Lee Esther's Creole & Cajun Cooking
Train Tickets
Lee Esther's serves authentic Creole and Cajun food for dine-in or carry-out. Its convenient location in the Antelope Valley is just a mile from the Palmdale Metrolink station. Here, visitors will experience a welcoming Louisiana hometown atmosphere with tasty weekly specials like Shrimp & Grits, Mom's Smothered Chicken and a Saturday Seafood Boil.
Owner and Chef Michael had dreamed of owning a restaurant for as long as he can remember, but officially founded Lee Esther’s back in 2012. The name of the restaurant pays homage to his mother, and the care she put into each of the meals she prepared for him when he was a child.
Though his restaurant has been serving people for just over a decade, Michael has always been inspired by a love of food and had an appreciation for watching people enjoy hearty meals. He first started cooking with his mother at just seven years old, and he hasn't stopped serving people savory selections since then.
Some other must-try menu items include the generous selection of Po Boys and Sandwiches, the Rib Dog, the scrumptious Jambalaya and Ya-Ya Gumbo just to name a few. Here, diners can experience an eclectic atmosphere alongside excellent and unique food choices.
