Florida Boulevard just got a soul-food counter with a daiquiri window attached. Southern Chicks Cafe & Daiquiris opened its Baton Rouge shop at 7112 Florida Boulevard, and the family-run brand that dates to 2016 brings hand-breaded fried chicken and jumbo chicken tenders to a stretch that needed a simple, warm meal.

The official welcome page keeps the pitch clear: southern hospitality, comfort food and a family-friendly room. The menu centers on that fried chicken and those jumbo tenders, then fans out into hearty wraps, sandwiches, fresh salads and homestyle lunch specials. Homemade desserts and refreshing daiquiris close the loop whether you are dining in, grabbing a quick bite or picking up for the car.

What to expect on Florida Boulevard

This is not a white-tablecloth project. It is a counter-and-table stop built for neighbors who want chicken that still tastes like someone's kitchen. Pair a tender basket with a salad if you are keeping lunch light, or lean into a wrap when you need something you can eat between errands. The daiquiris are part of the brand name for a reason, so the drink board is meant to travel with the meal, not sit off to the side.

Hours to remember

Baton Rouge hours on the official location page run Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call (225) 256-0152 before a holiday visit, then pull into 7112 Florida Boulevard when the craving hits.
