My partner had the Shrimp Po’boy w/ Jambalaya, I had Fried catfish and a bowl of gumbo… catfish was a little thin, but still yummy! My partner said his dish took him back home! He’s from the 7th Ward in NOLA! We recommend this spot!

So went here after work today and had the best early dinner plus leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Everything was just so flavorful. I’ve included a few pictures and a short video clip.

I was in San Diego for a comedy show. I stopped in this place to eat dinner with a family member. We enjoyed the food. The bartender was cool. Her name is CeeCee. Great spot for down home food. I just wish they had potatoe salad.

Did the trio and the flavors hit the spot. The gumbo had a sid spice to it. Reminds me of being back in N’Orlans.
Hurricane was so, so though. Needed more flavor and was bland.
Service was tremendous. Our bartender/waiter was on point. Quick with the drinks, always checked in on us and did a great job despite having a full bar. Its a fun neighborhood type place.
Worth the stop and worth coming back to.

I went to Nola for the first time today for happy hour. I got the wings on special which were delicious and a few beers. $5 beers! What a deal and they had a great selection of local breweries. They have a dog friendly patio and even offered my bulldog some bacon which he greatly appreciated. The server and manager were so kind when I spilled my drink. The service was excellent and the music was right up my alley. I can’t wait to visit again!

I had heard about NoLa on 5th a while ago and finally decided to check it out and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, the experience was top notch. We were greeted immediately with a warm welcome, and the service throughout our visit was absolutely amazing friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home.
The outdoor look of the place was beautiful stylish, clean, and gave off a relaxed New Orleans vibe that set the mood before we even sat down. It wasn’t super busy when we arrived, which had me wondering at first… but once the food came out, that doubt disappeared quick.
I ordered the catfish gumbo, and it was packed with bold, rich flavor. The catfish was tender, well-seasoned, and the gumbo itself was comforting and full of depth. My partner got the Cajun catfish pasta, and that dish was out of this world creamy, spicy, and satisfying with perfectly cooked pasta and crispy catfish. We ended up sharing both dishes because they were just that good.
The beers were ice cold and hit the spot served at the perfect temperature. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous without being over the top.
This place is a hidden gem that deserves way more attention. Great food, great service, chill vibe, and a beautiful space. I’ll definitely be back. NoLa on 5th, y’all are doing it right!

Amazing tasty food! French dip and blackened po boy sandwiches melted in our mouths. Friendly staff
Arlette was busy but took time to talk with us and kept the drinks full. Looking forward to returning.

Great atmosphere for watching Padres games and very close to the heart of Hillcrest neighborhood’s downtown. The beef n shrimp po boy as seen on Triple D was worth the visit, though the chicken and sausage jambalaya side cup was just OK, not great. For seafood lovers the Shrimp Etoufee with Fried Catfish is the perfect choice. Fresh. The bar has a great selection of local IPAs and beers. Happy Hour helps (3 to 6pm). Will definitely return for their many other New Orleans Menu items.

My husband is a New Orleans native and we are always looking out for spots that do NOLA food right. This place gets it done! Best representation of classic New Orleans food we have encountered in California. Stopped by on a trip to San Diego for the weekend. The atmosphere is very cute inside and out, and the food is excellent. The shrimp and grits were a standout, creamy and cheesy. The poboy has excellent flavor, on the classic Ledenheimer French bread. Etouffee and jambalaya were also top notch. And the service is absolutely fantastic, warm and friendly and laid-back, while also quick and attentive. Overall, great food and service at a very reasonable price. Definitely plan to come back to NOLA on 5th whenever I’m in town — highly recommend it!

Wow NOLA. I have wanted to be in your court. I love cajun food, so does my mother. Last we we came, and there was actually, no joke, a cockroach in my iced tea. I saw it before I drank it, and the server was embarrassed. She made up for it and we tipped her well. I feel that was a warning shot, but certainly we were willing to give it another go. This time though. Sunday afternoon, there is a game playing and it was a bit loud inside. So took my 81 year old mother down the stairs to the outside patio. After we were seated, the bartender/server Anthony came down and said “we aren’t serving the lunch menu here.” No “sorry but….”, I commented there were no signs not to come down and it was loud inside. He literally said “well you didn’t ask me to turn it down.” As we walked back up the stairs he continued and said he didn’t want to have to deal with us today. Hoping it was a different server, we sat inside in the back. He came to the table and said “let’s try this again and you better be nice or I’m not serving you.” I bit my tongue. But he couldn’t be bothered to ask if we wanted anything else, or to take my credit card he had the busser do it. I am shocked. Being apologetic for the inconvenience would have made it all better. Yet we were met with rudeness. So no, I guess we won’t give you a third chance. What a shame..
