| - OH. MY. GOD. YALL. This place was beyond amazing, I'm actually thankful it's not that close to where I live because ya girl would be here all the time.
My boyfriend (Steven) and I were celebrating our anniversary and we chose this place due to a friends recommendation. Steven's from the south, so he knows all about good Cajun/southern food. Out of 4-5 different places we've tried in Vegas, he ranks Lola's as #1.
When you walk in, the restaurant is small and the seating is close together. Honestly, it's like going to grandma or moms on Sunday for dinner, so I didn't mind the set up at all. For appetizers, we started with the Crawpuppies, hushpuppies that has crawfish mixed in. OH LORD, were these amazing. I wish there was more than 4 per order, but it's still something I'd recommended. For dinner, I ordered the Étouffée with shrimp and Steven ordered the Combo Plate with cheesy grits and greens. As y'all will see in my pictures, I definitely enjoyed my dish. It has a nice spice and creamy texture and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. I've never had grits so Steven let me try his and my life hasn't been the same since. These grits are made with Gouda which provided a rich flavor to the grits that we both loved. I hope my future grits endeavors can compete with this one because the bar has been set so freaking high.
We (or just me LOL) will definitely be back to Lola's. I loved everything about this place and hope to bring my friends here as well.
