This is the best Cajun restaurant in Denver! I am from Louisiana and I am excited my friend took me here! The place was decorated to make you feel at home and had very positive vibes. Our server was very friendly and our food came quickly. However, the food was the highlight! I had the fried Okra and it tasted like my Mammaw's and the shrimp poboy tasted like I was eating in NOLA!! The bread pudding is a must too! I highly recommend this place and I am very excited to go there again soon!! read more

Nola Jane Restaurant & Bar - Shrimp poboy with okra - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Review #675. My wife and I stopped by Nola Jane's on a Wednesday night around 7. The restaurant wasn't too busy and the bartender quickly seated us. Everything on the menu looked good and the space itself seemed fun. We decided on the gumbo (extremely flavorful), I had a hurricane which was good, and jambalaya (wish it had a little more sausage). My wife had a ch sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall the food is very good, the service was excellent, portions are strong at a fair price point. If you are looking for a taste of the French Quarter in Denver, you will want to make a visit here. read more

4 out of 5 stars. Nola Jane is a Cajun restaurant in downtown Denver with some unique bites. The crawfish etouffee, hushpuppies, fried okra, and mac n cheese are quite tasty. That's what I would recommend you try if you visit! Service is great, the inside has some fun NOLA-themed decor. Parking can be a little tough, but if you're in the mood for something unique in Denver, check out the cajun food from Nola Jane! read more

The food was good! nice portions size, I had softshell poboy with sweet potato fries and side of okra. The service was mediocre. It was cold outside but the wind kept cutting in anytime someone entered. I wish the heat was on but again the food was good and worth it on that behalf. I will also say outside of the servers obtaining tips I didn't like that the kitchen received such a small amount as shown. This restaurant wouldn't survive without the cooks! Come on yall! Overall the food was worth it! read more

This place has such good food for a bar! Their beef po boy sandwich was delicious and very filling. They didn't skimp on the meat at all. I ordered it with the sweet potato fries and a side of the shrimp mac and cheese. I can eat a lot but I was stuffed! The mac and cheese was labeled as bbq but it was so light that I didn't really taste the bbq but it was very tasty and it came with 3 shrimp. The sweet potato fries were also crunchy and had just the right amount of salt. The meal was inexpensive, especially based on the quality of the food. Don't get me wrong. It's definitely bar food but it's probably the best bar food in the area. Service was also really good. read more

Food was delicious. I had the catfish plate smothered in etouffee with a side of Mac and cheese. The catfish was fried but not over fried, etouffee was well seasoned with a really good foundation that gives off the impression that it was somehow marinated in wonderfulness. Spice level was nice as well. Oh yea the Mac and cheese was creamy! read more

Terrible service. We went in and ordered waited an hour for our food but our waiter never put our food order in. He also did not check in during that hour to see if we need new drinks. I would not suggest this place ever. Go to Nola Voodoo Tavern instead! They have amazing service, drinks and delicious food. read more

Unfortunately, this was not what I expected it to be. The food was mediocre. The drink was okay. The final straw was the bartender was putting her leg up on the sink behind the bar. The only time she came by was to grab my half eaten plate of food. read more

5pm Thursday Happy Hour Meetup with my friend. But HH ended at 5pm First time here, ordered a Cab and a couple appetizers. The bar servers were super friendly and attentive. The place was empty when we arrived but it started filling up after 5:00. I'm a hush puppy fanatic so I was looking forward to trying the jalapeno hush puppies. Unfortunately, I did not like them It was the texture and the greasy flavor that did it for me. The okra was good though. Ultimately this seems like a cool spot for happy hour after work but you should go before 5:00 if you want the happy hour specials. Next time, 4pm Meetup read more

I really wanted to like this place , the food came out fresh and was tasty , however, the service was terrible . It took a while for our order to be taken and the waiter didn't comeback and check in on us once. I brought it to his attention but it seemed like no big deal. The cornbread was really moist and yummy and the catfish was fried pretty good. Based on the service I don't see myself revisiting this place again. read more

Nola Jane truly hit the spot when needing a Cajun/creole fix! I grew up going to New Orleans multiple times a year to visit family, so from time to time I just need those comforting flavors. I, of course, needed to get my shrimp po boy while my husband needed his crawfish étouffée. My po boy was just what I needed and I of course had to sample my husband's crawfish étouffée which was perfectly spiced. Our toddler even enjoyed trying some new flavors and enjoyed the BBQ Mac n cheese, which was rich and creamy! Staff were friendly and the vibes were chill, just like NOLA. read more

We ordered food to be delivered. It came nice and hot. Our gumbo was very peppery. Our jambalaya did not have much sausage. The cornbread was fantastic. The shrimp po boy was also fantastic. It was okay overall, but we probably would try another place next time just because we felt like two of our main items were not to our liking. read more

I came in on a Monday around 2pm and it was pretty empty and I just wanted a small snack while I waited for my friend. I got a cup of gumbo and it was super flavorful and had a little kick. It was nice and hot and honestly some of the best gumbo I've had. The server was friendly and came over a couple times to check on me. It really feels like you're in New Orleans with the decor and I will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu! read more

The rooftop bar and staff were all fabulous and extremely welcoming! I can't recommend the bbq shrimp mac & cheese enough!! The food was all delicious! 10/10 will be coming back! read more

Oh buddy. Oh boy. The food here is the closest I've had to real New Orleans stuff. The Po' Boy was great. The Etouffee was delicious. But the Gumbo? That's where it's at. I got just a small bowl of it, over dirty rice, and damn. Let me tell you this. It's the best gumbo I've had in Colorado, by far. Please come here and try this food. The service was decent for being a Sunday during game time. Our waitress was also the bartender, and she was busy - but she always came by to make sure we were all set. This place doesn't ooze Louisiana or Nola, it's just enough to make you feel like you might be there, the food is where you really feel like you're there. The decor inside is nice, spot the Pickle Rick. read more

Every city needs a Nola Jane. While in the area, I heard good things about this place from locals, so I had to try. Spot-on Cajun cuisine. Crawfish Etouffee is some of the best I've had and perfectly spicy. So good! Jalapeño Hushpuppies were tasty, and the server gave us three different sauces to dip. I love sauces. Ambiance good, service good. Highly recommend! read more

A fitting stop for my wife and my honeymoon trip due to the fact our first major vacation outside of family visiting was to the great old NOLA. I always have an appreciation for places outside of their that do their take on Cajun food. We walked in and grabbed two bar seats and were greeted by the friendly bartender who brought us water and menu was through a QR code. No drinks for us during this night but I am sure they do some tasty cocktails and may be a reason to return. Besides bar they have some higher tops and some low tops available as well. If you have experienced the food scene of NOLA you know it has so many word class spots and such a rich history as well. Truly such a renowned cuisine I am not sure places outside of the area for the most part can live up to the same quality. This was a solid attempt, my wife got a fried chicken sandwich and I got a fried catfish poboy with some collard greens! My wife enjoyed the chicken but wished it was a little more crispy. The catfish was good as well but there is just something special about a poboy in actual NOLA! I will say though despite that if you are in the Denver area and have a craving for Cajun food this seems to be the top notch spot. A cheaper alternative than booking a flight to New Orleans (although if you have not visited before go sometime...but that's for a different time). read more

What a fantastic restaurant. Nola Jane where have you been? Such great service from the second I walked in. It was just after an avalanche game and I didn't particularly plan nor did we call ahead. Malcolm greeted me and the bf. He told us he would try to get us in. He pulled up a stool and boom there we were. Nola Jane is everything you want it to be. Flavor. Fun. Pizazz. Kind of dicey honestly. The food though. 5 stars. As a cook myself, I found the gumbo to be the best I've had in Denver. The amount of flavor was out of this world. Abby helped me out with some Louisiana hot sauce as if I even needed it. Stella was attentive with the drinks and this is certainly a place I'm going to make a regular. I'll definitely be back for these chill vibes. Even if there's a rival team loud as hell nearby. The food is as worth everything. read more

After trying to go to traditional brunch spots while visiting my daughter but not wanting to wait for hours, we stopped by here on a Sunday for lunch and sat on their patio. The barkeep, Katelyn, was outstanding. She wasn't our server but took great care of us anyway. The hurricanes are batch-made but pretty good. And, the maque-choux (fried corn) was deee-licious. The shrimp po-boy and fried okra was yummy, but the mac & cheese was really just pasta with sauce. My daughter loved her catfish and her friend enjoyed her shrimp and grits. read more

The food was good , it was better then I thought based on photos , great vibes and I would def go back . The reason for a 4 rating and not a 5 is my catfish po boy , not gonna lie it was good but I feel like my catfish could have been a bit meatier 8.3/10 , red beans and rice 8/10 and that corn bread 9.2/10 ,French fries when they are hot 8.7/10 do not let them get cold and try to eat them again later unless you got a fryer of some sort . The wife had Jambalaya I didn't taste it cause I was crazy full but she loved it 8.6/10 per her taste buds . Yes I 100 percent recommend going also with my po boy I know it's Cajun but a mild choice would have made it tastier and probably wouldn't matter as much about the meatiness not being there ,all in all tasty indeed . And it cost 70 dollars for us to eat , wife had collared greens I didn't taste that either and I don't remember what she said it was. Over all food and experience 8.8/10 read more

Corn bread was amazing. Jambalaya did the trick, nice blonde ale to wash it all down.

Had 12 hours in Denver and decided to go and explore the city. Looked through TikTok and it was recommended to try a few places. Nola Jane came up and I decided to try them out. Mid day on a Monday the restaurant was not busy and was seated quickly. The server instructed us to scan the menu and went away to help other tables. When asking the server questions they seemed impatient and overwhelmed. Ordered the Happy Hour Draft Hurricane which was all you needed. That drink was strong and got right to the point. No games are played one was enough, two I would have needed a wheelchair to get back on the plane. Then ordered their crawfish ettoufee and when I say it was heaven on earth!! The roux was so smooth and buttery. I asked for white rice and it was the perfect addition to the nice Cajun kick at the end. The garlic bread was the rice piece to scoop up any remaining sauce. 100/10!!! read more

A great spot to get some food and drinks before the Nuggets game. They had multiple tvs and the service was great. We had a group of 3 and were able to find a table right away. My husband ordered the Gumbo and I ordered the shrimp & grits. I also ordered a side of cornbread. My husband said the gumbo wasn't bad. I thought the grits were gummy and thicker than I am used to but still good flavor. read more

Ordered the red beans and rice. Could not finish more then two bites of the little dish due to so much salt! My friend and I were looking forward to this place since we are originally from Louisiana. Ordered the gumbo. I'll keep those comments to myself. The greens however were great. They left out the corn bread we ordered with our meal. The catfish was cooked perfect. Mayne in person and not to go would be better? We love our cajun food! Hold the salt. read more

Was in Denver for the weekend and craving gumbo and cornbread -- found Nola Jane and thought I'd give it a try. The staff was friendly, but it took a while to place my order. Unfortunately, the gumbo looked more like jambalaya and had a thick, stew-like consistency instead of a rich, flavorful soup. The cornbread was dense and a bit dry, and I wasn't a fan of the honey drizzle on top. I was hoping for a more classic Louisiana-style meal, but it just missed the mark for me. read more

My stepmamma is from New Orleans, so when I was in town in Denver I was very excited to hear she found a creole spot to celebrate Dad's birthday! We had the best time. The food was phenomenal. We had jalapeno hush puppies as an appetizer which was fabulous. It came with a creole aioli which I drank. We split the beef dipper sammy and the softshell crab poboy. The split is ideal if you want to try some surf and turf. The portions are huge. Dad got the crab cakes which was super good looking but too small for me to try and sneak some lol. We all had Sazaraks the New Orleans style. Delish. Very expensive for three people ~ a couple drinks and food easily will be $250. Surprised honestly but worth it since it was dads BDay :) read more

This was a quick pick for our late lunch while in Denver. It wasn't on our radar but it popped up while we were out and about. My friend suggested it and I let her pick. I wasn't overly excited about it but it turned out to be a fantastic meal. The service was awesome. Friendly, prompt (not too prompt if you know what I mean) and helpful with making our choices. I got the grilled catfish plate with rice and collard greens and étouffée. I couldn't stop raving about this meal! It was phenomenal. So much flavor and cooked perfectly. The hush puppies that we shared were just okay. I've had much better. But that's okay. I would totally come back for that catfish plate. read more

I opened the door to this beautiful establishment and i left feeling grateful and happy that i spent my money. There's a lot of L.A. influence fusion food around here and I'm TIRED OF IT.

Service and authentic foodie selections, WOW. Never thought I would find a place outside New Orleans with such a cajun flair. A soft-shelled blue crab in Denver? No Way... but there it was.

The menu selections: Po Boy's, soups, good stuff. read more

I've never had shrimp and grits like this before- the texture was thick and filling. The chef definitely added some additional flavors including sausage, corn, and tasty spices.

Making this reel my thoughts kept on going back to Mike Goldman. Owner/Executive Chef. It's very simple why. He's very likable and the food is great. Not all are fried stuff. So don't hesitate to come and visit and have fun! My fave area is the table by the window if I'm downstairs. But it's unmistakable the vibe upstairs. Very NOLA! So ultimately that's where I wanna be! Beside that Mike just wants you to enjoy Cajun/Creole food. He used to live in New Orleans. Why disappoint a man who laughs so easily?! In my book he's already succeeded! Amazing food! Everything was delicious! A few standouts to me were the Catfish with dirty rice and have you had crawfish cakes? You haven't? You must try! He makes a yearly trip to New Orleans. Can't wait for the stories about his trip. Featured Dishes: Mac and Cheese. With New orleans BBQ shrimp, black pepper, worcestershire, and beurre blanc ( or you can get a traditional one. But why??) Crawfish Cakes Two crawfish cakes with a Cajun remoulade, dressed with tomatoes and mixed greens. Shrimp & Grits White cheddar grits, andouille cream sauce, blackened shrimp, Louisiana hot sauce, does not come with sides.
