Lola's

I only docked one star because the food arrived lukewarm. Otherwise, full of flavor, spice, & warmth, especially my red beans & rice, & shrimp (nicely seasoned & grilled) & grits with deep dark sauce. The po boy roast beef debris was good but dry with the au jus on the side (my husband's idea). Part of the roll was soggy. Accompanying thin fries were crispy & dippable (ketchup, ranch, creole sauce, mayo), though. Definitely save room for Bananas Foster. Not made in front of you, but still stands up to those fancy steakhouses. Our server was kind, accommodating, & patient...maternal, even.

I chose this place for my solo birthday 2pm lunch. I read the reviews before going and I must say that they are spot on with the good and the bad. The bad- VERY SMALL portions for the cost. I ordered the shrimp catfish and grits. No grits under the gravy, it’s not a bowl and it was only two spoons of grits located in the middle of the dish as seen in the picture. I was SHOCKED not only because it was $32 but because “Who Does That” It was a WTH moment for sure. I had to pay $10 more for grits that already should’ve been on the plate. The grits were really good and I wanted more.. $42 is insane tho. The jambalaya was nothing special and as you can see one sausage. It tasted like a quick home meal. The bread pudding and ice cream was delicious. $82 was my total before the tip was added.

Food was delicious. You do have to plan in advance. Either plan to wait or place a reservation. Also, I appreciate the serving portions.

The worst 70 bucks I've ever spent. I got a ceaser salad, some chicken wings some crab cakes and some shrimp and gritz. Ceaser dressing was unique. Not good. Chickens had very good spice and flavor but weren't good because they are breaded and like soggy. The crab cakes looked and felt like they were from yesterday pr a week ago someparts hard like a hockey puck some soft. Shrimp and gritz were good so at least they finished strong. Kinda. Prices are outta control and the size of this shrimp n gritz for the price is crazy. My 70 bucks could have been better spent

This place has a bar, a large inside dining room, and a large outdoor seating area. There was live music in the bar when we were here. The Roman Trio had gumbo, etouffee, and red beans and rice. It was very tasty.

I ordered the shrimp and grits and they were outstanding!!! Grilled Oysters delicious. We were comparing them to NOLAs oysters, and almost as close. My husband ordered the catfish and said it was good but was a little breaded. Overall, the food was very tasty.

It will say, the host was an amazing woman! I loved her energy, she showed me around and the vibes and ambiance was great! I wouldn't recommend going for food. Honestly, the food came out cold, the crab artichoke dip tasted like hot tuna and it was gross. The shrimp and grits would have been better if I saw steam coming from my bowl but it was luke warm more on the cold side. They shouldn't serve meals, they should just have it more like a lounge vibe with a few appetizers minus the artichoke. The drinks were great, the guy performing was great, like I said everyone was great but the food is a no for me.

Crab dip and shrimp and grits were amazing, loved it and would recommend and the service was fast and friendly. They also had live music!

We stopped in for lunch and our waiter was friendly. I ordered the fried chicken po boy. It was made fresh and the chicken was cooked well. The only thing lacking on the sandwich was the seasoning. Idk how you can say you make Louisiana style food but not season your food. A little creole seasoning on the chicken would have went a long way. My husband ordered the Tchoupitoulas he said it tasted good. But for the price they should have provided more food. Overall the food and service was Good.

Best crab cake .... Best Crab Cake .... Best Caesar Salad.... Best Shrimp Cocktail.... Best Soft Shell Crab ! We sat at the bar .... Staff was so welcoming and helpful ! Drinks were delicious - TV's at bar .... Live music .... Highlight of my night was chef Grant presenting the most perfect fried soft shell crab ! Can't say enough about this place .... Save yourself the airfare to New Orleans .... The authentic New Orleans food is right here ! Will be back !!!!!!

Ambiance - perfect for any occasion. Casual dining or date night, they are just right. We sat outside in the courtyard and it was enclosed so you are protected from the elements or wind as well as bugs. Wait staff - everyone was great. Very attentive and knew exactly what to recommend. Food - sooo good. I had the fried shrimp with amazing orange salad and green beans. OMG that salad dressing you can drink straight. The shrimp portion was huge, next time we will share. We also ordered: The grilled shrimp and grits. Flavorful and perfectly cooked. Had some to take home. Roman Trio sampler - so much food! The red beans and rice had just enough spice and not overpowering. Loved having the variety. Traditional jambalaya had a great consistency and the sausage and shrimp were a great combination. We cannot forget the garlic bread that they brought out before dinner. I would totally order that with gumbo. And last but not least, we had the Bananas Foster's to share. It was just enough for everyone to have 2-3 bites. Drinks you should absolutely try, the hurricane (not too sweet) and the Bourbon Sour.

The live music sets the tone for experience. The food, drinks, service, and ambiance here are phenomenal! Lola's is a must if you are craving Cajun. Craw Puppies - Crunchy outside, fluffy inside, with the most delectable Cajun aioli. Crab Cake - Now THIS is a crab cake! Mostly crab little cake, so much flavor! Shrimp and Grits - The flavors and textures were well balanced. That shrimp was pan bronzed to perfection and those gouda grits surrounded by a sea of andouille and mushroom/veggie ragout was perfection. Po boy - The Roast Beef D Brees, as featured on Triple D, did not disappoint! The roast beef was sliced perfectly and that home made gravy set it all the way off! Highly recommended if you like tasty food, good music, and great company!

Really wanted an authentic po' boy and heard that you can find them here. When we arrived there appeared to be a big anniversary party and it was noisy and very lively. The piano man kept playing some great hits and the atmosphere was a blast. The po' boys are excellent. Both the oysters and shrimp were large, seasoned, and fried just right. You can request them dressed or undressed and the very fresh bread everything comes on was delicious. Now I know where to come for our po' boy cravings. Great patio as well perfect for our upcoming coolers temperatures.

This is our favorite place for shrimp po boy sandwiches. The bread is very soft, the shrimp are large and lightly fried, and they put out some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Service is typically nice and inside is a fun atmosphere with live music most days. There's parking on each side of the building.

What a great find. Here visiting my friends that live in Vegas and they've been wanting to try it. Made reservations although not needed. We opted to sit in bar and watch football. They have a brunch menu on Sunday as well as regular menu. We shared the jambalaya, shrimp & Grits, and red beans and rice. The blackened shrimp in the grits was my favorite!! But everything was flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be back to try some other items in the menu.

We had etouffee, very tasty with very Large shrimps and just enough sauce. Crab cakes dinner is delicious. 2 good size crab cakes sit on a Bed of crispy leafy salad. You can taste the crab meat. Portion size is ok. It leaves you room to try their desert. We had banana's foster bread pudding. It is large and shareable. It came with 2 scoops of ice cream. I must say it's fantastic. I usually only eat a couple of spoonfuls of any dessert but this time I seemed to be not in control.... Friendly and efficient service. Louisiana flavor ambiance. I wish they would offer some dinner bread to start with.

This is our go-to date night spot when we're craving comfort food. The service here is phenomenal, one of the friendliest, warmest places in town that makes you feel like welcome family. They often have some really good, live music going. The oysters are a must, we get them as an appetizer every time we go. I switched it up this last time and tried the étouffée. 4.5 stars, but not quite as good as my absolute favorite dish, the shrimp and grits. Whatever is in that andouille and mushroom ragu that goes on the shrimp and grits has magic in it, it's phenomenal. Honorable mention roast beef po' boy mentioned in DDD, the beignets and the New Orleans BBQ shrimp.

Ambiance of the restaurant was nice, and cozy we sat outside. The hostess was great and fun. Our server was friendly and inviting. We ordered catfish strips, red beans and rice, jambalaya and chicken strips, we had hot wings as an appetizer. Some of the dishes we would have liked a little more seasoning. Overall a good meal. As a restaurant manager myself, I was happy to see table touches by kitchen and management staff. It's underrated these days for restaurants to do that. We came after 6 and there was a gentleman singing on the piano was cool too. Thank you for solid food and good service.

Excellent food, a nice reminder of New Orleans cuisine. Beignets are light and airy, bread pudding is luscious, shrimp and grits has just the right amount of heat, fried oysters are delicious. Very attentive service and lively atmosphere. It is a must visit kind of place.

Let's start with the service..Jaime was phenomenal! So gracious and on top of every need. Food was delicious. Music made for the best atmosphere.

Food was excellent! I got the tchoupitoulas and greens which was so so tasty! Service was exceptional and everyone was very friendly! Felt like a family environment! I loved the live music and the group twice as nice was so very entertaining!

Hidden gem! Located in a plaza in Town Center Summerlin, there's plenty of parking for this lowkee southern style restaurant. Hungry Monster was amazed of the classy look of this place from the outside, then she walked in. Wow! Seated immediately after walking in, it was exciting seeing the Mardi Gras theme. Masks on the wall, and the love of Louisiana expressed throughout. Our server, Angela, is the greatest. Ask for her when you come. What ordered - Jambalaya - Loaded gumbo - Lola's grits - Chrismastini - just invented the day before but Amazing!! Wow, and wow, and yes. Absolutely worth our trip here. The Jambalaya had the perfect mix of spices to make it not so spicey, but flavourful. The grits made for the perfect side, not overcooked or hard like most. And the Gumbo, let's just say we now have a new fave!! Why describe the food, come try yourselves. The overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Hungry monster was thinking desert, but for the first time No room. Next time around. Absolutely coming back to try more. Thank you Lola!!

Amazing food and service, we were greeted warmly upon entry. I got the Tchoupitoulas that was phenomenal with the Gouda grits. My friends got the jambalaya fully loaded and red beans and rice and they loved their dish as well

YES YES YES! Location: Lola's is located in a private lot. Parking: Lola's has its own private parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue. Ambiance/Decor: The decor/ambiance is so cute! It really feels like you're in Louisiana the minute you walk in! Food/Beverages: YES! Amazing! I had the catfish and grits and my hubby had the tchoupitoulas and everything was absolutely phenomenal. The crawpuppies are a MUST try! Totally worth it, I just wish the crawpuppies came in an order of 5 vs 4 (chef tip: always serve an appetizer in odd numbers!). I ordered a sprite for my beverage and it tasted great and fresh. Hubby also enjoyed his lemonade. Service: The service was AMAZING! From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed and our server was top tier. **Bonus** They had live music! Overall: Overall, I am in love with Lola's. Everything was so authentic, full of flavor, and the service was on point. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back! I hope this review helps you decide on where to have a delicious lunch or dinner in Summerlin! :) Overall Rating: Solid 5 Stars *****

If there is a perfect creole meal, I've just had it. Get the shrimp, catfish, and grits and possibly an IPA, and you'll be in for a real treat. Side garlic bread topped it perfectly. A+++

Great ambiance, food and service. I enjoyed sitting at the bar. Justin's banter and service were simply superb! Lola's has quickly become my favorite restaurant in the Las Vegas valley (I drove 25 miles one way from Henderson to eat there -- because it's that good.) I ordered the shrimp & grits today, which were incredibly tasty -- served with a ragout sauce. I soaked up the sauce with some fresh (off the grill) garlic bread to enjoy savoring every bit of taste of flavor town in this dish! It's always a fantastic treat for my taste buds whenever I enjoy visiting Lola's! I'd rate it with more stars if I could.

My husband and I are in town for a wedding. Normally when we come to Vegas we stay on the strip. But this time our visit is off the strip. So my husband looked up local restaurants and this one looked good to him based on pics. Lola's did NOT disappoint. Lori/Laurie is the absolute BEST hostess I've ever encountered. I wouldn't be surprised if she was secretly the owner. I've never felt so welcomed at a restaurant. Ever. The food was amazing, the service was amazing. We have zero complaints. We'll be back when we're in Vegas again.

Had a show last night so decided to go out and eat dinner in Summerlin. Normally when we go to Lola's, we hit the happy hour..but since it was a Saturday night we went with the full menu. Hub and I both got a glass of Cabernet. Hub ordered the blackened chicken Alfredo...first time he has ever ordered it because he always gets the red beans and rice... I decided to try something new and got the Roman trio....this was a sampling of red beans and rice, gumbo and the e'touffee..... Food was delicious! I loved getting three different things, all of them were outstanding..and the gumbo had some heat....wonderful... Hub liked his Alfredo, but the chicken could have been a little more blackened...he liked the Alfredo and the price was extremely fair with all that chicken. I really love this place...seemed a little slow at first, but the business started picking up after 6 pm....check this baby out!

Pros and cons... Pros: Easy parking. Waiter was great until he dropped off the check and then I couldn't even get more water. The food was good and prices weren't bad. I got the gouda grits with mushroom ragout and it was a very small small portion but relative to the price and also the 'cup' of Jambalaya. Both with were delicious. Also, it was quiet enough inside to have a conversation. Cons: I was there with a meetup group of 10 people. Unfortunately they don't do individual checks, and yet that didn't stop them from adding on a 20% TIP. Server was done with us after he dropped off the bill (I was never able to get a single refill on my water. Definitely not the best place to go for a meetup group.

Was in the area and decided to stop in because I love jambalaya. Unfortunately, the jambalaya here was just so-so. 4 stars Wings - I didn't think I'd like the sauce as much as I did Bread pudding and butter pecan ice cream - unhealthy and delicious 3 stars Jambalaya - I don't like celery and the sausage was underwhelming Soft shell crab - good but could be fried longer to be crispier 2 stars Oysters - small and not very tasty

1st time here and Justin made our experience one of the best!! Walked in and right away loved all the smells and the whole decor and vibe!! I can't wait to try everything else on the menu because the shrimp salad and the crawfish poppers were PERFECTION!! This place definitely makes you feel at home and thank you!

Came here a few years ago. I remember it being better. We ordered the craw puppies. For $9 you get 4 very small nuggets, didn't have much flavor. The grilled oysters were just OK, nothing to write home about. I ordered the crawfish ettoufee, the sauce had good enough flavor but was too runny for my taste. The service was pretty slow. Took them a while to take our order. Even once we ordered it took quite a while to get our drinks. I was looking forward to eating at this place again but this trip was very disappointing. Probably will not go back.

I recently tried the Catfish and Grits at Lola's in Summerlin, and unfortunately, it fell short. The food was picked up as a to-go-order. The ordering experience was satisfactory except I asked if the dish was spicy and was told that it was not. It was moderately spicy which took away from the dining experience. The dish was presented as a spicy, watery brown sauce with small pieces of andouille sausage floating in it. A small portion of gouda grits--approximately 5 ounces--was placed in the center of the dish and did little to elevate the flavor. Three small pieces of fileted catfish, served on the side, were bland and lacked seasoning as well. At $37.00 for this dish and a small, additional side of grits, I expected a more substantial and flavorful meal. The portion sizes were meager, barely enough to satisfy a small appetite. Given the price and the overall experience, I cannot recommend this dish. There are far better options out there that offer both better taste and value. Save your money and seek a more rewarding dining experience!

I've been to Lola's a few times and starting with last year, it has become my Mardi Gras tradition. Tonight, I enjoyed the red beans and rice entree with extra sausage. I also added the garlic bread to accompany my food. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake and ice cream (which feels more like a brownie à la mode). My meal was exactly what I wanted from start to finish. The atmosphere was fun for Mardi Gras with live music. Our server was very nice and helpful. I enjoy having a spot in Las Vegas to get the food I enjoyed when I lived in Louisiana.

Nice restaurant & vibe... just not impressed with the food. Service was good. I always suggest trying a place for yourself 1st, you might like it

Angela was our waitress and was terrific, attentive, and awesome personality. Love visiting Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-in's and Dives locations and this was #29. Loved the atmosphere and decor. Chill ambiance for lunch, but can imagine live music playing or when the Saints are playing. Ordered several items. The Cajun style food was most welcomed and absolutely delicious!!

I came here with my friend because we were craving some southern food! I made reservations for a Thursday afternoon at 12pm on their website. We were seated right away! The ambience feels as if you're somewhere in New Orleans with all the decorations. I ordered the catfish and grits. I've never really had catfish and I really wanted to try it. Let me tell you, catfish is not for me. Lol! But I was glad that I tried it! The catfish tasted like mud, which makes sense because they're bottom feeders. The Gouda grits was amazing! Super cheesy, which I loved! This dish also came with andouille sausage, which was very Smokey and tasty! The sauce was filled with lots of spices which made it a bit spicy. My friend got the po boy shrimp with fries. It was nicely breaded! She enjoyed it! For dessert we shared a sweet potato pecan pie. It was our first time trying this combination. Our server said that they make that in house. It was super warm, creamy and flaky at the same time! It also wasn't too sweet, which we liked! It was delicious! Next time I would add on a scoop of ice cream to enhance it. We were bummed that they didn't have beignets. We were told that they only serve it on Sundays for their brunch menu. Overall, it was cool trying this place out! I would want to try the other items on their menu.

The food is always good and the servers are nice. I come back at least once a month. My favorite dish is the catfish and grits, but the jambalaya, gumbo and other dishes are good as well.

I was pleasantly surprised with this nice local restaurant. The southern food is excellent and the place has a really fun atmosphere. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits, so much flavor. Everyone is really sweet, and service is also great. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Will be coming back! Sad I haven't tried this place sooner.

A huge thank you to the Lola's staff for making my first trip a memorable one! From the moment I walked I was warmly greeted! Justin took amazing care of me! The restaurant was clean and decorated with the New Orleans flare. The highlight was the food! I had the bananas foster, chicken&waffles with Gouda grits!! Everything was sooooooo yummy! I took the gumbo and shrimp and grits to go! It was all finger looking good! I even got a special visit to my table from "Lola", the owner. She's not only beautiful but kind. Thanks to both her and TJ for their warm welcome! You must visit!

Food was amazing, staff very pleasant, customer service excellent, ambiance is comforting and inviting. I highly recommend trying everything at least once (of course it'll depend on ur preference of protein). Freshness, cocktails on point. Go try um go go..

The food was awesome... But I asked for a little extra bread to go with my full dozen oysters (~$36), and they had the audacity to charge me $12 for a plate of toast. If robbery with a smile and pleasant attitude is your thing great. I would come back for the flavor of the food but on principal I would not return to this place nor recommend it. Literally only thing wrong with my delectable meal was $12 for a few more pieces of toast. And that was enough to ruin it for me.

Great food and atmosphere! You can feel at times like all you see are cookie cutter franchise restaurants in Summerlin with no soul, but that would not be the case with Lolas. From the time we walked in and were greeted by Laurie, until the time we left, we felt as if we attended a family dinner. It was our first time there and Laurie gave us the full scoop and when we were about to leave she stopped us to mention the music was about to start and that their wine distributor was there for an event of which she walked us over to introduce us and partake in a glass of wine of our choosing. We stayed to enjoy the music and atmosphere and it was one of the better nights we had had in a long time. Thank you Laurie! and Lolas.

Not a bad spot for some yummy food. My friends love this place and wanted me to try it. The inside of the restaurant is super cute and makes you feel like you're eating in a different city. For starters we had the crab and artichoke dip. It was delicious! My only complaint is I wish it was a little bit bigger, but it was very tasty. For 3 people there was not a whole lot to share, especially with how good it was! It went fast. I had the fettuccine alfredo with grilled shrimp. The shrimp was super flavorful. The fettuccine was not anything to write home about, but paired with the shrimp it was good! My friends ordered the blackened shrimp alfredo and the salmon creole. Both were very tasty. The waitress was very nice and friendly as well. Overall, this was a great spot! Worth checking out!

I enjoyed the food, the greeter and waitress were nice. Also got the opportunity to meet the owner. Live music was great really added to the atmosphere. Would definitely come back here, even if it was just for the ambiance of the place. It really has a nice vibe.

The wait time was great ! Friendly staff and the food was amazing ! I ordered the catfish sandwich and it was on point ! I would definitely go back to try their other dishes !

Blackened Catfish was fabulous. The service was excellent we were a group of 6, we all enjoyed and appreciated how attentive the service was. A lively quiet location, yet easily accessible. Such a beautiful place!!!!!

Fun atmosphere. The food was ok, not great. The service was ok. Being that I've eaten in Nola before I had high expectations. The food did not taste fresh or made to order. It tasted microwaved. Im certain the stuffed jalapeños were pre-made and reheated. They were served luke warm. Chicken po boy was good.

We had to bring our friends for double date night. Food is always amazing, and the servers are always fun. Although the appetizers and entrees are sooooo good, you HAVE to save room for dessert. My husband used to go the the original location downtown but since it closed down, the Summerlin location is our date night go to. The atmosphere feels like you're in New Orleans, and they even have live music. Right now is the perfect time to take advance of their outside seating.

We were here today, 6-16-24, with a 2p reservation made well in advance. we waited 25 minutes past our reservation time! We came from Michiga, Indiana, California and Sedona AZ. it was my son's Birthday celebration. We left but not before I spoke to a manage. She said, I'm sorry but I can't kick people out. I said we made a reservation. her reply was, I wouldn't kick you out either. They are having fun. NEVER AGAIN!!!

I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana and I am particular about my Louisiana food and it's always facilitating when I see "authentic" New Orleans cuisine advertised but Lola's nailed it. The food was amazing and the service was excellent, this is real authentic New Orleans food severed in a cool comfortable environment. We were there mid-week and it wasn't terribly busy, our waitress was so attentive knows the menu and paced the delivered our food perfectly. We can't wait to return and as a Louisiana native I highly recommend Lola!!

Lola's - A Louisiana Kitchen is a Cajun/Creole bar & Restaurant located in Summerlin. I tried the signature orange bowl salad with added bronzed salmon. It was really great! I got a nice big fresh salad and they cooked the salmon really great. The sweet and spicy vinaigrette was very flavorful and good. It does run spicy and might be too spicy for some people. My husband tried the loaded jambalaya. It's a big plate of chicken, pork sausage, rice, shrimp, and kielbasa. Both plates couldn't be any better so that is 5 stars. Our server was really great.

The food was good and the waitress was nice. However I don't think I'll go back, reason being, I was very disappointed that no bread came with our meaIs, dinner should come with some bread, you get bread with dinner even at a diner. I feel charging $12 for a basket bread is a rip off, or at least give one basket with the dinner. Bread comes with dinner at any decent restaurant . A bad decision by someone to not include it with the meal. And, apparently by reading reviews below, diners used to at least get one basket with dinner, but not anymore.

This was my first time eating here but it won't be my last. I was invited here for brunch and I ordered the convo de bayou which came with a juicy chicken breast over a bed of cheese grits and an egg, however you like it. Topped with pics and more cheese, this dish was great. I ordered a French 75 on the side and it did not disappoint. Our server Lisa delivered impeccable service and I like the ambiance of feeling like I was really in NOLA. It's kitschy but cute and just has a lively atmosphere. I wish I would have taken photos of the food before inhaling it haha. The only reason they did not get 5 stars is because is because I just simply want to try more of their menu :)

Lola's is back!! I've been going here again for the past year and I honestly forgot they had a rough patch years back and that I gave a poor rating. I really need to get the name of the lady who seats us because she is soooo friendly, warm and welcoming. The food is good again. I'm so happy it's back to usual

Came in around 3:02pm we had a huge mixup, the chef came out to tell us our food went to a different table. He was nice to give my husband a bread pudding for the inconvenience. Arrival: came in to a friendly face, the host was prompt to ask us what our preferences of seating was. I told her comfortable, she immediately showed us to these gorgeous huge velvety chairs. The first thing you see when coming in is the bar and the cute seating on the left. The seating on the left is the best. Food: delicious! The fish is fried perfectly, and the grits was creamy. My husband said the jambalaya it was delicious. The bread not pictured he devoured it. I most definitely recommend this place with the coolest Chef ever. Get this he's also from Mississippi and is fond of the King family. Can't wait to come again.

Absolutely love this place. I usually get the grits and crawfish and the flavor is to die for!! The restaurant is so cute too. The service is quick for the amount of people they are serving. My mom and I always come here if we're looking for some comfort food.
