Elizabeth's Restaurant Review:


Elizabeth’s is that restaurant in Everytown, USA, that never changes because the locals won’t let it. Years ago, a cadre of neighborhood regulars looked to the place for breakfasts and brunches of praline bacon (sweet, salty and crunchy with pecans and bursting with pork fat), grillades and grits, and calas, the old-fashioned Creole rice cakes. But the dinner menu also has made its reputation. Fried chicken livers with pepper jelly and blue cheese oysters compete with the old favorites, such as grilled catfish and Southern fried chicken. We also recommend the paneed pork chops with shrimp and brown gravy. Desserts are unimaginative but still tasty --- all the usual delights are available, like cheesecake and pecan pie. The wine list is a bit limited, but covers all necessary bases. Most selections are offered by the glass or bottle. Whatever you choose for your meal, be sure to follow the slightly tongue-in-cheek sign on the wall: “Shut up and eat!”
