Baton Rouge residents love Louie's Café because it has served the Louisiana State University community and beyond since the 1940s. Customers rave about the service and the food at Louie's Café. One recent guest said, "There's always great food and great service!" In terms of the great food, the menu is stocked full of delectable dishes. You'll find the Banana Pecan Pancakes, the Breakfast Combo #1 (which comes with eggs, bacon, and pancakes), the French Toast, the Pecan Waffle, and more. All the dishes at Louie's Café are hearty and mouthwateringly good.

Willie's Restaurant

Everyone is family at Willie's Restaurant. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, tasty food, and even better service, Willie's Restaurant is a must-visit spot for anyone living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Come into Willie's Restaurant for brunch, and you can try things like the Spicy Chicken Biscuit, the Apple Pie Waffle, the Leftover Hash, and the Bloody Mary, which pairs great with all this breakfast food. This restaurant is a great place to visit if you had a long night the night before and you want to have a slow morning, because they aren't open for brunch until 11 AM.

Ruby Slipper

At the Ruby Slipper, you'll find unbelievably tasty Southern food with a unique twang. We can always count on the Ruby Slipper to have some incredible sweet treats for breakfast, like the Bananas Foster French Toast, the French Toast Bites, and the White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes. Although the sweets on the menu are great, we also love the savory food that the Ruby Slipper serves. In particular, we think the Shrimp and Grits, the Migas (a Tex-Mex egg scramble served with pico de gallo, chorizo sausage, sour cream, and more), and the Trifecta (eggs benedict) are all great options, too.

Mason's Grill

Mason's Grill is the place to go if you're looking for tasty food that is "leauxcal," or local. As you can tell, Mason's Grill is a neighborhood restaurant, and the menu is incredible. In the morning, start your day with the Chicken and Waffle plate, the Veggie Breakfast Bowl, or the Ribeye Steak and Egg Breakfast. Not only are these dishes filling, but they're also incredibly flavorful, so you're sure to love whatever you order at Mason's Grill. You can order breakfast a la carte, too, if you're interested in creating your own, unique breakfast platter.

MJ's Café

MJ's Café is unlike some of the other restaurants on this list, because it is known for its plant-based selections. While breakfast is only served on Saturdays and Sundays, if you're in the market for some great plant-based food to start your weekend day, you're going to want to visit MJ's café. We love the Game Changer, which is a vegan or dairy scramble—depending on your dietary needs or wants—with tomatoes, avocado, kale, and the special MJ's sauce. Another dish we love is the Grit Bowl, which comes with caramelized onions and bell peppers served over grits (with a few more tasty bells and whistles that will surprise you).

Simple Joe Café

Simple Joe Café is just that—simple. If you're wanting to begin your morning with a cup of Joe, come to Simple Joe Café to do that. In addition to your incredible cup of coffee, you can eat some of the delicious breakfast food served at the restaurant. There are many specials to choose from, like the Double Stack pancakes, which can include strawberries, chocolate, bananas, and more. There are also tasty combos on the menu, like the Number Seven, which is served with eggs, one pork chop, toast, and grits or hash.
