You walk in, place your order at the counter then find a table. They bring your food out to you and check on you throughout. Service is pretty good The food here is good! So good that we visited them two days in a row lol. Both times I ordered the shrimp platter. First time I got the regular size and got the large the second. The shrimp are huge and fried well. Seasoned too! I loved the coleslaw too. The fries were standard fare but were hot and good. Now you see why I ordered the large platter second time. I wanted more shrimp lol. I also ordered the bread pudding the second time and it was melt in your mouth goodness. I didn't have room to eat it all so happily shared it with those in my party. The gentleman who checks you out at the end is the sweetest, funniest guy. Don't know if he's the owner but he helped cap off the great food.

The fish was fried just right--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not greasy at all. The sides were pure comfort: flavorful, filling, and clearly homemade. And let me talk about that cornbread... old-school homemade, the kind you don't find everywhere anymore. Soft, moist, and definitely not the dry kind. Absolute perfection. On top of the food, the workers were extremely nice--welcoming, patient, and genuinely kind, which honestly makes the meal taste even better. This wasn't just a good lunch. This was the kind of food that sticks with you and has you planning your return before you even leave the parking lot. If you want a comforting Southern meal done right, this is the place.

They have been featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive In's, and Dives" and have the pictures with Guy Fieri prominently displayed to prove it. The interior is eclectic, which is comforting. While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice. One can always get coleslaw and beans if you are a fan of the classics. They even have desserts, if one has any room left for them. I rarely do...

The food was delivered hot & fresh & everything had the perfect amount of seasoning. We had smothered turkey necks, rice & gravy, yams, cheese spaghetti, mustard greens, and cornbread. We didn't go to the food stand to get it so I can't speak on the ambiance. However, if you go there, it looks like you order at the window & they send it out. It sort of looks like a large snowball stand. I'll definitely go by to check them out & try more items.

Look for the bright blue truck or like any other food truck follow them on facebook to see where they're going to be at that day: https://www.facebook.com/Fleurdelicious.br That particular day they were parked by a business building and we took our food to some tables outside a nearby Subway. I don't know why the fuck I didn't upload a picture of the chicken itself. Maybe I was too busy eating it that I forgot. The jamaican jerk chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and nicely smoked. They've got three different Slap Ya Mamma seasoning cans outside in case your food isn't spicy enough. Personally, it didn't need any extra seasoning. They also make a strawberry lemonade which looked yummy. That's some Creole SOUL FOOD right therrrr!

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.
