Small local restaurant with tasty dishes. We hit the breakfast rush and had to wait about 20 minutes for our food and a table but it was well worth it

This place is not big but feels cozy and has nice community vibes. The staff is courteous and friendly.
Tried the gumbo, it's excellent. Also the brisket ona biscuit with gravy, had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised, it was delicious. Had to try the beignets, some of the best pastries I've had in a very long time.

I love this place! The food is so delicious, people so nice!

I give it a 4/5 because I wish their menu had gluten free options. As a gluten free girlie, I can only cheat so much and I LOVE this place. :(

I found this place on a Google search and it was fat Tuesday, so I needed something other than King cake! This place came up with beignets!!!!! So I called and they just come in and pick them up... So I drove over make a order for a dozen beignets with powdered sugar on the side and starberry topping and Carmel bacon on the side as well as I needed it for a later in the evening party. What a hit!!! Everyone loved them!!! The have to be the BEST I have ever had!!! And the strawberry topping great, powered sugar great, but the Carmel bacon...OMG!!!! THE BEST!!! I wanted to take a picture with all the beignets, but they were taken as soon as I opened the box... All I can say is go and try them... The woman who helped me was amazingly nice as well... Will go back soon... Thank you!!!!!

The food is highly flavorful and best of all served HOT. Not to burn you but Hot food should be this way. The gumbo is very flavorful and worth the money. The red beans and rice bowl was nice and flavorful as well brisket excellent. To improve affordability pick it up yourself (Doordash adds 8 dollars to cost of Gumbo Quart).

Junebug Café in Six Corners is a gem. It’s a small, cozy spot with a warm Louisiana vibe, and the atmosphere makes you want to linger. The beignets are the real deal — not the donut-style imposters you see at some Chicago restaurants. Anyone who actually knows what a proper beignet should be will appreciate how on point Junebug’s are: light, airy, and authentically prepared.

I also tried the meat pie and the gumbo, and both were very good — flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Between the food and the vibe, Junebug Café is absolutely worth checking out.
