Dont be fooled by the esthetics of this place... they are serving sub-par, half-assed, overpriced food. Breakfast Sandwiches are expensive and the quality doesn't justify the price. Our bill for 2 breakfast sandwiches and 1 OJ, came to $22. Whatever they are trying to pass as eggs here, is not cutting it. Just take a look at the pictures I took of our food... Breakfast sandwiches aren't typically made with "fluffy" eggs, because it doesn't fit well on a sandwich, and is too large to bite into! The eggs here are like 4 inches tall, mushy and almost unrecognizable as an egg. My boyfriend took one bite of his food, got up from the table and spit it into the trashcan. The texture was revolting. (He ordered the Turkey Scrambler). I am speechless... and still hungry. Go to McDonalds down the street. You'll eat better and spend alot less money. read more

This place is located within the Watermark Hotel. They have a decent breakfast menu and also have sime grab and go items. Only a few tables inside but they were a bit too close for me to feel comfortable dining inside...u know..with the covid and all. I ordered a breakfast platter to go. Coffee is free if you are staying at the hotel so that was a nice perk. The breakfast looked pretty small at first glance but it was quite a bit of food. Grits and bacon were cooked nicely. Eggs were overcooked which made them a bit dry. I enjoyed the grilled biscuit as well. Overall a good experience. read more

In what world is this a "New York deli?" It's not even a bodega. Staying at the Watermark. I'm told this is a great breakfast spot. One of Baton Rouge's best. There is no way. A bacon, egg and cheese on a Costco croissant does not personify greatness. Just because a small coffee shop sells a bagel, doesn't make it a NY deli. Panera sells bagels and there is nothing more opposite to a NY bagel than a white bread, steam, convection oven baked bagel. This is a coffee stand, no different than a Starbucks. Any bagel they serve has come in from a food supplier. There is no kitchen or kettle to boil the bagels. They put lox on a bagel. Okay - so does Einstein Bros. That's not a NY deli or a great bagel. There was nothing wrong with the food. Service was adequate. Price was in line with anyone else. It was open at 6 am, compared to the hotel breakfast that was open at 6:30 am. This is not a "great" breakfast. Coffee from an urn and other reviews say they have great coffee. This is the same stuff you get at a gas station. Even the espresso was from an automated machine, Franke or some derivative thereof. There was no Marzocco present. If there is something amazing here, go forth and find it. I didn't. read more

Walking around my hotel early on a holiday weekend looking for a place to get breakfast and stumbled upon this spot. Due to Hurricane Ida they had a limited menu. I got the oatmeal platter to take to my hotel. It came with fresh fruit and toast and sausage for $10. Expectations were low and I ended up enjoying my breakfast! read more

The coffee was good, but I think I was charged for a flavor that I didn't receive which is no bueno. Also, I got the salmon bagel and something was missing. I can't tell you what, but it was just okay and I feel like it should have been better. It has Boursin cheese, spinach, everything bagel and smoked salmon so it should have been bomb, but it was just okay. Part of it could have been the missing ambience. I mean, you order at a counter, like in a cafeteria. There was little of no service, and then you sit at one of five tables. One man had to move because of the table situation. read more

The hospitality here is so refreshing for a girl from "up north." I stayed in the watermark so I came here for some breakfast eats. The two women I encountered behind the counter were both nice and really helpful. I got the breakfast platter (I think that's the name) with eggs, sausage, grits and a biscuit. The woman even asked if I wanted salt and pepper on my eggs and to hand her a couple of packets. Usually you just have to add the salt and pepper on after the fact which isn't as good as being cooked into the eggs. That's what I call going a step above. I even witnessed another woman go out of her way to grab decaf coffee from the other restaurant since they had already stopped making coffee for the day. My biscuit was delicious, nice and buttery how I like. The grits were nice and creamy, I just wish I had asked for cheese in them. The entire meal was yummy, I was sad I couldn't finish it all. I'll definitely be back whenever I stay at the watermark. read more

Bad customer service. The girl at the counter was forgetful and not very nice. Called ahead to grab my order to go. Quoted 10min. Showed up in 10 and they told me my order wasn't even started yet. Food was not good at all. Would never eat here again. read more

Right next to the Watermark hotel. I want to give this place more stars but I am not sure if the eggs are real. There are about 6 tables. The staff were nice and the flavor was pretty good but the eggs looked like they were sliced out of a loaf pan and the two thin pieces of toast weren't strong enough to hold up the sand which. Now, the flavor was just fine and I would go back for a quick bagel and the most reasonable prices. Maybe sourdough for the breakfast sandwich? Just a thought. read more

This is better place to eat at Marriott's WaterMark Autograph Hotel. Their coffee is outstanding and chocolate muffins are deliciously moist. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, salads and lunch items. I love their deli sliced Turkey w/ Swiss Cheese. Can eat in restaurant, but I get my offerings to go. read more

After being released from jury duty, I figured I would swing by a downtown establishment and grab something to go (I wish more people would!).I've heard pretty okay things about Milford's, and the special looked pretty good. I ordered the turkey sandwich, and it was overpacked with turkey on multigrain sandwich with bacon, swiss, and avocado spread. While it was nothing to really write home about, it was inexpensive and tasty. No, it's no NYC deli, but we are thousands of miles from NYC, so that's expected. They try though. Also, as a bonus for the service, it was the polar opposite of several delis I visited in NYC - friendly and quick. I intend to go back and try some other things next time. read more

We had high hopes for this place, after reading some of the reviews and talking to some friends that have been here. The place is very small. Only eight tables on the inside and two out. They offer counter service and a grab and go refrigerator. We went for breakfast on a Sunday. Breakfast options are limited. Bagels, bagels sandwiches, one wrap and a couple breakfast plates. They also offer fresh baked pastry, which was sold out before we got there. The only gluten free options are the two breakfast plates (one was oatmeal the other eggs) and parfaits. I ordered the Salt and smoke which is a salmon breakfast sandwich on a bagel. I was surprised when I was not asked what kind of bagel I wanted. I also ordered a cappuccino. Hubby got an everything bagel with salmon added, water and a wakey bakey. (We had a 225 deal to use). We sat down and waited for our food. Our food was delivered after a ten minute wait. Kind of long considering there was only one other table ahead of us. And it came without my cappuccino. The server went back and made my cappuccino and brought it out. Our take on the food. The salt and smoke was not what I expected. There was plenty of salmon. The onion bagel fresh. A small smear of onion cream cheese and spinach. I think it needed tomato, onion and capers to give it some flavor. The croissant and bacon was overdone on the wakey bakey. The egg patty seemed to be premade based on the texture and appearance. Skinny on the place. Service is slow. I only got my cappuccino after asking for it when our food arrived. The prices are high. $3 for bottled water. $9 for smoked salmon bagel sandwich. (Hint. Order a bagel with smear and add salmon and you'll pay $6. Unless you think having spinach is worth an additional $3). The wakey bakey is not a bad deal for $6. read more

Food is good, service is slow as molasses. However, the food is not good enough to wait. Go somewhere else until management gets their place in order. To give an example, a bagel with plain cream cheese took 21 minutes. read more

Milford's is the deli associated with the Watermark Hotel on 3rd Street. It opens to both the street and hotel lobby. They have a number of grab-and-go selections for those in a hurry, but I think their signature sandwiches are where it is at. I'm a fan of the hot sandwiches, like their signature sandwich, The Milford! The Brisket Sandwich is also a hearty choice. Reuben's are also a tasty option. Sandwiches come with a pickle spear and a bag of chips of your choice. You can also get sides like slaw and potato salad. There is even a Matzo Ball soup option. I can't speak to the breakfast options from personal experience, but they do have them. Bagels and fixings are a tasty option I saw on their menu. The service is prompt and friendly. They seem to be a good choice for stopping in for a quick meal while downtown. read more

While staying at the Watermark we came down our first day for breakfast. The Wakey Bakey was nicely done. But the Marriott employee whose name was not visible needed to be assigned to a place with no guest interaction. While everyone has bad days service industry staff need to learn to overcome it and still be pleasant to the guests read more

We had the breakfast burrito and the bagels. All were delicious. I love the vibe. Really neat little place!

Went back today and tried the brisket sandwich. Brisket, cheddar, bbq sauce on a bun and grilled in a press. I also had the potato salad. This was a much better experience than earlier this week. The sandwich was quite tasty and all the ingredients worked well together. The bun was fresh! The potato salad was very mayo-ey and very onioney. It was quite spicy from the onion. I enjoyed it but could see it running people off (not just b/c of their onion breath...which will be brutal). Still 3 stars b/c that means "A-OK". read more

The Milfords Bowl! This is a breakfast bowl consisting of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, and hash browns. A great combination of breakfast flavors in one bowl. The service was good, the food came out very fast, and was hot. We are passing through on vacation and found this nice little place right next to the Mississippi River. It's connected to a very nice high end hotel in the downtown area. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

The people working there were nice. The bagel was not bad! But with $5 tip we paid $39 for 2 small bagels with lox- NOT TOASTED which I'd requested- & with no tomato, which i had also asked for. Plus 2 tiny containers of dried out, old berries. Fairly disappointed. If I'd paid $15 for everything, I'd be ok- but overall a ridiculous experience. read more

We had the Third Street sandwich. We loved it. We plan to return. We also appreciate them working hard with only two people on shift.

The two working behind the counter don't communicate. Literally 18 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese and a smoked salmon bagel. Large groups coming in after me were served before me. Add 2 cranberry juices and over $20. You'd think a high end place like this could hire competent employees. read more

What a joke. I'm from New York State and have been looking for a decent deli/bagel shop. This was my last hope and man, what a disappointment. The bagel come out of a Pepperidge Farm bag and I watched them microwave precooked bacon for my sandwich. And somehow, it cost me $10. One employee was talking to her friend on the store phone, the other ignored me when I was asking her direct questions about their menu. Don't bother even checking it out. read more

The breakfast is always exceptional delicious at Milford's on Third, Baton Rouge, La. I always give a "Shout Out" to the Cook. Today, I can't give a "Shout Out to the Cook.

I'm surprised at the mediocre reviews of this place. It's more or less a deli tucked on the side of the Watermark hotel. The breakfast menu options are plentiful and there's a very sizeable selection of drinks available as well. I had the breakfast croissant with fried green tomatoes and thought it was incredible. The cooks work at a pretty quick clip so if you're ever in a rush and want a breakfast that's filling, I'd check this place out. read more

I was so looking forward to a good delicatessen in Baton Rouge, but this is not it. I got a Ruben. The pastrami was dry and flavorless. There was barely any dressing and a dollop of sauerkraut was pretty pathetic. I may go back on to give them another chance, but I'm not hopeful it will be any better. read more

Looking for breakfast downtown Baton Rouge? Do not eat here. Staff not attentive, (on personal phones and not interested in customers). Order was wrong. Time did not allow me to reorder and wait. Food that was served might as well been served at a campground. I normally have at least one positive thing to say...oh yeah, the Community Coffee in the self serve pot was good. read more

Located in the new Watermark building, Milford's on Third aspires to be a Jewish deli, but I think with a more modern take. I had the smoked salmon on an everything bagel with cream cheese and capers. It was also supposed to have onions and tomato on it, but those were left off accidentally. I also had a side of cole slaw, which tasted more like saurkraut, so they may want to update the menu to indicate that. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and look forward to coming back. They just opened literally yesterday, so they may still have a few kinks to iron out. However, I am so excited to have a new lunch option in the downtown area! Next time I come back, I want to try some of their hot-pressed sandwiches or some of the fresh salads. read more

This place isn't worth the time that you spend driving around downtown trying to find a parking spot. 13 dollars for a bagel sandwich where the bagel comes straight out of the tollhouse bag from Walmart in plain view with three pieces of thinly sliced salmon--then you have to wait 15 minutes for the sandwich. Just overall not very good and too much money for what it is. read more

I had the Milford and agree with a previous reviewer... the meat was dry and the sandwich was actually far too overloaded to enjoy. I ended up eating it with a fork. It was just okay. read more

Love this little deli! We stayed in the hotel attached and found ourselves eating here on more than one occasion. The staff and cooks are accommodating and the food is delicious. They also have coffee and tea options that were lovely. I had the bagel and lox one day and a breakfast burrito the next. Both were great and I would definitely eat here again next time I am in the area. Not sure why there are reviews complaining about the working staff...they were top notch at accommodating us, and we are some picky eaters! read more
