Stopped in Pensacola for the night on a drive from Orlando to Houston. Decided to stop by this place. Nice, quiet place with the nicest hosts. I love gumbo and usually have a hard time finding a good one. I regret only getting the cup, I should have ordered the bowl! With this cold weather that chicken and andouille gumbo really hit the spot. My burger also was huge and full of flavor. My family ordered some seafood baskets with fish and shrimp that did not disappoint. Good service, clean restrooms and great food. If I'm ever back in Pensacola I will stop by once again!

I love this place. We were in Pensacola for 3 days last week and had dinner there twice. It would have been 3 times if I had gone there first. It was very delicious and they were an extremely good host. Our dinners were awesome and very delicious. I highly recommend NOLA the Cajun flavors are real and authentic. Love this place.

This was our first time dining at this restaurant, and we had such a wonderful experience! We sat on the covered back patio, which had a lovely, and relaxing view. We ordered the Fried crab claws, Fried shrimp seafood basket, the Any Two-Seafood Basket with shrimp and oysters, and the Alligator sausage po-boy. Everything was delicious, but the fried crab claws, hushpuppies, and shrimp were definitely my favorites! The seafood was perfectly fried, light, and crispy. The casual atmosphere made it easy to unwind, and relax. The staff was mostly friendly during our visit and answered our few questions while ordering. We’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it for anyone craving NOLA style seafood. They also seem to have a great drink menu and even all for snowcones. I didn't partake in either this visit, but I definitely will next time.

I was very disappointed, I moved back to Gulf breeze from Louisiana and although the food was good the hospitality was not. I came with an older friend that requires help being mobile, there was no other option but the 13 steps up to the restaurant. It was good but we won't be back.
