Had a great experience here watching how the bartender/waitress, Citlali, Interacted with everyone at the bar and the tables. Providing excellent service with a great attitude, she also offered suggestions and directions to folks who wandered in looking for something else. Thank you for a wonderful evening, Will definitely be back

After a day of travel and work, I wanted a tasty simply meal and their sliders on Hawaiian rolls spoke to me. And what they said did not disappoint. The food was good and the service was great. It was my first time visiting and I really enjoyed the atmosphere as I dined alone. The bartender gave top notch customer service and deserves kodus of his own. Go check this place out.

Very disappointed in the fried shrimp plate. Don't be fooled by the menu pictures. It looks nothing like it.

This was a cool little neighborhood spot! I sat at the bar since it was just me. I got to chat with the bartender, and 2 others that were either owners or managers. Angie I believe her name was, she was super cool. That's what I love about places like this, they don't care if you're a local or not, they just treat you like one. THAT is what makes me go back.
I got the trio sampler which included: gumbo, etouffee and jambalaya. They were out of the red beans and rice. The jambalaya was spicy, just beware. The gumbo could have used a better roux and the etouffee was okay. I was asked how the food was and I was honest in saying the dishes were very heavy on the rice and not so much on the other ingredients. I left a lot of food because of that, I ate all the good stuff though. I was told a new chef was starting next week, I hope they make changes to the the rice ratio. If I get to SD again, I'll go back and try the po-boy!

Came in on a Wednesday, and we did not like the food, the smell, or the service. This place is dirty and the food is nothing like New Orleans.

Not a good experience - unfortunately it was empty on Sunday at 1pm. Bottom of my poboy was super soggy and you can tell the shrimp were frozen. It’s unfortunate the only waitress working and the kitchen were overwhelmed.

Mixed feelings on this place. We tried the red beans & rice, gumbo, and jambalaya. Overall, despite decent service and ambiance, the meal was quite expensive for the quality of food.
I will say the wings were excellent - especially the dry rub they use. We got them with the house hot sauce which was a bit too vinegary for our preference, but the ranch they came with was good.
The bread that came with the stews was incredible and for the most part the stews were tasty, but the rice in both the gumbo and red beans was super dried out and crunchy. The jambalaya had a nice flavor and kick to it, but the rice was so overcooked and mushy. I didn’t care for the gumbo - it lacked flavor and had a kind of anemic color, like maybe the roux wasn’t cooked enough?
We’d come back for the wings (and bread) but that’s about it.
Best fried catfish I've had in a long time! The staff is pretty friendly too!

I had heard about NoLa on 5th a while ago and finally decided to check it out and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, the experience was top notch. We were greeted immediately with a warm welcome, and the service throughout our visit was absolutely amazing friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.
The outdoor look of the place was beautiful stylish, clean, and gave off a relaxed New Orleans vibe that set the mood before we even sat down. It wasn’t super busy when we arrived, which had me wondering at first… but once the food came out, that doubt disappeared quick.
I ordered the catfish gumbo, and it was packed with bold, rich flavor. The catfish was tender, well-seasoned, and the gumbo itself was comforting and full of depth. My partner got the Cajun catfish pasta, and that dish was out of this world creamy, spicy, and satisfying with perfectly cooked pasta and crispy catfish. We ended up sharing both dishes because they were just that good.
The beers were ice cold and hit the spot served at the perfect temperature. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous without being over the top.
This place is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. Great food, great service, chill vibe, and a beautiful space. I’ll definitely be back. NoLa on 5th, y’all are doing it right!
