Came here with my boss for lunch when were in the area. One guy behind the bar and waiting tables but fast service for lunch. I had red bean, rice and sausage soup. My boss had the gumbo. Really good stuff! We were both very impressed. Looked like they had great drink specials too during Bronco and Saints games. I will be back!

Great menu items… chicken wings, boiled shrimp plate, fried crawfish tails, crawfish etoufee(grandma’s recipe), red beans and rice(off the hook), man I can go on and on but you get the idea right. New Orleans for real! I’ve been coming here since they opened and the food, atmosphere and CUSTOMERSERVICE is grand. Make sure you tell Henry that KC sent you and see what happens. Peace!

Very good. Service is okay although we felt second fiddle to a larger group that arrived immediately behind us. I’m from Louisiana and think the gumbo and po boy are great for Denver. We’ll be back.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge and this is by far the best Cajun food in Denver. I also love the bartenders and the atmosphere. Just like Louisiana: fun, delicious food, laid back, and everyone is super friendly.

Awesome new bar. The food is extremely good, staff and patrons are consistently friendly, and they have plenty of TV’s to catch your favorite game. This is what neighborhood bars should aspire to.

Being from the South, about an hour from Louisiana, I’ve had a fair share of Cajun food. This is legit. I had the crawfish etoufee(Grandma’s recipe) and my girlfriend had the red beans and rice with Andouille sausage. Both were amazing. A little bit less spicy than I anticipated, so we threw on a little bit of Louisiana Hot Sauce. The atmosphere here is very cozy and warm, complete with a jukebox in the corner. It was my birthday and the owner bought my girlfriend and I shots, which was both surprising and much appreciated. If you’re ever in the area(which we were after going to the museum of nature) then I definitely recommend this place!

I went here for a second time and it was even better. Had a bowl of gumbo and hurricanes. We chatted with the owner Henry, and he was so hospitable. I just wish NOLA was right around the corner. I’d be there daily.

This is the real deal when it comes to cajun food. I lived in NOLA for five years, and this is by far the best cajun food I’ve had in Colorado. What a welcome addition to the scene! We went on Monday, so of course I got the red beans and rice. It was perfectly seasoned and spiced. The menu sticks to just the classics: gumbo, crawfish etoufee, red beans and rice, and po-boys. We definitely want to come back and try the po-boys! We got hurricanes, and those were also the real deal… the best hurricanes I’ve had in Denver. Their space is small and cozy. They have some great drink specials on their menu during Saints games.

We loved the ambiance and the owner. He was genuine and welcoming. Our favorite dish was the red beans and rice. Was smoky and had just the right flavors(we tried the etouffe n gumbo as well).

In heaven! The gumbo is freaking fantastic(gumbo is my thing)! I went in for the first time today. I’ve been curious for some time now. Maggie waited on me on a mellow Friday afternoon. She was very sweet, informative and stood by the product. She informed me that the gumbo was only made by the owner and is fresh daily. It shows!!! I also had the red beans and rice(swoon). I will come back until they get sick of me. We need more places in Denver like this, or not, we can keep this place a special spot. So come here! Cheers!

The red beans and rice were delicious! All the stars are for the beans and rice. The ambience feels authentic, and there are nice tv’s for football. Etouffe wasn’t special; it was kinda gloppy. I’ll be back to try the gumbo.

Gumbo and Jumbalaya are amazinggggggggggg. Great atmosphere and definitely an upgrade from when it was a coffee shop. I was super surprised how crowded it was on a Wednesday night. Definitely needed a place like this in our neighborhood.

I really enjoyed this place. The red beans and rice was phenomenal. According to the two people with me, the gumbo and po-boys were good but not as good as the red rice and beans. I also really enjoyed the fried pickles. Only down point: the service was a little slow as the poor waiter had a full restaurant completely to himself.

I thought the portions were small, and overpriced. My oyster poboy had maybe 4 oysters. For 14.95 it should have been double the amount. I really didn’t taste any spice either. The owner was there the whole time. He just ignored us and didn’t say a word. It was a lunch hour Wednesday. We were the only people there. The menu is very limited. Didnt see any desserts. The waitress was friendly and helpful. I don’t think would give it another try.

This place has the best Creole and Cajun food I have ever had outside of Louisiana. The handful of menu items are done well, and done consistently. The atmosphere is casual, and the people are friendly. We’ve made this our usual neighborhood place on Fridays and it never disappoints! Personal favourite is the gumbo(with shrimp) and the fried pickles.

I love Cajun/Creole food! I’ve been to New Orleans several times and have tried most Cajun spots in the metro area, so I feel like I’ve got a good taste for this kind of food. Nola does a good job of bringing New Orleans to Denver. The atmosphere is awesome, the clientele is about as diverse as it gets, they play good music on the juke box, and they’ve got a great bar. This is one of the few places you can find Abita on tap. This place does not have a huge menu, but what they do have is done VERY well. I’d prefer this over a more comprehensive menu of mediocre food, which I’ve seen at other restaurants. I tried the Gumbo and Crawfish Étouffée. Gumbo is great, but the Étouffée was the best I’ve ever had(including in New Orleans). I can’t say enough about this bowl of heavenly Goodness. I will definitely be back for more!

This place is amazing! Everyone needs to go immediately and eat their faces off. Special shout out to Liz and Maggie who are charming, knowledgeable and make Henry’s neighborhood joint a definite standout!!!

Henry recently added poboys to the menu and they are outstanding! He must be getting the french bread delivered from Leidenheimer’s– it’s that good. My fave is the roast beef poboy. This delicious recreation of the best Arnauds poboy is amazing. Messy and covered in brown gravy you may need a fork to finish it. Plus you can get you some Zapps Voodoo or Crawgators go with your poboy! Baybay!
