The food here is absolutely wonderful. I haven't had a blackened catfish entree this spicy and delicious in well over twenty years. My wife's vegetarian jumbalaya had the perfect blend of heat and flavor, while our youngest son enjoyed his spicy chicken sandwich with fries. Our oldest son, who was the reason for being there as it was his 16th birthday, had a shrimp sandwich and alligator. We never had gator before, but it was prepared with a mouthwatering blend of spices. Have we mentioned we like spices? Okay. I'm sure I did somewhere along the way... NOLA had the incomparable RML jazz band playing there on Saturday evening, which was another reason why we celebrated the birthday there. Bands can be a bit loud, even when you're sitting back in the dining area away from the band and bar, but you have to go with it as part of the restaurant's charm.

NOLA is my go to for business meals at lunch! Great menu, great atmosphere, and great service. I took one of my new employees to NOLA for lunch and it didn’t disappoint. We were kindly greeted, quickly sat, and our waitress was very nice. Our food was delicious, hot, and as we ordered it! One NOLA Salad with Chicken, and one Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Another great lunch at NOLA!!

This was not my first trip; but, was my first in a while. Between the four of us we had the following: Fried Pickle Spears - declicious, spicy, and fried just right Red beans and rice - two servings. Both had hard, undercooked rice which was disappointing. Shrimp and Grits: Tasty. Large portioned. No complaints Shrimp Po-Boy: Well cooked, good portion, a bit underwhelming Chicken and Dumplings: Dumplings inedible. Too much broth. Chicken was tasty. For what was paid we definitely expected better food. I personally expected better as I had eaten there before and thought I knew what to expect. Jury's out on if we'll go back in the future.

Food was good and unique, not many other restaurants in the area serving cajun cuisine, however food is a little overpriced because of that. Good location.
