Very friendly people. Food was delicious. There were 7 of us and they served up quickly. Everybody liked their food.

Good vibes and great food! Heavy food and big portions. Also get their English muffins! I loved mine that came with my omelette

Hard to beat this great Cajun food restaurant. I've been going there for years even before it was in its current location. And yesterday was the first time I ever tried their Popcorn crawfish. We usually go for the fried green tomatoes, but this was definitely an upgrade.

Great place for breakfast or lunch but don't try to go there for dinner as they close at 2:00.

Pro tip... If you're there with multiple people for breakfast, get a pancake to split for everyone. Or maybe some of their delicious French toast.

Pretty good food.

Stopped by Bon Temps in SLO for brunch and it definitely lived up to the hype. It has that cozy, welcoming vibe and felt like a true hidden gem. The staff was super friendly and on top of things, even when it got busy. Portions are generous. Great spot if you’re craving something hearty with a Southern twist. Would definitely come back!

Anyone who says this is good creole food, never had it. First the original owner sold it to people who are seemingly nice but dont know good creole food. The cornbread is dry and tastelesd. The fried chicken is burnt, the rice and beans were watery and tasted horrible. The service is very slow. Since this is within walking distance to the Antrak train station, I imagine they get folks who want a good meal prior to or after boarding the train. Do not recommend!

I ordered a coffee and the Faitdodo, which was delicious and prepared fairly quickly. The eggs, beans, and sausage were great, and the biscuit was so fluffy. A touch of their branded hot sauce from the table added some nice kick to the plate. Heads-up that their website is very out-of-date as prices go, and the prices have gone up since other menu photos have been posted here. Speaking of which, the Faitdodo was 17.45 on the menu and came up 18.45 on my bill, but I shrugged this time since I felt it may have indicated another increase coming. I hope they continue to do well though because I imagine the rent is high at their location.

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Bon Temps Creole Cafe!
This was hands down the best customer service I’ve ever received at a restaurant. Noel was exceptional, professional, incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to interact with. It’s rare to come across someone who elevates the entire dining experience the way Noel did.

The food was just as impressive. I had the eggs Sardou, and it was nothing short of delicious, perfectly prepared and full of flavor.

At 60 years old, I can honestly say I’ve never had a server quite like Noel. We felt truly grateful and blessed to have had them take care of us. Bon Temps is a gem, and Noel made it unforgettable.

Fun place to eat, great food. Seems pretty authentic. Their biscuits are not biscuits though. More like cornbread or just bread. We'll be going again to try other things.

I was very disappointed because this place instantly caught my attention due to its vibe and it had a lot of people there the music etc. we had came in from San Fernando valley and we were really hungry, the food was horrible, maybe it was a bad option to order but it was really hard to eat the corn bread was not flavorful at all it just crumbled everywhere and not to mention the frozen butter that was served with it that we couldn’t eat and we also had the pasta jambalaya which was really watery and it was just not flavorful at all I think that the staff should really sit and try this food and maybe try to fix this because I see there is more complaints about the taste of food here and I mean that in a nice way because I honestly wouldn’t give that food to my animals. By the end of the night when I got home I still had a bad taste in my mouth and I just felt sick and disgusted. Please do better guys. Nice place bad food.

Hands down the best breakfast joint I’ve ever been to! Love the fried green tomatoes with scrambled eggs and hash browns. Their biscuits and butter are YUMMMMY! Took my husband there for his Birthday Brunch too and he had a little bit of everything. I am vegetarian, he isn’t, and I’m telling you, they have something for everyone! Highlight of going to Slo! A jewel of a restaurant!
