Les Sisters Southern Kitchen

The fried chicken is great. The shrimp sandwiches are assume. The catfish is incredible and the pork chops are excellent. But the very, very best is the buttermilk pie. It melts in your mouth and there is nothing quite like it. On the down side, the burgers and hot links definitely aren’t Cajun.They’re not even flavorful. The gumbo and jambalaya also miss the high mark for true New Orleans taste, but do tease the tongue. It’s a bit pricey for the quaint atmosphere and the food portions, but well worth the occasional treat once you know what satisfies your taste buds!

This is a unique restaurant serving southern (some might say Cajun but I don’t) style cooking. It’s a little bit of a hole-in-the-wall kind of place and decor is non-existent. The waitresses have been there forever it seems and don’t care too much about service. BUT, the chicken is fresh and hot and pretty good but a little cooked a little dark for me. Their specialties for dessert are buttermilk pie and cobbler. Both overpriced. At least I can say I tried buttermilk pie—it was strange.

I came here with some friends for one of my birthday celebrations on the recommendation of my friend Steven, the host. Being a SGV native, the OTHER Valley is completely foreign to me. So I was very excited to try this Cajun place with my friends from the Valley. Les Sisters is known for their fried chicken, you see. But, I’m not really a fried chicken kinda girl. No, I wanted fried oysters or catfish. So I ordered the fried catfish and hush puppies with much anticipation. Meh, I’ve had better. It was good, but no way am I driving my ass all the back to BFE Chatsworth for this. Not that I know how to cook cajun food, but me thinks its all in the spices. This one just didn’t have a kick to it. I tried by dousing it with hot sauce, various hot sauces actually, and blended it with the tartar sauce and fresh lemons. But, it just didn’t do anything for me. I did get to try good ole southern sweet tea for the first time. Hmm, I’m a through and through California girl and just prefer good ole unsweetened ice tea with a slice a lemon in it. The sweetened tea was just too much for me. I needed a glass or two of water afterwards. Its times like these that I wish 5 C’s Louisiana Seafood in Covina was still open – I found them at the Long Beach Bayou Fest this past summer and thankfully got to eat there at lest twice before they closed down in July/Aug ’09. My friends ordered other items on the menu. They seemed to enjoy their food. I didn’t really ask for particulars since they were all freaked out that I constantly take pictures of everything. So I had to be chill. : We did split a peach cobbler with a dash of vanilla ice cream and it was just so so. It didn’t taste fresh. I’m patting myself on the back for venturing all the way out to Chatsworth! I thought for sure I’d have fallen off the edge of the earth, but I eventually made it back to LA proper safely.

The fried chicken is great. the garnel sandwiches are accepted. the cat is unbelievable and the black laces are excellent. but the best is the buttermilk cake. it melts in your mouth and there is nothing quite similar. on the bottom are the burger and hot left definitiw not cajun. they are not even tasteful. the rubber bears and jambalaya also miss the high brand for the true new orleans taste, but do they tease the string. it is a bit expensive for the scenic atmosphere and the food proportions, but well worth the occasional tasty when they know what their taste buds are satisfied!
