Went for my birthday dinner and they did not disappoint!! Excellent fast service as always! We started with the Cajun angels / - bacon wrapped scallops over street corn, Cajun Alfredo pasta with blackened shrimp, my son did a cheeseburger with mixed veggies w no spice (they were so good), and my husband got the Cajun Alfredo pasta with shrimp and sausage. The food is always consistent, the quality is amazing, service is great and the food comes out super fast! They also have the absolute best beignets and have them flown in from NOLA! Our favorites are the caramel pecan! They're life changing! read more

Lola was a hit with our entire family! We started with the praline pecan cornbread, and it was absolutely incredible--sweet, savory, and unlike anything we've had before. Our kids were thrilled with their meals, giving the chicken bites and buttered noodles a perfect 10/10. For the main course, I ordered the shrimp étouffée while my wife had the shrimp creole. Both dishes were outstanding, packed with flavor, and exactly what we were hoping for from a great Cajun meal. To finish the evening, we shared the beignets, which were easily the best we've ever had. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made for a great family dinner. The highest compliment came from our very picky 8-year-old, who asked if we could start coming back regularly. That's about as strong of a recommendation as it gets. We'll definitely be back! read more

Went to Lola for dinner last weekend and it did not disappoint. We got the mussels and jambalaya, which are always go to picks for us. Food is consistently great, service was on point, and it's just one of those spots you can rely on for a solid meal every time. Would definitely recommend. read more

Everything was tasty. We got here right at 7 and it was hopping. Service was a little slow but allowed us to enjoy our meal and company together so it wasn't minded at all. The vibe is definitely NOLA through and through. Down to the swamp water arnie palmer with OJ and beingnets! All the food was delish! Very much enjoyed the tender gator. read more

LoLA in Mount Pleasant, SC is consistently good. The staff greets you with a smile. The atmosphere is always pretty chill. There a numerous gluten free options and the staff always is knowledgeable about celiac and gluten in intolerance. Furthermore, the employees always treat us well and are kind; and completely care about cross-contamination. I always feel comfortable eating at the North Charleston, SC location amd the Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. location. The only downside is Mt. Pleasant's location lack of a dedicated fryer; however, the North Charleston location has a dedicated fryer. :) read more

My wife and I are from Louisiana and this is the place we go when we miss home! Everything we have had from the menu has been delicious and tastes quite authentic as well! Lots of places try to cook Cajun food and fail miserably...Lola actually does it very well! My in-laws, who have lived in Nola their whole lives even liked it! I highly recommend. read more

Food and Service were excellent!!! Very friendly staff. Great spot cool ambiance. We sad outside on a beautiful evening much quieter than inside which was very festive!!! read more

The food and service were excellent. I got the duck fries to start which had seasoned fries topped with duck confit, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, and fried jalapeños. Then for my entree I went with the shrimp and grits it was very plentiful of shrimp and the mushroom sauce on it was delicious. It also came with a piece of praline pecan cornbread I could eat a whole pan of it. Not pictured but the boudin balls, crawfish étouffée, and muffuletta were all delicious options as well. read more

Soft shell crabs are small and over cooked. Try anything else. Service is great and friendly. Nice happy hour specials

Good food. Great service! Come for happy hour and stay for dinner. All the servers were super nice and friendly.

The jambalaya over grits was too good and full of delicious local shrimp. Others in my party had the crawfish etoufee and shrimp po boy. Everyone enjoyed their meal and most of us had leftovers to take home since the portions are huge. Same friendly service as the North Charleston location. read more

Note to self. Make reservations for the Fourth of July. I thought everyone would be at the beach so thought a late lunch would be easy peasy. I had a craving ( really an addiction) for fried oysters and I knew this was a new place in Mount Pleasant and since I am new as well, gave it a shot. Every single employee we came in contact with was cheerful and so accommodating. They were booked solid and the bar was also full with people standing. We decided to wait for a bit. We watched them turn away loads of folks. No openings until 7:30 and the closed at 8 pm that day. Long story short, they gave us a table if we promised to be out in an hour. Done! I asked for the fried oysters to be lightly fried because I had seen pics of them here and I was afraid they would be hard. My husband asked for the same. They did not comply with that but I will say that the oysters were delicious and so juicy with great Cajun flavors. I could just have wine and a plate of those bad boys and call it a day. They do go a bit overboard on the same seasoning in EVERY dish. The fries, the corn and the shrimp all have the same spices. The fried shrimp were unusually greasy but the oysters were not. I did see some fish tacos going by as we ate and I'd definitely give them a shot! Server was great! This is a small place with some outdoor seating. Make a reservation if you want to be seated inside. Oh, a lady next to me asked about the praline cornbread. If you like a piece of cake with your dinner, go for it. I do not. Born and bred in the South and this would be served as dessert. It was tasty, just not cornbread. read more

Thank you! Here's an updated version of your review reflecting the Cajun style of the seafood: I had a fantastic meal at Lola in Mount Pleasant. I started with the BBQ shrimp appetizer, which was rich, savory, and full of flavor--an excellent way to kick things off. But the real star of the night was the Seafood Gumbo. Without exaggeration, it was the *best gumbo I've ever eaten. The broth was deep, bold, and authentically Cajun. and the gumbo was packed with generous portions of seafood, including whole pieces of crawfish, a rare and welcome touch. Lola nails the Cajun flavor profile without holding back. If you're craving real Louisiana-style cooking in the Lowcountry, this is the spot. I'll be back just for that gumbo. read more

A relatively newer restaurant in the Mount Pleasant area next to Joey tomatoes. As you may have seen elsewhere, the name of the place represents the cuisine, which is a mix of low country, southern influence with New Orleans style dishes. They have gumbo, rice, grits, and so on. My family and I liked it so much that we went twice in one week. We actually very much enjoyed the vegetarian meal more than we even thought we would and ordered it a second time. Now some dishes do come with cornbread - let me tell you that is not enough. One bite and you will wish you had so much more. I have never had cornbread like this that honestly tastes almost like a cake? It is so delicious! Great on its own and great to sop up the flavors of other dishes. And don't get me started on the fried flounder taco. Wow. That may be the dish I recommend the most! Service is quick and friendly. Ambience is nice. The few times I have been there. They are still in Mardi Gras theme. That may be permanent given the New Orleans influence. Dining inside is intimate, there are booths and tables. There is also a bar that seats about 8 to 10 people. And there is outdoor dining as well. read more

This place is a gem! Fantastic service! Great food and it comes out quick! Everyone enjoyed themselves!

Lola's is a fantastic restaurant! I had alligator for the first time ever at Lola's and I can honestly say that archosaurs are yummy...but I can't guarantee that any other restaurant serving alligator is as yummy as how Lola's prepares it. Dinosaurs aside, Lola's is more than a meal prepared and served by thoughtful people. It is a place for community, compassion, and humanity. Come here for the menu and you will find culture, dignity, and kindness. read more

1st time visiting this location. They are just as friendly as the Park Circle location. This one has more space inside. I only had the Boudin Balls, but it was just as good. It was happy hour time, so I had a pineapple margarita, which was one of their seasonal cocktails on happy hour. read more

So we had a reservation (7:30pm) at Lola's Mount Pleasant and we had to wait for a table to get free, so we sat at the bar(where they told us to wait, because we were next and the only ones that had reservations) and the guy Brian knew that, however what he did was look around and found two other people (white people that just walked in ) to put in our chairs, so y'all know what to do about Lola's Mount Pleasant. read more

We loved everything about LoLa! We happened upon them for happy hour, so we got some good deals for some great food. Everything we had was fantastic and service was great! A positive is that we didn't need to be at the bar to enjoy HH specials. Restaurant is laid back & casual. read more

One of the only places actually where I'll go by myself and enjoy dinner. The Filosas treat you like family and know food. Take people here whenever I get a chance. read more

Everything was great from beginning to end. We had friendly service and quick and comfortable seating. We were a large group and we ordered 9 dishes. Everything was great except the alligator bites, why anyone likes those chewy nuggets, I have no idea. Just get calamari! I really loved the fried oyster po'boy. The corn bread is sweet, almost like cake. The sweet potato fries were perfection read more

Wow bloody wow... Ate here for the 1st time today. Their menu is amazing. The shrimp & crawfish PoBoy was incredible. The wife had their French dip sandwich which I ate half of too :) Best of all is the customer service. Our server Arie treated us like family, told us about specials and days they do crawfish boils. We will be back soon to try more from their menu. 3 Thumbs Up & 5 Stars from the wife & I. read more

We had such a great time last night @ Lola! We were seated immediately by their friendly staff who made the experience awesome! Food: We started with the Gumbo and the Fried Green Tomatoes that were off the chart delicious! I had the Shrimp and grits that were simply awesome - a Creole twist and spice to them. Hubby had the Redfish - delicious but we both thought the Collards were too salty for us. I took off one star for that and think if they had a half star it would have been better because we'd give Lola a 4.5! Service: Awesome Staff - friendly and attentive. 5 Star Staff! We will definately be back! Desserts looked awesome but we didn't have room! read more

We came in to celebrate Fat Tuesday and the place was packed at 4:30. I got a dozen oysters for an appetizer which were good. For the entree, I ordered off of the Happy Hour menu (4-6). There are some great deals on here. I settled with the Jambalya and the 1/2 Muffalleta. The jambalaya really didn't have much flavor, and the muffalleta bread could have been better. We got the sweet potato pie and a piece of King cake for dessert. The food I'd consider it mediocre, but give it a go and make your own opinion. I know there has been a lot of ppl talking about sub-par service here, I thought the service was great! read more

I recently went to dinner here for a GNO and we had a wonderful time. First off I just have to say the service here is phenomenal. Really top notch. I ordered the Etouffee and thought it was delicious. First time ever having it. I was going to order a side of the praline pecan cornbread so imagine my delight when I found out it came with my entree. Yummy! My friend had a hankering for the fried shrimp. Can't really go wrong there. She wasn't a big fan of the seasoned fries. Was hoping for just regular fries. I didn't get a pic of the fish tacos but they looked good. It does get kind of loud inside when the restaurant is packed with patrons. Of course we were there on a Saturday night so it was definitely packed. Luckily we had a reservation. I'll definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

We tried LoLA during our recent visit to Mt Pleasant. We had a reservation and were seated upon arrival. They seated us next to the bar, so it was very noisy.
