This is an order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you when it's ready. The girl working the counter never spoke to us. After waiting on the people in front of us she went about doing other things. Not a "I'll be right with you." Not a "get out". Nothing. It was like she didn't even know we were there. Someone came out of the kitchen and politely explained how things work and took our order. The food was good. The blackened fish was surprisingly good, but too spicy for my partner. The onion rings were good. The fried oysters were good, but definitely overcooked. The shrimp was good. They use a cornmeal breading on the shrimp. I prefer a flour based breading, but they were still good. The fries weren't. And no I didn't go for the fries, but if they need better fries. Maybe I just didn't get fresh ones. Much more expensive than we expected for an order at the counter place. $70 for two of us. No Appetizers and only 1 beer. Great view of Quietwater Beach.
This is a must stop. Our hotel recommended this spot. The staff was courteous, the food and drinks were delicious and nest of all the view was so peaceful. Hubby and I were happy and filled leaving.

We had such an amazing ( truly beyond 5 stars) experience at Cafe NOLA. Authentic, creative, and rich food. The owners are extremely friendly and attentive with a staff that obviously works magic together, as they have a prep team, oyster shuckers, wait staff, bartenders, runners and they all work together to clear tables and keep this place spotless. Our portions were huge! The gumbo has an appropriate amount of kick to it ( you might need extra bread ) and the rice was perfectly cooked… fluffy and delicious.
You can order as light or as heavy as you want, just stop in for debris fries & a Barq’s root beer -or- bring the entire entourage for a 5 course meal on the mezzanine. Such a versatile place.
Ordering is done up front right when you walk in the door ( almost concession style at the bar) and you seat yourself and can pour your own fountain drink. It’s nice and air conditioned in the main dining for a much needed break from the sun.
I also had a few trays of raw oysters which were gigantic, in my opinion! Everything I needed was brought out to me within 3 minutes of ordering: crackers, lemons, cocktail & horseradish with the fun ice garnishments. This was unforgettable Louisiana cuisine, and I’ve lived my whole life there. To the sweet owner: you should think about franchising, you’re operational genius is unmatched!
I tried the shrimp po boy and the wife had the fish po boy! My shrimp po boy was loaded with so much shrimp it was falling in my lap! My wife fish po boy was also huge and seasoned great! The only reason I removed a star is because our food wasn’t hot maybe because we ordered to go idk! I would definitely recommend and am we likely to return!
Seafood platter was hot, and flavorful . Gumbo was a little thin but tasted pretty good . Crab cakes were great.
Update: Came back for shrimp and oyster poboy. Best ever and the creole gumbo was outstanding. Tried a local beer called Pensacola Riptide and it was pretty good.
Home away from home. Amazing environment on the beach with the taste of New Orleans inside. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Outstanding poboys, red beans and shrimp and grits.
The shrimp and oyster po boy was the best I have ever had! The red beans and rice was amazing also! Highly recommend this place.
I like this place. The oyster PO boy is humongous. They use Gambino bread and it is authentic. The gumbo has a nice dark rue. My only issue with the place is the counter service. You pay and a gratuity screen prompts you to tip. I always do but for what. The staff has never been friendly. She brought me my gumbo I asked for a spoon again after tipping 25% and she rudely said you can get your spoon over there and walked off. The bartender guy has never been particularly friendly or even acknowledging one's presence. Therefore, I am now deciding to quit tipping for their counter service, I think, I dunno, just seems like very little service. The food is great
Very well prepared sandwiches. Softshell Crab PoBoy was excellent! Will return for more someday! Order at register, they take food to your table. A good experience.
Food was authentic and so full of flavor 1000 out of 10 recommend!!! The drinks were awesome I had Jack & coke hubby had bayou water!! We got fried green tomatoes with spicy ranch as an appetizer!
