First off, I appreciated the fact that they let me make a reservation. That part was good.After being seated, the service really started lacking. It took a long time to get greeted by the server. She got our drinks and order taken in a timely manner. She was good with refilling our coffee while we waited a long time for our food.Our food finally came out and the reviews are as such:#2 - this was fine according to my pregnant niece. She ate all of it.Avocado Toast: eggs over easy: toast was really mushy, the avocado spread was brown and watery. His eggs were prepared as requested. He ate all of it.Biscuits and gravy with eggs over medium and a side of bacon: First, the gravy had a thick skin on it, like it had sat for awhile under the heat lamp, that was proven correct when I went for the over medium eggs on top and they were so over done that they were inedible, they were so hard. The gravy was hot (heat lamp hot) but everything else was lukewarm warm. The bacon was so dark and black, it was dry but yet greasy. It was not good. I ate 1/4 of all my food.Corned Beef "Hash", eggs over easy - again, heat lamp hot, and not really what was expected, instead this was literally large slices of corned beef laid on top of hashbrowns with some hard cheese on top. My mom was pretty put off by it and only ate her eggs, which were over-medium (ordered over easy). She also ate her cold toast. She ate 1/4 of her meal.Cajun breakfast, eggs over medium: heat lamp warm, kind of a sloppy mess, to be honest. The hollandaise sauce was congealed and the cheese hard. And his over medium eggs were prepared sunny side up, so runny he ate almost nothing.The waitress checked back but no one wanted to complain because there was no way we were going to wait for food again, it took forever the first time. Next time she came back she asked if anyone wanted boxes and no one did. Which should have tipped her off to at least asking about the full plates. Instead she ignored the obvious and brought the check. We paid over $100, tipped her 20% and left.The ambiance was as expected for a breakfast diner.Unfortunately none of us plan to come back, maybe my niece...

The flavors of the food were uneven today. We ordered hot chili, which was overly spicy and not made well for an enjoyable experience. It also included a sweet cornbread. In contrast, the chicken salad was excellent and tasted fantastic. The service was good, and the decor was classically appealing.

Cute place in St Paul for brunch. Plenty of tables and there's a cute little eating bar with retro style bar stools. Service was awesome- our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Food was good- I had the chocolate chip cookie dough pancakes (I was craving the sweets clearly) which were delish. The portion sizes are big too which is a major plus! If you're looking for a casual brunch spot with a wide variety of great options- this is a great spot!

I must say I was hyped at first because I saw the words Louisiana Cafe. Being a Louisiana girl, I was sure the menu would be curated with things from Louisiana. As we approached the building, everyone was telling us of things we should try in the menu. Family oriented atmosphere with cute customer service is what I experienced. Thank you to our waitress she was awesome. However, I was disappointed. When you think of Louisiana, you think of fried catfish more than anything'. You maybe have blackened or baked but fried is the heart. This place had none. The food was okay. I was not wow'd but it was okay.

I was so impressed with this restaurant because I didn't know what to expect. I'm used to going to up-to-date, renovated and modern establishments but this place was reminiscent of an old diner. It even had red plastic foggy cups that reminded me of the old Pizza Hut plastic cups. Service was slow and food took some time to arrive, but we had a large party. Once it arrived, it was worth it. The portions were MASSIVE! You can easily share an entree with someone. I wish I did that, though it was nice having food for the next day.I ordered the Cajun Breakfast. It was really tasty! I really love hollandaise so that was a nice addition. The vegetables were cooked well too, and I loved the hash browns.Got the French toast for my toddler and it came plain..I was expecting Zyrdeki's French toast instead but felt it was too late to change the order and my toddler was hungry. Will have to try it next time.

Giant portions, lots of seating, easy parking in back lot, friendly staff, attentive servers and usually limited waiting times if any. Louisiana Cafe is a staple for the men in my life as you won't be shorted any food. It's also really heavy such as meat, potatoes, bread, etc. I enjoy a lighter breakfast so I only come here once a year when I crave heavy. My most recent visit didn't disappoint with the egg sandwich. There are even a few tables and booths with outlets if you need to work on a computer. Food specials are listed on the chalk board as you enter and during nicer weather months there is a side patio to dine outside. Enjoy!

First time bringing Big Dave here... he wants to come back soon and try more! Loved the omelet and I've had the Santa Fe now the 3 time a I've visited. Not a New Orleans food place rather a great breakfast place ... especially for hungry men! Only wish we had found this place when the boys were still teens! We have been siting outside on the shaded patio. Lovely with the breeze. The service was great but should be tipped extra because of the hassle. Worth it though!!!

Stopped into this place while waiting for my son who was running in the TCM. Really cute, clean, updated restaurant cafe. For having the name Louisiana Cafe I was expecting a lot of NoLa inspired dishes and there were some, but mostly your standard breakfast fare. I had to have the Cajun Benedict and it was OUTSTANDING. Accompanying hash browns were also really good - very thinly grated potatoes, which I really liked. Highly recommended. Staff was very friendly. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'd definitely stop in.

Not sure exactly what's "Louisiana" here; there's a catfish thing on the menu, but this is just a breakfast/lunch pseudo diner. Food was meh at best. Eggs Benedict, eggs not fully poached, still some clear slimy albumin present. Cubano, wrong bread, wrong pork, wrong mustard, wrong cheese, not even pressed. Cornbread muffin undercooked, no browning, floury with hard uncooked bits of corn meal.Service was shocking. Ordered a side salad with Italian, came with no dressing, asked for Italian and only then was told they don't have any. Blue cheese came in a plastic container proudly dated a month ago. Nobody checked on us for drink refills or anything. Sat not eating for over 20 minutes before getting a different server to send our server over for to go containers and the check. There were times when two front of house people were present, both cleaning the same table, no attention to the customers. Restaurant was only half full at the time (yet still somehow loud and annoying), but they were struggling... or not struggling enough... to keep up.This was a random pick because we were in the area with no research beforehand. Lesson learned.

The upside down pineapple pancake was delicious but I could do without having my credit card information stolen and the fraudulent charge. First time using that card and the very next day...
