If you haven't tried the breakfast then you are definitely missing out. They say breakfast is the.most important meal of the day. Well this breakfast definitely gives a boost of energy. Don't be stingy with yourself, get the two meats and all the bells and whistles. Good folks and recognize those that support their efforts!
I love this place. Good food, and excellent customer service.
It was so so good....real soul food at a affordable price. Like no lie this was some of the best food I had in a while🤗
Definitely a hidden gem, my husband and I stopped in after our bike ride near LSU lakes. My grandmother recommended Café Express as the best option for comfort food in Baton Rouge. Everything here was delicious, and of good quality, nothing processed. Highly recommend
The owner was very attentive and kind. The food we had was scrumptious! We ate the fried chicken plate and the fried pork chops plate. Their sides were yummy: candied yams and collard greens. The cornbread was fluffy and yummy! Definitely recommend you trying this place!
The liver was so tender and good today, The best soul food in the city. The cake is to die for. Yummy
I've never had smothered pork chops and now my life is more complete. I could eat it with a spoon, so delicious.
Great soul food. Fills you up for hours.. my weekly to daily go to. 😋
Delicious, fast, down to earth, home cooked soul food. Super friendly owners. Seating for ~10 inside. Not sure there could be a better option for lunch in the area. Come early, come often. Absolutely phenomenal oxtail, collard/mustard greens, and red beans. Candied Yams were like dessert - to be expected. $21 for Oxtail+Candied Yams+white beans over rice+corn bread $13 for Fried fish, mustard greens, red beans, rice, cornbread
Easy ordering and the oxtail plate was delicious. First time trying oxtail and will start looking for it more on menus from now on.
