Nobile’s Restaurant and Bar

I went to Nobile’s several times for lunch during my almost 5 month stay in the area. I can honestly say I never had a bad meal never. I love the gumbo and jambalaya. Everything I ate was excellent. This place I a gemstone before going anywhere else give Nobile’s a try you will not be disappointed.

My Aunt brought me here for dinner. I had a club sandwich and my aunt had shrimp and potatoes. The food was delicious and the service quick. I didn’t try any recommended dishes because I didn’t read the reviews before we went, but I will definitely be back to try more. Recommend if you want the local experience.

What a find! Got turned on to this incredible place by a friend who knew I had an interest in great food and potential locations for film work. This place sets the bar really high! Love it, and I will return.
Great History…
In 1894, on a train trip to New Orleans, a young Italian immigrant named Lawrence Nobile, passed through Lutcher, a busy logging town, where virgin cypress lumber was being harvested. He recognized a promising business opportunity to serve the thousands of men who made their homes in camps located deep in the Louisiana cypress forest.
Within a year, Nobile’s was established as a place where the men could meet, get a cold beer or a good drink, shoot pool, play cards and have a good time. Above the bar were rooms for boarders, salesmen, and professional gamblers.
Since the lumber boom days, Nobile’s provided other services to the community. A coffee house, barber shop, shoe shine stand, and doctor’s office were all located in the building and kept Nobile’s favorite meeting place.
Nobile’s continues its long history of hospitality even today. The beautiful Victorian mahogany bar which greets restaurant customers and the interesting collectables bring back the feeling of those days when the cypress loggers raised their glasses and enjoyed a respite from their labor.

We were staying at Oak Alley Plantation and were looking for some local flavor. If you are in mood for the same, then don’t miss the chance to come here! The staff are attentive & friendly and the food is delicious. We got a homemade crab cake (really, very, very good), the gumbo, the fried fish and butter beans and the brownie a la mode. All exactly what you would hope for if you are looking for «home cookin’»! The salads and cocktails weren’t quite what I was expecting, but that had more to do with me being a Yankee than what they were serving.
So, don’t let the humble outside put you off, what’s inside is great!
