Lil Dizzy's Cafe food is always hot and straight from the pot!
We have a killer craft cocktail menu. Come by and try something new!
At Lil’ Dizzy’s, producing great fried chicken is a matter of historical pride. Founder Wayne Baquet, Sr learned the restaurant trade from his father Eddie Baquet, Sr namesake of the legendary 7th Ward restaurant Eddie’s. Wayne, Sr retired in November 2020. Lil’ Dizzy’s Cafe is the only Baquet-owned restaurant still going, and it is now owned and operated by Wayne, Jr and his wife Arkesha. They are making the Creole-Soul tradition proud.
After stepping away from the restaurant industry in 2002, Wayne got restless and began to think about opening a new restaurant. At that time, Wayne Baquet’s grandson, Zachary Baquet, was a talented trumpeter in the band at St. Augustine High School. Wayne decided to give his new idea to his grandson’s namesake.

OrderWe stopped here while taking our kids on a college tour of Xavier University. The hospitality was amazing. We ordered the fried chicken, catfish, Mac N cheese, yams and greens. EVERYTHING was good and my daughter is a Mac N cheese snob but she loved it! Don't be fooled by the outside, go in and enjoy the food!!!!
My friends and I were visiting from Houston Texas. I would move to New Orleans as long as I got to eat here every week. The food is to die for! It's so fresh and flavorful. Great southern home cooking. The staff were really friendly. They have so much southern hospitality. If I could rate 10 stars I definitely would!!!!
We were here for a week and went twice...if that tells you anything. Where do I start. Some of the best gumbo I've ever had. Same for the greens, Mac and cheese, and fried chicken. And the bread pudding. Don't get me started on the bread pudding.
The food was good, Everybody was so friendly, the chicken was fresh and golden and it smelt as if you walked into your grandma house, we're from California we're everything is amazing, so this was surprisingly amazing as well, must visit.
This place had impeccable customer service. We had 6 in our party and everyone had pipping hot food since they brought it out as it is cooked instead of waiting until everyone's order is ready and bringing it out together.
