The meat lover omelet was super filling with very generous portions. The only letdown was the beignet bites, which didn't quite live up to standard, but the savory dishes and famous biscuits make it well worth a visit. Lastly, not enough vegan options.

Today after church my family and I attended Franks for the first time. The establishment was…read moredecorated with various farming equipment and pictures as well as family photos around the building. There was a very diverse range of people and families as well. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. I personally had the French toast combo, with scrambled eggs, bacon and a biscuit. During the meal I also tried some of the grits my husband ordered as well as my son's pancakes. Everything was good! Especially those pancakes! My husband ordered the omelette and grits, and he throughly enjoyed!

We had a wonderful breakfast at Simple Joe's Cafe in Baton Rouge!…read more I ordered the shrimp and grits, and it was absolutely delicious--creamy, well-seasoned grits topped with perfectly cooked shrimp and a flavorful sauce that tied everything together beautifully. My husband had an omelette with peppers and bacon, and he really enjoyed it. It was fluffy, generously filled, and cooked just right, with great smoky flavor from the bacon and a nice kick from the peppers. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a great local spot for a hearty, satisfying meal.

It's Simple as the name suggests…read more Nothing fancy or elaborate about this place. It's a small restaurant with a small open kitchen and a small dining room where you stand in line to place your order, get a number to put on your table, and servers bring the food to your table when it's ready. So, if you're looking for a large upscale, elegant restaurant with elaborate food presentations, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for a simple, quick and delicious meal, Simple Joe Café is for you. The menu consists of a wide variety of breakfast favorites, but the menu is not intimidating and easy to read and order from. Simple enough. When my family and I arrived, the small dining room was packed with a few open tables and about six other customers in line waiting to place their order. On Saturday and Sunday, you cannot sit at the open tables or hold the tables until you have placed your order and given a tent number. At that point, the servers will help you find a table to accommodate your party. The employees do a very good job of clearing and turning over the tables to make sure everyone is seated and able to enjoy their meal in a timely manner. I am not a fan of breakfast food and normally don't eat breakfast, so I only had coffee while my family enjoyed their meal, so the food quality part of this review is based on what they described as they were eating. They each ordered Joe's Number One Breakfast Combos which came with two eggs, choice of meat and pancakes and they shared an order of hashbrown and a side of grits. The food came out quickly. They stated everything was fresh, prepared and cooked as requested, the food tasted very good and enjoyed every bite. Of course, the coffee was hot, and fresh and the service was fast and friendly. The relaxed ambience and decor add to the unique character of the restaurant. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-16-26 Simple Joe Café | 3057 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA

Brioche, bananas, that rich Bananas Foster flavor...it's definitely on the sweeter side, but if you're going to brunch, sometimes you just have to commit. LOL. The menu has enough variety that everybody at the table can usually find something, whether you want breakfast, something savory, or one of the heavier brunch dishes. Just keep in mind that some menu items use tasso or other pork-based ingredients, so I always pay attention to what's actually in the dish before ordering. The restaurant itself is bright, busy, and has that fun brunch energy without feeling too overdone. Service is generally good, although like most popular brunch spots, things can slow down when they're packed.

City Pork on Jefferson has become my go-to restaurant whenever I can't decide what I'm in the mood…read morefor. The menu has something for everyone, and everything is consistently well prepared. The atmosphere is small, cozy, and inviting, making it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a special night out. Our server, Addison, was outstanding--easily one of the best servers I've had in Baton Rouge. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even better. If you get the chance, don't miss their Restaurant Week menu. They always go above and beyond, and this year was no exception. The quail, stuffed with boudin and served over red beans, was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor. It was one of the standout dishes I've had in quite a while. If you're in Baton Rouge and can't decide where to eat, City Pork on Jefferson is a place you can count on. Great food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere keep me coming back.
