Did not meet my expectations. Had the crawfish pasta and "fried fish", smh... I thought it would be WAY better. The fish was placed on the pasta and the sauce from the pasta made the fish soggy. It came with lettuce and tomato salad (no dressing) and toast. No part of this meal was seasoned, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THIS IS NEW ORLEANS AND THE MEAL WAS SEAFOOD BASED!!! Also the service was unwelcoming. It was a lot of that "you need us we don't need you" attitude. Never no more!! I'll keep my $10.85 next time. read more

This Joe's location is sad! The employees talk about how shitty their job is and they don't care what they say or do in front of customers. Food is always good but these employees don't have enough self control to server others. This is the one on Barataria blvd.. just don't waste your time. They don't like their job. It's just for the money.. read more

Donuts are very good!! Some of the best I've eaten. They have some creative flavors. Breakfast is fantastic, but the coffee isn't strong enough for me. The burgers!!! I can't say enough about the burgers!! They come on this absolutely amazing bun that's so perfect words can't describe, and the burger is huge!! The fries are delicious too! I usually don't eat fruits, but these are too good not to eat. If you can manage to eat a whole burger with fries you will be stuffed to the brim!!! read more

This is the worst place on the westbank. I ordered a salad and waited 40 minutes in line for it, along with the person in front of me. Not once to someone walk up to the window and tell me anything about my order. And once I received it, they didn't even apologize for the wait. All of their food is low quality besides salads and donuts, but I mean how hard is it to mess that up? Every waitress looks confused and there is no order between them and the kitchen. Place sucks, everyone go somewhere else for breakfast and you might actually get it on time! read more

Went to Cafe service was slow and I ordered red beans and rice and it took them 35 minutes to get me my meal. My friend got his meal within ten minutes and they screwed up my order. They asked me if red beans were alright since they ran out of white beans. I ordered red beans to begin with. read more

My friends and I went to Joe's Barataria tonight March 26. At 8:40 PM,we ordered food and at 9:50 we still did not have our food. When we asked about our food at 9:20,we were told there was a problem with a cook. At least 20 minutes later still no food. We had to ask again, the courtesy to let us know of the delay did not exist. The service was horrendous. We paid for our drinks and had to leave without eating. We waited long enough. Something needs to be done and soon. It will be a long time before we visit Joe's Barataria. read more

We ordered from Joe's via Waitr. First of all, as soon as I ordered my food my phone immediately rang letting me know they were out of one of my chosen sides. No problem, I changed to a side salad. Our food arrived 30 minutes earlier than expected and piping hot! We ordered chicken and waffles. They forgot to send the syrup, but we had some at home. It was delicious. We also ordered fried fish and shrimp. It was also great, but I have to say, the FRIED OKRA WAS AMAZING!!!!! read more

Very slow and poor service. Can't even get seated. They're at 50% capacity and can't keep up with the few people in the restaurant.

at 6:30pm we arrived at joes cafe. our waitress was very unwelcoming but we chose to ignore it. We ordered our drinks. The frozen coffee was watered down and flavorless. Multiple families arrived after us and were fed and able to leave before us. the surf and turf burger was dry and over cooked. The Caesar salad wasn't even a Caesar salad. The blt was very dry. The French toast was undercooked. It's 8pm. We still haven't received all of our food and frankly I don't think we're going to. read more

It's been a while since we have been here. They renovated and the place looks nice but the service today was horrendous... We went in and waited probably 30 mins for some breakfast. Ok a little wait fine but when someone who came in like 15 mins behind you gets their food before you do, that is totally unacceptable... Sadly we probably won't be returning to this location... read more

Great food, great prices, and great service. I can always go and enjoy some delicious donuts, or I'll have something whipped up as a breakfast meal. Always a great choice anytime of the day read more

While the donuts are good they are not the best you ever had. If you like weak coffee then you will like theirs. Lunch ordered a hamburger through drive-thru parked on side till ready and they brought it out to my car it had a good taste but fries were too browned you could tell they were cooked twice which is common in restaurant business but the first fry should be just a blanching not a full fry. Second time getting lunch here ordered the specials chicken stew and pot roast. While I cannot vouch for the pot roast as I never tasted it I can tell you the chicken stew is not worth even thinking about skip it really folks don't waste your money and don't punish your taste buds. There was about 3 cups of rice 1/2 cup of gravy too many large cuts of potatoes with skin and eyes still on. The abundance of thyme in the stew was very overwhelming that if there were any other seasonings they were lost by the amount of thyme. One very large chicken breast very dry both in taste and gravy. read more

The food is really good an the service is great.They have really good Burgers. I love the Jalapeno bread an the seafood eggrolls.

I had the WORST SERVICE HERE. Id rather go to McDonald's. The managers Are so unprofessional. Diana the manager was rude when I made a complaint about my bad service an bad food. She Caught an attitude because she automatically thought I wanted my money back, when I never once asked nor had Any intentions on getting my money back. I was just trying to tell them I did not enjoy myself in there place of business . The general manager that was at the store allowed this women to walk off laughing from my table after I was just explaining how rude Daina was. I will never come here again, I will definitely spread the word not to come here. My service was horrible, the managers were so rude. I'm So disappointed, I'll go to McDonald's next time before i ever come back to this place. At least I'll get better service there. read more

This review is for the location on barataria*** I Had been here before, ordered breakfast for the family (about 6 ppl) and they got our order correct the first time. No issues, okay food. Decided to give them another try. WORST IDEA EVER! First off the girl who answered the phone "Jody "asked us to hold and hollered "who can take a phone order" um you should take the phone order, you picked up the phone didn't you. Strike one. It was Sunday close to lunch time I figured they were probably busy, so whatever gave her the benefit of the doubt. She gave a wait time (twenty minutes), reasonable. I finally arrived to pick up my order and no one seemed to know about the order that was just placed...AFTER the fact that they decided to take a credit card number! Is there no communication at this place is all I thought! At this point I seriously just wanted my money back. They finally find "Jody" who took the order and she recalled that yea she did take the order. They asked us to pull up. We waited about 10 more minutes till finally the food came out. We got to the house and opened the food containers and half the order was messed up. I called back very nicely and asked if I could get a credit or something. Jody said that the manager "Danielle" would be in tomorrow and that she would take my info and give it to her. Guess what ?!?!! Danielle never called and even though this place is 2 min away from me I won't ever be placing an order for more than 2 people if I even choose to return. There's too many other breakfast spots. The fact that the manager couldn't call me back shows how much they care about their customers. On to the next breakfast spot! read more

Horrible experience. Very slow service, party of 7 and 6 orders were wrong... None were as hot as they should be. It took over 45 minutes to get our first dish and subsequent dishes were served over the next hour instead of at the same time...one never came. Will never go here again. There were a couple other tables that shared in our horror. Very disappointing. read more

They recently changed their menu, with tons of new dishes and delicious seafood and breakfast. Joes service is always quick and fast. Me and my girlfriend come here often and order the new Stuffed Catfish JoeJoe! It is a must have! You won't be disappointed! read more

Joe's cafe is normally a great place to eat. Today I ordered a Shrimp and Fish Seafood platter with Fries and Macronie and cheese. Very disappointed when I got home and looked 3 small pieces of Fish maybe 7 very small shrimp like you would put in a gumbo and I mean small. I get more Fries at McDonald's. Was charged 17 dollars Whattt. Never again. Normally we can both eat from it. I sat there in amazement of how little in the container thinking they forgot to put it all in. Was very disappointed to give it to my husband. read more

Why do I go here? Bacon Maple Logs, that's why. Yeah it does take some time to get your order if certain servers are working, but oh, well. Our food doesn't always come up perfect, but they are always willing to fix it. And did I mention the Maple Bacon Log? read more

I just bought The Apple fritter the size of my truck rim. This thing is screaming 7 miles of non stop cardio. Guess I'll be running.... "Now get in my belly! I'm bigger then you!" read more

They're pretty good for doughnuts which is generally what I come here for! They're just your standard, typical donuts shop. Not the best, but not the worst either. I can say that on Sunday, they get super packed and the drive thru moves snail slow. Never tried any of their other foods, but maybe one day I shall. Overall, good spot for a doughnut craving and sometimes they do have coupons in the paper (haven't seen those in a while sadly) but that may just mean I shouldn't be having doughnuts to begin with read more

Some of the best doughnuts, apple fritters, and fried pastries around. The breakfasts are large but go with the simple bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and you will be delighted. The biscuit is the perfect vessel for the sandwich as long as you get it with cheese so that the cheese will melt and glue the biscuit together. Even if it falls apart you will want to pick up and eat the crumbs. The mini-burgers are good too, if you're into those. The apple fritters are great if they have any left. The outside is crispy with a gooey inside all covered in doughnut glaze. They sell out at times which is good because if they do have any they are probably warm and fresh. read more

The fried fish is delicious. Actually ordered something else but they were out and brought me the fried fish with jambalaya instead. They switched out the jambalaya for me with Mac and cheese -also delicious. Service could not have been nicer. read more

This will be the last time I eat at your restaurant I used to live in marrero. I really enjoyed this place when I lived here. Now my child did not like the macaroni so we asked for something else. $4.39 for a side serving of Mac n cheese and a bunch of fries. The amount of food was laughable. We were informed we still had to pay for his meal in addition to the fact we ordered something else for him so we paid for 2 meals for him so they bring our food out 2 hamburger steak meals that were extremely bland and onions were damn near raw while I'm typing this I'm on my child's food 22 minutes we waited for a pancake. We are all ready to go but yet we are still waiting on a pancake 56 dollar bill waste of money. Intended to buy donuts for dessert but I decided I would go spend my money elsewhere. read more

Enjoyed the red velvet donut! Moist and full of flavor. Chocolate covered buttermilk drop was average, needed more chocolate taste. If driving through Marrero I would stop again. read more

Service was absolutely ridiculous this morning. We waited for about an hour to eat breakfast only to be told that the cook had not even started on our meal. Staff was yelling at each other across the restaurant. I've never been to a poorer run restaurant. read more

The staff is friendly and the food is so good!!! I got the veggie omelette and grits and everything was so fresh and very good. The donuts are amazing! I would recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Donuts are amazing and food is good but service is soooooo slow. Please please don't ever bother yourself with their drive thru. Literally took 30 minutes to get 2 breakfast sandwiches and the order was still wrong. But their donuts are damn good! read more

I've only been to Joes a half dozen times, primarily using the relatively quick drive through. On dine in occasions , the service was phenomenal, the staff was courteous, well spoken, and organized. Jamie, who was my waitress, greeted me with a smile, was very punctual in regards to taking my order and bringing my utensils and beverages. The food was delicious! On my first attempt at the lengthy menu, I had the hamburger and fries, totally awesome! My burger was fresh, cooked just right, fries were hot, and the wait was average. I'll wait an extra 10 minutes for a well prepared, meticulously cooked burger. I highly recommend the Apple fritter, chocolate eclairs (creme filled), and the red velvet cake donut for all you "sweet toothers"out there. Joe's also provided me with a TV to watch while waiting on my order and the overall decor and staff emanated a sweet and relaxed ambiance. Great place to eat! Highly recommended. And for all you "out-of-towners", seeking to fulfill your thirst for a great Louisiana seafood dish, the Fish Jo Jo is the "bomb"! read more

You should never have to wait an hour for fried eggs. It wasn't very busy, we weren't offered a coffee refill until our food finally came. Slowest service ever, and with only mediocre food, it was so not worth it. read more

My food was good, my husband's biscuit sandwich was served cold but they did warm it up upon request , doughnuts were beyond amazing!! Service was ok.... I cannot wait to get back and try something else on the menu... If you are on Barataria, you should try it read more

See all

In the 2 times we went here to pick up orders to go ,both times were wrong, today was hilarious . We ordered a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and a french toast breakfast ....... well what we got was a bacon and egg minus the biscuit and cheese and french toast minus the bacon and eggs...... Yea pretty sure good help is hard to find nowadays...... Just pull everything out of your bag on the counter before you leave...... Those people that work there are just too worried about shooting the shit with the counter customers........ read more

Literally just walked out of here. One waitress got our drinks and menus and told us another waitress would come by to get our order. After waiting 20+ minutes, the waitress that was SUPPOSED to be helping us was running around to different tables, took another tables order and left us sitting there. The restaurant was NOT busy, and in the midst of us waiting, another couple walked out because they had been waiting for 35 minutes, the gentleman stated. When stopping her to ask why we were waiting and when was someone taking our order, she got belligerent and said no one told her we were there. Three different people passed us multiple times and said nothing. There are multiple people working a donut counter where there were no customers, why couldn't they take orders if our server was unable to. The wait was one thing, but the belligerent waitress was the breaking point. If you want to be treated well, and quickly, do NOT go here read more

This place has rude people it's not very clean and the employees need a lesson on grooming and speaking not to mention the back of the building is filthy with employees loitering at the back door I think they need health inspectors and to top it off I asked for no mayo 3 times due to allergic reactions came home and my burger was full of mayo. They told me they could not refund my money. And the hamburger never had a bite out of it and hung up on me when I called to let them know. How Disrespectful. So my food went to the trash butt they kept my money. This is really sad and she was told 3 times no mayo read more

I know there isn't many options around for donuts here and Joe's knows this as well and take full advantage. They have the "go try and find donuts somewhere else attitude. You'll be back" and thats the owner and his son. Not the employee. When the Westwego location opened i witnessed the owners son (i didn't know at the time it was his son) bashand yelling at a young employee. Instead of showing her the right way to do the task. Well I got "upper management" phone number. I called with no answer but the owner did call back. I told him athe way the "manager" was causing a seine in the place and how he was belittling the employee in from of customer. Of course he took his sons side and told me if I don't like it to got find another place to get my donuts. I told him I absolutely will and I would make sure everyone i know in Westwego will know what kind of business there supporting. I figured I would let the rest of the public know here. read more

Joe's cafe has the best donuts on the Westbank !! Joe's isn't particularly great for dinner but is for desert ! The donuts make your mouth water , especially when hot !!! read more

Very disappointed; I called in the order 40 minutes before I got there. Food was not ready, they forgot the beignets. They said they would drop the beignets right now. Ten minutes pass, and the one of the waitresses ask if I'm waiting for something. I told them that I'm still waiting for beignets and find out that apparently the beignets have not been dropped yet. They tell me to wait another ten more minutes and they'll drop the beignets right now. I ask for a refund at that time and then the waitress wants to know why. I told her because this is taking way too long; will never go back there again. read more

I specifically ordered a half dozen of chocolate covered donuts and a half dozen of glazed donuts. SPECIFICALLY NO SPRINKLES. I proceed to open the box after my transaction only to find they are completely covered in sprinkles. WHAT PART OF NO SPRINKLES DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND read more

Great new burgee and good food. Love the customer service. Friendly and comfortable place to eat at. Eat there every Friday after work. Happy customer read more

On Saturday September 3, 2011 I sent my husband to Joe's Cafe on Barataria Blvd to get donuts this was a very bad experience. The donuts were very poor quality in taste and presentation. They had a limited amount to chose from so he chose all filled glazed and powder. This was my third time giving my neighborhood business a chance to show me how good they were. I have had to bad experience there before with wait staff, and food . They are ill trained to make the specialty drinks that the have on the menu, it took the lady about 30 minutes to make a mocha coffee drink and then it was still wrong. OMG if you are going to be in business don't you think that you want to keep good wait staff to keep your customers coming back to be a repeat. Food leave a lot to be desired in presentation and taste as well. Cold food unmelted cheese and so on it's just not acceptable at all . read more
