Observed four dead roaches in pooling oil under fryers. Water leaking from pipe and/or faucet/handle. Hand washing leaking from wall by back door. Worn, torn and/or soiled floors/carpeting. Floor worn out and peeling in front of reach-in coolers. Floor under fryers soiled with pooling oil. Roach activity present as evidenced by live roaches found.

I finally tried this place, and I wasn't disappointed! I haven't had red beans and rice in a while,…read moreand I must say, it took me back to my childhood. The red beans were delicious, and they gave a nice portion with plenty of sausage, as you can see in the picture. I also ordered what I believe was a pound of brisket, I went the day before, so I can't remember the exact size. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of seasoning. It was delicious! The cornbread was yummy too. Everyone makes gumbo differently these days. The gumbo had what tasted like a poultry flavor. I couldn't pinpoint it at first, but I recognized the taste. It had a nice flavor overall. My only issue was the lack of protein. I only saw one or two small pieces of meat. Thinking back, it was probably chicken gumbo because it wasn't seafood gumbo, but I didn't ask, and the menu only said "gumbo." Overall, the staff were nice and helpful, and the food was good. I'll definitely be back!

The food is delicious, and the service is fast and excellent. I love their shrimp dishes!!!read more

We arrived in Pensacola around 1pm on St Patrick's Day. Hoped to eat at the Irish restaurant but…read morethere was a 2.5 hour wait! On Yelp we located this place and thought crawfish sounded great! The problem.....once we arrived we found out they only serve crawfish Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We arrived on Sunday so we missed out. We tried the boudin balls, fried pickles and grilled gumbo salad. The food was fine - fried pickles salty and hot, boudin balls had a more liver taste than we have had in Louisiana but still tasty and the salad was good but pretty basic - romaine with a few tomato wedges, fried okra and grilled shrimp and tiny crawfish tails. All cooked perfectly. The house wine was awful. I would suggest they step it up a notch! Good News - they have a large outdoor seating area and are DOG FRIENDLY.

My son and I walked in and were greeted by two very sweet ladies at the front counter. Shayniece, the Executive Chef, was one of them. My son had never tried Jamaican food before so she gave us samples of the ox tail & jerk chicken. We ordered it with the suggested side of rice. (Both were phenomenal) While we waited, I was offered a complimentary cup of their rum punch, which was super tasty. The restaurant itself was very clean with booth seating and some stools up at the bar, where we waited. They also have tables in a covered patio area out front. Wish I had better photos to share but we ate right out of the to-go containers, so presentation isn't what it deserves. I can't wait to share this review with my friends so go back with a bigger group! They have a meal that feeds 5 for under $40 which is a great deal if you're on a budget.

So, I ordered online. Mini chicken curry, rice & peas and cabbage and it was surprisingly better than I expected. I'd def order again. Also, I have my eye on the brown stewed chicken on my way home. I recommend. Oh, it may smell like weed when you walk in. You'll get used to it quickly. Hahahahaha Happy eating!

We have passed this place many times and finally decided to try it…read more Going by all of the reviews I thought we were in for a treat.. When walking in you have to order at the front counter and pay in advance. There was a drink special 2 for $10 for a slushy alcohol drink. There was 4 different flavors to pick from. I had strawberry and it wasn't bad. We ordered some wings , they weren't bad but small compared to some places we have been to.The sauce was ok. They give a ounce or 2 of blue cheese with the wings Got the combo which came with fries and a drink.My Mom decided to try the Philly. It came with some fries and a drink too. She said it was ok. It didn't have much flavor. It was quiet when we went in. Pretty big dining area. TV was on . There are No waitresses. So when the food is ready they call out your name. The menu selection wasn't that big, I thought they would have more dinner specials, especially being a soul food restaurant. If your looking for soul food this may not be what your looking for, it's not what I expected. Would we recommend this place or go back? Highly unlikely

I ordered the 10 piece bone in lemon pepper wings with ranch and a side of collard greens…read more The wings were really good. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated with plenty of lemon pepper seasoning without being too salty. The ranch on the side tied everything together perfectly. The collard greens were a nice surprise too. Full of flavor, tender, and tasted like they'd been cooked low and slow the right way. The spot has a casual laid back feel, and the food came out hot and fresh. Staff was friendly and service moved quickly. Definitely a solid wing spot and somewhere I'd come back to when I want comfort food that actually hits the spot.

Came to Restaurant NOLA with my family during their oyster happy hour, and wow the oysters were…read moreincredibly fresh and the perfect size! I ordered three dozen total one dozen raw, one dozen charbroiled, and one dozen with BBQ sauce. Our party of 25 ended up ordering well over 50 dozen oysters, so they unfortunately ran out before I got a chance to try the BBQ oysters. I was able to enjoy the raw and charbroiled oysters, and I definitely preferred the raw. They were incredibly fresh, briny, and clean tasting. The charbroiled oysters were still good, but cooking them brought out more of the fishy flavor, which just isn't my personal preference. I also tried the shrimp and grits, and they were easily one of my favorite dishes of the meal. They were rich, creamy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. The crawfish étouffée was just as impressive comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. One thing that really stood out was the service. It's not easy managing a party of 25, especially one ordering over 50 dozen oysters, but the staff handled everything so well. They stayed organized, kept a great attitude throughout the meal, and made sure food and drinks came out as smoothly as possible despite how busy they were. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Between the fresh oysters, delicious food, and attentive service, this is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to the next time I'm in Pensacola.

Ordered GEAUX GEAUX Shrimp had potential but was oil based based.

Totally missed the New Orleans mark for me. Service was great
