Nola's Creole and Soul

This is authentic as you can get without actually being in New Orleans!

10/10
I overly enjoyed the food and atmosphere! Drinks were great, Bread pudding and Oysters were chef’s kiss! Definitely returning

Breath taking and very delicious food.

We arrived at 4:05pm and the door was locked, so we were going to go to Chilli’s, but right as we walked away the owner came and opened the door. She apologized that the doors weren’t opened on time and that she was running behind but seated us immediately. She gave us two cocktails on the house for the minor inconvenience. The customer service was superb, and it was definitely appreciated.

The drinks were really good and the food was even better. Those fried wings with the Nola sauce were really good. Had I known they were that good, I would have ordered my own so I didn’t have to share with my wife. The Jambalaya pasta was really good, the chicken in the pasta could have been seasoned a little better but it was still good. Same with the house Jambalaya. And the portions are HUGE!. Wish I had room for dessert because those beignets looked so good.

All in all, no complaints and the owner was extremely kind and welcoming and showed us some great customer service from beginning to end.

I had the Shrimp & crayfish etoffe. GREAT anther clean plate and all areas of the building. Keeps me fed

Nola's owes us nothing but a REPEAT! The atmosphere was amazinggg! We came when they were having karoake and the vibes were VIBING. Everyone was having a great time, smiles everywhere and laughter ringing through the air.

Our server Leah was great, so attentive and even communicative with delays because there was a large volume of people and ONE chef -- Let me tell you, the food was worth the wait (even though it wasn't long!) ☺️

For starters, we got the Crab & Spinach dip with pita bread and the BBQ Shrimp and Grilled Bread -- BOTH SOO GOOD!

For entrees, we got the Jambalaya Pasta and House Jambalaya with a side of Mac and cheese -- THAT MAC AND CHEESE TASTE LIKE SOMEBODY's GRAMAMA MADE IT! All of our food was legit a 10/10.

From the bar, Hubby got the Nola's Bourbon Punch -- well he got 2 of them because the bartenders hands were blessed 🤭

Not only will be back, but we're simply planning WHEN! This place and those within it are GEMS, we had a great time! Thank you for a great date night Nola's!!

(Disclaimer: We didn't get pictures of the starters,
we just dove straight in and this video was all we got of the entrees before we jumped on them.)

Services was amazing and quick! Food was cooked to perfection and large portions. We definitely will be back! Thanks for the good vibes!!

The food was very nasty no taste i ordered the pasta you could count the seafood in it watered down never will I spend another dollar in this place the waiter was ok

Please try this place out. It's soooo good!!

My friend and I had the pleasure to stop in on e evening to grab a bit to eat. We were greeted by a nice woman behind the counter. After eating the delicious food and speaking with her, we found out she was one of the owners. She greeted us with a smile, engaged in brief conversation and provided us with excellent service. To top it, the other owner came from the kitchen and introduced himself as well. The food, flavorful, fresh and delicious. The catfish had no bones and it was topped with a gravy in a bed of cheese grits and a side of Cajun collards... MYMYMY! Yummy! My friend had the loaded seafood grits. Amazing. We also were at to taste the beignets...very good! If you are in the Charleston area, please check it out! We will be back!

Amazing staff with amazing food. Customer service has always been phenomenal. Ms. Marva, Mr. Nigel, Ms. Sarah and Mr. Brandon been the best!

My wife and I just visited New Orleans in April. Ever since we got back, I've been looking for a restaurant with similar quality food to some of the things I had there. Nola's Creole and Soul might as well have been picked up from New Orleans and dropped down here in SC. The shrimp and crawfish etouffee were incredible and the banana bread pudding was on par with the bread pudding I had at Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans. Don't skip this place!

THE BEST PLACE FOR CREOLE AND SOUL FOOD HANDS DOWN. Just moved up here from FL and asked a friend of mine who lives here, “Where’s the best place for shrimp and grits?” To which he replied, “Nola's hands down.” My parents were visiting and I wanted to take them to a REAL southern cooking restaurant and have never had shrimp and grits before. Coming from a Puerto Rican background, we are BIG on flavor and THEY. DIDN’T. MISS. I almost had to snap my mom out of it the way her soul almost left her body after taking that first bite of shrimp and grits. My dad had the jambalaya and almost started crying from how good it was. I had the seafood etouffee (pictured with a crawfish on top) and my boyfriend had the fried catfish with grits. Saying it was amazing was an understatement. The flavors were perfect and so nostalgic. I’m talking, having a bowl of whatever you choose on the menu (BC IT’S ALL GOOD) and curling up on the couch by a window while it’s raining and 45 degrees outside. We also had the beignets which were so flaky, delicious, and piping hot. They had a slight chew and you could tell they were freshly made. My dad and bf had the sweet tea which was freshly brewed and TRULY a landmark for the South. The state of SC should make Nigel’s iced tea the STATE DRINK for how delicious it was. The staff was amazing and constantly checking up on us and making us feel at home. Chef Nigel even asked how everything was and was the sweetest. Thank you Marva and Nigel for welcoming us to Charleston with such an amazing experience. We definitely will be coming back!

The food was delicious and everyone is so sweet! We had the best time!

The food was amazing and the service was even better! Would recommend and most definitely returning!
