Simple Joe Cafe

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.

Nice people, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food.

Their breakfast is real good and not to mention the staff is very polite but the only problem I have is you don't get your moneys worth. The grits is to die for but you only get baby portions. I tried going back a third time with my mom and she said the same thing the food was awesome but it's not worth the money your spending. I'll get the photos from her and upload a few.

I've been coming here for the past 3 years since my son became a Tiger and the excellent food and service has been consistent! I don't know what they do their coffee but it is so good every time!! Definitely recommend this gem if you are coming to visit Baton Rouge!!

Horrible the cooks have no hair net hair was even in my grits when it was served to me they took really long they have no waitresses to serve the food they let any one of the employees serve the food the cool came out and served the food to me ...horrible customer service very rude

I think one of the best breakfast places in Baton Rouge to eat.

Been here a couple times traveling. Love stopping here. Food is good. Coffee is great.

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!!!!

Love Simple Joe's! No fru-fru stuff. Just a good "simple" breakfast with the best pancakes in town.

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!

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.

Ordered shredded hash, eggs, sausage and french toast. It hit the spot, however, the food to me was slightly bland. After doctoring it up, it gave me life. Service was impeccable. I'd definitely come back.

Great food and good service. Friendly people.

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.

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.

Watched the manager go off on three young ladies eating their breakfast this morning. Dude was literally cursing them out in front of everyone and there was children in the restaurant. Not the atmosphere I need in the morning…

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

Good AF breakfast. Enjoyed the friendly service and the grits.

Great food and great service! Best grits in this side of Heaven!!

Excellent food and very nice environment. Manager was very approachable. Thanks for the great experience..🎉🎉🎉
