    Butter Masala Ramen
    Ciera H.

    We were immediately seated, however the wait time was over an hour for food and drinks despite the place being practically empty! The sweet chill wings were delicious, the Ramen was ok 5/10. The vibes/energy were nice! Music was good and the drinks were strong!

    The space is very charming. It's bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a top-tier aesthetic. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, which added to the overall positive vibe. As for the food, it's a creative Indo-Western fusion concept that definitely caught my attention! I was especially excited to try the butter chicken ramen. While the flavors of the butter chicken were rich and well-executed, the ramen was underwhelming, because it just looks like it's Maruchan (instant noodles) making the dish feel a bit mismatched. The sides that came with the naan short rib sandwich aka tater tots has the same seasoning as another side dish (the debris fries), so there wasn't much contrast or variety in flavor.

    Tap 65 is such a cool concept -- the self-pour beer wall makes it fun and interactive. The drinks themselves were perfection, and the food was just as great. The atmosphere is modern, relaxed, and a little trendy, and the service was excellent. The only downside is the pricing system. Since you're charged by the ounce, if your beer foams up or pours unevenly, you end up paying for the extra even if it's not your fault. It can add up quickly if you're not experienced at pouring draft beer. I think some kind of safeguard or system to prevent overcharges would make the experience even better. Overall, though, Tap 65 is a unique spot with delicious drinks, great food, and a vibe worth checking out. Just be careful with the pour!

    The service was impeccable! The restaurant is dimly lit and perfect for date night! Didn't order any food yet but looking forward to trying brunch and other menu items.

    New Menu

    WARNING: THIS IS NO LONGER AN INDIAN RESTAURANT. Tap 65 has a new owner, and they have completely redone the menu. It's now overpriced and uninspired. The decor is the same, and my service was great, but the menu was disappointing. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were very tasty, and the Holy Trinity Hen. It's so named because it's served over 3 sides: black butter beans, green beans, and summer squash... but they were missing the green beans and squash, and we weren't warned until the food was served. New menu hiccups are understandable, and they discounted the order, but they literally only have 6 entrees on the new menu! The hen's breast was dry but it had a nice crispy skin... very small for the menu price, but what other meat I could find was flavorful. The beans were over-salted, and that's saying something for us, we like salty food. Lastly, several of the taps were unfilled. I'll post the new menu, but here's one of the new "gems": The Not-a-gumbo. "Wild" shrimp (note that menus in LA are supposed to state whether shrimp are imported), Harissa tomato sauce, okra, "cheese", toasted bread, avocado. I applaud them for knowing that isn't a gumbo, but it sounds like it's not food either. Bottom line, this new owner bought a unique destination restaurant and turned it into a generic blah. The only reason we even ate was because we had a Groupon-type deal. I loved the old restaurant and only needed the deal to come out of my way. The new place might be good for someone who wants to sample a bunch of types of alcohol, but that's about it.

    I must say Indian food has some kick but still good. My wife and I came here on a date. Nice vibe and the decor was amazing. We had wings, and the cauliflower bites. We may return to try the brunch.

    Nice date night. I booked reservations for 2 for 6:30 through open table. We arrived at 6:15 and were told to sit anywhere. I informed them of my reservations and asked if they could check me in so that I could reserve my points on Open Table. Otherwise, I don't think they would've worried about my reservation. There were only two parties inside. Outdoor has seating and is very nice. Our waitress was a friendly young lady. We decided on appetizers only. We started with nonalcoholic drinks. They were spritzers and pretty good. We were given a complementary bread and some type of dip that had a strong taste. I didn't really care for it. We ordered Mango wings, cauliflower, and shrimp and fries. Now everything was pretty good but a little too spicy for our palates. If you don't like spice I wouldn't recommend the food. We enjoyed the atmosphere and would probably return for drinks.

    I enjoyed the whole experience. Laid back workers, great food and drinks, and nice atmosphere. Brunch menu was disappointing as it was very basic American. Luckily there was a restaurant week menu. Had lamb and fish curry. Both excellent. The vegan dessert was so damn good I was surprised it was vegan. Caf 65 was good coffee drink. House chai was also flavorful. Dig the vibe will be back.

    Burgers

    Where do I start..... the owner Kimmy was so friendly! She immediately seated up and told us about the New Menu. My husband and I order the burgers and it was to die for .... We also got a beer sample and to my surprise it tasted like jolly ranchers.... I was so shocked!! To develop a new love for fruity beer! I will be returning next week to try a different beer this place is another hidden gem

    This place is my new favorite spot! So many choices of self pour beer-use the flight size to try out a good selection before committing. The menu is a mix of "small bites" -- both warm and cold -- along with enticing entrées and desserts. You can tell the kitchen was trained--every bite is full of flavor and beautifully presented. Music's loud, crowd's fun, and the space looks like one of those trendy spots you see on Instagram. Service is great! Definitely somewhere I'd go back with friends.

    Nice ambiance, I've come for two anime nights and it's great vibes. The service and food are good, there's a unique Indian twist on every item. The butter chicken ramen is a great example, so cool and unique. Everything I tried had a little spice at that sneaks up on you! One thing to note is that drinks are a little pricey for their size.

    What came first

    I LOVE the design and vibe of this place!! They have a really unique style and I am here for it. I came here for brunch and tried both the "what came First" and the "Chicken and Biscuits". Both were absolutely amazing. Their fried chicken was so juicy and delicious (it did have a hint of spicy but I think even the most sensitive person to spice could handle this easily), the biscuits and gravy were perfect. I personally am not a big curry fan, but still wanted to try it and if you are a curry fan you will love the "what came first" brunch menu item! The espresso martini was not my favorite from here (and I love an espresso martini... except that one time I had to many and lost my whole wallet at the airport, but anyway) I most likely will have to try a different brunch cocktail next time I come back. They do have bottomless mimosas! The service was mostly good. When we first walked in no one greeted us and we stood there awkwardly for a good 5 minutes until someone finally came out. We weren't sure if it was self seating or a host would seat us, there were no signs suggesting to seat ourselves. When someone did come out they said we could sit anywhere (I'm assuming because it was fairly empty, just one large group in there and that was it). So still unsure if it's open seating or not but I'm thinking someone is supposed to seat you. Other than the initial walk in experience the staff was very friendly and overall did a great job! TAP 65: they have (I'm assuming) 65 taps, most of them beers ranging from lighter to craft as well as 9 of the 65 being dedicated to wine and seltzer taps. You can create your own flight of any 4 or just grab a larger glass and pour yourself your favorite tap! To drink from the Tap, you just tell them you want to , they basically leave your card open and give you a Tap card that you'll scan in order to pour and it will charge you by the amount you pour. Pretty easy to use and there's plenty to try from! This place offers both indoor and outdoor seating, although the inside is very cool, with their unique artwork on the walls. They also offer deals with private events if you're looking to do something for a special occasion! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would love to come back to try some of their taps as well as their normal menu items!

    I had an amazing time here! The wings and burgers were mouthwatering, and the casual vibe was perfect for a chill night out. Plus, their craft beers hit the spot! The bartenders are top tier here.

    Service was very slow and server was unfamiliar with menu. Drinks were good. Not very busy for a Friday night.

    Good food but really poor service. No refill on water. Erroneously charged my credit card. Didn't feel like they cared about the customer.

    Simple Joe Cafe - Shrimp veggie omelets with grits and bacon!  Yum!

    We had a wonderful breakfast at Simple Joe's Cafe in Baton Rouge!…read more I ordered the shrimp and grits, and it was absolutely delicious--creamy, well-seasoned grits topped with perfectly cooked shrimp and a flavorful sauce that tied everything together beautifully. My husband had an omelette with peppers and bacon, and he really enjoyed it. It was fluffy, generously filled, and cooked just right, with great smoky flavor from the bacon and a nice kick from the peppers. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. Definitely a great local spot for a hearty, satisfying meal.

    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
