    a bowl of beans and rice with a fork
    Darren H.

    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.

    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!

    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...

    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!

    Never knew about this place. Well since my wife has so many bookmarks she had this one on her scratch off list. So we dine in and let me say it was very nice. The hospitality was good. The food was so Delicious we all enjoyed our Breakfast and will definitely return to try the lunch and dinner. Did I mentioned it's black owned and in a very nice location.

    Pancake cake platter, sausage, roasted potatoes (so good) and scrambled eggs
    Antonia T.

    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.

    Strawberry and Peach Salads

    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.

    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!

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

    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

    This place is awesome…read more I ended up here the other day not because I planned ahead. 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.

The food prices were very affordable too, which is a huge plus in this economy. The space was cozy and charming, almost like dining inside an antique shop. Overall, a great experience, and I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu.
