    BBQ Salmon
    Divine F.

    The food here is actually very good and the server was very nice and knowledgeable. This is an interesting for me to try specifically since I don't eat pork at all, but surprisingly there were a lot of options for me to choose from! The bbq salmon is good if you like more of a sweet salmon taste. I subbed the corn for mashed potatoes. The crawfish dip was mostly good it just didn't have a lot of crawfish in it. I also tried the brisket burger and it was externally yummy! Overall it's pretty good. The drinks are well priced, the food is maybe slightlyyyy pricey for what you get but great experience and nothing I batted an eye at. Cute little rustic vibe in the inside. I would go again

    Service, Atmosphere, Food and Drinks are always excellent. 5 stars plus. We have never eaten the same things and the food is always 5 stars. Highly recommend.

    To start off the server Nadea w. Was so attentive she made sure we had plenty to drink and they had everything we needed.. the food was amazing a wide selection on the menu to choose from the price is very reasonable so for a great meal and excellent service I highly recommended city pork Jefferson

    I honestly can't remember! But it was so good!

    I was very happy with the service and the food! The waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the different meats and cheeses and suggested pairings for my charcuterie board! From start to finish everything was great!

    The food and service here was fantastic. We really enjoyed ourselves. David was our bartender. He was very attentive and made fantastic drinks! He didn't skimp on any ingredients. The charcuterie boards are great!! I will say though, we were asked to purchase a beer for the kitchen staff ($8 for a 6 pack) which we did. Working in service myself, I think that is crazy to ask the customer to pay for that. If I was the owner, my kitchen would be taken care of by ME and I would be letting them have a cold beer after their shift...just some friendly constructive criticism from an expert in the service industry world (been in it for 25+ years). It makes you look really cheap that you can't take care of your own kitchen. Otherwise, loved this place!! That's my main critique and not directed at our bartender, directed at the owner.

    We visited City Pork during restaurant week and the food was delicious and service top notch. The place was full but not overcrowded for a Saturday lunch. The bacon praline bread pudding was amazing! It was the star of the meal along with the smoked pork belly tonkatsu. The salmon saltine appetizer was very generous in size that we brought home some of our entrees because we were getting full after finishing it off.

    Brisket coleslaw sandwich with house chips!

    First timers here! In one word "WOW"! Had the brisket on bun of course they put the coleslaw on the sandwich, wouldn't have it any other way!! YUM! Made it for happy hour which was a plus! Atmosphere rustic,cozy&cool, service was A+{Chloe was friendly,prompt and did a great job}. We ended with the praline bread pudding w/ice cream & bacon crumbles added, which was the best dessert I ever had!Highly recommend this place, we thoroughly enjoyed everything about it and will sure be back again!

    Schnitzel

    So, this review is mixed. The salmon saltine is usually my go to. I even order it to go sometimes. Tonight it didn't miss. My only complaint is the amount of avocado given, it was such a small piece and mostly brown. My friend ordered the crawfish and Brie dip. It left much to be desired. The dip was watery and lacked seasoning. The chips also tasted stale. For my entree, I ordered the schnitzel sub fries bc, why not. The schnitzel had a good flavor. The gravy was non existent. Nothing to even dip my fries in. Nothing like the pictures I saw on Yelp. I asked for more gravy and there was an additional charge. Also most of my schnitzel was raw. Maybe it was the time and night we went bc we did go at 6:45 on a Sunday night. But, that shouldn't be an excuse.

    It's Simple as the name suggests…read more Nothing fancy or elaborate about this place. It's a small restaurant with a small open kitchen and a small dining room where you stand in line to place your order, get a number to put on your table, and servers bring the food to your table when it's ready. So, if you're looking for a large upscale, elegant restaurant with elaborate food presentations, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for a simple, quick and delicious meal, Simple Joe Café is for you. The menu consists of a wide variety of breakfast favorites, but the menu is not intimidating and easy to read and order from. Simple enough. When my family and I arrived, the small dining room was packed with a few open tables and about six other customers in line waiting to place their order. On Saturday and Sunday, you cannot sit at the open tables or hold the tables until you have placed your order and given a tent number. At that point, the servers will help you find a table to accommodate your party. The employees do a very good job of clearing and turning over the tables to make sure everyone is seated and able to enjoy their meal in a timely manner. I am not a fan of breakfast food and normally don't eat breakfast, so I only had coffee while my family enjoyed their meal, so the food quality part of this review is based on what they described as they were eating. They each ordered Joe's Number One Breakfast Combos which came with two eggs, choice of meat and pancakes and they shared an order of hashbrown and a side of grits. The food came out quickly. They stated everything was fresh, prepared and cooked as requested, the food tasted very good and enjoyed every bite. Of course, the coffee was hot, and fresh and the service was fast and friendly. The relaxed ambience and decor add to the unique character of the restaurant. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-16-26 Simple Joe Café | 3057 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA

Instead, I was trying to meet a friend for lunch and he was so late that we couldn't get in where were trying to go. I saw the sign and off we went to Simple Joe Cafe. Simple, it is. Awesome food, it also is. This place is not fancy nor is it meant to be. This is a solidly Americana type menu and ordering at the counter, serving your own coffee, and picking your own table kind of place. AKA - the kind of place I love. I have been here a few times now and only had breakfast. Hint: they serve it all day. The two meat omelet is a great choice and has been my go-to. The other day some friends got burgers and a club sandwich and those looked great too. This will definitely be in the rotation for lunch.

Turns out we got and order of the boudin pie instead of the crawfish pie but it was delicious! He did bring us out a crawfish pie to try (not pictured) and it was also excellent!!

And holey moley!!! The best finish to our meal!! They also have a great craft beer selection on draft. The only downside to this place is the parking is not great and there are only two bathrooms that are unisex. But heck....I'll be back every time I visit BR!!

They accidentally added regular toast to her plate, but a staff member (who wasn't even our server) noticed immediately, pointed it out, and took it back to get her a gluten-safe replacement.

The restaurant was also clean (including the floors not sticky, which is a win). I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and actually pay attention. I'll definitely be back to this location.

The service was unfriendly, the food was overpriced, and the overall experience was disappointing from start to finish. We had a party of six and were charged a "large party fee," which would have been fine if it had been explained upfront. Then there was an additional fee just for using a card. I ordered the table beignets, and they tasted more like fried biscuits than the beignets they used to serve. My son ordered a chicken waffle and was asked if he wanted bacon(2pc) on the side, assuming it came with the meal, only to later find out it was an extra charge that was never explained. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which used to be my favorite dish here, and it was terrible. The only flavor was Worcestershire sauce and green onions. Nothing about it tasted fresh or balanced. The restaurant itself was not clean. The floors were sticky, and the tables were so wobbly our drinks kept sloshing out. We finally had to shove napkins under the table leg just to keep it stable. To top it off, we never received one of the drinks we ordered or the extra bread we asked for. For just me and my son to eat brunch, the bill came to over $72. I truly hate leaving bad reviews, but between the poor attitudes, dirty floors, lack of service, surprise fees, and bad food, this place earned it. There are too many better brunch spots in Baton Rouge to waste your money here. And one last thing -- if you're going to charge a party fee, charge it fairly across the table instead of sticking certain people with more because they ordered more food. Do better.
