you come here? Yep. read more

I personally love their daily specials and all their southern style vegetables but you have to get there early to get a seat. They usually get the food served quickly and the staff is friendly. The only drawback is the setup for paying your bill. read more

Excellent food for a great price. Very friendly staff and always accommodating. Great "mom-n-pop" type diner

Service was outstanding for my first time there. They gave me the run down on what's popular and got great reviews. The steak poboy was tasty as well as the peas and beef tips and rice. The greens where good tasting but a bit too spicy for my taste. I'll be back read more

I've only had the breakfast here and it's amazing. Simply put the best dam biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The pancakes are amazing too. Don't be fooled by the free meh coffee, the food is to fight for. Service is good too, fast, friendly, and genuine. Ambience is nice but not super telling. It's a nice warm, cozy spot. Get in early with all the old folk if you want it peaceful, it packs fast in the mornings around 8-9 am. Me and my girlfriend love this spot. read more

My kids and I had a really great experience at Belle's Ole South Diner during a cross-country road trip. The staff was incredibly kind. Clean, free restrooms. No wait when we arrived thanks to a decent amount of seating that could accommodate the steady flow of customers. Definitely had "old time" vibes with the decor, menu, plates, etc. Solid breakfast stop that is definitely going to become a go-to when I pass through the area from now on. read more

Traditional diner with great atmosphere and a good hearty breakfast. Here, you will find friendly service in a place where a lot of folks know one another. Stephanie was wonderful. Piping hot community coffee and good omelets. Definitely put this one on your list. It's in a great location too. read more

Delicious home cooked food. Super friendly service. If I lived in town I'd eat here often. My wife was impressed by their grilled chicken salad and I enjoyed the catfish. Great hush puppies. They offered cake and ice cream at the end of our meal. Casual, friendly ambience! read more

One of the things that I enjoy about traveling is finding different places to eat....particularly breakfast joints. This place was a few miles from my hotel in West Monroe. Easy to get to, easy parking lot. The restaurant is seated in a small shopping center. Sitting in here for a few moments reminds you of what a small town this is.....right out of an old TV show....as if on cue, the local police are sitting in the corner eating breakfast with another local, the very friendly waitress greets everyone who enters by name and engages in chitchat abt the their work, the weather, etc. ...to be clear, the service was super-friendly. I ordered "Pawpaws plate" a straight-forward breakfast dish for sure. Meat, eggs, biscuit, and something called "mojos" which were just home fries. Everything was cooked nicely and was tasty. The bacon was thicker than average (awesome!) and cooked perfectly. Exactly what I expected when I ordered this straight-forward breakfast plate! Nice find! read more

Great home style cooking, never disappoints!! Great service and friendly staff Great place.. get there early!!! read more

Passing through town and stopped in for breakfast. Glad we picked this place, the waitress wasted no time coming over to greet us and take our drink and food order. The food came out quickly and was steaming hot. We had the omlet and skillet, both were delicious. The potatoes and biscuit that come with the meals were amazing! The omlet portion is large, couldn't finish everything. While the place is small it is cozy and very comfortable. read more

We were in town for a baseball tournament and found this place. Not far from the hotel. The biscuits will melt in your mouth. Great place for a family breakfast. The service was fast and friendly.

I ate breakfast here today, and the waitstaff(Jamie) was super friendly! I ordered the meat lovers omelette and it was fantastic! I got the biscuit and sausage gravy, and I must say, most sausage gravies I try are too bland. Not here, the sausage gravy was flavorful and tasted great! Good people and folk at this lovely place. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu read more

We stopped here while on a road trip. It was a good recommendation. Breakfast is done being served at 10:30 but they were nice enough to let us order. I definitely was "eating with my eyes" because I ordered the very reasonably priced Papaw's breakfast and a single pancake and the portions were big. It was delicious home cooking like your mom would make it. The ladies working were very kind! One lady knew we were out there with our service dog right before. She went out of her way to tell us to bring her inside instead of leaving her in the car (don't worry the windows were open and the car was on). She asked if she could give her bacon and Lucy was so happy! Thank you for a warm welcome to Monroe, Lousiana. read more

I particularly enjoyed my steak and eggs breakfast, but my wife's bacon was pretty burnt. So I'd say they do a good job, but there are potential pitfalls. Take my two cents for what it's worth. I'd recommend stopping. read more

Everything was perfect....food was delicious and friendliest service! The hot water cornbread was amazing!!

Great good and service! Omelets and the skillet are really good! Mojo potatoes taste amazing!

What a find! Lots of locals enjoying breakfast while I was there. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Clearly they have regulars as some people were addressed by name. I opted for the Smokehouse Omelette. It was a brisket and cheese omelette with the option of adding veggies into it (not me, I'm straight meat). From there the options are toast or biscuit and grits or mojos (there version of home fries with Cajun spices sprinkled on). I added the mojos. I added a picture. The omelette was well plated with a drizzle of bbq sauce with a little bite and a sour cream drizzle. As a guy who makes Texas brisket ethos was not as good as Texas but far better than other attempts I've had in a restaurant. The mojos were basic cut potatoes but the seasoning helped them along nicely. All in all a great breakfast on the road. Very glad I stumbled on it and I'd make a return visit for sure if I'm in town for a meal. read more

Man that food was good and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back again. The Skillet was so delicious.

Service was very nice and attentive. But the breakfast was just average. Neither bad nor great.

This place is amazing! The food is incredible. I can only speak for breakfast but over the course of the two days (in a row) that I went I ordered pretty much everything on the menu right down to the beignets and everything was so so so good! And to top it off the staff has really great southern charm. This place was a gem and I am glad I found it! read more

I'm going all out 5 Star rating here. I was immediately acknowledged upon entering & given customers choice of seating. After narrowing my decision down, my server very eloquently guided me to my final choice of Boudin Omlete with a side of Cheese Grits & a homemade buttermilk Biscuit. My coffee was delivered promptly & refills abundant. This is my First visit but I will Most Certainly be a Return customer & this is one establishment I Highly Recommend!! The fact the Owner took the time to not only Read my post but to Respond, speaks Volumes of their attention towards Customer Satisfaction, their Pride (rightfully so) in their wonderful establishment & exquisite cuisine offered. That small extension of appreciation shown by the owner is a rarity yet very meaningful! I only Wish I could give a rating Higher than 5 stars!! Y'all maintain your Status Quo!!! I'm definitely looking Forward to my next exceptional culinary experience & most Certainly Recommend this establishment!!! Thank Y'all most Graciously! read more
