Lee Esther's Creole and Cajun Cooking

I decided to put in a to-go order as I'm getting over a cold and decided to have a date with my two dogs. I got there at 12:45pm but they didn't open until 1pm. I waited in my car and I was greeted once I walked in. Here's what I ordered:Macaroni & Cheese Balls with crabCatfish & ShrimpCollard GreensCabbage & SausageBanana PuddingMy order took a little over 30 mins, which was completely fine. I'm a patient person and I knew it would be worth the wait. I legit parked after I picked up my food just to try one of the Mac & Cheese balls, I was STARVING lol They were perfectly crispy, the macaroni and cheese was so creamy with the perfect amount of salt and I loved the crab addition. I will dream daily about those. I got home and continued with the rest of the meal. The greens were smoky, seasoned perfectly and the ham melted in your mouth. The cabbage was not my first choice, they were out of bbq beans, but no regrets at all! I could've eaten a giant container of that cabbage. It has a slightly sweet taste to it and balanced well with the sausage. The catfish with the hot sauce was *chef's kiss* Great coating, the fish was flaky and salted well. Their hot sauce is so good! I'm curious if they make it themselves. I will say, the shrimp was my favorite! The batter was delicious, you could taste the shrimp and dipped in their, I believe it was remoulade, was insanely good. The banana pudding was everything I hoped it would be! I'm not a fan of cut up bananas in pudding, but that's a personal preference. The pudding was creamy and the whipped cream threw it over the top.As my first "solo date" experience, I was so happy! It was worth the wait and for what I spent. My taste buds are a little off from my cold but I could taste all the flavor in this meal. Looking forward to going again and I'm bringing friends next time.

Great red beans and rice and amazing po boys. It's great to have a local place to have Creole food!

This place is nostalgic for me. It takes me back to those summers in the south. Good food. Family. Good company. Boudin is actually my favorite thing. When I was a youth, we could only have a little portion of the link my grandfather would personally buy and bring from Louisiana until he learned how to make it himself.He has been gone for 20 plus years now and Boudin is not sold in your family grocery store and hard to find so when you find someone who can make it, you stop in and patronize every chance you get.I have enjoyed their other dishes but these Boudin balls are good when I cant get the links! I will be back again, next time I am out that way.

This is my second time trying this place out in years. O always wanted to tey the gumbo out so this day , they said they had gumbo. I was really excited, I ordered the gumbo and jambalaya this past friday. The food i always hear is so flavorful but it was not as much flavor and the portion of food was not the best but it was ok, i did like that it seem freshly done when i picked it up it was hot. I would try this place again because maybe it was an off Friday or cook.

Best food ever. Great desserts but wish they had more desserts by dinner time as they sell out quickly. Love their bread pudding!

Food was good, service was ok, nothing special about the their location. Went in for their Shrimp & Grits lunch special, I think it's available on Wednesday's, if I'm not mistaken. It was really good. Grits were cooked perfectly, had a decent amount of shrimp and they were swimming in a butter based creole sauce. I also tried their boudin balls, those were good. Then I had their peach cobbler, baby this was one of the best peach cobblers I've had. They were all good but a lil pricey. I called in the order, they had me pay over the phone. When I got there, I decided to add the cobbler, now because it was under a certain amount I had to pay cash, and I usually don't carry cash, but had it that day. But they seemed to have a ton of "rules" to order food, that kind of turned me off. They had decent sized portions that were filling.

In all honesty this was some of the best soul food I've ever had. Who knew that Palmdale was a power house for this type of cuisine.

This place was so good! We ordered the jambalaya with shrimp and dirty rice, the Mac and cheese balls, collard greens, and red beans &rice. Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly! The service was great, everyone was kind and welcoming. The chef Sean did amazing. One of our new go to restaurants.

I love Lee Esther's. I had their "adult" grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of yams. The sandwich was one of the best I've ever eaten. Plus the yams were out of this world. It's worth the 40 mile drive to get there.

If you're looking for good Cajun food in the antelope valley area, here it is. Great food. Great customer service. Priced right.
