Simple Joe Cafe

Extremely rude and unprofessional staff! My friends and I went to eat at this place, and after ordering and paying, we went to the only available table. 2 minutes later, we were asked to move to a table for 2 even though we were a party of 3. By the time they came with the third chair, someone had already sat down, and they kept arguing that we couldn’t sit here even if no other tables were available! We asked for a refund if we couldn’t sit down and eat our food. The manager came to talk to us, and we moved to a smaller table as soon as one was available with all our food that we haven’t been able to eat because of all this drama. My bagel had a hair in the eggs, but after we decided not to say anything because we wanted to eat and leave this place, My friend posted a Google review about our experience while we were still over there. The manager saw it and came over to ask us, "If we were serious?! ", and told us twice to "GET OUT!"
Sir, you need to go to college and learn about how to manage a business because you’re definitely not doing it the right way. We told our friends and family about our experience and won’t recommend this place to anyone.

Everything was fantastic. We went on a Saturday and it was VERY busy. You stand in line for a good bit to order, but they don't allow people to pre-save tables.

We ordered the Smoked Sausage (it was a little too black, but not bad) the eggs, and grits were good as well. I didn't get a picture of my pancake, because it came out after my plate...but I'd recommend it also.

Fun environment, love the local art, awesome service, free coffee refills, and incredible prices, but the food is just fine - you get what you pay for. Not bad, not great. And the place is pretty busy which is fine, but not a place I’d want to go all the time.

Went today after the Mardi Gras Mambo Marathon. Food was delicious, fast, and hot! We had a party of 7. On the weekends, you cannot reserve tables, everyone in your party has to order, then sit. When we went to find a table there were 2 young ladies sitting at a table for 6. The owner without us saying a word, saw us waiting for a table. He politely asked them if they would move to a 2 top. Although, the ladies were not happy about being asked to move it spoke volumes to us. The consideration of every customer even during the Breakfast rush was memorable. Usually managers and owners wouldn't worry about it, but he did. The atmosphere was family friendly and quaint. 4 hours later we were still full from the large reasonably priced breakfast! They gained customers for LIFE today. We've already talked about going back and bringing more friends.

My husband and I visited Baton rouge for my birthday. Wow, what an awesome place Sean has here. I was super impressed being greater by the owner as soon as you walk in! I asked him about a breakfast burrito. He served me the first Sean Burrito Special, beg him to add it to the menu! It was the best breakfast burrito I ever had!!!! My husband and I split it and it was great. Could not have been more amazing. We also enjoyed looking at all the artwork. What was most impressive is the arc was very attentive and the owner was actively helping. Good job, sir!

If you are from BR, I’m not telling you anything you don’t know. If you are from out of town, run, don’t walk for breakfast here!!

We will be back!

It's always a busy breakfast spot, but that's because the food is so good. It lacks a bit in atmosphere but I overall engrossed in my amazing French toast that I don't worry too much about it. Something for everyone at breakfast.

Best place in Baton Rouge for any time morning or lunch type meal. Sean and the crew have it going on. They are locally owned and operated. Conveniently located in the heart of Baton Rouge. They also take to go orders. The French toast is my favorite thing on the menu. Second favorite are the grits with pepper jack cheese! Yummy!!!!

This is one of my family’s favorite places for a weekend breakfast. The food is straightforward and delicious without any overwrought attempts at pretentiousness. And the grits….OMG. Creamy and ethereal at the same time. My favorite: a grits bowl with sautéed spinach, tomatoes, and onion, topped with a fried egg.

My birthday breakfast of omelette and creamy grits was so good. The cashier was so professional with an amazing personality. I will be eating their more!

I can’t believe I paid $10 for this I felt like my food was Rush SMH
