We recently enjoyed a wonderful Friday night dinner at Nola on 2nd. This was our first visit.From the moment we arrived, the staff was very welcoming. The welcoming host took us our reserved table, we were attended to throughout our meal, and Cassidy was especially kind. We couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere.Thank you for making our experience memorable. Our family had experienced a sad week but this dinner and atmosphere lifted our spirits considerably.Thank you,Julie, Tim and our special guest from Virginia

Sorry, no pics, but the Server was Superlative, the Food was Fabulous, and the Atmosphere was Absolutely Amazing After All!!I had the Crawfish something (I can't spell it, but it sounds French). Anyway, I have no problem recommending this place, but the kitchen closes at 8pm so be sure you allow yourself plenty of time to order before the folks in the kitchen start shutting down just to respect their time and get home to tuck their kids into bed at a decent time is all I'm saying...... ENJOY ?

Great atmosphere and ambiance, with the exception of loud music, but it does have a bar. The food was fabulous. We never knew about this place tucked back off the road, but our friend told us about it. Our waitress was very kind and friendly. We will tell others and plan to return in the future.

Great restaurant and amazing service! Our friends recently moved back and suggested Nolas, for dinner, as they had been here recently. From the drinks to dessert, this place did not disappoint. Make sure to try the roasted brussel sprouts and the bread pudding. We all had different entrees and each dish was delicious. There was live music, by Chandler, who rounded out the experience. We never felt rushed and Cassidy (server) made us feel welcome and right at home. If you haven't tried, please do; and if it's been awhile, what are you waiting for?!?!. We will be back once we return to AL. Thank you!
Excellent all the way down the chain! Or in this case the beads. This is a modern Louisiana style restaurant, with a very unique decor especially for a gadsden AL restaurant. I believe it to be very pleasing, and with staff members like our waitress, the fun loving vibes don't stop there. I love the unique cuisine! Such a bizarre take on common home cooked recipes and the flavors are astonishing! I had the fried green tomatoes (cooked with seafood?) Yes, and it was delicious! My entre was their poe boy with "debries" on toasted bread. So good! And for desert deep fried oreos!! Yes!!This all goes without saying the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is so transportive. Everyone was awesome and you can tell they are proud. I love this place personally and I will for sure be returning.Good job NOLA on Second!
Alisha was our server. She did an amazing job. Our food was beyond fabulous. Get the pork chops!! Hubby had crab cakes. Delicious. Great live music by Chandler. It was a evening and they didn't even seem to mind that we came in so close to closing. I can't wait to come back! Thanks!!

The food was amazing. Had the fried green tomatoes as a shared appetizer. Ordered another special appetizer, the debris fries, as my entree. It was huge and did not disappoint. Our server was fantastic and provided excellent service. Try Nola on Second, and you will not be disappointed.
This was my third time eating at Nola on 2nd and I think it’s my favorite restaurant now. The food is always amazing, all of the staff is just as sweet as can be, they’re super accommodating, not horribly expensive, fun atmosphere, and they have the best strawberry martini money can buy!! I can’t say enough good things about this place, 10/10 recommend

The crawfish toast was amazing. Oysters were fresh and great not just generic blue point. Service was wonderful.

Came at 730 on a Wednesday and it was busy with celebrations and couples. The ambience was nice and the lube music was a good fit. Took a few minutes to get seated. Ordered a bottle of wine and the Waitress told us she was 20 and didn't know how to pour it. Also got raw oysters which were good. Ordered a burger and fries and blackened swordfish po'boy with a side of potato salad. The burger was bland and flavorless, the fries were overdone. The po'boy was tasty with plenty of swordfish, but the potato salad was pretty horrendous with no salt/pepper or really any flavor besides bland potatoes and mayo. The pork rinds were a nice touch as a starter instead of bread. Overall, I'd come back for oysters and wine and maybe a po'boy with different sides or try one of the specials.
