Reviews
We ordered the marinated beef po’boy with chipotle sauce and the Green Eggs and Ham, both served with crispy breakfast potatoes. The po’boy was packed with tender, flavorful beef and the chipotle sauce added just the right amount of smoky kick. The Green Eggs and Ham was rich and savory, topped with a perfectly cooked egg and a bright green sauce that tied everything together beautifully.
The potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned just right. Overall, it was a delightful, hearty brunch — flavorful, filling, and satisfying.
Definitely a solid brunch spot if you’re exploring San Antonio and looking for something comforting with a little New Orleans flair.
We arrived earlier than planned and had a reservation at 9:15 a.m., which worked out perfectly. We were greeted right away and seated immediately. Our server Joselyn (I believe that was her name) was warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable — service flowed smoothly the entire visit
We started with the boudin balls and Cajun meat pies and wow… both were outstanding. Crispy on the outside, steamy and flavorful on the inside, and perfectly seasoned through and through. The remoulade added a great extra layer, but honestly they didn’t even need it
One cousin arrived late, but we ordered her the classic beignets ahead of time — she crushed the entire plate by herself Definitely ordering my own next visit.
For entrees:
• Green Eggs & Ham (Cajun-style open-faced Benedict) — well made and flavorful, just not what my cousin was craving that morning.
• Crawfish Étouffée — silky, aromatic, and deeply flavorful with a rich roux and sweet crawfish. Even impressed my picky spouse
• Red Beans & Rice — rustic, comforting, and packed with flavor. Smoky andouille, deep savory gravy, and perfectly satisfying.
• Catfish Po’Boy — easily one of the best I’ve had in San Antonio. Perfectly fried catfish, Cajun mayo, fresh veggies, and a classic po’boy roll. Absolute must-try
Drinks were solid too
The Devil’s IPA stacked up very well next to my all-time favorite Jellyfish IPA — citrus-forward, tropical, smooth, and dangerously drinkable. Hot chocolate, latte, and chai latte were all excellent as well ☕️
Atmosphere was great
Loved the music playlist — refreshing and different from the usual brunch spots. Restrooms were super clean and quiet, which I always appreciate.
Overall: great food, great service, great vibes. We had an awesome time and will definitely be back to try more of the menu
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt authentic, vibrant, and welcoming. The energy was exactly what you want on Fat Tuesday. Our server was exceptional — attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The service truly elevated the entire experience.
Now let’s talk about the food — outstanding. Every dish was packed with flavor and true New Orleans character. You can tell they take pride in their recipes. And their Happy Hour is a major plus. We arrived right after work and caught it at the perfect time.
By the time we were leaving, the line was out the door — and rightfully so. That tells you everything you need to know.
If you’re craving authentic New Orleans flavors, NOLA Brunch is the place to be. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back soon.
Thanks, NOLA!
We have wanted to try NOLA for a while now & we finally got a chance recently. We decided to have some omelettes & then enjoy some beignets. We decided on the Blue Crab Omelette & the Boudin Omelette. Both were delicious in their own way, but the side of Brabant Potatoes were the star on the plate. The blue crab omelette was fluffy, light & airy. Our waiter suggested a side of avocado went well with it so I added it, he was right. The Boudin omelette was delicious because it had the perfect punch of spice in it, not too much. What really hit the spot were the beignets. They came out to use fresh & hot. We knew they had been freshly made because they were just perfect pillowy pastries that just melted in our mouths. We chose an order of Mixed which included 1 classic, 1 lemon, 1 chocolate & the seasonal which was the Reese’s Pieces peanut butter. All of them were just delicious! Our waiter was great too. He was there when we needed him & out of our way while we enjoyed our meal. We will definitely stop in for more beignets, those were the highlight of our meal.
The beignets took a while to come out but the other two dishes came out pretty quick. The beignets here are very good. I wouldn’t say they compare to actual NOLA beignets, but I wouldn’t expect them to.
The banana foster pancakes were delicious. I would come back here for those alone. The lattes were typical and did the job. The cajun chilaquiles were kind of a let down. The chips did not have enough sauce on them and the over easy egg was not runny at all.
The restaurant was cute and clean. I have no complaints there. All of the food is very aesthetically appealing as well.
I would come back here to try their other dishes and to get the banana foster pancakes again.
