The food was EXCELLENT and very-well served. Big portions! The potatoes were crispy, the food was so flavorful, the orange juice was freshly squeezed from their machine - and the service was amazing! Our server would come and make conversation with us a few times and she was so friendly! We loved our experience and the food was top-notch! It's such a chill vibe, with friendly service, and convenient location! Will definitely be returning real soon! read more

Found this place while searching for a place to have breakfast. When we walked we were greeted and told to have a seat anywhere. They didn't mention you still have to get up to order the food despite asking and bringing us drinks. Staff were very friendly. One of the women brought beads and bubbles for our baby to play with which was very nice of her. When we got our food my chicken and waffles looked amazing but lacking syrup. They sprinkled just enough to see it and they don't have any syrup on the tables so I just ate them dry for the most part. The chicken was good, the waffles were okay, my wife's food she said was good. Overall it's a nice place and I'd try it again, with the stipulation they turn the AC on because it felt like it was 90 degrees in the building. read more

We walked past this place while headed to another place (there was a wait) so we came back due to being limited on time. You order your food first at the counter and it's brought to your table. It took awhile for us to get our food and saw people getting the food that came in after us. They eventually stopped taking orders because the kitchen "was backed up". We inquired about our order then it was brought out. The food was mid at best. The grits were gross- no flavor at all. I don't add salt to my food but this needed salt and butter. The "toast" was just bread that never saw a toaster a day in its life. The hot sausage was good and taste like it was homemade. The best thing here was the orange juice. I didn't take pictures as I was limited on time and had to hurry to eat to get back to check out of the hotel. read more

Compared to all the other spots we had while in NOLA, I feel like this was only alright. If you're visiting and only have limited time to try places, I wouldn't recommend. If you're here for a while then sure see for yourself. We ordered the egg, bacon, and cheese biscuit. I was disappointed in the breakfast biscuit. The potatoes though?! They were fireeeee! If I ever go back I'm only going for potatoes lol. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu. read more

This place came recommended by multiple locals who were in the area and I decided to take them up on this. It's your standard café No Frills here but they feed you well. The shrimp and grits tasted amazing and the service was pretty quick. If I had to take off one star, it was because the shrimp in the shrimp and grits still had the tails on them. I know that might be petty however, that is something that kinda annoys me when it comes to dining out. Especially with shrimp and grits- I hate having to spit the tails out or pick up the shrimp to take the tails off despite that, the food tasted great and I would certainly return again.. read more

Stopped in here for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Casual spot, you order at the counter, they have counter and table seating. Food was good, I had the pancakes and my husband had the meat lovers omelet. I thought the omelette could be a bit better, it didn't quite have enough cheese for my taste. Potatoes on the side were good, very crispy. The pancakes were tasty as well. Prices weren't bad for downtown NOLA. Nothing extraordinary, but a good breakfast, would come back. read more

I do not recommend eating here. The attitudes were awful, and the customer service was even worse. This establishment seems to have a recurring issue with overcharging customers for items missing from to-go orders, yet they refuse to provide refunds or make things right. Unfortunately, this has happened numerous times. At this point, it feels like overcharging customers may just be part of their business model. read more

Home style cooking in a family friendly casual cafe. Just blocks off Bourbon Street. We ate breakfast here a couple times in the same week! Hubby went with breakfast sandwiches. I had 2 different types of yummy omelets. Fresh squeezed orange juice for the win! You order at the table and food is brought to your table - service is fast and friendly. read more

I was expecting an average breakfast cafe and just walked in because it was freezing! I can't say I wasn't pleasantly surprised. The menu looked pretty basic and simple so I was just expecting a basic simple breakfast. But when I got my French toast it was like a five star restaurant! I've never had such a tasty breakfast. All the way down to the simplest side of potatoes.All items on my plate were packed in flavor! So so good. And the ladies working the counter! Some of the sweetest service so early in the morning. Really gave me a great start to my day. Definitely a way to kickstart your morning! read more

Showed up at 2:05, single diner. They said they were closed. Hours say close at 3. I know it's annoying when people come later, but as a single diner it's not like I'm going to hang out for hours. read more

The restaurant itself is just your average breakfast joint but the food....WOW. You absolutely need to get the pasta and crawfish omelette. The staff made sure we were taken care of too. read more

The staff are friendly, but their timing is a bit off putting... We stood in line for 10-15 minutes, and then when we finally get to the front told we will have to wait another 20 minutes. We decided to wait, and then it was nearly 30 and finally our order went in. The food was average for a diner style restaurant, the kids enjoyed their Chicken-N-Waffle, although my wife felt the oil was a bit old and tasted off. I had the Roast Beef Sandwich on on a Poboy roll and found it to be tasty with a good portion size. We won't be going back, as there are too many other options, but wouldn't issue a stay away order. read more

Fast friendly service. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with sausage, generous portions, reasonable price. read more

Bread and Butter Cafe - Breakfast sandwich with sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Came to this place while in the area and chose it based on its rating. It's Easy to find location with large menu and seat yourself seating. The staff could be friendlier to customers and each other, and the place definitely needs a deep cleaning, everything is spread out and packaged individually like the condiments and everything you need to eat which is rather annoying when your food arrives and you have to get up and move around tons of other customers to get what you need. The food came quickly and was reasonably priced but lacked heat. I Was also disappointed that the fried potatoes were not homemade. I ordered a chia latte hot and it wasn't hot at all. Overall the reason for the low rating was all about the service and lack of quality and cleanliness. You are served on paper plates with paper cups and plastic wear that isn't covered or sealed. There is a lack of overall quality in the service and food delivery/service and while there are good bones and room for improvement, it remains underwhelming for the time being. read more

The food is amazing! So much flavor......definitely recommend this place for breakfast! Kinda like a cafeteria but it's a sit down place.

Great little diner hidden by big buildings and hotels. Walk up to the counter to order, take your number and find your seat. Watching the juicer make orange juice is pure entertainment and always juicing. Service is steady- no rush and no hurry and everything works out fine, so bring your patience. Appears to be a scratch kitchen but don't hold me to that if I'm wrong. Everyone is friendly. The prices are on point with the portions and if you leave and you're not full, then that's on you! read more

Line long, moved slowly on a Sunday morning. Employee told me she wasn't making any coffee or teas at the moment but I noticed others after me were made. No waffles either so pretty bummed. Food was worth the wait when it came out. Probably the best breakfast we had while here and visiting year after year. Husband had hot sausage omelet. I had cheese biscuit and breakfast potatoes which were very good. Good vibe and music. read more

Stopped by Bread and Butter and had the B&B Wake Up Call--went with sausage, and it hit the spot. The eggs were cooked just right, the grits were a bit grainy, and the breakfast potatoes had a nice crispy edge. Toast was simple but solid.

Love this spot next to my house right at the downtown. Its a counter service type restaurant where you prepay first and get the food at your table by either kitchen chef or other staff. Prices are very reasonable not expensive for the same type of food you get at other spot with big price tag. Plus you get breakfast potatoes and small salad with benedicts which i liked most. Quality of the food is amazing along with freshly squeezed orange juice which they make in front of you after you pay. Being a vegetarian person i liked the lots of veg options includes fried green tomatoes benedict and avocado toast they have on the menu with the local and traditional touch of new orleans seasoning. I go there once in every two weeks. read more

What a gem in the Central Business District. We came to this establishment for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The reviews were good and the prices were reasonable. We knew we had struck gold when we entered the establishment and saw a bunch of locals in their dining. Upon entering you go to the counter to place your order and then you find seating if it's available. this location only probably has about 10 tables but they also have bar seating. We were able to find a table with no issue it was not overcrowded at Sunday about 11 AM in the morning. Our food came out within 15 minutes and we also were able to enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice. The oj was so fresh and squeezed right in front of you so you saw every orange that went into providing you a delicious vitamin c cocktail. For food I got the pasta with chicken. I was so pleasantly surprised by the amount of chicken breast that I got in my pasta I had more chicken than I probably had pasta and it was absolutely fantastic. My husband got the all meat omelette with a side of breakfast potatoes and he thoroughly enjoyed his omelet and had some to take back to the hotel room. We also sampled their gumbo and it was very good, I would say it was a little bit on the salty side but it evened out with the rice. Nobody could say that that baby lacked any flavor because it was very tasty. I wish that we had found this restaurant earlier in our trip as we would have probably been there every day. Additionally they had really reasonably priced breakfast sandwiches so if you want to get something before going to the airport or just don't want to sit down they had breakfast sandwiches for less than the price of a McDonald's breakfast meal. read more

While visiting New Orleans we were staying at a hotel just around the corner from the Bread and Butter Cafe. After a very early morning flight and dropping off bags at the hotel, we were in need of a place to grab breakfast. We found B&B on Yelp and headed over. The restaurant looks very small from the outside, but actually has a decent amount of room inside. After a brief wait in line we ordered a few breakfast sandwiches and took a seat. This was everything we were looking for, quick, pleasant service, and good food. The breakfast sandwiches and potatoes were very good, and the fresh squeezed orange juice was fantastic. While a couple blocks from the real busy portions of the French Quarter, if you are looking for a good quick breakfast, stop by the Bread and Butter Cafe! read more

This place was awesome. It represents New Orleans well. The food was amazing. I had the meat lovers omelette with some potatoes and I'm telling you it may be my favorite breakfast spot now, (outside of Gary's in Pleasantville, New Jersey). My wife and Adult kids also loved their meals. read more

Bread and Butter Cafe - Poached egg on top of a bacon biscuit with cubed potatoes, and a savory breakfast salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

We went here because of the reviews. We were mislead. If you're new to this place. Be aware you have to order at the counter like a lot of restaurants in NOLA. After about a 45 minute wait, our food came out with no silverware. The kid bussing tables and bringing the food looked like he was being forced to work there as punishment and then was going to be forced to go to church. The grits came out of the bowl in a solid clump, cold and generally tasteless. The rest of the food was passable for a diner style breakfast joint. The atmosphere itself was fine. read more

2/14 Bread and Butter (breakfast) -Atmosphere --cafe/breakfast spot they were definitely understaffed when I went and it took a significant amount of time to get my order in and then bring my food, i also ordered a water and never got it, prices are like the 10-20$ range -Crab Cake Benedict (16$) --the breakfast potatoes were good and crispy the benedict itself was good and the crab cake was made with real crab. the side salad was limp and weak though -Overall: the food was like fine but the service was lacking and the food definitely wasn't good enough to make up for it *C* read more

Food was good. I reallyy liked their potatoes. The eggs Benedict is not what I'm used to but it was good. The salad on the side of it was different but it balanced the dish. The Cafe Au Lait was a pretty tasty coffee with it only having almond milk in it. Chicken & waffles was also tasty. Well seasoned not dry and went well with the sweet waffles. Service was good, the staff were short that day but they worked hard to get out the orders in a timely manner. read more

I don't understand the hype. It took forever to order with only a couple of people ahead of us. They were out of crepes, half and half and the women's restroom is out of order. My waffle was cool and slightly soggy and the potatoes were food service grade. The "whipped cream" was the shiny bright white artificial stuff. Giving two stars for my son's steak and egg biscuit which he enjoyed. read more

Bread and Butter Cafe - Steak and egg biscuit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Overall 4.5 Stars Local cafe that has 10 tables - 40-50 seats / bar counter w 12 seats. Grab a menu and stand in line to order your food. Fast and friendly people. Grab a coffee while your wait for your orders. Can get really busy and noisy due to the small space during breadfast and lunch. Cafe serves breakfast and lunch which order in the morning. The Crepes - 3 stars - it was ok. The strawberry inside was more strawberry jam and instead of fresh strawberries. The crepe base was good. The Stuffed Banana French Toast - 3.5 - different way round to present a French toast using a soft bread. The bread had a cream cheese filling with bananas. Fried Green Tomatoes Eggs Benedict- 3.5 Stars Eggs and tomatoes were cooked perfectly but the hollandaise sauce was bland. Needed a little bit more lemon in the sauce. Crab Cake Eggs Benedict- 4 Stars - you can taste the crab cake but it has a little bit more fillers (bread seasoning) than I prefer. Eggs were "on point"! Hot Sausage Omelette - 4 Stars - the omelette was seasoned well and the potatoes were yummy. Avocado Toast w Eggs - 4 Stars The eggs were done properly the avocado were underneath the eggs. Cajun Crawfish Omelette- 5 stars - the STAR of the show! The crawfish sauce was creamy, flavorful, and able to taste the crawfish. Staff - 5 Stars - staff were friendly, professional and had wonderful smile read more

Shrimp poboy with the fries and beverage. I must say, if you appreciate volume, this is your place. My Poboy felt like it had 50% more shrimp than it needed. It was flavorful though. The staff were very friendly, quick service, and I'd absolutely repeat next time I'm in town. I hit it during a lunch rush on the weekend and people were scrambling for chairs, but I felt like this was a good sign. Don't overlook this place if you want some good basics. read more

The food is mediocre at best. Breakfast po-boy was cold. BLT had no chipotle mayo or avocado, as advertised. Understaffed. Charged for large coffee, served regular. Ticket says "decaf" although I just asked for coffee. Served two of our three orders about ten minutes before the other --and we had to remind the overworked waitress. read more

We chose this cafe for breakfast based on good reviews. I ordered banana French toast and it arrived completely cold and without bananas. I asked the waitress to bring some. None came. I went up to the counter and asked for them. Nothing came. I finally went up and asked a third time before they handed me a banana. The people at the table next to me took two bites of their food and just walked out. Avoid. read more
