The 50 best breakfast and brunch in Baton Rouge

This was my first visit, and it was amazing! Everything was delicious from start to finish and our server Hailey was great. If I was staying in town longer I would definitely return! Get the French toast bites, you won’t be disappointed!

We were among the lucky first customers on the Saturday morning we dined here, having waited in the parking lot for the doors to open. We were promptly seated, but from there, the promptness gave way to a surprisingly slow pace. Our server was friendly, kind, and always wore a smile, which we appreciated. However, the overall service was unusually slow—so much so that it left us genuinely puzzled. The restaurant appeared adequately staffed, and there wasn’t much of a crowd, so the delay didn’t seem to have an obvious cause. That said, everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoroughly enjoyable. The food absolutely delivered. Still, the lag in service was the slowest we've experienced in recent memory, and without any clear explanation, it stood out. As visitors from Kansas, we’ve heard that Southern hospitality can have a more relaxed pace, but this caught us off guard. We’d definitely return for the food—but next time, we’ll come prepared for a leisurely experience.

Fantastic Breakfast Spot! Great breakfast place in Baton Rouge! The Benedicts and shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious—flavorful and cooked to perfection. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

The food was delicious! Got the French toast bites to share and they were gone so fast! The breakfast sandwich was classic and the biscuit was fluffy & so good. A great spot for breakfast or brunch! 😊

I took my sister here for the 1st time and the food is absolutely amazing! Our server Hailey was so great in helping us decide on what to choose on the menu. YOU NEED TO TRY THE FRENCH TOAST BITES!!!!! Food so GOOD! We will definitely be frequenting here 😋😋😋

Wow! The service was wonderful as was the food. I had the salmon avocado toast and it was amazing. My husband had the breakfast tacos with chorizo. I would definitely come back here again if we are in town.

Tiana helped was my server and was amazing!! Every time she rounded that corner she was checking to see if I needed anything!! Food was good but the service was even better! 10 outta 10 recommend!!

Food was delicious, especially the beignet bites. Service was slow and we had to wait some time for the beignet bites to arrive. Also no pre-bussing so we crammed the dessert into a full tables of dirty dishes.

I brought my husband for his birthday to start his day with a great meal and he really enjoyed it. It was worth our two hour drive to this restaurant. Trust me we will be back!!! Chance was the best server! Thank you, Chance!

So i came to start my new job up the street and was about two hours early. So to eat we go. Walked in and sat at the bar and was served by Alex. Absolute sweet heart. Great service. Super personable and funny. Another guest showed up at the bar to wait for her friend and she also got the same experience. Also the coworkers have a good relationship as well. 🥹 Food was good and so was my coffee! Food came out so fast! 10/10 recommend.

Our waitress name was Angel and her personality for the time she approached our table was just awesome. She was very knowledgeable of all the items we were interesting and her recommendations were awesome. Great atmosphere and great service.

excellent breakfast place, opens early, good service, I believe my server's name was Cody. The veggie omelet was excellent and sizable, the cheesy grits were tasty, the virgin bloody mary had a slab of bacon and a flag-pole sized crisp celery stalk, very good. And the coffee! it was excellent, some of the best straight coffee I'd had in Baton Rouge. Good stuff! Reasonably priced

Came in town and wanted some shrimp and grits. Family told me try this spot and baybayyy not a single disappointment at all!!!! I will be back every time I come back home. My visit was even better by my great server Stacy! Thanks for the drink recommendation Stacy 🥰

Awesome fall brunch menu, super friendly service by Stacy, even though we came in at 1:30 pm and they close at 2 pm. Excellent all the way around. We always stop here en route to Mandeville, and we’ll recommend to everyone we know. 😊

Was there today for lunch that was a reunion and birthday lunch for an 87 year old friend who traveled from out of state to be with family and friends. I’ve eaten here many times and the food and atmosphere were great as usual, but the server was kind and very attentive. When former Louisiana residents come home they always want to eat at the best places and I was was delighted to introduce her to BB Willow Grove! Over the years I’ve probably eaten nearly everything on the menu. This time I had the tomato basil soup and the seared tuna appetizer. Yum! I think that’s the best tomato basil soup in town!

Went here today for lunch and it was a pleasant experience. Service was good, priced reasonably with good portions and overall good experience. Ordered the shrimp and grits, chicken avocado but and hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was good 👍🏽 my only complaint is that the grits weren't hot and we asked for no tomato on the blt, but it still came out with tomatoes on it. Other than that, everything was nice!

I ordered the Pot Roast Creole today to go because I was pressing for time. I was craving this for 3 days. Of course, the food was amazing and did not disappoint! This dish consists of tender pot roast, garlic mashed potatoes with Creole gravy, and fresh green beans. The meat bursts with juice and so much flavor. Every dish cooked to perfection. Might I add, they have the best carrot souffle in town. Hands down! I have to have a side, every time! I also would recommend their Debris Blue Cheese Chips! OMG!

Great lunch spot. Tried the blue cheese chips and fried French Dip. Both were excellent!

Consistently good food! Love this place and their salads are amazing. Tuna and/or blackened shrimp are regulars. Great place to chill out after work. Good vibe, clean, friendly staff, awesome bar, convenient location. Highly recommend!

You have to try the salmon. It was cooked to perfection. I ordered it with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. Both of the sides were also cooked exceptionally well. The bleu Mac and cheese was too bleu cheesy so I didn’t like it, but that’s a personal preference. We also got drinks off the happy hour menu and they were delicious. The server was really attentive and when we went we were able to have the whole restaurant to ourselves because it was after the lunch rush. The salmon alone is worth the visit.

First time here, my husband and I enjoyed it. The salmon was so flavorful, right along with the veggies that came with it. My husband has the back of house chicken and he enjoyed it. Their drinks are on point and the chips and cheese are good. Everything was hot and came out quickly

I visited Louise’s based on the positive reviews on Google. While the restaurant itself has an old school atmosphere and wasn’t particularly busy during our visit, the wait time for food was unexpectedly long. Unfortunately, that lack of efficiency really overshadowed the experience. I wouldn’t recommend this place to others, simply because of how long everything took. It’s a pass for me—more of a place to avoid than suggest. The whole experience felt like a 3-star visit.

This is basically a Baton Rouge version of Waffle House on LSU’s campus. We visited on game day, so there was about a 30 minute wait. I ordered the combo #1. This combo included two eggs, a sausage patty, hash-browns, and I ordered French toast for a up-charge. This restaurant has a simple concept, but everything was very good.

Louie's Café has been a cherished tradition for me over the years, and it continues to impress with every visit. This time, I indulged in their brunch special—Eggs Breaux Bridge. This dish features a savory grits cake topped with andouille sausage, crawfish, and shrimp, all smothered in a rich shrimp and corn cream sauce. The combination was nothing short of delicious.([\[225\]][1]) My companions also savored their meals, with standout choices like the Eggs Louisianne—poached eggs on English muffins with shrimp, crawfish, and onions, finished with a spicy, buttery herb cream sauce. The flavors were bold and satisfying.([\[225\]][1]) The service was attentive and friendly, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciated the newer location on Lake Street, which offers more seating and convenient parking, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, Louie's Café remains a must-visit spot in Baton Rouge. It consistently delivers quality food, great service, and a nostalgic atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

What a hidden gem! Louie’s Cafe completely restored my faith that there was good food to be found on my vacation. The service was excellent — Tom, my server, was amazing and really made me feel welcome. The food was perfect homemade fare, from the delicious cubed hash browns with sautéed onions, to the thick, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, and a fluffy short stack of pancakes. Even the coffee was the best I had during my whole week in Louisiana. Highly recommend this place — it’s exactly what a great local diner should be!

It's a great place with great food. I would definitely recommend. I had their pancakes (awesome) an Omelette (awesome) Shrimp and grits (freaking awesome) Patty melt with a huge amount of crispy cheese hanging on the side of it. (Rediculously awesome). The only negatives is the wait to be seated because they are busy, a little cramped for seating because they're busy. And the exit ot parking will scrap the bottom of your vehicle if it is low to the ground. I would still recommend easily.

This place was amazing. They were packed but got you on fairly quickly. The service was very friendly. The food was great. The prices were fair. The atmosphere was pleasant. Would recommend for a quick bite.

I have been eating at Louie's since the early 2000s. Now that im older and moved back it's one of my favorite spots. Biscuits are always fluffy and so good, hash browns with seasoning and onions and peppers are probably my favorite thing their!!! Add a side of Bacon and it's definitely a win. Service is always great and food comes out really quick. 😋

Came here for a night cap drink but ended up have a host of plates. Over performed for sure. The crab cakes were the best plate we tried, with real seafood. The burger slapped as well. The patty was great chuck.

I celebrated my birthday dinner here with friends in 2023, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Valet parking made arrival easy, and the ambiance set the tone for a classy night out. The food was absolutely amazing — flavorful, beautifully presented, and well worth the visit. What stood out even more was the building’s architecture. The original design and elevators have been preserved, giving the space a unique charm that blends history with elegance. Overall: 5/5. Highly recommend for a sophisticated evening in downtown Baton Rouge.

Surprisingly good food. Gumbo was the best. Staff attentive and friendly. Clean, quiet area for a nice relaxing meal. Nice choices for breakfast including a fresh berry option instead of mixed fruit which is so often chunks of under-ripe melon.

Everything was truly exceptional. Easily the best steak that I've had in Baton Rouge. Atmosphere is great and service is impeccable.

What a great place. Spent a week in Baton Rouge dropped in for late night snack, came back for breakfast and then for dinner. Wow. Flavorful food, executed perfectly. Our server -Jonathan - was a treasure.

One of the most unforgettable dining experiences in Baton Rouge! From the warm welcome to the impeccable service.The food is an absolute flavor immersion.

Halfway decent food but the atmosphere isn’t worthy of it. I'm not even going to dive into the food really because it's irrelevant to how awful the atmosphere and service here is. Honestly, I had a feeling this was going to be a waste of time the second we walked in and drunk idiots were standing and shouting at the top of their lungs at the adjacent bar without being checked by the hotel or restaurant staff. I was right. We arrived at 4:50 for 5:00 reservations. The host table wasn't staffed until ~5 minutes after our reservation so we weren't seated until after our reservation time. He looked bothered that we were there and was not welcoming at all. We only received food menus with no drink menus. Our server asked if we wanted something other than water, but we advised we didn't receive a drink menu so we didn't know. He brought us a tablet with a drink menu on it only after asking and warned that they didn't have everything on the menu without going into specifics. How lovely. We were seated facing the hotel entrance so there were people standing around our table, taking pictures, and having loud conversations. A “date night” place this is not although that’s what it sells itself as. Do not be fooled; it’s an average but extremely overpriced restaurant in the middle of a busy hotel lobby. Seriously, it’s a small seating area cordoned off by stanchions and velvet ropes from the rest of the lobby. It’s not a separate area or anything, so people are coming in with music playing on their phones, loud luggage rolling on the floor, etc. Just terrible. To boot, this was booked as a birthday dinner for my wife and there wasn’t a *single* mention of it from the host or server at any point. I couldn’t have been more disappointed in that. Something so basic just overlooked I suppose. No restaurant worth its salt would ever let that happen. But it’s why we will never return and why I will never recommend this place to anyone for a special event. Ambience here is way, way off and there are better restaurants nearby that do it right. We walked out of here having spent $200+ including tip on 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, a dessert, and 3 drinks and we were happier to be leaving than we were to be there. Don't say you weren't warned.

The shrimp corn dogs were really good! A great appetizer to share with 4 people. The shrimp and grits were also good if you don't mind a savory style of grits. The burger was okay, nothing to brag about. Chicken and waffles had a good flavor and was a crowd favorite. The ambiance/ atmosphere did not match the style of the food. When walking in it seems like a restaurant where you could dress up a bit but the food was giving dress down. Our server was great and catered to our every need. We did get some slight frozen tater tots and sent those back. Other than that, SoLou was a cute eatery but the food could have been better.

In town for a dance convention so I googled places to eat and SoLou came up as a top place so we decided to give it a try for Sunday brunch. It did not disappoint. It was packed when we got there. Hostess said there was a 30 min wait but we got seated in less than 15. Waitress was super nice. She recommended the LouBerry and margarita drink. We enjoyed them. Also we had the crabmeat cheesecake and hot crawfish dip and they both were delicious. For dessert, we had the bread pudding. All of it was 10/10. Also, they serve pork rinds complimentary while you wait on your food. Seemed like everyone was celebrating a birthday that day so I know the staff sung Happy Birthday at least 10 times while we were there, but they all did it with a smile! Even the manager was singing right along with them. She even came by checking on us a couple of times. Great atmosphere and good fresh food. Will def go back.

Unimpressed with my visit and food unfortunately. Really would give 3.5 stars. We had a party of 7 with a reservation at 1:15pm. I called them saying we were running a few mins late and was told that was fine and we would get seated once we got there. We arrived and waited almost 45 minutes before being seated! What’s the purpose of a reservation if we still have to wait?! The ambiance was good bo complaints there. Busy for Sunday brunch. The food left us feeling underwhelmed. The shrimp corn dogs tasted like they were right out of the freezer. The cauliflower was decent. The crawfish scramble was decent but literally had no seasoning, had to add salt n pepper. Just really disappointed because I came in with high hopes.

We’re in town for bowling and found this great spot by chance. Fantastic spicy gumbo and sweet crab and corn chowder! The truffle Mac and Cheese was delicious and creamy and everything was piping hot! I didn’t get our bartenders name but he was super attentive and made delicious cocktails. Wasn’t very busy when we arrived but was full by the time we left. Great atmosphere, music was just right.

We had a fantastic time at SoLou! Our server Haven was so friendly and helpful. The smoked old fashioned was one of the best I’ve had in town. The crab and brie grilled cheese was so savory and the salmon dish hit all the right flavor notes. We topped off the evening with a table side s’mores set up. Definitely worth every penny!

My group visited SoLou Baton Rouge on a Sunday for brunch. Our waiter was fantastic and the food was delicious! I feel like their prices are pretty good and the atmosphere was great! The patio is nice but everyone would benefit from more air circulation. I would suggest SoLou to anyone! 5 Stars!

Ordered through doordash for delivery. Tried the appetizer cauliflower. It was delicious. The Thai sauce & spicy mayo give it a great kick & burst of flavor. Its a large quantity. I was happy with the sauces on the side so it wasn't mushy by the time it reached me. Appreciate that. The side mashed potatoes were decent. The cheddar tater tots were okay. The broccolini was very salty for me. It came with cotton candy & pork chips. They give complimentary cotton candy if you aren't ordering dessert already. Food was clean & tasty. Would definitely dine in and try other entrees. One thing to note is doordash increases the price of each item by a few dollars. Check out the real prices on their website. Another note for doordash is inaccurate description of the items. Ordered a sensation salad-description read tomato, red onion, cucumber, etc. The sensation salad was only lettuce & almonds. It was good but only 2 ingredients & the dressing was thicker then a vinaigrette. Loved the creole cheesecake! Fun dessert. The crunchy aspect was a great surprise. Had caramel, chocolate, raspberry.

Thank you from the bottom of my stomach, Franks on Airline! My breakfast was absolutely amazing. My waitress, Erica, was so sweet and kind, and my order came out perfect. I’m usually a chicken fried steak girl, but thanks to Destiny’s suggestion, I switched it up today and tried the hamburger steak with grilled onions and brown gravy—delicious! I had my eggs slightly scrambled with a side of grits and buttered toast. Talk about lick-your-chops good! I appreciate those cooks as well! Franks on Airline Baton Rouge never disappoints, and I’ll definitely be back.

I have never been here but Google keeps insisting that I leave a review. The food that I never ate was the best I've never eaten. The service I didn't receive was superior to and service I've never had before. The atmosphere was much more atmospheric than any atmosphere that I've never atmosphered.

Food was excellent and highly recommended if you have never tried this restaurant. Definitely a busy establishment with so many people having breakfast. I will say knowing that the wait for the food is worth it especially getting my food hot and made to order vs something that has been sitting around. Will definitely be back and try other items on the menu as this place has a lot to offer.

Many years ago I worked near Frank’s Restaurant-Baton Rouge, and ate lunch there almost every day. This morning I had the opportunity to eat there again and it is as good as I remember. The atmosphere is great, old school and classic. The service is always excellent and the food is really great. It’s a real treat to breakfast or dinner here.

After hearing several positive recommendations, decided to give Frank’s Restaurant a try. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t quite live up to the hype. Ordered the Louisiana Jambalaya Omelet with biscuits but was disappointed with the execution. The omelet was overcooked, and the eggs tasted less than fresh, which made the dish unappetizing. The biscuits were hard and dry, only managed a single bite before setting them aside. Perhaps, I just didn’t order the right item, but overall the meal fell short of expectations. That said, I do want to acknowledge the friendly service from the staff, which was a positive note. While I appreciate the warm atmosphere, not sure I’d return based on this experience alone.

I was in Baton Rouge for the USBC Open Championships, and Aurora at Pastime Restaurant recommended Frank's for breakfast. I had the pancakes, which our good, but if you want a lighter feel, go with the French Toast. The eggs, meat, and potatoes will bring you back for more. Rachael, Amanda, and the staff will treat you like they know you! There was a crowd both mornings, so we ate at the counter, and waited briefly when we ate at a table.

Frank’s Restaurant is a gem of culinary delight. With each visit, I am consistently impressed by the exceptional quality of their food. Prepared to order with care, every dish bursts with flavor and freshness, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The warmth and hospitality of the staff further elevate the ambiance, as their genuine smiles and welcoming demeanor make each guest feel like family. Nestled in a quaint country setting, the restaurant exudes charm, creating the perfect backdrop for indulging in delicious meals with loved ones. Moreover, their commitment to supporting local businesses is commendable, reflected in the array of carefully curated products available for purchase. Whether it's a hearty breakfast or a satisfying lunch, Frank’s Restaurant surpasses expectations and emerges as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking culinary excellence in the area.

Really loved the food here – the vegetarian options were insanely good. Anne Louise was our server and she was super sweet. You’ve gotta try the jackfruit dish and the lasagna – delicious. The presentation was on point too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hands-down the best ribeye we’ve ever had! Cocha absolutely blew us away. My husband and I stopped in for dinner and ordered the ribeye steaks with leek purée, mushrooms, and asparagus—and let me tell you, we’re still talking about it! Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. That leek purée deserves its own fan club. We got the yellowfin tuna & rice as an app and it was spicy and delicious! The service was just as incredible as the food. Jess was our server and she was phenomenal—warm, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She made the entire experience even better. We sat out front, which was such a cozy and relaxing spot. The vibe was peaceful and inviting, and since we were staying within walking distance, we got to enjoy a lovely stroll to and from the restaurant. The cocktails? Also a 10/10. Cocha is the whole package: food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. If you’re in Baton Rouge, this place is a must. Five stars all the way! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We went for brunch and it was wonderful. We sat outside because it was a nice day, they had live music inside that they were piping to the outdoor seating. Our waitress was very well informed and also patient as we tried to narrow down the menu. I was very happy with my decision but will be back soon to try more of their creations!

Gorgeous space, interesting menu choices, stellar service. We went for brunch on a Saturday around 11:30 and there was no wait, only maybe three other tables were sat. I got a Thai julep that was bright and refreshing, my partner got some sour beer on draft that he liked. I got the Japanese patatas bravas, everything about the dish was incredible but the brisket was waaaay overcooked. It was dry like jerky, which was disappointing. The potatoes and egg and kewpie mayo more than made up for that, though. My partner got the pork belly sliders and THOSE were absolute perfection. Phenomenal bite. We would definitely go back for dinner or a weekday lunch.

One of the best restaurants in Baton Rouge hands down. Not only is their food and atmosphere great, their employees are fantastic like the owners. I had my rehearsal dinner there in the back room and all my family loved it. The food was amazing along with the friendly and laid back atmosphere. They made it so easy to reserve for my party size and the service was amazing!

Stopped in for dinner....didn't know it was wine tasting event night but they found us a table in the back. Dinner was excellent but it was a bit pricey (to be fair, I ordered a rib-eye steak - an off-menu offering). Cocktails are also a bit spendy but, to be fair, were very well done. Shout out to Bert for putting up with us out-of-towners!

The restaurant is really cool and has great food, but I have given service 4 stars since it took about 2 hours to get our main entree last Friday! The oven went out and place was slammed. Also, we ordered steaks as a special. They were great; however, my 5oz filet was $40 and my husband’s 15 oz ribeye was an eye popping $75! I think the waiter should have warned us as it wasn’t written on the menu. Just sayin’.

They don’t take 100 if you use in cash and it’s very busy around 12 o’clock Saturday Sunday because that’s when normally everybody comes out to eat. The pancake soaks in the syrup, making it more like a bread cake everything is cooked. Very fresh made to order. Bacon was good. They also sell art by local artists updating it every couple months or so, depending on when the art comes in. They also have three different kinds of coffee such as Creole and decaf and Simatra. They also have iced tea, sweet tea, and water if you want it. food overall 4.5/5 service overall 4.9/5 Atmosphere 4.8/5 overall 4.8/5 they even have seating outside if you can’t sit inside. They even have cool designs designs on the table like Star Wars, cars, monster trucks, New York, and LSU.

The food was amazing. The grits are the best I have had in quite awhile. I ordered scrambled eggs and whatever the seasoning was it was delicious. Definitely will visit again and order the w Exact same thing

This place is very popular with the locals which is exactly what you want in a good breakfast place. Its counter serve and there is a healthy line. It seemed like tables cleared as new people checked out though so there was a place to sit if you wanted it. I had the biscuits and gravy which were fantastic. I also got a croissant breakfast sandwich. I ended up saving that and reheating the next morning. It was very good too!

When we left The Queen, it’s was 7:30AM. We were both hungry for breakfast, but not interested in Waffle House, so I did a quik search of the area and opted for the Simple Joe Cafe. They have a self-serving counter, where you stand in line, give your order, pay, get a number for your table, fix your drink, and find a place to sit. They weren’t extremely busy so we got a table with no problem. I loved the energy in this place. It felt very friendly and had a close-nit neighborhood vibe. I can tell they have a lot of regulars. The only things I can really complain about are 1. It was pricier than what I expected, but everything is nowadays. 2. The young gentleman who rang us up seemed a little rude and I really didn’t care for his attitude. He didn’t say anything wrong, he just didn’t make us feel welcomed. He definitely didn’t match the vibe in this place because he wasn’t friendly at all. Compared to the rest of the experience, he stuck out like a sore thumb. As for the food, I got the two egg scrambled breakfast with grits, bacon, and French toast. The eggs and grits were amazing but I didn’t care for the French toast at all!! This is the first time I’ve had grits at a restaurant that makes them the same as I do, using milk and real butter. They were cooked to perfection…they were soooo good! We both agreed to stop here again the next time we’re in the area. Though I’d usually give 3 stars, especially bc of the unwelcoming attitude I received, everything else made up for that so I added an extra one.

Great little diner. Was travelling through and this was a perfect stop. Great biscuits and gravy. Great pancakes. Worth the diversion off the hwy.

i been coming here for years, and lately, the place is becoming disappointing. the food is very bland nowadays, and the customer service is not great. no longer feels like a welcoming atmosphere. fast fwd to today, i got my usual (shrimp and grits) to go. i almost finish my food and i find plastic wrap in my food. i thought it was a bell pepper or onion, but nope. a long strip of plastic. i’m disgusted. i feel sick, and now my stomach hurts. probably won’t come back. they refunded me, but this just made me feel sick.

Simple Joe Cafe is a cozy and welcoming café offering a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes and quality coffee. The relaxed atmosphere and friendly service make it perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a casual meet-up with friends. A reliable spot for good food and a comfortable vibe.

Ate dinner here late on a Friday evening. The restaurant wasn't too busy but there was a decent crowd. I got the soup and salad. The shrimp and corn soup was excellent. They have a pretty lengthy beer menu. You are sure to find something you like. Have been coming here for many years and we'll continue to do so.

Located just steps from the LSU campus, The Chimes is one of Baton Rouge’s most beloved local institutions—a place where the warmth of Southern hospitality meets the energy of a college-town bar. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, with a long polished bar lined with dozens of beer taps and shelves of whiskey, a few televisions tuned to sports, and the friendly bustle of students and locals alike. It’s the kind of place that feels welcoming at any hour, whether for brunch, a casual dinner, or a late-night drink after a game. The food at The Chimes reflects Louisiana’s comfort-driven culinary spirit. The plate pictured, crawfish omelet with creamy grits and a warm biscuit, captures exactly what the restaurant does best: hearty, unfussy dishes made with care and a touch of local flavor. The portions are generous, the presentation simple but appealing, and the flavors unmistakably Southern. Combined with the friendly service and rustic wooden surroundings, it’s easy to see why this spot has earned such loyal regulars over the years. Highly recommended!

Great food and selection Leans toward brewery food with a cajun twist fish gumbo was excellent so we're fried catfish and shrimp shrimp and grits... the star was the sauce and fried grit ball!! located steps from LSU campus This location would be packed crowded during school and football season! Interior nothing special except the cavernous seating!! help servers were top notch!!

Kevin was our waiter on the rooftop deck for dinner. We had a group of 7 from Boston who never ate Louisiana fare before, so Kevin brought us samples and we were able to place a few orders of appetizers and get meals to share and everyone loved it! He made this a great experience for us and we appreciate that. The food was just as good as the service.

The Chimes was one of the places that was recommended to me by locals. The service was great. Oscar made me the perfect long Island tea. He also recommended the shrimp po boy with spicy mayonnaise. It was delicious. I would definitely recommend The Chives to anyone visiting Baton Rouge. Love the atmosphere, too.

Great food and even better service! It was our first time at The Chimes, and our waiter Daniel was incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful. He took the time to explain the menu and gave us excellent recommendations! Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend this spot, and if you get Daniel as your server, you’re in great hands!

We had an incredible dining experience at The Chimes that deserves more than just five stars! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and filled with that Southern charm Baton Rouge is known for. What truly elevated our night, though, was our server, **Ezra**. He was *over the top excellent*—attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure our table never went without. As for the food—absolutely amazing. Every dish we tried was full of bold, authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. From the seafood to the signature dishes, everything was fresh and beautifully presented. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Chimes is a must-visit. Great vibes, outstanding food, and service that goes above and beyond. Ask for Ezra—you won't be disappointed!

My grandmother used to bring me here as a kid and I always loved it. I returned with my wife and daughter for a little dose of nostalgia. Definitely not disappointed. Same charm and quality from when I was a kid. Definitely my go to stop in Baton Rouge for beignet's and ice coffee.

Such a delightful café with French-style pastries called beignets — they’re absolutely heavenly! You can easily spend the whole day here; it’s a perfect spot for freelancers, collaborations, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee. The vibe is cozy and inspiring, and the beignets are out of this world. Plus, it’s open until 10 p.m. — such a lovely place to spend an evening here in Louisiana ✨

Coffee Call was so good, I found myself back the very next morning! What started as a quick stop for a classic beignet and café au lait turned into a full-on food experience. During my first visit, I ended up trying the turkey po’ boy and a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup—and I’m so glad I did. A kind server walked me through the steps of building my perfect po’ boy, which made the experience feel extra personalized. After that, I joined the line to place an order for the beignets, and let me tell you—they were pillowy, warm, and just the right amount of sweet. They were so good, I came back the next morning to grab another batch to take home! The overall vibe at Coffee Call is relaxed and inviting. The pace is calm, and every staff member I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, don’t hesitate to give this place a try. It’s a Baton Rouge staple for a reason!

Like the beignet here. But some recently visiting made me disappointed. I bought a chilli soup and I just want a bowl to heat it up. The cashier lady Linsey (I dont know name spell correct or not) tell me to wait for her to finish customer line (long line) behind me, then she will get me a bowl. This is not the first time she did it to me. Why she couldn't grab a bowl for me immeadiatly? Is is because I'm an Asian? Complained to supervisor and have the answer that they are busing so that they cant get a bowl. I have to ask another girl to get me that bowl. No respect, no come back

This is one of my favorite places in the world. When last I lived in Baton Rouge, Coffee Call was in the same shopping center where the Wal Mart is now. Obviously not that large, but it was larger. This site retains the style and charm of the older shop. Fresh coffee, beignets, hot chocolate, beignets -- the menu is longer than that, but without the tortuous specificity of that place with the evil mermaid. You go here for a good cup of coffee and a conversation with friends, or to read a good book, or work a crossword puzzle in the paper. There is no place like it in the world and I feel happier just knowing it exists. You should spend some time there, really. You'll be happier if you do.

We wanted coffee on our way oit of Baton Rouge so we stopped here. It seems like a nice local coffee shop. Everyone was nice. We had 2 coffees and 2 orders of beignets. The bignets are a nice size. They were making them as we waited.

WiFi Password: ilovecoffee Chill place to study. Can be bustling depending on who’s here. I like it. Casual, laid back, cozy.

Best BBQ in Louisiana! The crawfish queso was so good, and they serve it with homemade pork skins to scoop it up with, as well as home made crispy fried chips. This place was amazing! Highly recommend if you're driving anywhere near Baton Rouge you stop and give this place a try.

I finally got a chance to eat here and i enjoyed it. The waiter and staff were kind and courteous. The food was seasoned just right, we ordered the blue cheese bib & steak and the brisket burger. Although I enjoyed my salad, I have been craving that brisket burger it was so good I almost tip the cook. The atmosphere was amazing, relaxing, clean environment, they greet you when you enter, say bye when you leave, everyone was smiling and no long faces. I was on a date so this was the right place for it, it can also be a spot to just have time to yourself or me time as I call it. Would I recommend this restaurant YES INDEED.

It was the evening that we were leaving our son at college and we were breaking down crying. Our waitress was amazing. She brought out their best dessert right on time to try and make everyone feel better. This is our second time there and not only is the food and dessert delicious, the service is impeccable.

Had an excellent experience here. Started with the Pork Debris Spring Rolls. So good. Then ordered the City Pork BBQ Platter for the entree. SO much food. Delicious. Didn't eat it all. Leftovers for several days. Would order again. We will definitely come back and try some of the sandwiches next time. Great service and atmosphere here. The music was also good. The Grateful Dead was playing when I walked in.

Sever was amazing, made a small change on my breakfast, not a problem. Food was delicious and a good cup of coffee. The lights were cool too.

Relaxing atmosphere but classy in a sense. Food was great from the appetizers all the way through the desserts and drinks! Service was super friendly and attentive. Great to bring the family out after work and enjoy a meal together! We will be back! Go check them out 🔥

Had lunch here with family. Food was great! I had the wild boar chile rellano. The staff was so excited about their perfectly cooked egg on top. It was fun. Had the bacon old fashioned - which to be honest - is pretty gimmicky - and I don't care because I got a piece of bacon. The drink was fine otherwise. We had some house chips on the table with some sort of dip that was great too (sorry dont remember the details). Would love to come back another time.

Shoutout Josh for making the world's most delicious "honey nut Cheerios" matcha! Made with oat milk, I'd petition for this to be a permanent menu item. It's nice to visit BR and be met with deliciously inventive drinks such as this. The space is beautiful, sunny and comfortable/spacious for remote workers or friends catching up alike.

When people think of coffee shops in BR, they may think Highland or Garden District. Ever since I helped manage Frankie’s Dawg House, before Stuart sold it, I used to go into Magpie daily for the cold brew. I haven’t been to this place for 8 years. They always have the most attentive and interested workers. The best baked goods. Magpie is amazing still, after all of these years! The tomato + herb goat cheese frittata was amazing. As well as the blueberry almond stitch!!

This was mine and my fiance's first time here. We have been to just about every local coffee shop in Baton Rouge and this one is easily one of the best in town!! Ellen and Karli were so pleasant to talk to, very helpful with suggestions, and definitely were a big part of why our first time here was so amazing! I can't speak on the food, but the food all looked like it was amazing and the dietary options were extremely inclusive! Will definitely be coming back!

I couldn’t really taste the vanilla in my latte, it was really bitter. But, great service and atmosphere. I will be back and try something different from the menu. Hopefully it will be better than what I had today.

A friend and I enjoyed a drip coffee and a latte. She got a vegan breakfast sandwich and loved it! We will be back. Plenty of places for LSU students to study. Indoor and some outdoor seating.

I love this place! They have amazing coffee and delicious homemade pop tarts. Fabulous baristas who know exactly what they’re doing. The new renovation is lovely too. Magpie is my happy place.

Stopped here on the way out of town and OMG the vegan breakfast sandwich is the best. I’ve ever had even my dad, who usually hates anything vegan said it was super tasty. I also got the superfood latte which was 10/10. It was a bit busy when I went (around 10 am on a Saturday so to be expected), if I could go again I would go earlier in the morning to avoid the crowds. Wish I lived in Baton Rouge, I’d be here every weekend!

Swung by for dinner after a day out with friends and even though we arrived in groups, our servers were kind and waited for us to get ourselves situated. We got our food fairly quickly and it was perfect

I’m not from this area but if you know this man on the grill tell him he’s a great cook. His food was amazing and the lady that took our order had a great personality and was polite! Great job guys

I love Waffle House, and this location is done really well. The food was just what you'd expect—delicious and cooked right in front of you. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Quick service, clean environment, and that classic Waffle House charm. Definitely one of the better locations I’ve visited. Would happily stop here again anytime!

Nice concept for the chain. Not very clean looking once inside. Watch out they automatically put cheese in grits! I didn’t approve that! Service was great. A good cleaning and a smell check place would be top notch.

This place has horrible service. Place was packed and the server said it would be a while. Sat at table for 30 minutes, bused the table for them, and she couldn't even take our drink order. Someone needs some training in their customer service skills. Got up and went across the street to the Melty and got immediate service. Definitely don't go to the this place if there is more than one car in the parking lot. What a freaking joke this place was, I thought California was bad but this place takes first place.

We are traveling here from Kansas City! The food was delicious, inexpensive and the waitresses were so friendly!!! My 11 year old said “That’s the best service I’ve ever gotten at a restaurant!”

The all-star breakfast was awesome and of course I had to get hashbrowns all the way except gravy cause Bert's Chili is so great, this Waffle House location is now my #1 favorite ! Friendly atmosphere and the staff are so courteous here.

The place was clean and in order. Although we got there not long after a power outage, we were the only ones in the building. The entire time we were there, we ate alone. Very strange. The food was great! I had red beans and rice with the roasted corn and jalapeños. My wife had the bbq burger with a salad and our baby had spaghetti and mac n cheese. The quality was very good and the portions were large. Our server was very friendly. The staff wasn't busy so they played with our son who engaged them in return. I would return and recommend it to anyone.

We loved the place unfortunately they have removed the items we loved such as shrimp poboy, smothered chicken, fried green tomatoes, white beans and more its a totally different menu. We ordered items from new menu but they lack flavor nobody finished their food the onion rings look crispy but were soft. The green beans taste freshout the can i love the energy our waitress was great but food 2/10

Laid back vibe. Friendly customer service. Food did not take long. Chilled at the bar. I ordered shrimp/grits and hash puppies. It was great. My son ordered the breakfast bowl with a side of pancakes. He said everything was good and fresh. Will definitely visit again.

Cute place, but the wait and super slow service is a problem. They need either more staff or faster cooks no coffee refills or even spoons to stir. It seems rudderless with no one checking progress or telling patrons what is the delay. Staff is not truly engaging with patrons they avoid eye contact at all costs. Much improvement is needed to take this cute place to next level.

Tried this precious little gem while staycationing in BR for brunch. We saw the photos of the previous reviews but specifically the affordable prices brought us in. The food was fabulous and service was on point. If i could give one request it would be to bring back the chicken and waffles.

Teagan was our waiter and she was such a vibe! The drinks were on point, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was a blast. Can’t wait to come back!

This is my Wife and I new after church spot for brunch. You never be disappointed with this place. Prices are not overpriced, especially in this economy. Service is always great. The young hostess always compliments my wife’s outfit. Everyone is always jovial and friendly.

Super friendly staff! The most amazing kolaches I've ever had! The club sandwich is also a must, HUGE portion so beautiful hungry! I highly recommend!!

If you're going to Baton Rouge or passing through you've gotta stop here! Breakfast was mouth watering. They had amazing spicy sausage & cheese kolaches and steak tacos were delicious with their spicy and sweet sauce 😋! Amazing 😍 cinnamon rolls were fresh and perfect!

Amazing food, amazing service, and an amazing spot! The food was savory, flavorful, and unique, with great quality at an affordable price. The presentation was excellent, and I definitely recommend trying it out. The owner was very kind and helpful, which made the service outstanding.

Casual restaurant with delicious breakfast tacos and the best cinnamon roll in Baton Rouge! I also sampled a bacon kolache and a sausage kolache … delish! Atmosphere is only 4 instead of a 5 because I reserve 5 for higher end rather than casual dining.

Ok, wow. Hidden gem. I ordered on doordash only craving breakfast at work using the explorer dashpass. Saw the lunch tacos and thought it looked like a perfect on the go lunch. I got a kolache because of the reviews here, I got bacon instead of sausage that I ordered even though the bag said sausage. but I am amazed. It was early, and I didn’t try the tacos until dinner, and they tasted freshly made still. The steak tacos really are THAT good! I used to pass by this place everyday and thought it was a run of the mill kolache place. I was wrong! Everything is so good! Even the chocolate milk I childlishly enjoy. Definitely will be my new spot.

My go to place for a breakfast plate now. A lot of these other cafes in the area aren’t nearly as good. Eggs were perfect (everywhere else has been so disappointing) and the portion size was enough to feed me twice.

Met my son for lunch and he wanted to try a place he heard about. None of us had ever eaten there but the menu made it hard to pick just a meal. The pics looked just like the food we received. My club was great we also got scrambled eggs and a brisket po boy. Staff were very helpful. Will definitely return when we make it back to BR. Thanks again for the great meal Bucky.

They have a nice variety or options, which makes it great for a small group. The service was slow and the staff seemed confused as to what needed to be prepared and what was already prepared, which made the wait time long. The food was average. The potatoes in my vegetable soup walked a fine line between raw and al dente. The restaurant was extremely tidy and clean, as usually. The pastry case was emaculate.

Update- On my recent visit, the staff was welcoming and very friendly. Service was great and the dining room looked fresh and clean. Long time favorite… good traditional French breakfast, onion soup and coffee. Cafe could use an upgrade and some updating. Service is average, but do enjoy the food.

Horrible wish I had read the reviews before ordering made a substitution on my order at the cost of $31.00. Substitute not something we eat and the pastry was not fresh citron tart and chocolate tarts which is chocolate pudding crust was hard and stale. Ordered large fruit tart. Called left on hold for 21 minutes just gave up On waiting for supervisor. Recommend you should not make choices for customers refund or contact. In these economic times no one has money to spend on unwanted items or food they are paying for. Never again , reviews were read after and seems it is common and recent post not favorable. I am so upset because the dessert was an anticipated choice. Do better with customers preference and their hard earned money. Ordered fruit tart DO NOT make choices with out customer approval.

I had originally visited sometime in April. I'd been driving by around lunchtime and noticed it seemed kinda cozy, as well I had gone to one in my youth due to a French class. From there, I turned into the parking lot of the strip mall. (Plenty of parking, and there's also takeout.) I was curious as to whether or not they had any savory crêpes, so I looked up the menu online and found one under Chicken la Madeleine and went inside. It's very comfortable, to the point I wanted to just relax and read by the fireplace they had (didn't emit heat, so not sure if that feature works). They even had assortments of desserts! (From what I saw, they even do catering.) It seemed a bit slow, and everyone was pretty nice. I ordered my crêpe with a side of mashed potatoes. It was pretty good. The potatoes were a tad sweet, interestingly enough. It was nice enough to visit again with a friend last month. (We sat outside.) Had the mushroom soup (creamy, though it seemed to taste like it had the same base as the potato soup my friend ordered), half a quiche, and some salad for a pretty good price. Recommend it!

Excellent quiche! Tomato and Basil 🌿 soup was very flavorful. My first time there but …. Definitely not my last.

I had a door dash order and one of the items they no longer sold so they called me and ask if I wanted something different I told them yes . They literally gave me extra and apologize for the inconvenience and even wrote a little not on the box . I’m pregnant and this literally made my night , love the pastries and desserts from this store so so fresh and perfectly made

Took my nieces out to lunch here. Their first visit. It was so good. The chicken salad was off the hook. Potato Soup, amazing as always.

The atmosphere is nice. Sometimes, the chatter in the bar area can get kind of loud and chatty, but we sat at one of the back tables, which decreased it some. For the appetizer, we had the lamb lollipops, which were delicious. Entrees were the burger Marriott and the seared scallops. The burger was tasty, and the fries were good. The scallops could've had a touch longer for searing. The risotto was delicious. A great dish in all. The pecan pie was exactly like I like it - more filling than pecans on top. The pecans tasted like they had been roasted, but some had more of a charred taste. All in all, a great dining experience. Would return.

I had an amazing experience at Tallulah Crafted Food and Wine Bar on Monday while staying at the hotel. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and skilled. The drink they made was absolutely delicious, and the extra touch of offering me a bottle of water to take back to my room after I paid the check was greatly appreciated. The food was outstanding as well — the Red Fish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the Hummus was some of the best I’ve had. Hands down one of the best hotel restaurants I’ve visited so far. Highly recommend! EDT: Came back Today for Lamb Lollipops and they were delicious. Different bartenders, but equally amazing service. + awesome Live music most days. Thank You!

The waiter was attentive, the atmosphere was amazing and not too loud. The food was a 5/10. I had the Lollipop Lamb Chops and they were TOUGH. They did not give me a steak knife but they gave me a butter knife which was hard given the lamb chops being really tough. The mash potatoes had great flavoring, I just wish they were creamier. My friend also had the “small plate” wings and they had a bunch of brown sugar on them, they were a bit too sweet.

I've heard great things about this place from friends and was really looking forward to sampling their dishes. Decided to go for restaurant week and was really disappointed in the options on the RW menu. I'm going to give them a second chance to impress as the menu was not based on regular items. I will update my review once I've been back. Fingers crossed.

Just wow! Excellent service, excellent food, beautifully decorated restaurant! I ordered the lemon chop lollipops with chargrilled oysters and truffle chips as an appetizer and the knife and fork grilled cheese for my main entree. It was Excellent! I also ordered the shrimp and corn soup and it wasn't that great, but everything else was top knotch! The start of the show was definitely the Lamb chop lollipops! For drinks I ordered the French 225 and peach bourbon smash, both were good. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. I'll definitely be returning! Worth every penny!

The lamb chops are no longer on the appetizer menu and the chargrilled oysters were overly spiced and cheesed. The soda came from the bar and had a blended flavor from multiple flavor brands coming from the same spigot? I don’t know. I’ll get a red wine next time to fix that.

Love Tallulah! Always a vibe and Shauna (sp) is the most phenomenal bartender ever! Always fun to chat with and she makes THE BEST cocktails AND mocktails! 😃♥️

The owner of Rue Beignets was so sweet and absolutely adorable! She gave us amazing service, and the food was just as wonderful. Everything felt so welcoming and warm — definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again!

Outstanding quality Beignets. Superb interior cell structure, moist & delicate. Well worth the visit. Nice staff.

Such a cute little beignet cafe in a quiet plaza. The frozen café au lait is perfectly sweet and a great companion to the hot and fresh beignets. This store is run by friendly and hardworking staff - they're open 364 days a year (only taking Christmas off), so you can get your fried dough and coffee fix almost any day of the year. The tables are nice and clean even though they serve fried dough covered in powdered sugar. There's local art for sale on the walls and a cute little piano in the corner. A wonderful place to sit, have a coffee, and eat some beignets while you contemplate life. For local artists, you can put your art for sale here!

We can’t leave LA without having beignets! They were perfect! Hot and delicious! First time here though. The girls taking our orders at the register were a little shy maybe? Very quiet which seemed a tad stand-offish. But otherwise super cute coffee shop! So glad we found you!

This place is very good. We came on a Sunday evening it was a very cool atmosphere plus they put Nutella on your beignets as request. Definitely a must try if your new an town. Will definitely come back here.

We stumbled on this spot during our road trip through Louisiana and instantly fell in love! The beignets are beyond incredible—soft, pillowy, and perfectly sweet. While we were waiting, the owner surprised us with some “fingers”-style beignets and even showed off some juggling skills—such a fun, unexpected moment that totally made our day 🥹. Delicious treats, great energy, and genuine hospitality. A must-stop if you’re anywhere nearby!

One of the nicest person I met !! I’ll always remember my 63rd birthday. I am a widow now and it touched my heart . There are still folks around .

Food is just okay. I’ve tried a few things on the menu but only come for the sweet potato pancakes. Service isn’t that good. I’ve eaten here quite a few times and the friendliness of the lady at the counter always falls short for me. Although I literally witness her give the biggest smiles and hellos to OTHER patrons. Today, I didn’t get so much as a thank you before she just walked away after taking my payment. I won’t be back.

The Coffee Bean Cafe is a nice and casual spot to get a great breakfast at a reasonable price. The people here are extremely friendly and offer great service. The food is prepared fresh when you order and comes out very quickly. Place your order, fix your beverage and have a seat. Before you know it your hot meal is ready. They also have outside seating available. A good place to eat.

Great food. The lunch service has lots to choose from and everything was great. I especially like the house chips. The price to food ratio is also a great value.

If you haven’t visited this adorable cafe, you need to stop by for breakfast or lunch! The food is fresh and delicious. They have some pastries as well.. the cheese danishes and big blueberry muffins are amazing! All of the chicken sandwiches are great, and their fries are delish. The woman who runs the place does basically everything out front and she is sweet and helpful.

Omelette was delicious and filling.Meat was cooked well and the bacon was crunchy.Wish the hash brown had more crunch,but it was ok. The Mocha Frappuccino was tasty.Looking forward to trying more! Update Tried their lunch food and was very disappointed. Fried fish was fishy,smh.I just gave it to my dog.The fried shrimp was good.Fries were soggy and not packaged properly(they put the fried fish and shrimp on top of the fries). The tortilla soup was an assault on my taste buds.Very putrid and overwhelming.It looked like thick slop.Nothing soupy about it at all.Burger is a nice size ,but the jalapeño bun was falling apart. I will just stick to their breakfast food.

Coffee was ok, briwnie was very good.

This breakfast was legit! Nice, quiet place to come enjoy a good, filling breakfast! The grits were the perfect consistency! Will definitely be back!

Good for a place instead a hospital. I've been there twice so far and will go there again. Their pre-made sandwiches aren't always great but can be good. Their oven is small and cannot fit a lot of pizzas/wraps at once but they work fast. Nice people.

PJs in Zachary is a great place to hang out. It’s comfortable with lots of separate seating areas. Their staff is friendly and their drinks are always great! Their beignets are also delish!!

My favorite place 😍 ❤️ the service is awesome amen

Excellent service. Very patient and helpful with making up our minds. Superb drinks.

Be aware that this is a location seemingly located inside a hospital. As someone from out of town I was quite disappointed to find that once I got there.

Y’all a hell of a team Jessica D Catina Michalla y’all rock

A coffee and cafe break inside a physician building. Brilliant!

Despite our group being extremely large, our waitress Patricia was extremely lovely and patient through all our requests. The food was delicious, all other staff were generous and accommodating, and we enjoyed our time. Absolutely recommend!

A Delicious Surprise for My Birthday I was taken to Zea Rotisserie & Bar for my birthday, not knowing what kind of restaurant it was and I was blown away! The food was absolutely amazing. Full of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Every bite felt like a celebration. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. From the moment we walked in, I felt taken care of, and the service stayed warm and attentive the whole time. I do wish I had dressed up a little more. It’s definitely a place that deserves more than casual attire 😅. But even so, I felt comfortable and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It’s the kind of spot that feels upscale without being stuffy. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a treat yourself kind of night. I’ll definitely be back!

Five Stars All the Way for Zea Rotisserie & Bar! Review: We recently celebrated my cousin’s birthday at Zea Rotisserie & Bar on Corporate Boulevard (Baton Rouge), expecting around 19 guests—but life surprises you, and more friends showed up! Honestly, I was prepared for chaos, but the management was exemplary. They didn’t rush us or make us feel unwelcome—instead, they rolled with it and made accommodations smoothly and graciously. The food was nothing short of spectacular. From the tender, juicy rotisserie chicken and flavorful sides to the perfectly seasoned dishes close to home-style comfort with a touch of sophistication—every bite exceeded expectations. Our servers matched the food’s excellence: attentive, warm, and effortlessly ensuring everything flowed seamlessly throughout the party. If a place deserves five stars, this does. The professionalism, flexibility, and outstanding cuisine made our gathering memorable. We will absolutely be back—and I’ll be recommending Zea for every celebration to come.

Zea Rotisserie & Bar - Baton Rouge, LA Zea’s Rotisserie in Baton Rouge is a dining experience that never disappoints! From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that sets the tone for your visit. The staff here truly goes above and beyond, making you feel welcome and cared for from start to finish. Every time I sit at the bar, the service is exceptional. The bartenders are attentive, friendly, and quick to take care of any of my needs without missing a beat. Whether it’s a drink recommendation, a quick refill, or ensuring I have everything I need to enjoy my meal, they excel at making you feel like a priority. As for the food, it’s simply phenomenal. The spinach dip is always a must-order—rich, creamy, and paired with chips that are consistently fresh and crisp. The salmon is another standout, cooked to perfection every single time. And the corn grits? Absolutely heavenly—a dish I can’t leave without enjoying. Combine the delicious food with outstanding service, and it’s easy to see why Zea’s is one of my favorite spots in Baton Rouge. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on every front, this is it!

My FIRST visit here! It was the BEST ever! The food was so delicious! My server was excellent! The atmosphere was pleasant! I live out of town., but I will go back! Alyssa was my waitress and she was so pleasant! Kind and attentive! And beautiful!!I enjoyed every bit of my visit! Thanks! I highly recommend eating here!

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We celebrated my wife's birthday and really enjoyed this place. Our waitress Leila was awesome. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and gave great recommendations for all 3 courses that did not disappoint. She was very pleasant and her energy was paramount. We tried the duck empanadas that were really flavorful and the Thai ribs are a must try. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely go back!!!

I Ate here for lunch and I ordered the mango chili rotisserie chicken with corn grits and collard greens. The food tasted okay not heavily seasoned. Restaurant is clean and spacious. My waitress was kind and attentive. I only spent $20 for lunch that’s including tip, which is a great price for a nice healthy meal.

The filet was PERFECTION. The crab cake ..all crab ... it was excellent. The shrimp and grits (I was told by my Dad) was the best ever. The Brussels sprouts were amazing. The French onion soup was better than some you find in Paris. The service was top notch, our server, Ava Claire, was attentive without being intrusive. She made the evening even more enjoyable.

Went here for our anniversary. Everything was delicious aside from the steak, which was so so, and lamb was gamey.. I really didn't care for either. French onion was delicious. Lobster was a little rubbery. The desert and champagne were delectable. These guys went above and beyond to make our day special.

Very nice, great service. Be prepared to pay $$$$$. Perfect for special celebrations.

Exceptional service and food!! We first arrived at 2pm, not realizing we could only order off the brunch menu, so we made a 3pm reservation and returned. Both times we were greeted immediately and seated without issue. Emma was our waitress/server and did a phenomenal job!! She gave recommendations of the crab cake and ribeye, both of which we ordered. The food was nothing short of amazing!! I don't mind paying for quality food and service, and Stab's offered both! The portions were definitely large enough to share and we still had leftovers to bring home. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely be back. That's for making our first time memorable Ms. Emma!!! ~ The Dark's

I recently celebrated 2 birthdays at Stab's. This was my 1st visit to Stab's, and it was a great dining experience. We received excellent service for our party of 10. The food was superb! I've eaten at several other top rated steakhouses, and this one is now at the top of my list. I loved the variety of the menu and the extensive wine list. I'll definitely have to go back again because I look for consistency in service and food. But for now, they are number one. They entire party of 10 agreed!

8/7/2022 My son and I had an AWESOME time. Our food was perfect and Harley is an Excellent server!😍 My cousin and I visited on 1/27/2022. Everything was excellent! Harley, our server was Terrific! Her recommendations were on point and Amazing! Harley was very attentive; just perfect! We appreciate an awesome experience even though there were technical difficulties in the end.

Celebrated two special occasions this evening, and it was absolutely wonderful! Our server was Emma and she was the biggest help with what to order and she was spot on! Service and food was phenomenal! Couldn't have picked a better place eat!

Zeeland street market is excellent. A definite staple in the garden district. They do a ton of business at lunch and never disappoint. The Pecan smoke brisket is tender and juicy, the yams are sweet and delicious, and the cabbage tastes like grandma's kitchen. Can't say I've ever had anything I was disappointed with. Do yourself a favor and stop in.

Why have I not been to this place before??? This is a MUST stop for everyone even remotely close to the area. The food was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! The cornbread dressing just may have been the BEST i have ever had…and I have had A LOT!!! The brisket melted in your mouth… It is a rare find…

This was my first time at Zeeland Street restaurant. Saw the write up in the 225 magazine and had to check it out. For now they are only open for breakfast and lunch, their evening seatings under the name 'Beloved' are on hold. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the white beans over rice with a side order of potato salad and cornbread dressing. Everything was delicious. They also had on their daily specials a pot roast that I saw someone in nearby table enjoying thoroughly, plan on going back to try that sometime soon. The cornbread dressing had a little spicy bite to it, but still mild. The potato salad was definitely homemade tasting and creamy...yum. The white beans themselves were not heavily seasoned, but they had a wonderful flavor and were very creamy. The cornbread muffin was a nice little addition.

I liked the restaurant atmosphere with big windows and natural light, lots of space and bright colors. A good number of menu choices. My to go lunch selections were generous in size but all seemed watered down in taste and texture (and only 1 shrimp & 1 crab piece in my gumbo). I wish I had added some seasoning salt and hot sauce. I think the cornbread and red beans with sausage were the best among the items that I tried. The greens weren't good.

I recently had breakfast at a wonderful place in Zeeland that I can highly recommend to everyone. The classic American breakfast dishes were delicious and the staff really went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary needs as a Muslim. They made sure that there was no cross-contamination with non-halal items, which was very reassuring. The breakfast menu had a great variety of options, from pancakes and eggs to bacon and sausage. I tried the spinach omelette and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. My family had the pancakes, and they were fluffy and filling. What impressed me the most was the level of care that the staff showed towards their customers. They took the time to explain the dietary options and made sure that we felt comfortable with our choices. Overall, I would highly recommend this breakfast place to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service. The fact that they go out of their way to accommodate Muslim dietary needs is a testament to their dedication to customer satisfaction. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast experience!

Food was delicious and staff was nice. The grits were amazing. The ONLY issue was they were short-staffed so service was kinda slow and almost felt forgotten. Would still recommend them because everyone has a bad day.

The food was great! Just a simple homemade breakfast with a great variety of items on the menu. I got the BEST sandwich (bacon, egg, sprouts, tomato), cheddar grits, and hashbrowns. I gave the service 4 stars only because it was minimal, but that was perfect for an early morning and a quiet atmosphere.

Enjoyed this breakfast place on my last day in the area. They did a good job of trying to replicate the Cafe Du Monde beignets and the customer service there was good.

We stopped by looking for coffee and ended up finding so much more: delicious food, amazing service, and lots of love for our dog. We ordered the brown sugar cinnamon latte and the avocado toast (both 10/10!). BJ even surprised our pup with a pup cup, which she rated 100/100 since everyone made her feel so loved and comfortable. Thank you for making our morning such a special one!

Stayed downtown 2 nights, ate here twice! The avocado toast was amazing! I also highly recommend trying one of their daily featured drinks. Definitely will visit again! Thank you for the great hospitality!

This is a place to stop when in the Capital District. Walking distance from hotels. Grab a menu and order at the counter to stay in or to-go. Beignets were fresh. There was plenty of coffee options as well as other refreshments. They do have a small food menu for breakfast and lunch items. Highly recommend.

Vintage is such a vibe! The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, and the service is amazing. My bartender Yogi was so sweet and attentive—she made the experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to

First of all, I ordered a croissant that was dry and hard and clearly has just been sitting out in open container as I saw the employee pull it out from there, secondly, since our order was to go order, it wasn’t until I got in the car and pulled off that I noticed that they gave us empty hard beignets!!!! Which doesn’t make sense since I waited in the restaurant for 20 minutes to get my order and everything was horrible. See pictures attached. This was my first time in Baton Rouge and at this restaurant never again

Nice little cafe plus bar in downtown BTR. Ordered a regular and matcha beignet and it’s soooo gooood!! Cashier was also super friendly and knows their menu. Plenty of seating and parking.

Everything bagel with lemon cream cheese was good. Breakfast burrito was decent , grits were kinda plain . I asked for cheese and hot Sauce to help.

This place used to have an awesome Ham/Turkey wrap for $9 bucks, that had a solid pound of meat in it. Made to order! But now the menu has changed. All of the cold sandwich are grab-and-go (who knows when they were made) and the hot sandwiches aren't worth the price. Paid $15 bucks for 2 slices of pastrami and a bag of chips. Completely dead inside during a lunch hour work day, which means the locals don't even eat there. Kinda sad... this place used to be great.

Convenient for a stay at the Watermark, but overpriced (a Kind bar is $5) and not great. I was born and raised in NY, so I was excited to see Matzo Ball Soup on the menu, and a “family recipe”, as well. I don’t know what abomination this soup would be called, but it sure isn’t Matzo Ball Soup…

Food is always fresh and Delicious. We really never have to wait long to be served. I must mention Ms Mary, she’s very kind and so sweet. She always greets my wife and I every morning when we come in for coffee or lunch. I highly recommend Milford as the place to grab a quick bite especially if you’re in the down town Baton Rouge area. It’s also a dope lil chill spot.

Sent my wonderful husband downstairs to fetch us breakfast before checking out of our Watermark hotel room. Great breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito. These folks do not hold back on the bacon! Would definitely get breakfast here again.

Milford's on third is filled with the two most lively and lovely ladies, Jacqueline & Inez. I pray they will enjoy many more years at this Hotel because they're so sweet to children and family. For breakfast, my girlfriend and I ate the "Turkey Scrambler." The biscuit was so soft, so flakey, it melted in your mouth. Great temperature and the quality didn't look rushed. The biscuit ended up falling apart because of how fresh it was, that didn't stop us from using our forks though. Thank you Inez! Jacqueline, thank you for being kind to the kids who were screaming and giving us the ins and outs of our stay. You're an awesome photographer! Thank You Ladies!

I had the Hummus Wrap and the simple Salad and both were so satisfying that there is no reason at all to write something negative. A good place for vegetarians and a good place for healthy food.

This was such a lovely place. The workers are super nice. The desserts they have are amazinggg. We got the Dubai crape it was so delicious. Haven’t tried the bar yet but I bet it’s just as amazing at the crape they use Belgium chocolate so it’s the best tasting quality wise.

Super cute atmosphere! Would be a great place to have a cup of coffee with friends. I hadn’t realized that they also served coffee drinks & cappuccinos, etc. What keeps bringing me back though are the white chocolate covered strawberries. They make an excellent choice for a coworker’s birthday. Better than a cake and healthier too in my opinion! While waiting for my chocolate covered strawberries to be made, I was suggested to try the strawberry crepe. And oh my word, was I not disappointed! Yum! I literally said “oh my God” out loud. I have never had a crepe before! I have been missing out!

For the love of Chocolate - a perfect tag line for Bonjour! This incredible patisserie has everything a chocolate lover could want. Fluffy waffles dipped in chocolate and covered in sugary goodness, crepes filled with creme, and incredible waffle cones filled with ice cream and too many goodies to count. Forget any other deserts you've had and get to Bonjour right away. Their lovely and knowledgeable staff will be happy to help you and their comfortable café environment will make you never want to leave.

We got the Dubai crepe, bubble waffle, and caramel latte and they were all amazing. You can tell it is freshly made to your order and the staff is very friendly! We will return!

Came in for dessert on a busy night and we were told 15-20min wait. We ordered thinking that wasn't too bad. We didn't get our order until 50mins later. Our order wasn't bad but was way more syrups, spreads, and toppings than crepe.

Can’t say enough about that Dubai chocolate crepe!!! Everything freshly made to order takes a bit of time but it’s very much worth the wait. We also had a brownie covered waffle stick. Definitely recommend trying this place out.

I’m giving Bonjour 5 stars because I want to support local businesses and I really appreciate the kind customer service. The café has a cozy vibe and the staff was welcoming. I tried the Kunafa Au Ganache — it looked beautiful, but the cake itself was just okay and a bit too sweet for my taste. Also, I was surprised to see $2.49 charged for a very small cup of water; for that price, I would have expected at least a bottled water. Overall, I admire what they’re building here and hope the business continues to thrive in Baton Rouge.

We had such an amazing experience at Tsunami! Harin was our waitress and she was so inviting and attentive. She brought out this beautiful dessert to celebrate our evening. She was very sincere and genuine. The sushi was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the wonderful evening. ❤️

We came here just by chance as our hotel was nearby. Well, the food and service was so good that we ended up coming back. And then back again for a third time! Seriously, the sushi is delicious, all the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the cocktails were second to none - we would recommend the haiku! If you’re in Baton Rouge, make sure you swing by here! The views over the river are stunning too.

My daughter is a new sushi lover so I took her on a Tuesday around 3pm. We were seated at a small table for 2 with a beautiful river view. We started with the Shishito and Shrimp. This was pretty good but I needed a better dipping sauce. It was happy hour so certain rolls were discounted. I was disappointed to learn that they didn’t have or were out of the fried rice. We decided to go with the Big Easy rolls and the Shrimp Tempura rolls. They took a little while to come but we enjoyed the view while waiting. My daughter was disappointed that the Big Easy were only 4 rolls. Nevertheless, they were good. I also enjoyed the Shrimp Tempura rolls. Our server was friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and will probably return in the night time for the wonderful views. There is also rooftop outdoor seating. I’d definitely come back for that in cooler weather.

Restaurant is on the top floor of the Shaw Center for Arts. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River and environs and great place to see the sunset. It also means, however, that 1) the restaurant is hard to find if you don't know it's there (didn't see any signs on the ground floor and had to ask the security guard), 2) too much sun and heat to sit outside by the railing to enjoy the view, at least when we were there in July. Staff was accommodating and attentive. We didn't have a reservation and one of their servers agreed to take care of us for dinner at the bar. We were kind of in a back corner but they sat us. Recommend reservations if you want to go there. Food was OK. Interesting combos and flavors. Good portion size. Vegan options. They were out of a couple items we wanted to order.

My boyfriend and I went Tsunami for our anniversary. Our server, Ethan was fantastic! He check on us throughout our dining experience. When there was a delay for the apple martini, he was very polite and apologize. I appreciate his excellent service. We came during Happy Hour, but it took a while to get our sushi. We were patient though. In the photos are Raging Cajun, Dynamite Roll, Lava Roll, Shrimp tempura, Sweet Heat Philly, Big tuna, and Gyoza Umami. For dessert was the Ube cheesecake and the ice cream mochi. My favorite sushi is probably the Lava Roll. I love the flavors- crunchy shrimp, the salmon, the sauces. Very good! The Ube Cheesecake is an interesting dessert. I can taste the sweet potato, but I felt that it was missing something. There's no graham cracker crust. I think it would've elevated the dessert more with a crust. The ice cream mochi taste amazing! I would love to eat more of it. Overall, Tsunami has been a pleasant food experience.

The rooftop terrace at this place is beautiful, great views of the river, bridge and nice buildings in the area. Food was delicious and they had a good variety of both traditional and creative drinks.

A smashing A+, and always is, from the service to the sushi to the sake. Everything about our dinner was magical. First of all it was a first date, second of all it had just rained and stopped. I go usually right before sunset to enjoy the rooftop delight while waiting for my order, and take pictures. The service was excellent, could not complain at all. We ordered two rolls at a time and went from traditional rolls to specialty rolls had appetizers and everything about the reservation we had was amazing. We got there earlier than our reservation and they accommodated. Amazing, just amazing.

This was a great place to eat. You place your order. You get your drinks, then you find a table. They bring the food out to you. It is a nice comfortable atmosphere. The food was amazing. My friend had red beans and rice that came with sausage and bread. She loved it. I head the shrimp etouffee over fried catfish. I had a side salad and bread. The bread was the bomb. It was brushed with butter, and it looks like it was placed on the grill. It had that crunch but was also soft. Soo good! The staff was great and extremely friendly!

Highly Recommend this restaurant. Take a step back in time when you walk in. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Pay as you leave. We had adults and kids in our group. There is something for everyone. Chicken tenders with fries for the kids. Large variety of sandwiches were offered and ordered for the adults. Fresh sweet tea daily. I had an Arnold Palmer with fresh sweet tea and lemonade. The Fresh seafood Gumbo was amazing. They offered homemade red velvet cake. Everything was good!

My mom and I went to Lloyd’s Poor Boys for the first and last time. When we walked in, we were asked what we wanted before even getting a chance to look at the menu. We asked for a moment, and the man gave us a yellow menu. My mom ordered a Coke for me and a sweet tea for herself. He asked if we were dining in or taking out—we said dine-in. He said breakfast had just ended, and they’d call us when lunch started. We sat and were told to pay after eating. He eventually took our order. I got fried pickles. My mom asked about the seafood platter—he said oysters were no longer included. She asked about the oyster poboy, and he explained it was market price. When she asked if it could be cut in half, he asked where she was from because “they do that around there.” She said she didn’t know, just asking. Food didn’t take long. I ate half my pickles, she ate half her poboy. I saw keychains, asked for two. Then I grabbed 7 candy bars, 8 gold coin candies, and 8 Sugar Daddy candies. At the register, I wasn’t told the total. I handed over a card with $81. He said I still owed $10 more. My mom paid the rest. I sat down and said, “There’s no way this was $91.” We did the math—he overcharged. I politely asked for a receipt. He said I should’ve asked earlier—even though I had JUST checked out. I told him I’m Black, not stupid, and I can count. He told me I was making it about race. I asked a nearby lady if I was wrong—she said no. I asked for a refund for everything but the food if I couldn’t get a receipt. He gave me one, but it wasn’t mine—it was time-stamped an hour earlier and had 3 plates we didn’t order. He admitted entering candy as a “lunch plate” because I got 7 bars ($14). He said if I make him count, he’ll charge me more. I told him that receipt wasn’t mine and pointed out the incorrect time and items. He agreed to re-ring everything: • 2 fountain drinks @ $1.99 (but he originally charged $3.38 each) • 7 candy bars @ $2 = $14 • 8 candies @ $0.25 = $2 • 8 candies @ $0.50 = $4 • 2 keychains @ $7.99 = $15.98 • Fried pickles @ $7 (but he charged $9) • Oyster poboy @ $17.38 (market price) Total before tax: $67.12. He said tax was 10%, so added $7—bringing it to $74.12. But I was charged $91, meaning he still overcharged me. I told him he owed me $16.88. He threw $5 on the counter. I said no, that’s not right. He eventually gave me $11 more. Even then, it was wrong—because he’d already included tax in half the items, and the 10% he used was still off. What it should’ve been: • Drinks, candy, keychains, pickles: $46.96 • 10% tax = $4.69 • Subtotal = $51.65 • Add oyster poboy @ $17.38 • Total max = $69.03 We were charged $91—with attitude, zero transparency, and resistance to even providing a receipt. The man was rude, dismissive, and confrontational. I can’t support a place that treats people this way. And the food? Not even that good. If you go here, do the math before handing over your card. You might get hustled if you don’t. He still owes me at LEAST $5.97 I will say that the young man who works there was nice & helpful, when asking him to hand me the keychains. But the other guy, HORRIBLE business owner!!

Consistently good food. Super friendly staff and convenient to the downtown area. My favorites include their Red Beans with Pork Steak, Shrip Etoufee pictured below, and Lemon Ice Box Pie. Only issue is, they're a little expensive, in my opinion.

Food was ok but severely overpriced! I paid $30 for I got 5 shrimp and 2 fish strips this is not acceptable

Enjoy my meal. A lot of food. Able to finish my work. Small amount of people at 1pm. Two thumbs up...

Shrimp Poor Boy was good. Seafood gumbo was very good. Boudin balls were like none I've ever had and great! Bread pudding was dynamite!!!! Reasonable prices for food made with LOVE!

Food was quick, it was a good deal for 6 dollars as they are doing the house favs Monday-Friday 7AM-10PM. It was also very clean and my server was very helpful. If you want something quick, and a good price and experience this I HOP is for you!

Before heading out on the road again, my husband and I hosted a Men’s UNITY Breakfast at the IHOP on College Drive. We spoke with the owner in advance, and he was very accommodating about holding our meeting there. On the morning of the event, our waitress Amanda greeted us warmly and provided excellent service. She was attentive to every attendee, keeping coffee and drinks filled and taking orders with care. The meals arrived hot and fresh. My husband and I ordered the breakfast burritos, which were light, flavorful, and wrapped perfectly. All of our attendees were pleased with their meals. Thank you to the IHOP team for helping make our September event a success!

I was going to fuss at first for not getting my utensils or amenities, but when I taste the grits and those pancakes. I was so satisfied. All that I can say was the food was awesome. Must have a new cook. I truly enjoyed my meal today...

First time actually eating here. They were closed for months. They're just now back to being open 24 hours, like an IHOP should be. My only previous experience here was being asked to leave their parking lot after waiting too long for a passenger to show up. I guess they had nothing better to do at the time than ask people to get off their metaphorical lawn. That didn't exactly make a great impression on me, but nonetheless, I don't hold grudges for too long. I decided to give them a shot at actually serving me tonight. Other than the amount of time it took to make the food (about 25 minutes) they actually did a pretty good job. Only 2 minutes to be seated, 2 minutes to put a drink in front of me, and the food eventually came out good. And they were actually polite (rare these days).

The atmosphere was pleasant on this morning and the food was good and it came out quick. My waitress, Ms. Amanda, was very attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this location for your breakfast needs!

Best damn IHOP location I’ve been to. Food was on point and our waiter was the bees-knees. The music was nice and wasn’t too loud that I couldn’t hear myself think. I really enjoyed my time there eating breakfast. If you live in the area or just passing thru, give this place a shot. I had the Split Decision breakfast 🤌🤤

It was all good but my eggs could've been scrambled softer. I ask for extra, extra soft. They definitely need workers...they are hiring! My eggs were better this time. My daughter loved her Crapes.

Local coffee shop right next to LSU. It is big and spacious with lots of small tables. I like the inside decor. Some people bring their dogs in and around the shop! There's only street parking by the shop. I got a large french vanilla latte and it was good with a caffeine booster! The girl working the register was super kind and helpful!

Today was my first time here. I dropped off my sister in New Orleans and on the way back I needed a calm spot to finish up homework and grab a drink, which led me to here. I got a matcha latte with cold foam, and it was very strong and ended up tasting great with the added mexican vanilla and sugar at the front. The place was stunning and filled with plenty of students and plenty of tables for them to study at. However, later in the evening a friend also visiting Baton Rouge had dropped off food leftovers for me to eat later. Not knowing the policy of outside food and drink, an older man I assume was a manager or owner gave me a short lecture on hurting their business by not buying anything and bringing outside food in (my matcha was long gone so he had no clue I was a customer) and how people like me often come in for the space and not for the business. It was a very valid and understanding perspective as a store owner wanting people to pay for their services, but the way I was spoken to for the others studying around me to hear left me very anxious and uncomfortable so I had to leave. Overall, amazing pastry and drink options and very comfy-cozy space, definitely come here for a relazing study or chat with a friend. However, as a student, idk WHO has hurt this business or cause the projection that I witnessed but just know if you don't have a product of theirs on the table I guess someone will lecture you for it. I was excited to come here the next time I need to take a trip out of Lafayette, but for this being my first time I wouldn't say I feel very welcomed to come back.

I decided to get a frozen mocha blended drink from Highland Coffees and met the owner Clark and his 2 employees. They all treated me really nice and I greatly appreciated that. So if you're ever in the Baton Rouge Louisiana area, you need to check them out.

The vibes in highland are relaxed and social. The outdoor decor is especially pleasant. Their 'coffee of the day' makes repeat visits worth it. The drip coffee here is pretty great, with unmatched variety. The espresso is also quite enjoyable. The medium roast option is the most fragrant and balanced, in my opinion. Their granita latte is also tasty, and very popular among students. Teas are rarely served with a lot of care, and the leaves are quite old. Again, the variey of selection is the main draw. The staff are friendly and quite helpful! Coffee prices here are pretty competitive. Highland sources mid- to high-grade beans and prepares them with decent attention to detail. The price really reflects the product you're getting. Bring a water bottle if you'll be thirsty!!!! They unfortuntely do charge you for a cup of water. If you love black coffee, you'll enjoy a visit to highland.

this cafe is so incredible. the vibes are global village coffee house from the 1996-98 era. and there is this one barista called BC who makes the best drinks is so beautiful and kind.

Spacious, with plenty of seating. Limited food offerings. Solid coffee. Right outside the LSU campus, so plenty of people were there studying and chatting.

Great hangout spot near the campus. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is laid back. The decors are pretty nice too! They have a discounted refill offer for the coffee ordered while dinner in. The options for baked goods are plenty.

The friendly staff were very helpful in my decision of what drink (hibiscus/lemonade) to have with my delicious Piazza Panini, which I easily indulged in the Roasted Pistachio Gelato afterwards. My fur baby was very delighted in the “Dog Gelato” they offer (I took a bitty taste, kinda light peanut buttery taste) Took home some divine loose tea also!!

It’s so refreshing to find an authentic Italian place in Baton Rouge! The atmosphere is cozy and the employees are kind, welcoming, and hard-working. The food was absolutely delicious! We got veggie pizza, lasagna, and the French onion soup. Their coffee was better than any place I’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back to try their breakfast and gelato, they have so many flavors to try! Definitely come here to support a local business <3

Cute little cafe in a strip mall of other stores, the gelato was a little icy but the coffee was really good, I got the gingerbread latte. They also have pop up bakery’s that come periodically, I would be interested in that for sure ! There is food here as well.

Small Italian Cafe. Gelato, coffees, sandwiches and Italian dishes. I enjoyed a Mango sorbet as others in the party chose the dairy gelato. Every dish was empty. The food dishes smelled wonderful as they brought them to other customers. I spied on a flatbread and it looked kickin. I will have to come with my family to try the flatbread. I wished they had cannolli but do have a cannolli flavored cannolli . One person in the party commented that the hot sandwiches are good.

I get La Divina often for lunch and all has been amazing. This visit was beyond. Disappointing. The pizza was served on sliced bread instead of pizza crust and was beyond soggy. We also got spaghetti and meatballs and the meat balls were so dry and crumbly and the sauce had nothing but a can taste. If I didn’t have them before and know the potential I would never return. Not to mention I bought a soda and it was expired in the beginning of February.

Perfect spot for a cute cozy date. The atmosphere is incredibly warm and welcoming. I had the drip coffee, which was delicious and served at the perfect temperature. The Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake was very airy and moist. Definitely will come back to try their breakfast options.

Fantastic place! Customer service was excellent! The food was delicious! Everything came fast. If you are in the area please give it a try. This will be my new favorite place when I visit Baton Rouge. Visiting again and of course, I couldn't leave without trying something new from my favorite restaurant! Again the food was amazing and the service too!

Young lady bartender and server was perfect! Very friendly and one of the best young servers I’ve encountered. The food and drinks deserve a one star rating. Dirty martini not worth the $16.00 price, and the manager that made it was not a very nice person. The food, was bland and absolutely the worst Escargot and Salmon I’ve ever ordered. No seasoning and presentation very sloppy! I recommend the bartender, but not the food!

I had a late check-in at the hotel, and the front desk told that the restaurant had food until 10 PM. But when I showed up at the restaurant at 9 o'clock, they acted surprised and weren't sure if they could make me anything. The bartender did not want to interrupt the chef i guess, he was sitting out in the front bar area and chatting it up with the customers. So I guess he didnt feel like cooking.

Had the best time with Brittany our host at the bar. She makes the best Old Fashion....her specialty. Had mine with Bulliet and my wife with Basil Haydon. Both spectacular! Brittany made our cocktail sojourn the most fun!

Great food from appetizers to entrees. French dishes bring memories and Louisiana cultures

Very good 😋😋😋

These signs really made my day!

All good things come to an end eventually, I guess. I looked forward to my breakfast croissants from here until they restructured the menu & started charging separately for protein on the breakfast items. On top of that, the croissant sandwich looks much smaller now than it used to. And they burned my sandwich today. Looking for a new breakfast & coffee spot now 🙃

One of the best coffee experiences in BRLA. The coffee is always delicious and well made! Great selection of both hot and cold drinks, including teas. The sandwiches are delicious and filling. Excellent gluten free and vegetarian options. The seating is easy to access and usually there is an open table. You can eat outside too. The parking can be challenging because the lot is small. I always bring my put of town guests here for a remarkably cup of coffee

my favorite coffee in baton rouge! it is so smooth. i LOVE the ice that is given in iced drinks. the food is also amazing. they sell local bakeries baked goods and do well with promoting local social events. i love the outdoor area and could sit there for hours. it is also a pretty big space inside. i am never disappointed

The cutest little spot around for some great coffee. In an effort to shop locally, we decided to skip the big chains today. Great choice. I got the grilled cheese sandwich. To my surprise, it had jelly on it. It wasn’t bad. I just didn’t expect it. Everything was served in a timely manner. The host was nice. The drinks were great. I will visit again for sure.

I'm a big breakfast person but I tend to eat it really late during the day especially when I don't have to get up early in the morning for work! That's one of the positives about this place! I can go in late in the afternoon and have a wonderful breakfast and everything is always so fresh and they have great coffee!!

Very cute cafe on Government Street with plenty of parking on the side. The coffee themed interior is decorated with market lights. The yellow on blue color palette makes it very vibrant. The coffee is good, the staff are nice. They also serve breakfast and lunch, but we did not have a chance to try it yet.

Good vibes, stickers and coffee. We bought some to take home and felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. This is the coffee spot! They had some vendors outside selling clothes, nothing for men but it looked artistic. The food biscuit I got was tasty too and quick.

Brew Ha Ha has provided me with my first great gluten free experience ever. Tried the carrot cake, devils food, and yellow cake balls which were very good. Let them come to room temp for the best overall taste. The frozen matcha was a different take on matcha for me, more or less a matcha slurpee. Nice. Best gluten free cookie, I've ever had. Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Awesome flavor and wonderful texture. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Super cool place. Deceiving on the outside, so you must step in! Coffee is delicious, and the employees are so helpful.

The food and drinks were great! The staff was very nice as well. Plenty of gluten free dessert options.

The coffee is really bad. I had the brewed coffee twice and the americano once and both were watery and had a gross twang to it. I wouldn't criticize normally, but it's a coffee shop and I would prefer it and expect it to have good coffee. Secondly, there is no prices. That drives me nuts. I would like to know how much everything costs before I order.

They have amazing coffee flavors and the customer service is top tier. i have been in the store a few times and have been serviced by different baristas. Every time I come, the barista was super helpful, patient and kind.

came in cause I was in town for the morning & wanted something sweet to take back. the reviews were very high for desserts & i was happy to see there was also coffee. I got an iced spiced chai with almond milk that was made perfectly & a couple of cake balls. ive only had the chocolate chip one, which was highly recommended by the staff & it was delicious! soo excited to try the other 2 flavors they packed for me. anyways - a very satisfying spot to pass by for, for coffee & sweets imo and the customer service was great. i will be back. get the wedding cake & chocolate chip cake pop, you wont regret it y'all.

I came to this place for the first time today. My husband bought the cake pops from here a few times before and today I went there with him. I didn't expect the ambiance at this place. It was so peaceful. It has the vibes of where people can come to sit around and do their work or have simple work meet or so. I had their iced mocha and my husband had dirty chai - spicy both are right on spot. Loved them. Coming to the cakeballs (cakepops), there are so many flavors. We got a dozen of them with 6 different flavors and all of them were such a hit with my girls. They were asking when can we go back. So need to plan to go back... this place is worth it.

Just wanted to check out a new spot to get breakfast. Thanks to google, I found this little gem. It's nestled in a business area, assuming to cater to the goers and comers of the surrounding offices. It's a little weird that there's a food pickup window but no door to the kitchen. The employees have to go outside to go to the kitchen on the other side, but if that works for them, cool. This is also weird because it's a tad bit confusing which door is the entrance to the restaurant. Anyhow, everything else was pretty much what was expected. Average prices, check. Great atmosphere, check. Above average customer service, check. Variety menu, check. As for the food, I wasn't disappointed and thought the proportions were good, but not a fan of the pan sausage. And, while waiting, I did think it took a while, so relax when you come here, there's plenty of games to pass the time.

The food is okay. When I flipped my French toast over it was black on the other side. It didn’t taste burnt per say but it was definitely overcooked. The sausage was also basically what you could get at McDonalds. I won’t be back.

Great place to eat. Relaxing environment. Great staff. Fast service and the owner is AMAZING! food is just as wonderful as she is. Definitely recommend

I love this little cafeteria, but food is not my favorite. The only thing that I confident about always taste amazing is cobb salad. I want to like thier food, but it's just not great. Combination of flavors just not the best in some meals. Anything to do with latino added food is horrible. Presentation is always amazing but taste is not.

Awesome place!! Hard to spot, but definitely a treasure! Just beware the alligator. Atmosphere was very inviting and had a great vibe. (Currently Mardi gras themed decor) Got to meet the owner who gave us great service, the caramel macchiato cold foam she recommended was definitely the right choice. Had the bayou burrito, couldn't finish it, it was so big, so delicious though. The jalapeno really brought it together for me. We also had a loaded English muffin, also scrumptious. Fluffy cheesy eggs, yum!! To top it off, shared a white chocolate mocha iced coffee with the caramel macchiato cold foam. Sadly, it was to good to be sharing, one was not gonna be enough it was so good I had to ask for another. The cold foam could have been served by itself it was so good. So many things that would be great on. (The mini pies, for one) Prices were lower than expected for premium food. Definitely my place to go for breakfast when in the area from now on. Chrys, it was a pleasure, we will be seeing you again! Burrito was around 8 Coffee around 6$ for a large Muffin was 5ish.

I’m not sure what to say at this point. I have eaten from here before and don’t remember the food being like this. The first picture is the Voodoo Chicken and as you can see the chicken is smaller than the sides for about 12$. The other picture is one of grilled chicken that is extremely hard. Not even chicken jerky for 12$ The last picture is of the red beans and rice. My coworker found a hair in her dish and immediately stopped eating it. She attempted to call the restaurant and got no answer on the first try and then got the voicemail on the second try. This will be the last time I will eat from Rouge Rabbit.

What a sweet little place! Coffee was great, food was delicious and the owner was present and extremely kind! We will definitely be back :)

Sooo glad the spicy tenders are back. I know they're fast food and really spicy 🔥🥵. Especially dipping them in the hot buffalo sauce. Curly fries are good and had a chocolate milk shake. Service through the drive thru was good. Friendly smile and spoke clearly. I was asked to pull forward for tenders and glad they were fresh and hot.

When walking in the restaurant there is chairs thrown all over the floor is really wet and it isn’t raining and never the less they have kids in the kitchen playing in the fries. There is no proper glove usage man this brand is very very bad eat anywhere else that you can.

Egg dry the little that I had, sausage was over cooked and no bacon or tots. Feel I should have been informed what items that the store didn't have, not just take my order and money for what items they have in their store. Was not at all the meat burrito I'm use to getting.

Placed a mobile order for 2 combo meals. They took 25 minutes to get through people in line. They did not get a single thing correct in the order except for the drinks (it was just 2 combo meals, nothing fancy). They opened the window and it was like a wall of weed smoke wafting out. And we literally watched them step on a roach and then carry on and laugh about it as we waited for our order.

One of the worst Jack in the Box experiences ever. Ordered mozzarella sticks...they were out. Ordered a supreme croissant...they had no croissants. Ended up ordering a breakfast jack and an order of tacos w an orange juice and a coffee. All were bad...very bad. The breakfast jack was served w no ham...how? The tacos were cold and had no "center" in them ...how? Coffee was cold. The pre packaged orange juice was fine. Anything that an employee had to prepare was wrong and (frankly) gross. I'll never return. Be warned...this one is bad...

My order was missing a talso missing the bacon on my bacon ultimate cheeseburger. I tried calling 3 × 2 let them know. The phone will ring and then they hang it right back up. It's time I call. I do not understand why you cannot answer the phone. But it will be a while before I order again.

Service was good, food was hot, store was quiet & clean. First time we have tried Jack in the Box & left happy.

I've heard good things about this place. Their menu has a good variety of coffee options and specialties neatly laid on a clipboard. I wound up getting a cantina blue (espresso, milk, blueberry layer, and butter pea flower), which tasted pretty good to be honest. The bottom layer had a good blueberry taste to it. There isn't that much seating inside because it's a small interior and lots of students studying. At the back side of the coffee bar, there is some bar seating. With the circular seating at the tree, there is a row of outlets and some by the walls. However, if it's sunny and nice (not raining), I recommend sitting outside for a chat.

Stopped in for a quick stop and got a Nola. I didn’t know they have an extensive menu I just ordered whatever is on the wall. Drink was great, not sweet not bitter it’s perfect for a hot day. The amount of ice and the size of the ice is perfect. The interior has a nice vibe and im suprised to find this place in BR. Bonus time they have a wall water filter machine to fill up your bottles with!

This café has a lot of charm and potential, it’s in a great area and has a cozy, local feel. The matcha lattes are delicious and very affordable, and I love that they serve them in real glass cups when you’re not taking it to go such a nice touch! The free filtered water station is another thoughtful bonus. The only downside is that the place could use a bit more regular cleaning. The barista and self-service stations were messy, the floors and walls looked like they haven’t had a good scrub in a while, and the restroom wasn’t very clean either. It’s a great little spot that just needs some extra upkeep to match the quality of the drinks and atmosphere. With a bit more attention to cleanliness, it could easily be a favorite in the neighborhood.

From the moment I walked in, Re’ve Coffee Lab delivered on every front. The Golden Days was pure bliss—bright, comforting, and layered with flavor. I savored every sip and already knew I’d be back. The next day, I tried the Snomelt, and it was just as delightful—rich and indulgent with a playful twist. And can we talk about those egg pockets? So yummy. The perfect savory companion to the drinks, with a freshness that made me feel like the whole menu had been crafted with love. Re’ve isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s an experience.

If i had to pick my favorite coffee shop in Baton Rouge, i would be spending a long time debating between here (Reve) and Lighthouse Coffee. Amazing pastries. Baked fresh all the time. Amazing coffee. Strong wifi. Friendly service. The one and only downside is, it’s too popular and crowded. It’s hard to find a seat. I would appreciate bigger and non shakey desks but it’s not a problem. A strong wifi makes it up.

It took 25 minutes to get two take out coffees.. no pastries left at 10:50 but would not allow us to order lunch ( that started at 11). We got back in line and ordered one turkey sandwich and did not receive it until 11:45 (in the meantime my other daughter and I went across the street, ordered two delicious bagels sandwiches and ate them). We found the staff rude, slow and sarcastic. We will definitely skip this place next time.. there are too many other great places with friendly service.

The aesthetic of this place is cute and cozy. It was quiet despite it being packed, so it seems like a nice place for people to get work done/to read peacefully. This place has dog bowls outside, so it does seem pet friendly. I recommend that you sit in the patio area since it is properly shaded and contributes to the cozy/peaceful feeling. The baked goods were okay and the coffee was also just okay. I don't think I will order their simple drip coffee again because it did not go down smooth. Even so, I will come back to try their other drinks since maybe they'll be more plesant.

Warm, nutty, earthy scents of the perfect blend accompanied with sweet sounds are your welcome mat. The decor is thoughtful and sentimental. The space is open and free flowing, making it the perfect place for studying or catching up with friends.

What a pleasant surprise, so glad I stopped in. Service was gracious and kind. The food is super fresh and of high quality. The variety of the menu means there is something here for everyone. Everything I've tried has been delicious. The place itself is spacious with plenty of room to get things done. Thank you for this wholesome offering; a rare treasure to be sure!

Horacio is theeee nicest! He's created such a cozy place for anyone to relax and restore. From the beautiful paintings to the welcoming blue painted walls to the big comfy couches! I love this spot! 🖤🖤🖤

Good food! Amazing drinks and positive vibes! Nice atmosphere!

Absolutely love this place. Great coffee, smoothies, and I even love the veggie selection; very tastee. I'm not much for anything vegetarian, but I tried it and absolutely loved it. This place is a gem in the community. Love the art and historical artifacts. Great jazz playing in the background. A great place to relax and be in solitude or have conversations with friends. You will not be disappointed.

Stopped in for a minute to pick up some tea and ended up having a really nice visit. Got an iced coffee to go - It was perfect with a shot of agave nectar from the cozy condiment bar. The atmosphere and ambiance are rich in culture. What a great community spot!

This coffee & lunch shop is a gem! We really enjoyed our time there. Good hot chocolate, tasty lemon pound cake, & delicious mango smoothie all for a good price. There is comfortable seating that is spread far apart for covid-19. We liked the sofa. 😊. It is a small local coffee shop with local artwork & a small sound stage area set up for live music.

Still on a journey to find a temporary replacement for my beloved Krispy Kreme... This doughnut was definitely Crispy on the outside & Fluffy on the inside. The glaze was delicious but I wish there was more. The price is nice .89 each or 8.99 a dozen! ****The only con is the minimum card transaction is $3.00 Bottom Line: if you’re near LSU give these donuts a try!

In my opinion the best glazed donut in Baton Rouge. Texture is perfect, right amount of chewiness, airy but not to dense. Good tasting glaze and taste remains the same whether served hot or after they've sat a while. The other things I've tried were very good as well. Not in the best part of town, but worth the trip. Staff is super friendly and always professional. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

The donuts are delicious! The apple fritters are one of the best I've had in town. If you don't get there early enough, they're sold out. Also their their cinnamon rolls are super delicious and like soft but also crispy. I don't know how they do it but it adds an extra yumminess to it.

This place is great! The shop owner is so nice and the donuts are delicious. Breakfast sandwiches and great too.

This reviews definitely overrate this place in my opinion. It's a pretty decent and typical donut shop. There regular glazed donut tastes nothing like Krispy Kreme if you're looking for a dupe. However, it is light/airy and overall pretty good. The kolaches are somewhat overrated as well. Asked for a jalapeno and cheese one and the one I received looked like it had no cheese in it and the jalapenos did nothing for the taste. The breading was fluffy however. The worker there was pleasant. The variety of donuts and food is subpar. Overall, it's a standard experience for a local donut shop.

The best tasting donuts, Ever, in Baton Rouge, were made at formally Tony's on plank rd. at chippewa. By an older black man, who happened to live next door(behind) the building, that is still standing. "Yes" the best Ever!!!

Fresh donuts is a plus and that's why I always visit Crispy 🍩

Rhonda was absolutely amazing, 10/10. Little to no wait with you never wondering where your server is. Very friendly environment, felt comfortable the entire time!

Rhonda was our server!!! So sweet & kind & on top of her job!! We didn't have to ask for anything, she asked us which is what a lot or customer service staff are missing!! It was a beautiful day to be outside, food was delicious, & served quickly even at a busier time of the day! But ask for Rhonda! Would definitely ask for her every time we return to Perkins Road location!!

This has always been my favorite restaurant to get some good breakfast. Everything has always been good. Except Tuesday, I went in and ordered To go. I was excited to enjoy a good meal till I found a hair on my food. I brushed it off, put it to the side and cut the part where i had found the hair. continued eating, but right when i was about to take another bite. I see another hair sticking out , i tried to get it out but it was stuck to my egg. I was very disappointed and disgusted.

Rhonda was an awesome waiter. Food was good. Didn’t take long to sit us down. Also the food comes fast! I ordered the”hey Lucy”.

Food was Amazing! Vibe was Amazing! Jordyn was Amazing! Attentive, sweet, talkative, and just overall great personality! This was actually my first time eating here and I WILL BE BACK!

Rhonda was pleasant and attentive, and the food was delicious! Also, I appreciate that there are vegetarian food choices and fun, non-alcoholic drink choices. My “mocktail” was perfect. 😊

Our family had shrimp & grits for breakfast. The best tasting we have ever had. Our server was Rhonda. Out of the servers I have ever had in 45 yrs She was the best ever. She showed that she loved her job and enjoyed talking to us and making sure we were taken care of. I can't give her enough stars to begin to say how fantastic she was. She helped our breakfast be beyond great.
