Cafe Nola - Steak, waffle and eggs - Seafood Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

See all

First time visiting and unfortunately will definitely be the last. We were the only ones on Saturday afternoon, was seated promptly. However, it went down hill after that. I tried ordering turkey wings? Turkey necks and oysters and neither were available so I opted for steak medium well, red beans and green beans; my daughter ordered the loaded potato with pulled pork (flavored amazingly) and mac and cheese (absolutely horrible) my husband ordered salmon and shrimp, dirty rice and green beans. Steak came out the 1st time, it was well done.... Sent back for a 2nd time; came out and this time the steak is a different cut where it's thick on one side and thin on the other side and it was done and the thick side RAW at this point I'm irritated and it was sent back and I decided not to get anything else. The green beans were definitely from the can with no flavor. My husband's salmon was ok, the red beans were good and the dirty rice as well. My daughter's food came out and although the pulled pork was good the rest was a no go which threw the entire meal off. It took forever for the food to come although we were the only ones! I tried my best to be positive in it all but it just did not work out and I definitely will not be giving it another try when I'm back visiting, read more

On a Saturday night it's a vibe, but not my vibe because I'm 25 now (I said what I said). I'm not a fan of bounce music like that, but I do know and understand this is the music for a certain crowd. I'll be back to try them out on a Tuesday or Wednesday to see if I like that vibe better. I only tried the fries and they were delicious. Lol. read more

Came on Mother's Day and had a reservation for 11:30 we are walking out at 1:16 with 0 food every other table was served and we where the biggest group. Told there was a "mix up in the kitchen" we just walked out. The service is just slow and unorganized read more

Cafe Nola - Seafood Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

A group of friends and I came to cafe Nola on a Thursday evening for their line dancing night. We got there around 7 p.m., and there was already a thick crowd of people enjoying their meals/drinks and line dancing! Every line dance you can think of (and probably many you've never heard of) was done that night. I learned sooooo many new ones, and I appreciated that there's an instructor for some of the dances. It's a fun night of no judgment and good vibes. Great DJ as well! But there's more! The food and drinks are also great here! They have a happy hour until 8 p.m.! $5 well shots, rum punch, and I think another cocktail. I actually just had an unsweetened tea, which comes in a large drinking cup. I ordered the salmon with green beans and potato salad, which I think was about $21. The salmon was so well-seasoned and wasn't dry at all! The green beans and potato salad were also good. It really felt like a summer cookout at your favorite Auntie's house. I also tried a shrimp that a friend ordered, and it was also very well seasoned and flavorful. Although the place was very busy, our waitress, Jamari, was very friendly and checked on us regularly! We didn't wait long for the food to come out either. I'll def be back. Maybe I'll come early next time, because the parking lot is small, and judging by the number of people who knew every single line dance, they have some faithful regulars that come out. This is a great place to gather with friends, celebrate special occasions, or just to have fun solo dolo. I hear they have trap bingo one night, comedy/open mic on another night, and karaoke on Fridays. My apologies in advance because I will be up there singing my heart out on a Friday in the very near future! read more

Cafe Nola - Salmon with green beans and potato salad - Seafood Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Ok so this is my second time coming. I came for lunch and had the cabbage and yams with rib tips. Everything was sooo good. I'm so happy whenever I can get rib tips when I'm out because people dont really have them. I came again tonight with my husband and had the charbroiled blue crabs and we got the Chicago style rib tips over fries. Once again, it was amazing. The crabs were sooooooo damn good y'all. And we really enjoyed the rib tips again. Definitely putting this on the list! read more

10/10. From the hospitality/customer service to the delicious full plates of food. We ordered the turkey leg with mac and cheese and greens. Also the steak with potato salad and greens. This will be the best place you can go in the NOLA for soulfood. Highly recommend and affordable prices. read more

Very cool place. Was clean, and the staff was friendly. The ribs & tips were fantastic, and the red beans were very flavorful. I enjoyed the flavor of the mac n cheese as well. Will return for sure and looking forward to checking out more of the menu! read more

Cafe Nola - Ribs, Rib Tips, Red Beans & Rice, Mac n Cheese - Seafood Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

Definitely overpriced! You do not get your moneys worth! They give you chicken wings that look like they killed a pigeon. They barely give you enough ketchup and ranch! I paid $34.00 for 3 Tito's and cranberry and they only gave us 1 napkins for our drinks.. Never Again! read more

Hire cooks and worker who are willing to work there full hours store shouldn't be closing at 9:30 if it says it close at 11:00 online

If there's one thing the owners of Cafe Nola excel at, it's advertising. No matter where I am on the Westbank, I can always spot a sign at a major intersection drawing me in. Finally, I gave in and stopped by. The restaurant had just opened, so I was the only guest for a while, but it didn't feel empty. The place has a great vibe--the music kept me moving in my seat and singing along between bites. There's even a jukebox, so I got to play DJ for a bit. Larissa, my server, was friendly and upbeat, adding to the lively atmosphere. I heard they're hosting a Sunday brunch soon, and I just might have to swing by again. read more

Overpriced Drinks! Reasonably priced on the menu but an automatic gratuity of 18% on ALL checks - means one $12.00 cocktail adds up to a $16.00 tab.... It's a 8oz plastic cup. read more

So they charge you for take out which is understandable, however the menu prices are different from what is rung up! The young lady at the register has a very nasty mouth. She curses in front of customers which is very unprofessional. When I asked the manager about the different prices, he states he doesn't know, it could be taxes, which I implied that taxes should be added after it and he stated well I don't know. How you run a restaurant and don't know anything about your prices! Then they ran out of food. I overheard him telling a customer they were out of steaks. I spent $60 for two meals and the portion sizes are horrible! This place will not be open long! This is not the way you run a business! read more

He waited on us at our table and helped us decide what to order and brought the food out quickly and kept up with us throughout our meal and afterwards. Very pleasant experience. read more

Not all your food sucked, just the main dish. Your meat was disgusting, Then to justify the poor meat and the 25.00 dollar rip-off you poured some masty barbecue sauce on all of it. read more

Wife wanted to try this place out and boy were we disappointed! DJ was loud and ear splinting, did not have half of the food listed on the menu, child sized portions for an adult. The prices were not comparable to the portions served. Serving staff were inattentive! I don't expect this place to be in business long read more
