Lola's A Louisiana Kitchen

This has been my go-to restaurant for Thanksgiving turkeys for many years. I've ordered 1-3 deep-fried turkeys each year, ever since the restaurant was owned by Ms. Lola herself.Recently, Lola sold the restaurant to Tami Jo Martinez, and I had the pleasure of briefly meeting her while picking up my turkeys this year. I want to thank Tami for continuing the tradition of serving delicious deep-fried turkeys for Thanksgiving. Your dedication is appreciated, and I wish you all the best on your new journey as the restaurant's owner.I didn't notice any changes inside the restaurant, and that's a good thing! The atmosphere is as lively and fun as ever. If you've ever been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, this place will take you right back. It's a great spot with a fantastic bar and dining area, perfect for enjoying delicious New Orleans-style Cajun food.

I've been to this place for HH many times and enjoyed it. Always a great ambiance, friendly bartenders and regular customers, etc. However, when I invited a friend to join me for a sit down meal on a Friday night the experience was very different. The descriptions of the dishes on the menu did not match up with what we actually received especially for the price. My crab cake "dinner" was underwhelming to say the least. Two basic crab cakes on dry, wilted lettuce for $22. The crab cakes were definitely not fresh and had the consistency of wet particle board. I had to ask for salad dressing just to add flavor. My friend ordered the seasoned chicken breast which was very small and no frills placed next to a bowl of green beans that looked and tasted and looked like they came out of a can. Not fresh at all, around $17-20Our waitress was nice but someone else brought out the dishes to our table and put them down hastily then ran off without a word. Felt like we were at a common chain restaurant for that kind of service. The price of the dishes vs. the fanciful descriptions on the menu vs. what you actually get just did not satisfy, IMO. Guess I'll just stick to the cocktails and bar food in the lounge from now on.*Edited to add that the crab cakes gave me stomach issues later that evening. I knew I shouldn't have eaten them.

The smell everyone describes is true. Very very off putting. I run a bar myself, I get it but there are solutions...Food very middle of the road for me, I have a better experience at the oyster bar in stations casino for this type of menu.Food took 40 minutes, was not busy at all.1 and done

We were craving poboys and Lola's didn't disappoint! We got the roast beef, soft shell crab, and shrimp po-boys - all were fantastic! Good portions of deliciously fried seafood and beef. The bread tasted fresh. We enjoyed the sides of cole slaw, potato salad, and Cajun fries. The salad and potato salad were perfectly dressed- not too heavy. Loved the seasoning on the Cajun fries- so tasty! We also enjoyed a cup gumbo. We got everything to go as we had our dog with us so we had a picnic at nearby park.

The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the ambiance was that of a deep south restaurant off the bayou! The service was excellent!! Very attentive.

Best crab cake .... Best Crab Cake .... Best Caesar Salad.... Best Shrimp Cocktail.... Best Soft Shell Crab ! We sat at the bar .... Staff was so welcoming and helpful ! Drinks were delicious - TV's at bar .... Live music .... Highlight of my night was chef Grant presenting the most perfect fried soft shell crab ! Can't say enough about this place .... Save yourself the airfare to New Orleans .... The authentic New Orleans food is right here ! Will be back !!!!!!

The live music sets the tone for experience. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance here are phenomenal! Lola's is a must if you are craving Cajun.Craw Puppies - Crunchy outside, fluffy inside, with the most delectable Cajun aioli. Crab Cake - Now THIS is a crab cake! Mostly crab little cake, so much flavor! Shrimp and Grits - The flavors and textures were well balanced. That shrimp was pan bronzed to perfection and those gouda grits surrounded by a sea of andouille and mushroom/veggie ragout was perfection.Po boy - The Roast Beef D Brees, as featured on Triple D, did not disappoint! The roast beef was sliced perfectly and that home made gravy set it all the way off!Highly recommended if you like tasty food, good music, and great company!

We stopped in for lunch and our waiter was friendly.I ordered the fried chicken po boy. It was made fresh and the chicken was cooked well. The only thing lacking on the sandwich was the seasoning. Idk how you can say you make Louisiana style food but not season your food. A little creole seasoning on the chicken would have went a long way. My husband ordered the Tchoupitoulas he said it tasted good. But for the price they should have provided more food. Overall the food and service wasGood.

Really wanted an authentic po' boy and heard that you can find them here. When we arrived there appeared to be a big anniversary party and it was noisy and very lively. The piano man kept playing some great hits and the atmosphere was a blast. The po' boys are excellent. Both the oysters and shrimp were large, seasoned, and fried just right. You can request them dressed or undressed and the very fresh bread everything comes on was delicious. Now I know where to come for our po' boy cravings. Great patio as well perfect for our upcoming coolers temperatures.

The food here is absolutely delicious!!! The charbroiled oyster are to die for, and the etouffee with grit ... YUMMY LOVE the ambience. Great customer service. Everyone is so friendly. They have weekend entertainment. A secret local gem
