Esther's Cajun Cafe & Soul Food

Owner Esther Lewis-Bernard has soul food in her blood—her great grandmother Mary Lewis was known for her country-style cooking, and her mother, Mamma Lewis, mastered Cajun cuisine. A pit stop at Esther’s Cafe (which is looking to expand to a larger space nearly a mile away from its Northside location) is the best way to immerse yourself in that history, from rich traditions like Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti and Smothered Pork Chops to delectable accompaniments like mac n’ cheese, creamy potatoes, and carefully formed cornbread. And it’s not all about the food, either—Lewis-Bernard is also known to give back to the community via scholarships, food donations, and other commendable contributions, so you can get your fill and feel good doing it.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.
