text: I can honestly say never been to Louisiana but since the day went too the original Lola on Charleston I feel like jumped on plane right on to bourbon street Just soaking all the finest things the Big Easy has too offer especially the FOOD Lola she all about keeping too her creole background and sticking with traditional fare but doing it right way from family secrets passed on from one generation to the next The original location I have been couple times always end up going with one of the PoBoys Too DIE for and the most legit ones find in Vegas hands down So hearing that they opened second location one much closer on my side of town Excited nnSecond location sometimes have my doubts I always think about is bigger always better You start to lose focus on the things that made you popular in the first place and consistency of the food more locations add Lola not only small restaurant but great story one that featured on triple DDD I love seeing small business owners successful Right off the top from the moment walked in the vibe and everything about the interior design screams at you Big Easy It has the old school colonial look all around they have area that assume all clams or oysters on ice shuck fresh too order the bar area think really nice with the brick back splash look to the many widescreen televisions around it different chairs around the bar area from bar stools to chairs piano in the bar area I went for lunch no one playing but assume they do have live music and NO doubt part of Lola personal taste not miss She big Saints fan Dah You have big Drew Bree artwork There this shelf near the bar but it feels more like bookshelf at home Here you have the little things from the mardi gras masks beads jars of candy and all these little almost personnel items Just the patio area kind of small but had so much personality They have big oak barrels around plants and not just tables outside in open space Heck you even looking out through window out on the patio area Just the theme throughout the restaurant got lot of personality but everything that great about the Big Easy nnThe food was awesome Like I said had my doubts The PoBoy went with the Roast Beef The last time had the soft she will crab I wanted to knock another one off the list The bread with any sandwich make or break point for me PoBoy had so many imitations that once have the real thing never take step back Lola is the only place get my PoBoy on not place comes remotely close Not just one thing but the BREAD really stands out for me She gets it shipped in just for the sandwich It not only the perfect compliment but could get bread all day long The Roast Beef talk about lot of food Messy But nothing better then having the drippings from the beef sauce and some hot sauce icing on the cake It finger licking good I started with cup of gumbo Perfect starter Loved the fact both restaurant felt like the food was consistent All the things that loved about the first one still are at the original and now the second location Lola never meet owner that friendly upbeat and this passion for food not only saw on the show but in real life She just happen be sitting at the bar area when I had lunch It refreshing see owner go around check up on customers and asked my thoughts on my PoBoy No doubt plan on coming back again again
