My wife works at World Market Center and has been raving about this place for the past year.
We went there for dinner tonight. We started with the crawfish puppies. They were a little spicy (chili powder spicy, not hot pepper spicy). They were very tasty and the spicy mayonnaise aioli is great.
I had the shrimp and grits with sausage. I can see why it is a Lola's favorite dish! The grits tasted like they were made with cheese and sour cream and melted in my mouth. The shrimp had great flavoring. The sausage was not too rich and complimented the grits well. I added a bit of Louisiana hot sauce and it was very delightful.
My wife had the crab cake dinner (she usually gets the crab cakes when she goes to Lola's). The crab cakes were very tasty; the spices and meat were mixed well so one did not overpower the other.
Our dinners cost $13 and $16 dollars
My wife had the Abita light and I had the Abita Amber, from Abita Springs, LA. We are now fans of Abita beer! Oh, and the beers only cost $4.5, not bad for a microbrew while eating out.
My wife has raved about the Banana's foster for months; we skipped it tonight though to have more beer.
I am a fan of Lola's; it is Tuesday night and my wife got the last table for two; the rest were reserved and that should tell you all something!
