Breakfast Restaurants in Louisiana

When Guy Fieri rolled his red Camaro into Louisiana, he discovered a breakfast scene as rich and soulful as the state’s legendary music. From 2008 to 2016, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured 5 morning hotspots across the Bayou State, with New Orleans claiming 4 of these flavorful finds. The verdict from diners? An impressive 4.6-star average rating proves these kitchens are serving up serious morning magic.

Leading the pack are standouts like Surrey’s Cafe in New Orleans, where creative Southern breakfast dishes have earned a stellar 4.7-star rating from devoted regulars. Venture across Lake Pontchartrain to Mandeville, and you’ll find Louie & The Red Head Lady matching that same 4.7-star excellence with their own brand of morning comfort. While one of these beloved spots has since closed its doors, 4 restaurants continue dishing out the kind of breakfast that makes Louisiana a destination for hungry travelers. These are the places where Gulf Coast flavors meet classic American breakfast, and every plate tells a story worth tasting.
