    Our food was good. We tried a few appetizers and entrees and everything that came to the table tasted good. The service was not very good. Our server made a recommendation for an entree that has been sold out all day, they then didn’t let us know that the entree we ordered had also sold out and we had to flag them down to ask about it after all the other entrees had been out for about 10 minutes. Our drink order came out and one drink was wrong and one of the frozen drinks came without a straw when the other ones had one. Not a major thing but in addition to the other food related issues, it just contributed to the poor service.

    Love the food I got the queso and the red beans and rice. I got the Sazerac and the painkiller. Those 2 drinks were so good and definitely will be back!

    I'd heard this was "the spot" for cajun faire. I ordered -safe and easy - the muffuletta and upgraded to the gumbo as a side. While the food was edible, I would not consider it Cajun. It's only cajun-ish because of the name, ingredients and description of the food on the menu. I'm from Louisiana and visit home often and this spot would not stand a chance in the Big Easy. I guess that's why it's called Lil Easy. I'm not saying don't try it, I'm simply managing expectations.

    DELICIOUS food, HORRIFIC service. Our food continually kept getting ran to the wrong table, and our appetizer (their yum hush puppies) came out well after our bill. Speaking of the bill, they presented us with the wrong table's and initially charged us $40 more than our bill. We could not find our waiter if our lives depended on it. Unfortunately, the food just can't make up for the complete lack of care the staff had for our experience

    Lil Easy has such a great atmosphere and amazing food. We got the grilled oysters and crawfish queso as well as a pound of crawfish and the crawfish duo. Everything was amazing! The crawfish boil was very spicy in my opinion (but still edible and very tasty) and there is no way to control the heat level when you order. For as many dishes and drinks as we got, the value was verrryyy reasonable. The parking situation was not bad at all, either. The inside dining room to the left is not the most attractive space, next time we will likely get a reservation for the patio. We love this place!
