So sad that I wasted my Mother's Day off and first Sunday off in months eating here. My husband and myself have been wanting to try the brunch but I always work Sundays so the first one I got we booked reservations. First we were seated and it took 15 min for our drink order to be taken. It was not busy at all! I was surprised actually ( I know now why) .The restaurant was pretty inside but it was warm. When we asked if the fans could be turned on, she said she would have to get a ladder. Apparently the opener didn't use sense in that it was going to be hot and maybe some fans would be reasonable to make customers feel comfortable. Because it had taken so long we order our food as well. My meal came with two sides but because it wasn't on the menu the waitress has list about 8 sides to choose from so I picked two. Our appetizer ended up coming out before our drinks. Our meal took 45 minutes to come out. Two tables that were seated 20 minutes before us and ordered after us, received their meals 15 minutes before we did. The meals were ok, not terrible but definitely not worth the money or going out of your way. We ordered beignets. What a disappointing desert. The presentation was terrible, not real beignets, my husband's piece was still raw, and they are served dry with more powdered sugar than you know what to do with. Despite us telling them all of this, it kinda got ignored. Then the bill comes and I am charged extra for one of the sides that came with my meal. When I asked why I was charged for something that came with my meal, the waitress stated "oh that was premium item so it's extra" I told her she never mentioned that and it's not on the menu. She said yes you are right, sorry about that and she walked away. She still charged me the price and showed no concern. We received no refills or even asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. Our service was terrible and will be the main reason we don't recommend or go back.

A new spot for us. We started with a visit on a weeknight for some music and happy hour. Then las weekend we had a great Mother's Day brunch. We'll be back, great service and delicious food.

I'm a New Orleans native so my opinion may be slightly biased. I've lived in vegas for 3 years and find the food just ok in general. The meal overall was overpriced and the desert was sub par and very overpriced. I've put off going here after it being recommended to me time and time again by clients. I would not recommend it for an authentic NOLA dining experience. Good beer selection though and friendly staff as far as the ones I encountered.

My fiancé and I stopped here for dinner. She remembered it from a group event she attended. I am so glad we did. The atmosphere felt cozy as soon as you walked in. Even though it was a Saturday night, we got seated right away. Our waitress was there shortly after we were seated. Our drinks came out quickly. I had noticed they had raspberry tea and asked if I could switch after the one she brought me. She offered to get me one right away so I said yes. My lady ordered the chicken breast with a baked yam and a salad. I ordered the catfish bronzed with potato salad and Cajun fries. Her chicken was moist and tasty. Her salad was simple, the way she likes. Her yam was delivered with butter and brown sugar she had requested. She loved it. My catfish was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of kick. My only issue was it was sooo tender it was hard to pick up. I managed to get every last bite. My potato salad was tasty. The Cajun fries were hot and nicely seasoned. For desert we got bread pudding with praline sauce. Wow was it good. We will be back!!!

What a spot for the Summerlin area! Great service, fun ambience, delicious food & tasty drinks--loved it. We sat at the bartop--lots of regulars--always a great sign! We'll be back for happy hour.

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!!

Being from New Orleans I love authentic creole food, and this place totally delivers every time. My party enjoyed cocktails including a Pims cup. We also had yummy appetizers, including oysters and spinach and artichoke dip. we also love the shrimp and grits, which is one of our favorites. Tonight was extra special because they were serving fresh boiled crawfish! Everything was super yummy and we can't wait to go back. Also, the live music really set the mood. It was great background and not too loud. We really enjoyed it.

This was our second time at Lola's....and it was even better the second time around. We had the red beans and rice....and the traditional Jambalaya. Both were excellent. Finished the evening off with a slice of sweet potato pecan pie and bread pudding...both plates looked like they were licked clean. All in all a very nice meal.

What a wonderful find! First time to Lola's and we have lived in Vegas for 10 years (shame on on). Well, this may be our new favorite restaurant! Amazing menu, great prices, awesome service, and a great vibe. We have been to New Orleans several times and I would rate Lola's authenticity as close as you can get. Soft shell crab was AWESOME! Jambalaya as good as you can find. Bottom line- We will be back! (-:
