History

As a little girl Esther never acknowledged obstacles in her life. Becoming an entrepreneur was her sole aspiration but cooking exceptional Cajun Soul Food was embedded in her soul….

Gladiola Lewis, whose expertise is Cajun Style cuisine and her grandmother, Mary Lewis, who took pride in living off the land and was known as the Master of country style cooking. Both Momma Lewis and Mary Lewis believed in passing their recipes on to the next generation. When you enter the restaurant, be prepared to become an extended family member. As Esther has always wanted to provide an atmosphere of fellowship as well as economic empowerment to the community through her soulful cooking. The feeling at Esther’s Cajun Café & Soul food is one akin to returning home for a home cooked meal and reuniting with old friends and family. Some things are just for the family and at Esther’s Cajun Café when you read the statement ” This seat is for you” that is truly how she feels.

You will find yourself creating opportunities to return time and time again to indulge in the many mouth watering entries that are prepared fresh daily such as mustard greens, sweet potatoes, and oxtail’s cooked with special spices that are Esther’s personal secret. While those items add to the varied weekday menu, you definitely will find yourself delighting in the weekends menu of gumbo, fish and Cajun fried chicken. Yes, the food is delectable, prepared daily and most importantly, its homemade.

Come on by, join the family and enjoy the finest Cajun and Soul food combination in this part of the South.

Sincerely, Esther
