Best

A nice restaurant in Nashville, my cousin recommend this to me. I really love their foods so much.

Worst

I'm from New Orleans, so when I saw that a NO-Themed restaurant opened right down the street from my school I was pumped. Big mistake. Cajun cuisine is built on two foundations:...

Casual Greatness! 6/5/2008

I was in town with a cowoker for training and several students suggested Nolas! Great, casual, friendly environment. The owner served us - suggested the Chivito and other dishes - and willingly gave us smaller portion is so we can try them all. Pros: Service, A great value more

The owner served us - suggested the Chivito and other dishes - and willingly gave us smaller portion is so we can try them all. The price was just right and exactly what we needed at the end of a long work day! I never take the time to post reviews, but the experience was yummy, fun and friendly - I just had to write a review. Pros: Service, A great value more

Great cajun food 6/5/2008

This was my first visit to Nola's. I had small portions of both the Crawfish etoufee and the jambalya. Both were deliciious! The service was prompt and friendly and I liked the informal atmosphere. It was also great value for the money. I will definitely return the next time I am in town. more

Awesome food - everything is great 5/15/2008

This place has an absolutely incredible menu. My parents come down from St Louis and love to have the oyster po-boys because her oysters are so fresh. The shrimp pasta and the bbq shrimp apetizer are other allstars on this menu. Pros: Great seafood more

Nice fusion restaurant. 3/22/2008

This restaurant is a fusion of latin american, and cajun. I went on the recommendation of citysearch, and nashville scene. I ended up loving my sandwich. the chivito, is a steak sandwich with egg, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and an chimmichuri like Oil sauce. I loved it, very flavorful. My girlfriend got the crawfish etouffee, and she liked her's as well. I will return! Pros: Great food, good value Cons: Ambience isnt much, Westend = no parking more

Increible y delicioso!!! -- The best Uruguayan/Argentine food outside of South America 12/4/2007

As a Uruguayan living in Nashville, I had been craving the home-comforts of parillada, chivitos, milanesas, mate, and a great vibe. Nola's is the epitome of great cooking and amazing friendly service. It is an amazing place to watch a ""partido"" of ""futbol"" or soccer as ya'll say. The only thing it's missing is waves crashing on the beach. Also the best part of every month is the 29th, when Alexia cooks up her special gnochis with a delicious red sauce...a Uruguayan tradition. They also have a good selection of cervezas but nothing from my homeland, and a kick-ass desert cannelonni. All in all, BARBARO/AWESOME! Pros: Chivitos, gnochis, everything Uruguayan/Argentinian Cons: not on the beach : ( more

Expensive, Bad service 10/27/2007

I'm from New Orleans, so when I saw that a NO-Themed restaurant opened right down the street from my school I was pumped. Big mistake. Cajun cuisine is built on two foundations: 1. Being inexpensive 2. Filling you up NOLA's restaurant fails on both these fronts. Their cheapest entree starts at $8, which is an affront to NO cuisine, which you can get locally for less than $4. Secondly, i ordered their crayfish poboy, which normally is enough for a meal and a half. It barely satisfied my for one ( I made a turkey sandwich afterwards ). Finally, not only did I get an over-priced, insufficient meal, but instead of the red beans and rice side that I ordered, they gave me fries, which I did not notice until I got home. Cons: Ambience is not NO related at all, all workers were better suited to a mexican restaurant. more

Ignore Pcall's comments, they're misguided 8/6/2007

Apparently Pcall railed against Chef Alexia ""stealing everything"" and accused her of carbon copying the menu from the once great, now defunct Patrick's Cajun Restaurant. Patrick's was great in it's day, both Patty & Brandt (mainly Brandy) did a great job with the food and everything. But apparently Pcall wasn't aware that Alexia was the cook there at Patrick's. Brandt taught her everything and when he step away she handled it. It's no wonder she followed pretty much the same recipe's and menu items...it's what she had cooked for quite a while...and those of us marooned regulars from Patrick's Krewe still enjoy going into NOLA's every now & then and remembering the great days at Patrick's....God, this town needs a good regular crawfish boil during the season. Pros: Cajun food Cons: no crawfish boils more

One of the best food and speediest deliveries around! 7/17/2007

I get Nola's restaurant at least once a week and I am always impressed with their timeliness on deliveries. I very much love their crab bisque soup and their catfish fingers. I have tried to order almost everything off their menu because I think it is fun to do so. They have awesome Jambalaya with just a lot of flavor to it!! I would rate them so high because not only is the food quality awesome, but you are not going to break the bank either and I get my food delivered so quick. Getting the food delivered quick is important to me because I have ordered from other places and waiting over an hour for food is just ridiculous. Last think I want to mention is try their Bananas foster, it is d*mn good!! more

Great small cozzy and delicious 5/8/2007

I am very picky. I do not eat at places where the food score is less than 83. I love this little eatery!! Pros: ALL Cons: wine license :( more

Average cajun fare, lots of potential but needs improvement 5/6/2007

Hailing from South Lousiana I'm always on the lookout for new cajun/creole fare. I believe the chef used to work at Patricks's which explains the similarity. The food is okay but the set up of the restaurant could be a lot better. Being on West End and so close to vandy and in a stip mall, I really think this restaurant would work a lot better with a walk up counter, more variety on the menu, and slightly lower prices with more of a focus on the poboys. Instead its focused on more of a sit down restuarant which makes it seem very empty and weird. The shrimp poboy is exactly like it was at Patricks and it could definitely use some more shrimp. The jambalaya and etoufee are both pretty decent but not worth the price. I really think they should offer a hot roast beef poboy on the menu, that is by far my favorite poboy, simple as keeping some sliced roast beef simmering in a crockpot of au jus all day served with sweet savory sloppy gravy. I've come to terms that I'll never find Lousiana cuisine quite like it is in Lousiana and this place does come in a close 2nd behind Nooley's in the Farmers market but I think the general theme of the restaurant should be changed. I recommend the owner change it to more of a setup like Back To Cuba Cafe with a counter/bar and cater more towards the walk-in type crowd. Pros: pretty good shot at lousiana food Cons: ambience, parking, price, restaurant setup more

'NOT CRAWFISH ETOUFEE!1!!!! 5/2/2007

i HAPPENED TO SEE THE ""cAJUN' MONIKER WHILE I WAS SLOWED IN THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFICK RETURNING H OME LAST EVENING. THE MENU WAS ENTICING. I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THE CRAWFISH ETOUFEE ($10.00) AS TAKE-OUT TO SEE IF THIS WAS A PLACE THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE ME FOR SOME OF THE EVENING MEALS THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR WHEN I CANNOT COOK FOR MY CHILDREN. Pros: FRIENDLY WORKERS. Cons: BAD FOOD-- WON'T BE BACK! more

Hooodogie....Just Like Louisiana. 4/27/2007

Coming from Alexandria,Louisiana it's hard to find a restaurant in the South that actually lives up to the hype of ""real authentic cajun food"". Nola's is truly a delight. From the Jambalaya to the Crawfish Etouffee, you could'nt ask for a more back home taste.Love the inside layout. Beautiful paintings on the wall displaying the heart of New Orleans,and a nice cozey atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been nicer! I really had not had many plates from South America to tell the truth but, the chivito has got to be the best sandwhich I've ever eaten Hands Down!!! and I cant even say it right but the Parrilliada is to die for! more
