★★★☆☆ 3.0 Robert Heffner · Sep 2025

BLUF: food and server were amazing, and even have Gluten free (GF) options! I don't want to unfairly rate this restaurant... we went on Saturday night, which was game night... it was ridiculously loud... there was a DJ and everyone was screaming in their groups to socialize.... you'd have thought you were in a wallflower club (not a dance club, and stilettos not required 😉).... not sure the atmosphere outside of Saturday night, but if you're looking for amazing Cajun food and service with a smile and don't mind a loud crowd, this is the spot! Even have hookah available! I had the red beans and rice (GF and delicious)!

First and last time. I drove a little over an hour based on reviews. I’ll start by saying I was seated immediately. The atmosphere is nice. They even had a guy playing the sax! Waitress was nice, but not attentive. Now, let’s hop into this food. Well pictures are worth 1000 words, that I’m sure google won’t allow me to type. Wasn’t advised it wasn’t any sides until my food came out. I’m not certain what happen, but I won’t give it another chance to happen. Due to the waitress not being attentive, it’s no point than complaining. It’s money, it can always be made back. The good part my husband enjoyed his shrimp pasta. I personally did not taste any Nola flavors. I guess Nola left the building. I hope the establishment does better.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Daniel Coppens · Apr 2025

Really bummed by our experience. Was a big fan of the Broad River restaurant, except for the location. So we were very excited when something opened closer. Friendly service but just odd things going on. From being asked if we wanted plastic or silverware for dining in to the booth tables being over a foot away from the benches. Just very odd seating, so seak a table if you go. We went for lunch and there was only two other tables seated, yet it took over 30 mins to get the food. That's where it really went downhill. I ordered the marinated chicken breast sandwich but what came out was nothing of the sort. When I noticed a bun concealing what looked to be fried oysters I notified the server that I ordered the chicken. He went to the back and upon returning confirmed that it was i

Food is always good as well as customer service, we enjoy sitting at the bar. Lele is always so nice & her customer service is awesome. We have been 3 times in the past 3wks & she already remembers us & our order.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Miss V · Sep 2025

Food is delicious. Most of time. Every now and then you can tell when cook changes. My reason for low stars is staff. It changes quickly and I have to say I have only had two people that seem friendly , welcoming etc. New location they are always huddled up at e d of bar talking and watching their phones.just look at you upon entering instead of friendly greeting. I come here a lot. I love friend crawfish tails. (Except change in portion size all the time ) but they don't interact unless they know you. (Usually another employee or precious employee) I sat 3p mins or more on a to go order not offered a drink or told what the happy hour drink specials were. I want to give 5 stars.. but their servers need to be more friendly.
