City Cafe,

4710 O'Neal Lane, Baton Rouge, LA 70817

"Only wished we could give more than 5 stars...City Cafe is a lunch experience using old time recipes that always work. Their specials are worth going out to O'Neal Lane to try their lunches. The staff are great and the food, is fantastic. Long-time local restaurant, feels like our own neighborhood place to go... Because it is. Try it. You will not be disappointed. And wait until the crawfish start running...their boiled seafood is second to none."

"The food is fine, if underseasoned. The egg in the hamburger omelet and the biscuit on the side were on point. The ground beef was not seasoned and there was entirely too much bacon (yes, I said what I said - though the bacon itself was good). The potatoes were well-seasoned, but were not crispy (unlike my friend's fries, which were delicious). Tables in our section were way too close together, and people kept hitting me and my chair every time they'd pass. Prices are very reasonable and they do have a good kids' menu."

"My City Cafe experience was excellent. It was my first time visiting, but it won't be my last. The service was friendly and professional. The restaurant was clean, and the layout was comfortable."

"I was referred to get the oysters, and I should have stopped with just that. I ordered the charbroiled oysters with a lemon drop. It was pretty good. But then I decided to get a to go plate. I ordered the Seafood Bellview for 18.99. It was not seasoned and wasn't good at all to me."

"We really wanted to like this place. Everything was very sweet. The nachos tasted like the cheese had sugar in it. Also, the southwest salad was very tasty but the dressing was sweet, strangely sweet. The shrimp and grits were swimming in butter or oil and several shrimp were not peeled. The plating is beautiful, I just wish the taste was as good."
