Review by Jessy Marvin

Esther's Cajun Café & Soul Food is a delightful gem! 🌟 On my recent visit, I enjoyed the smothered pork chops with fluffy rice, followed by the indulgent mac n cheese and sweet candy yams. The atmosphere was cozy, especially on the patio, and the service was impressively fast.

While some dishes could use a little more love - like the oxtails - they still delivered satisfying flavors. The homemade banana pudding was a perfect sweet finish! Pricing is reasonable, too. I can't wait to come back for their baked chicken and more desserts! 🍰✨
