“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“

“Stopped in with my wife for a pre-departure breakfast. The setting is very comfortable and appealing for a small café.

We were immediately welcomed by Stephanie, who also served as our waitress. She took care of bringing us some water and mentioned she’d be right back to take our breakfast order.

My wife ordered the Beignets, and I decided to put together an à la carte breakfast. I chose the Andouille sausage, two eggs, and a half order of biscuits and gravy.

The beignets arrived hot, fluffy, and fresh. The andouille sausage was good, though not quite as spicy as I’m accustomed to. The eggs were cooked as requested, and the biscuits and gravy were delicious. The biscuit was fluffy and buttery, and the gravy was perfectly seasoned with a rich flavor and a generous amount of sausage pieces mixed in.

We felt the pricing was very reasonable for this area of the French Quarter, and we would definitely return.“

“A lovely little restaurant serving authentic Cajun cuisine. While some of the food was good, unfortunately it did not sit well with our palate. Nonetheless, I felt this restaurant deserves a good review, considering the wonderful service, the owner helped us newcomers decide what we might like. Try for yourself!“

“Anyone who might have a negative experience at this establishment is forcing themselves to not enjoy it and/or just hates life. 10/10 all around from my take-out order. Today was my very first time trying this place out (lifelong BR resident) and it blew me away. I ordered the two-meat plate, Ribs and Chicken, with sides of mac n cheese and collard greens. I immediately went to my phone once opening the box without evening trying to food itself and texted my buddy about how insane of a lunch experience I already knew I was about to enjoy. Ribs are quite literally fall off bone. Chicken was juicy and seasoned how you want it if you have a southern pallet. This was my first, but certainly not my last visit to this place, and I'm already looking at the menu for what I am going to try next. F a 10/10, these folks deserve a 100/10“

“My experience at Chicken Shack was amazing, as usual! The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. One thing I really appreciate is that they offer specials that make feeding yourself or your family affordable, especially when you're trying not to break the bank.

I grabbed the Saturday special, and since I don't eat very much, it worked out perfectly. I love being able to buy two 2-piece meals and get one free because it gives me enough to share with the people around me too.

Great food, great value, and definitely worth it. I left very pleased! And listen… it was definitely better than spending $12 on typical fast food!“
