Esther's Cajun Café & Soul Food

Houston has 194 Cajun and Creole restaurants listed here, spread across the city rather than clustered in one strip. ZIP 77007 has the most at 6, with 77077 and 77084 close behind at 5 each, and 77002, 77008, 77041, 77044, and 77054 each holding 4. If you're picking a spot for gumbo or étouffée, start with whichever ZIP sits closest to you and call two or three to check hours and menu before you drive over, since kitchens and specials change. Of the listings, 184 include a phone number and 162 link to a website, so most entries give you a way to check ahead rather than showing up blind.

Paid placements on this page carry a Sponsored label when they're active, and right now none of these Houston listings are paying for position, so what you see reflects plain directory order, not a promoted lineup. If you own one of these restaurants and notice your address, phone, or hours are off, you can claim the listing and correct it yourself, which helps a hungry Houston diner reach the right number instead of an old one.
