    Ms. Ashley was absolutely amazing! She truly showed my Houston family the Louisiana way and made our experience one to remember. Everything was wonderful, from the beautiful setup and starter sides to our delicious meals. The service was outstanding, and she made sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed throughout our entire experience. Thank you, Ms. Ashley, for making our visit so special! We truly enjoyed everything and will definitely be back!

    BYO B.Y.O. Omelet
    Ciera H.

    I was seated and greeted quickly, the waitress Ashley was friendly! The BYO omelette was flavorful, a little overcooked but I don't mind it, my only complaint is my mimosa took a while to come, the bar didn't to be too busy. The ambiance was fun, with good music and a clean environment!

    Visited this location to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The location is good and the decor attractive. The server was super friendly. Food was decent. I do not recommend the beignets-too dense.

    Their is a waitress/bartender goes by the name Nicole I think...She is amazing....You don't even have to ask for anything because she already be on top of all your needs....She always has a smile for you and she is always busy doing something....She always ask how's your morning or day going...She keeps you informed on the specials that they have going on too... I think she is an asset to the company and others around her!!!

    Creamy Vanilla Spiced Latte

    We waited 2.5 hours for this restaurant (did the wait list on Yelp and waited to come until we were #10 on the list). Despite that--as we knew there was a wait--the anticipation of having this place on my places to try for over a 1 year was deeply disappointing. We ordered the trifecta, the yo mama's peanut butter bacon burger, whipped strawberry cream mimosa, and a creamy vanilla iced coffee. The trifecta was the "best" thing out of the 2 entrees. The biscuits were good, however the items on item lacked flavor. The shrimp's creole tomato was lacking in spices. The egg cochon was the best out of the 3- The pork did melt and the sauce was great. The crispy fried chicken tasted like there was just batter thrown into the fryer then placed on top of the biscuit and drizzled with some cream sauce. The cream sauce I thought would at least help balance it out, but it still had no flavor. The Yo Mama's Peanut Butter Bacon Burger was sad. When I hear "peanut butter bacon" I think of a burger that is both gooey, Smokey, and slightly greasy. The peanut butter was just slabbed onto the bread and not evenly spread and so dry. The patties tasted so well done it felt like it was patties that they made extras to support lunch rush and was forgotten until we placed our order. I recommend that the peanut butter be melted down so that it oozes into the burger so it's not as dry and has more flavor. The cheese wasn't even melted into the patties... The whipped strawberry cream mimosa was yummy and I would recommend. It had the perfect amount of alcohol mixed with strawberry purée and cream foam. It was light and balanced. The creamy vanilla iced coffee tasted like milk. Did not taste like there was even any coffee. The cinnamon on top is a good splash once mixed in, but I recommend that more coffee be added to balance the sugar.

    My son picked this restaurant for brunch and it was a great choice. The food was definitely delicious for all of us except one person. Her bacon and potatoes were not good to her. The drinks were delicious. My daughter n law said there was water on the bathroom floor and that's unfortunate because she is pregnant. Should probably put up signs or have someone check them periodically for things like that. The waitress Ashley was very nice and polite. She was very helpful with menu suggestions. She seems to work really hard at her job. We are very grateful for her love for great service. Thank you Ashley ! We enjoyed our time there.

    Migas
    Joan G.

    I got the miga and it was outstanding. My husband got the hot chicken and French toast bites. Also amazing. Coffee is strong and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable. It is very pleasant inside and they have patio seating as well. NOTE to Business owner - you have enough customer photo's of your food. You don't need the business owner photo's. They make it look like you are covering up something. They automatically give a negative impact. YElper's want to see the real stuff when it is served. Just my opinion.

    A casual breakfast spot located at the end of a strip mall, Ruby Slippers is a quick and accessible option for those looking for a carb heavy southern breakfast. We were able to be seated as walk-ins on Presidents Day morning, although the place was absolutely packed. The service here was warm and the food came out moderately quick. This place feels like one of those higher end casual spots, definitely a step above IHOP, but not quite First Watch. We ordered a bunch of things so we'll break it down one by one: Pancakes with bacon - a bit of a letdown. Pancakes had no real flavor and the bacon was good, not great. Beignets - pretty good. Better than some we've had for sure, a nice sweet and doughy treat. French toast bites - very delicious. Came with a nice, sweet dipping sauce that really brought it home. Fried catfish & grits - hit and a miss. The catfish was delicious and lightly battered, the grits were very heavy and buttery which didn't go well with the catfish. It does also come with a biscuit that was light and buttery. Creamy vanilla iced coffee - good. Nothing too special, definitely better than a chain like Starbucks, that's for sure. It had a nice sweetness to it. Altogether, Ruby Slipper is a decent breakfast spot. Nothing we ate really hit it out of the park, but we were satisfied with our meal. It really seems like a local favorite spot and one that feels convenient to hit coming and going from NOLA. If you're looking for quick, convenient, and moderately cheap, this is the spot you're searching for.

    Southern Breakfast
    Tonya C.

    I recently went to have breakfast. We made reservations so it wasn't a long wait time. I ordered the southern breakfast. My food was average my eggs were cooked well, added cheese to my grits but was very runny and my fried green tomato had no flavor, I ordered coffee and I had to send it back not good. Bacon and biscuit were average and eaten. My service was average. The restaurant was clean and I was seated on the side with a window view.

    Praline pancakes, breakfast potatoes, Bacon, & Beignets Starter

    I just love this place. The praline pancakes are must! And Ashley C. Went above and beyond to make sure my experience was awesome.

    Found this place on Yelp, and the food was pretty solid. I will say, though, their waitlist and host situation is a bit of a mess. The area is super small with zero organization. We were in town for a football game, so I imagine it was busier than usual, but the hostess still seemed extremely overwhelmed and unsure of what was going on. Thankfully, the general manager ended up seating us, and he was extremely nice--our server was great as well. We all ordered mimosa flights, which were just okay. They had way too much juice for my taste, and the glasses weren't filled anywhere near the top. But the food made up for it. I had the Benedict Trio, which was amazing--super flavorful and very filling. The beignets were also hot, fresh, and delicious. Overall, a good spot for food, but the front-of-house operations could definitely use some improvement.

    Beignets Starter, Fried Catfish and Grits, and Whipped Pineapple Mimosa
    B.V. R.

    I had the Beignets for an appetizer, entree was Catfish and Grits, and for a drink Whipped Pineapple Mimosa. The beignets were a bit doughy, biscuit texture, the catfish was overcooked and chewy, the grits were real creamy which I did like, and the Whipped Pineapple Mimosa was fine. I was disappointed in the food as it didn't appeal to the tastebuds. The line was out the door, but the wait wasn't terrible at all. Our waitress got our tables mixed up so orders were going to different tables. She was a nice girl, but definitely inexperienced when it comes to a busy work day. Overall the food wasn't worth the price and very disappointing.

    Gulf Shrimp Omelet with Breakfast Potatoes
    Seanniece B.

    We were greeted and seated immediately. It did take a little minute for our waiter to come to our table but she took our order quickly and put it in the system. I ordered the gulf shrimp omelette with breakfast potatoes, gluten-free toast, fruit salad, and chicken sausage. I also ordered an Earl Grey hot tea. So the food didn't take long to come out and the food did look good when it came out , for the most part. The side fruit salad was not great. I would not recommend it. Also, the toast came out cold, which was odd. The golf shrimp omelette was great. I got it without cheese. The breakfast potatoes, the ones that were not too crispy, were good and the chicken sausage was exceptional. Overall, I was really excited about coming here because they have a lot of history behind the restaurant, as well as they clearly mark their allergens, but it was a bit underwhelming.

    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

    People made a big deal about the Bermuda Triangle back in the day and as time went on, we realized…read morethat it was kind of fake thing. But one thing that is more true than the Bermuda triangle is the Baton Rouge Bridge Crossing traffic back up. It's like as inevitable and predictable as anything can be and I am getting to enjoy it firsthand today. Always a traffic accident always a lane closure. Now usually I do the farm market Road north of Baton Rouge to avoid it but today I needed to go this way. The I-10/I-12/110 Triangle maybe? And I knew that my first stop would be French Truck location. I wanted coffee for the rest of my trip as I am traveling with my brewing equipment. I sampled their Festin, and their single source, Kenya, and Ethiopia and I decided to get a bag of the Ethiopia because it has that profound blueberry flavor profile that I like in small doses, thinking it was be a perfect coffee to share with my friends in Florida. And now on to lunch at Mestizo. A wonderful staff and ambiance. Great coffee shop music. I will bet that if I waited long enough, Tame Impala would come on the sound system. Lol.

    This stretch along Government has been booming over the last decade and places like French Truck…read moreCoffee have played a key role in the neighborhood's revitalization efforts. Despite not being a big coffee enthusiast, I have come to appreciate all they've brought to the table as a serious coffee destination. As a venue, it's a beautiful spot with a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Their creative use of branding with lots of yellow, distinctive fonts, and merch are displayed throughout the store, becoming a central theme of their decor. Coupled with natural lighting, plenty of seating, good WiFi and a cool display of their brewing process, it's evident they've taken big steps to ensure their venue is one of the least ordinary establishments in the city. They honed their craft in New Orleans and have managed to do the same here. Their New Orleans iced coffee was dark and potent, while their Japanese slow drip aka Oji drip iced coffee was pleasantly delightful. The cafe au lait is classic and a nice rendition compared to the many places that do the same throughout the state. The macchiato, cappuccinos, and americanos also deserve their own mention. Like any quality coffee place, they sell all kinds of different coffee brews by the bag both online and in store. They also sell food as well ranging from breakfast items to salads and sandwiches. Avocado toast seems to be a big hit here, but they have a wide range of open-faced toasts that includes smoked salmon, pimento and prosciutto. I am definitely eyeing their croissant sandwich for future visit. Prices are standard foodflation but I think the coffee and the ambiance will always be the central focus. They have a good amount of people on staff and therefore the waits are never too long. Customer services on point and the bathrooms are very clean. Parking is available in the back and there is limited street parking as well. With locations in Memphis as well as the OG in New Orleans, they should be very proud that they've done well in Baton Rouge.

    Coming from a military (and Law Enforcement) family, and born and raised in San Diego California…read more(unfortunately, but I moved from that state years ago!), I'm no foreigner to Philipino food. Strolled in around 7:00 p.m. I was the only person here except for another gentlemen who actually just walked through the door. Neat little place. Pretty clean from what I can see and kind of off decorum, but in a good way! I walked in and was immediately greeted with my server. Super nice, super sweet and super polite southern gal, like they usually are which is why I stay in the south. That Southern hospitality, ya dig? Anyways she had me pick my table, and then immediately brought me a menu and took my drink order. I gazed over the menu, and by the time she brought my beverage I was ready to order. I WAS going to go for the chicken adobo, but I didn't want rice because it will keep me up tonight because I don't eat a lot of complex carbohydrates. I hope the pancit noodles won't either. I ordered the all meat Pancit. $22. Came with a little bit of beef, chicken, and shrimp. Good size shrimp too! Came out PIPING hot, and flavorful. I made eye contact which whom I'm pretty sure is owner of this place. I smiled, and she said sternly, "Oh hi!" Hahaha! Kind of reminded me of a nice 'soup Nazi' from Seinfeld. I know Sriracha is Vietnamese, but I asked for soy sauce and sriracha, but they don't have any sort of oriental hot sauce and I wasn't about to put red dot on it. So soy sauce it was. I kind of threw my server for a loop, when I asked for chopsticks hahaha!!! It wasn't a super huge portion, but it was perfect for me. I could see how nitpickers would complain, but, no complaints here!
