Plate lunch to remember! Fried chicken and chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes. Corn and cabbage with cornbread and iced sheet cake. Delicious food in a vintage restaurant. Friendly and efficient service. We will return for fried catfish on a Friday. read more

Cash only, don't say you weren't warned. Now that that's out of the way, wow! Amazing home cooked Souther style food served by friendly folks. You won't many spots like this! I will be back. read more

Home cooked meals. A conversational crowd with southern charm. Long lines but they move fast. Good place for plate lunches to geaux.

OBSCURE / HIDDEN GEM! The atmosphere is no frills offering good food. Ms. Evelyn (I hope I got her name right) brings her skills and talent to work with her EVERYDAY this place is open for business. The food never disappoints. From the delicious fried chicken, fried catfish, red beans & rice, white beans (all beans served with whole sausage links) potato salad, macaroni cheese, peas, & much more! They have dessert and each meal comes with a corn muffin and tea. ONLY open weekdays from 11am to 2 pm. Very popular with the locals. That being said you will run into a crowd, DAILY. Well worth it! There are small areas indoors for eating but most get their food to go. They post Daily lunch menus on FACEBOOK. Check it out for accuracy. Will post pics of the full plates of food when another order is placed. read more

This place gunna kill me, y'all. Absolutely annihilated my vegetarian, low cholesterol diet. I should have known what I was getting into when every meal comes with a free sweet tea. Its a wonderful Baton Rouge food experience: all the delicious southern soul and none of the pomp and pretentiousness of the local places downtown or in mid city. I totally forgot I was a teacher on spring break and instead ate like I was a construction worker coming off a job. Bury me with the rice and gravy. All Hail the Stockyard Cafe. read more

The food was so bland and not seasoned at all. It was a small portion of food. The best thing was the coke and potato salad. most likely won't be going back. I passed up so many for sure spots for this 25.00 plate that was a portion for a kid. never again read more

Only a few minutes from my home I recently visited and bought meals for an aging friend (which is quite particular) and she's enjoyed them. I am so impressed that I can't wait to try them for myself this week. I'll get back to you as soon as I do. read more

I travel all over the world with my job. Every now and then you run across a little gem of a place to have a good, southern home cooked meal. Here it is! Probably one of the top three cafes in the county imho. All of their food is absolutely amazing. Everyone treats you like family, and you almost feel like you're at your grandma's house for Sunday dinner. All puns and jokes aside, this place is as good as you will find anywhere in the country. Oh, if the name puzzles you, don't let it. It's part of an actual stockyard. read more

So glad I found this spot. This is comfort food that hits the spot. I really enjoyed the food and service both were equally awesome. The Liver and onions over mashed potatoes with Lima Beans, cucumber salad, cornbread and sweet tea were delicious. The ladies behind the counter enjoy their jobs it would seem. The prices can't be beat either, all that for $12.00. read more

Some of the best plate lunches in town... especially when they have fried chicken! It's the 3rd best fried chicken I've ever had, behind only Gus's and Uncle Lou's in Memphis. Add some candied yams, rice & gravy, spaghetti & cheese, cornbread & cake with a sweet tea and you have a heckuva meal. read more

This hidden gem has some of the best home cooked food you will ever put in your mouth! It's so good you will slap yo mama! They are very friendly, the service is fantastic and the food is awesome! read more

One of the lesser known places in Baton Rouge. I've heard whispers for years about the "best fried chicken in Baton Rouge". Sure, it's a hassle to get to, but it actually isn't. There's daily specials (see picture), everything is setup Piccadilly style. All around, it's the best plate lunch I've had in Baton Rouge. The scenery is even more impressive in that there are hundreds of cows traded in the hours before lunch. read more

Amazing food, great people, awesome vibes. Their catfish is perfectly crispy on the outside, yet still moist on the inside. I have been here about 3x and have never been disappointed by the food they serve. The have amazing sides and serve large portions for a reasonable price. This place is a hidden gem and I recommend everyone to eat here. Just be warned they are only open M-F 10am-2pm and can get quite full with the lunch rush. If I'm ever in Baton Rouge again, I will for sure be stopping here. read more

Had lunch here today. WOW!!!!what a meal hamburger steak mashed potatoes mustard greens and cucumber salad and sweet tea. All for 11.00 and so worth it. You walk through the line kinda like in the sale barn you pick your sides and meat. They take cash and credit you do get charged 1.00 for using a credit or debit card but after you eat you want be mad. This place is not a 5 star steak house its a blue collar working mans place and it was great. Ill be back read more

My all time favorite place to dine. The service has always been impeccable and they acknowledge each regular customers by their names. The late owner Mr. Glenn left it in great hands but he is soooo truly missed. Great job and keep up the great work ‍ read more

Found this place by accident. Food was great, service friendly, quick,and portions large. Not the place you want to eat if you are in a diet, but if you wNt real down home cooking I highly recommend this cafe. read more

Been going here for years! Amazing food, great prices. Never disappoints! Cash only, and go early as there is always a line and it's always very busy. Fried chicken is amazing! Mac and cheese, greens - its all delicious! Home cooking that hits the spot! read more

Amazing down home type place to get plate lunch (hey...it is next to stockyard!!). Serving line was quick and portions were generous. Food was outstanding. Everyone with our group loved their entree and their sides. Cabbage and green beans were big hit. Staff were friendly and attentive. Checked on us constantly and even came over to chat with our group. VERY impressed and will be back. read more

Love! Love! Love Stockyard! My favorite dish is the beef tips rice and gravy with double yams. I also like the smothered pork chops with rice and gravy. I'm looking forward to trying the red beans and rice! The people are nice and the food is excellent! I definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice soul food lunch plate. read more

Great spot for down home cooking. Call in your order for take out because the line can be long esp. on Friday (fried catfish). Love the fried chicken, beans and shrimp stew as well! read more

The food is good and filling. Affordable. The parking lot is not paved and it could be tough for a woman with kids trying to get a quick meal (not recommended). Quick note: don't go there too late because they run out of some food items for that day and it's packed during lunch hrs. Hours of business is not that long. Good serving size meals. Small eating area. This place is more for truck drivers and plant workers. read more

I love their lasagna! Great home cooked food! (Lasagna every other Thursday) I will be back to try other food on the menu!

This place is amazing. Although I've known about it for 10 years, I only tried it for the first time 1 month ago. And I've now been 5 times since. The menu changes daily, but you can plan on 5 entrees and 10 vegetables/sides each day. The fried chicken, various beans and sausage, and vegetables are to die for. You will not be disappointed...dine in vs taking out for an even better experience. The owner is awesome and will definitely speak to you while there. read more

So, today was my first visit to this establishment. And i absolutely LOVED it!!!! The atmosphere and the food are just wonderful!!! I will definitely be back all the time now.lol read more

Had a cheeseburger. It was ok, but it shouldn't have costed any more than $.75. Everyone else at my table was able to get their food in line, but I had to wait for mine, so they brought it to the table. It took long enough. The girl (blonde hair, probably someone's daughter/granddaughter) acted like she didn't want to be bothered. read more

I hit up on the stockyard for lunch today on a recommendation from a coworker. All I was told was "they got good beef", it is a stockyard after all. Upon pulling up I find it is indeed so. The smell of hot cow turd on a summer day was ever present. We walk in and it's not really what I expected. It's more of a plate lunch thing. Entree with three sides, and a drink is 9 bucks even. I get the meatloaf with rice and gravy, beet salad, and creamed spinach. It was all good. The place is a little slice of Americana, down home, hole in the wall kind of place. Wood paneling, dim lighting, frosted windows, and a sign that says "no cursing" the dining room looks more like a trailer park on steroids than fine restaurant. It is worth checking out for sure. If your into the off the beaten path, only the locals know about it kind of place you will dig it for sure. One other thing to note, it is cash only. read more

AMAZING Soul food! The best hands down and I'm a VERY picky eater. I was definitely finger licking lol
