Review Summary

Reviews of La Louisiane describe a lively, welcoming spot where bold Cajun flavors like gumbo, jambalaya, shrimp, crab cakes and hush puppies frequently delight, though a few visits note overcooked chicken, a heavy tomato base in seafood jambalaya, and occasional inconsistency in quality. Starters such as spinach and artichoke dip and the bread pudding and pecan pie get praise alongside menu items that diners want to try again. The service is repeatedly praised as excellent and attentive, with friendly staff, an engaging atmosphere, and a bar vibe that many find appealing. Ambiance and music contribute to a distinctly New Orleans feel, with many calling it a favorite place to return to; the decor and overall mood are often highlighted as a highlight. Some guests feel the menu changes or timing affect the experience, citing longer waits or dishes that fall short of previous standards, yet others reiterate that certain dishes and sauces remain outstanding. Overall La Louisiane is viewed as a place with signature dishes and a strong sense of place that keeps many patrons coming back, despite the occasional hiccup.

we discover this restaurent in the 90s my wife & I used to go a few times a year it was always amazing but the last few times we had dinner there we where not impress with the foods at all,we keep coming back because it was so amazing back then but now the menu change, the blacken chicken was over cook & dry,the shrimps in my wife pasta was also over cook,the crab cakes are ok,the hushpuppy are very good i think its because of the dipping sauce that amazing,i would say the last 3 times we visited we where not happy with the food,i think we are done for good this time.

Service was amazing & atmosphere was cozy, I will say though, the food was a bit underwhelming. My boyfriend got the Voodoo pasta which was pretty nice & packed with flavor. The drinks were awesome too.

The seafood jambalaya was straight up bad. I could pretty much only taste canned tomato flavor, it was so intensely tomato-y that I couldn't taste anything else. The muscles were tasteless & rubbery & overcooked, same with the shrimp.

Still ate it & didn't tell the server because I don't wanna give anyone a hard time. But I probably won't go back .

We walked in without a reservation & were able to get a table on the patio. Very friendly service. For drinks, we had the hurricane, Cajun lemonade, & the sangria. They were all delicious, & the lemonade was very zesty. Our apps were the crab cakes & the cornbread. The crab cakes were delicious (make sure to squeeze the lemon onto them it makes them even better) though maybe ask for extra sauce on the side if you like a lot of sauce. The cornbread was delightful, perfect sweetness & wonderful texture & it was grilled which added an amazing flavour. For mains we got the blackened chicken & the Voodoo pasta. The chicken was juicy & the spices were delicious, but the excellent garlic mash nearly stole the show. My favourite dish was the Voodoo pasta. It was spicy & creamy, & the sausage was delicious. I could eat that everyday & be very happy. Finally we ended with the bananas Foster & it was AMAZING. The only thing is if you like a lot of ice cream with your dessert, maybe ask for an extra scoop.

Looking for comfort food & lively place? Check out the folks at La Louisiane! YUM. YUM. YUM!!! So happy I was introduced me to this fantastic restaurant!! I recommend getting there early (5:30pm) because it gets packed later. Single stall washrooms with no labels is the most euphoric experience ever - BRAVO 👏 Hip playlist that had me pulling out Shazam every tune 🎵 Had me singing & dancing in my seat 🕺 corn bread was grilled SO good I've never had it like that before! Fried chicken, chef vegetables, Dino ribs & banana foster w/ Lemonade that had a cellulose straw 🤯 I even tried to eat the straw 😂 Everything was SO good I can't wait to go back! Other dishes I wanted to try like the mussels & fries, blackened fish, crab cakes looked good as I watched other people get their food! They do have gluten free pasta & jambalaya I wish I could have sat there & feasted all day 😊 The mural on the wall was lovely as well. I dig the vibe of this rad place 🤙🏻Service was attentive & everyone was so friendly & welcoming. I felt like I was hanging out with friends & was super at ease 🫶🏻
