Lizzy's & Mr. C's Cajun Cafe

Went to dinner with a few of my lady friends after seeing a show in the city, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal day. I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.

It wasn’t a good experience.
The food was not tasty, we waited 30 minutes for a fried chicken that doesn’t taste like a fried chicken but a lightly flour dusting drumsticks. The potatoes salad has too much vinegar, the baked beans tasted weeks old. The lettuce in the complementary salad were not fresh and were turning brown, the bbq ribs were not barbecue but baked with store bought bbq sauce. We had flying bugs during our lunch and the room wasn’t clean. I couldn’t wait to leave. I paid more than $60 for two. Don’t recommend this place.

The service at this place really touched me. Such warm and thoughtful people. The jambalaya had a beautiful complexity and just the right heat, and the fried shrimp had a lovely texture.

Always wanted to eat here but never seem to get the timing right, a friend took him here for a Sunday brunch, and we ordered the two-way combos with ribs and links, potato salad, each of which come with a little piece of bread.Both the ribs and the links were outstanding, slow cooked, smoky, tender, crispy on the edges, and the sauce was excellent. We didn't eat inside though because they were catering for an event, and it was interesting to see a bunch of super well dressed people that looked like they were from down south or had down south roots enjoying some food.Staff was super nice, the lady that served us was a real sweetheart, and the overall experience was excellent. Highly recommended for the barbecue. I'm going to go back and try some of the other things!

With some restaurants you can detect how much the chef cares about each item they serve. At Lizzy's, I can tell that someone cares a lot about the fried okra, the quality of their catfish and the overall flavor of their bbq chicken. These items were delightful even though the catfish desperately needed flavor that the tartar sauce packet could not help with. I detected that nobody at Lizzy's cares about the potato salad, the fries, the macaroni salad, or the "grilled" veggies. The "grilled" veggies were wet corn, lima beans, and carrots that had never seen a grill in their lives. The reason I won't be back is how I was charged.The final amount that was charged for my takeout order did not match what I wrote on the receipt. An additional $4 was added on the tip line. After exchanging emails with Elizabeth Evans about the overcharge I was told a story about a "merchant fee" and she offered a cash refund as a courtesy. It is not courteous to make customers go back to the restaurant to correct a mistake and help the business avoid a paper trail of this dishonest practice.The amount on the receipt is the amount I agreed to pay and that is that!

So nice and welcoming, they gave us salad and cheesy bread and snickers on the house and were so nice, music was very good, and the food is easily filling. Great experience

Mr. C is so hospitable and the BBQ is delicious!

Really Good food Excellent CustomerService. I love the food Presentation.I highly Recommend this Place of Business.

Liz and Curtis catered food to my family when I had a death in my family. The varieties and portions were very accommodating and tasty to say the least. Very cost effective and seasoned to taste, definitely from the "Big Easy" (New Orleans). This is not only the best Cajun restaurant of choice in Albany but also in the San Francisco Bay Area.......Try them you won't be disappointed....Sharon LaQue Jones Benoit

The food, service, and lively atmosphere in this restaurant are truly representative of the Cajun culture. My husband and I loved our experience and will be returning with friends.

I got really excited until I realized it’s not vegetarian friendly :( its the bay area, they would do really well if they added vegetarian options
