"Esther’s Cajun Cafe & Soul Food is rooted in enduring family recipes that have been passed down through generations. The restaurant has a homey feel — photos and trinkets emblazoned on its walls make visitors feel like they are in their own grandmothers’ dining rooms. Specials rotate daily, but you can always find mainstay dishes, such as étouffée, chitterlings, and honey-dipped fried chicken. Don’t leave without something sweet, either. Dessert options include peach cobbler, bread pudding and double chocolate cake." - Alexandria Jack, Kayla Stewart
