Food was really good. Service was fast you place you order then sit. Person taking order was pleasant. Seemed a little price bit setting was great read more

A famous local joint for breakfast that even made it to New York Times' top list. We came for breakfast and were disappointed by their flavorless pancakes and very simple traditional breakfast. Sully service. Nothing to write home about. Don't understand the hype. And we came with a local friend! read more

My family and I had a wonderful lunch here with some friends that we met from Tennessee. This is a beautiful and very spacious restaurant. I have to admit I didn't think that the portions look like they were all that much for the price that we paid, but it was filling enough for me. I had a pot roast with mashed potatoes and the stuffing. The stuffing had a kick to it, but I also realized that it was made with some meat. It was actually really tasty. And the cake, it was more for flavor not for spice. The pot roast also was very good. I thought it might be in a little bit bigger size cup, but it was more like a very small cup of soup size bowl. While this is a sit down restaurant you do have to go in order up at the front counter first. We were a very large party of about a dozen people. But luckily there was more than enough space for us. This is a really small place. You might actually miss it the first time you drive by. The plaza that it is it is very small and the sign is not really huge. There is free parking in the lot. And really, everyone who works. There is so sweet. The food is definitely solid and I can see why it was given such a high rating in the variety of magazines that I've seen their restaurant listed in. read more

Zeeland Street - Pecan smoked brisket w rice pilaf and mustard greens - Soul Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Cool place to go for lunch. Lots of tasty sandwiches on the menu and other southern style specialty items. They used to do breakfast as well, not sure if they still do. The specials were red beans and rice, mama's pot roast or brisket. It was Monday so I got the red beans and rice. The meal came with a side of mustard greens, cornbread, and sweet potatoes. The price was $15 and some change which is really good considering that's how much McDonald's charges you for a burger these days and it was really a lot of food. My only issue with this dish was that rice must've been undercooked. It was very hard and crunchy. Almost messed up my dental work because I wasn't expecting it and it wasn't just one or two bites. It was the whole dish. I'm guessing this is a fluke because I can't imagine this would happen on a regular basis for as long as this place has been here so I'd probably try red beans and rice there again but from this experience, I would say it's not the best place to get red beans and rice and Baton Rouge. I'm still looking forward to my next visit since there's not many places around this area to get homestyle type cooking and such. read more

Great service and a clean quaint serene little place. Lots of locals and good breakfast. Clean bathrooms and well ran little place. A neighborhood restaurant for sure read more

The food is always tasty. Those that I've recommended it to are pleased. Upon me entering and the owner is visible, she speaks to me by name. I like atmosphere. read more

This place is so cute. Towards the end of the meal, the owner came up and talked to us. This place has been here for so many years and I can't believe I hadn't heard of it before this. It's just good, hearty breakfast and I would recommend it instead of going to one of the popular chains. The food is genuinely good and fulfilling. I think the pricing is really fair too. Im super interested in trying out their lunch specials and maybe catching a live show. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Support local! read more

Counter and self serve service. Food was a bit expensive for what it was, and menu was relatively limited for breakfast. All and all, it was pretty average, but walked in with higher expectations given the level of awards and ratings online. read more

Zeeland Street is one of those local small businesses that is well known and loved by the community! They are well known for their homestyle food and great service. Their Location on Perkins Road just north of the I-10 overpass is convenient, and has plenty of on-site parking. It's also adjacent to other great places like Garden District Coffee. There's outdoor seating that can be great when the weather is nice, or when COVID is a concern. Then there's lots of indoor seating that can accommodate groups of many sizes or individuals. The decor is local and homey. The main attraction is of course the food! When entering, look left at the menu board. There are regular specials such as roast beef and smoked brisket, then there are the rotating dishes which feature different options depending on the time of year or the chef's inclination. These feature home style veggies as sides, and will certainly be filling. They also have a dedicated breakfast crowd, which I intend to join someday... read more

Wow I visited for the first time on Saturday around 12pm. I've never passed by this restaurant so I never knew it existed until someone suggested I try it. My family and I were pleasantly surprised. The place was clean and had plenty of seating available. The staff were all friendly. We ordered breakfast at the counter and seated ourselves. The drinks and condiments are self serve. We were called up to get our food once it was ready! Our breakfast was good! We will return to try lunch! read more

Still good as ever, visited after 5 years and they've made a lot of valuable improvements. I know the lunch was good back then , this time I had the pancake platter. Just as advertised, it's home cooking and hearty food you really can't get anywhere else. Love the family owned and local aspect. I used to go here often so it was a no brainer for me to stop by when I'm town. Hope to see Tina business continue to flourish. read more

Visited the new evening service named BELOVED. I can not put into words how wonderful the food and experience was. JUST GO! Yes you have had a strawberry salad...but not like this one. Yes short ribs are good...but these are exceptional. COLD SMOKED WINGS with a BLUEBERRY BBQ SAICE!!!???!!! Unreal. The flavors, food and cozy atmosphere is unmatched anywhere else in Baton Rouge. Please GO for evening dining. They are opened Wednesday though Saturday for dinner. read more

My family and I have been eating here for over 15 years and it is consistently amazing! It's a small, intimate space that's traditionally felt like a neighborhood diner. It has constantly evolved as the years go on, and it now has space for live music as well as some outdoor seating. The staff is nice, and the service is quick. Despite it's growth, it still feels like a classic counter service spot, and the food has remained the same. We usually get salads, but the daily specials and plate lunches are always amazing, especially the Crab Cakes, which are packed with fresh crab, and the Pot Roast, which tastes like a amped up version of your family recipe. Everything feels home cooked. The breakfast is also a great option for when you're looking for a place to eat in the morning. I typically get the seared tuna salad done medium well. The tuna is always fresh and the other toppings, bleu cheese, walnuts, and avocado, are great additions that contribute to the overall flavor of the dish. My favorite part is the raspberry vinaigrette--it's tangy and sweet and I always end up getting an extra container because it's so good. Overall, this place is a neighborhood classic that always delivers! read more

Zeeland Street has been a go-to place of mine when I need a treat after a long Saturday morning run. My friends and I always find it easy to find a seat and our orders come out quickly and correctly. Perfectly cooked eggs, crisp bacon, fresh vegetables, perfectly cooked grits or potatoes..... mmmmm..... the breakfast is so great. I also recently met some friends for lunch on a day off, and I debated getting breakfast again - but I refrained. I ordered the chicken club sandwich, and again - made to perfection. Everything was so fresh and delicious! One of my friends said his burger was so tender and flavorful, and another friend got a salad with as d-worthy fresh veggies. Lots of people oof seres the red beans special that day, and most had so much that they left with boxes full for later! Another nice thing is that my friends and I were catching up after far too long apart, and we were there at closing time, not realizing it had gotten so late. We were not rushed out or made to feel like we needed to leave. As we finally grabbed our stuff to go, the staff thanked us and even talked to us about the rest of our day. We felt like regulars. You're part of the family at Zeeland! Good eats and good times! read more

Solid breakfast and lunch option every day. They have dinner sometimes but check in advance. It seems to be seasonal now.

My first time here and I'll be back! The food was extremely tasty! I met the owner and she's super sweet! Nice setup as well!

Ms. Wells is one of the nicest women I have ever met in my life. She treats her customers as though you're in her home and technically, you are. The food is great! I love the red beans and rice and the cornbread muffins but the cheeseburger and bacon and cheese hash browns are just as good! The service is friendly. You can sit wherever you like. I'm never there for mac and cheese day, and I'm always dropping in during the most random times, but I think it's a very special place and I'll be back soon. read more

I have been dying to try this place! Recently I made it in and had to come back again within a week. This is a nice neighborhood spot selling both breakfast and lunch. The first visit here I had the breakfast plate with eggs, grits or hashbrowns, and the choice to add bacon...which of course I took...because, bacon. It was very good and made hot and fresh to order. The second time I had the Mama's pot roast. Now this was tasty! It truly tasted like someone's mama's pot roast. For sides I had Mac and cheese and red beans. For some reason, they didn't include rice with my red beans. Not sure if this is standard bc it was a side or just a simple mistake. I truly enjoy even the atmosphere of this restaurant. The majority of the searing are booths which I just think is so cool! Makes for a much more intimate dining experience. Can't wait to come back and Tru more lunch specials! read more

This place is like a whole in a wall! I stop here for lunch with my daughter since we were in the area. I order pot roast and grill cheese for us to eat. Everything was good !

Zeeland Street - Soul Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Breakfast, lunch or brunch... whatever that may be you are craving, fulfill it here! This is a cute, neighborhood spot (Garden District area) that has offers plenty of breakfast goodies and lunchtime specialties. I came for breakfast, but noticed all their daily lunch specials, too (will need to be back for those, especially fried chicken day: Wednesday). You order & pay at the counter... lady there was so sweet and went over all with me after I told her it was my first time there. If you are eating-in, have a seat after you pay & order. Coffee & drinks are self-serve. The restaurant looks like it has been re-done because there are some modern touches... super spacious, too! Great for a breakfast or lunch group. Since I was by myself, I took my order to go (didn't feel like eating alone that day). It took them about 15-20 minutes to get my order ready (not a bad wait time). When I got home, I was ready to dive-in to the pancakes, bacon, eggs & hash browns. I took bites of everything. The pancakes were not that golden color with a crispy touch (that I love), but they had that nice buttermilk flavor. Bacon was nothing exciting either... wish it could have been a touch crispier. Eggs were crambled and were also okay. The hash browns were large chunks of potato and also were okay. The meal was $10.99 and definitely a lot of food for me, so I saved a bunch for my daughter to have for breakfast the next day. Will I be back? Of course! They have so many awesome lunch specials that I'd love to try! read more

You order at the counter but don't worry that's the only thing that's like a fast food place. They use real plates, silverware, coffee mugs & real glasses. I wish they had waitresses but the food is Amazing ! It's extremely hard to find a place that actually knows how to cook eggs perfectly but they do here. We had a mama's breakfast with eggs over hard, toast & Hashbrowns with a side of bacon and the Zeeland slam with eggs over medium, grits, bacon and two pancakes. The eggs on both orders were each cooked perfectly. The hash browned potatoes were delicious as well as the grits, the bacon could of been cooked better it was limp but had a good flavor. The coffee is RiverRoad brand which is beyond great. The orange juice was bottled but it was a great quality brand they also have fountain soft drinks and iced tea sweet & plain and fresh lemon slices I will be back for sure the food was awesome I can't wait to try them for lunch. Open 7am - 2pm breakfast & lunch only read more

Great place for simple breakfast food that you can cook at home. That isn't a bad thing. Sometimes breakfast should be breakfast and not an elaborate brunch. The food was flavorful and delicious. It is a locally and black owned restaurant, which I'd important to me. The setting was clean and spacious. The staff was very nice and even gave us recommendations for activities to do after breakfast! The staff and owner definitely gave off that kind of vibe that you get at a family cookout. Pleasant people! Anyways the pancakes, sausage, and hash browns that I got were well cooked and seasoned. It wasn't overpriced and I felt like the portion size and quality was good. It's a nice place to go alone or with a few friends for a simple breakfast without the bells and whistles of a higher end brunch spot. read more

I liked 4 of the 5 things on my plate and everything else looked good so I'm sure I'll be back. Pecan smoked brisket- really good and tender. It didn't need any BBQ sauce but I tried some and it was good too. Cornbread dressing- really moist and flavorful, I really liked it. Mac and cheese- it was good. Nothing crazy or special about it, just good Mac and cheese. Cornbread- it wasn't too dry, and I loaded it up with butter and sipped up gravy with it. Sweet potatoes- they just weren't very sweet. I like them to have a ton of brown sugar and these were just kind of bland for my taste. We went right before noon and got our food within 5 minutes of ordering. read more

This is a great place if you need a quick, home cooked tasting meal! My friend and I went here today for lunch. I got the crawfish etouffee which reminded of me of my grandmother's so I loved that! We sat on the patio outside, but still got good service from inside and the outside area is so cute! I wish the prices were a little lower. Also, if they could work on the display of the food a bit, that would really set them apart just a little bit more! Would definitely come back--need to try the breakfast next time! read more

Never again. This place advertises breakfast, BRUNCH, and lunch, so I'm not understanding how at 11:00 they do not offer any brunch. I'm almost certain those mash potatoes are 50/50 instant and real. The pot roast was dryer than a powder house and completely lacking any seasoning- it felt like wet construction paper. The yams were good. Jesus, can someone fix the soda machine? It's quite disgusting and you can SEE the mold and mildew practically mating. I can honestly say that I will never return to this place- unless there's an apocalypse and this is my only option. Jeez, I almost for those nasty utensils and elementary school plates read more
