Reviews for Lizettes Cajun Bistro in Melbourne, FL
I'm from Louisiana and have had food throughout the entire state. I say this to portray the authenticity of Lizettes food.... Absolutely delicious and 100% Cajun. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Wish I had taken pictures of the gumbo but itwas gone within seconds of reaching the table. Read more
DELICIOUS!! Quick weekend in the area, asked google for Cajun and man did they deliver. Asked chef what was one of his favorite... things more people would try. "Shrimp & Grits" he replied. Boy, was he right. Several of my taste buds woke up from eating somuch regular, bland foods. I don't even eat grits, but I tore this up like it was my last meal. Do you and your taste buds afavor and treat yourself to Lizette's. You both deserve it Read more
Had an opportunity to try Lizettes tonight for the first time, excited at having a good local Cajun place. The green tomatoes... were crunchy, nice remolaude and great overall. The jambalaya main course was excellent as well, good spice and nice andsaucy. Unfortunately our second main was the New Orleans Cajun pasta expecting the penne and creamy sauce in the description.What I received though didn't match the description at all. Elbow mac, no sauce and dry chicken. As good as the first twodishes were we will be back to try again. Read more
Delicious! The sweet tea put the south in yo mouth! We got red beans and rice, oyster po boy and French onion soup - it was all... good. Service was friendly and fast. Read more
I have been dying to try this place since I heard they opened! New Orleans is one of the most magical cities I?ve ever visited... and their food is some of the best in the world imo. I have already been back many times and have had a great experience everytime. My largest critique is they are often out of certain foods, to my disappointment, the Gator Bites (I?ve yet to call or goat the right time so far) Yes-it breaks my heart eAch time as good gator is hard to come by and I know they would do it right!BUT- we live in different times these days and it?s not the businesses fault, so I anxiously await being able to have theirgator bites when that chance arrives. The chef and owners mother sang beautiful music while we dined, which more often than notis annoying, THIS however, was elegant and set the mood. Soft and gentle yet upbeat that was the perfect background noise anddid not interfere with our tables conversation. The food was just amazing! Everything was cooked so beautifully. Crispy, yettender fried oysters with so many fun sauces to partake in. Every bite was new. The fried green tomatoes with plump large shrimpwas done RIGHT! (I?m a southern girl and I know my fried tomatoes) The crab cake was very good, but the least favorite of themall. Only one came and is stated as ?cakes? on the menu. A tad bland compared to the other dishes bold flavors, but a littlesauce and it was devoured too. THE GUMBO! My goodness! My mouth did a tango and it had SOME HEAT! Probably too much for many,but not for my party. 11/10! Best gumbo I have ever had. Read more
Overall I'd say this place is amazing! The server was very friendly, The chef was awesome and the food was to die for! My dad... got meat pies and shrimp and grits and I got a crab cake and a burger! So yummy! My dad said its the best shrimp and grits hehas ever had. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants great service and a happy belly!! ???? Read more
Good food. I went with a few friends and they had mixed reviews. Some like the food and others though lesser. Let me first say... that I am NOT the best judge of Cajun food, but with my exquisite taste for Jamaican food and spices across the globe this is mytake. My friend had the shrimp poboy and I tasted the shrimps, they were big, tasty and cooked perfect and came the huge bread.???? I had the Shrimp Étouffée. The tomatoes, onions, sweet pepper and other base vegetable were cooked with a bit of salt (Inormally seasoned with very little salt so this maybe normal for Cajun). The shrimp were very small and a bit over cooked. Therewas also broth like sauce at the bottom of the rice so I used a spoon to eat. Once again I am not too familiar with Cajun so Ithought it was good. So would I revisit? Yes but I would go for the poboy, that seems like like a good choice. Read more
I have been to New Orleans many times and enjoyed tons of great restaurants there. I LOVE cajun food. The good news is, I no... longer have to take a plane ride for great food. I can just go a few miles down the road! I had the Gumbo and it was perfect.Large portion and had enough left over for lunch the next day. My (young) son had the fried shrimp appetizer. Do your self afavor and the next time you are looking for a place to go, go here. You will be very happy you did. Read more
