"Cafe at the Square has an amazing atmosphere and eye-catching sketch portraits. I love the location and it's nestled around the nicer downtown hotels. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles with OM Eggs. The chicken is seasoned to perfectly compliment the waffles and maple syrup. Great flavor, albeit the chicken is a little dry. It's a very filling breakfast. I'd order it again. The service was friendly and polite. I enjoyed my experience and would eat here again."

"Went for brunch on Sunday. Ordered fried green tomato Benedict it came with a choice of fried diced potatoes or grits…. It was very delicious, my only slight complaint was the poached eggs were overcooked- no big deal, just no run at all. Get the grits add some pepper jack cheese :) the fried green tomato with grilled shrimp was also amazing…. Shrimp very tasty. Then there was the entertainment 🤣 which is named David Smith(manager I think) Looking for some friendly sarcasm and heckling, go no further. Honestly he was a very nice guy. Would definitely recommend, and will be back for the free meal David promised publicly! 😉"

"We stopped in the restaurant as it appeared to have a few healthier options to eat, more reasonable prices, and wasn’t crowded. I treated myself to the fried green tomatoes which were pretty good with a light breading. I also ordered the “Chicken Lafayette” which said a “light cream sauce” so it came out heavier and richer than anticipated but still tasted good, and I loved the veggies and mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the “Resolution Salad” with chicken and he said it was ok, but a little smaller than anticipated and the chicken didn’t have much flavor. The food was nice, and it was great to have options that weren’t fried if you’re trying to eat healthier."

"A Hidden Gem at Cafe at the Square! I stumbled upon Cafe at the Square, and what a delightful surprise it was! The unassuming and understated decor belied the culinary treasures that awaited us. The food was truly exceptional! The French toast, waffles, and over easy eggs were perfection personified. The over easy eggs were a masterclass in texture and flavor, with a perfectly runny yolk and beautifully crispy edges. The French toast had just the right amount of soak, making each bite a sweet and satisfying experience. And the waffles? Crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside - a perfect balance! But what truly made our experience stand out was the cordial staff. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming, they made us feel right at home. Needless to say, we'll be coming back to Cafe at the Square again and again. If you're looking for a hidden gem with great food and a warm atmosphere, look no further! 5 stars and highly recommended!"

"We had our final breakfast at Café at the Square, located near Lafayette Square. The menu features a blend of American and Creole flavors, even for breakfast. We shared the yogurt with fruit. We also ordered BLT, shrimp and grits, French toast with pecans, and bacon and eggs. The shrimp and grits stood out as some of the best we've ever had, and the French toast was so delicious. Our server, Kenneth, added a lively touch to the meal, making the experience all the more enjoyable."
