The Seafood Gumbo At This South Carolina Restaurant Is The Best You’ll Find On This Side Of New Orleans

Love traditional Louisiana food but don't care for that extra long drive (all the way to Louisiana, or as they say in Louisiana: Lews-e-annah), then shorten the trip considerably by heading to scenic and trendy Park Circle in North Charleston. It's here that you'll find LoLA, serving authentic Louisiana food day in and day out. From seafood gumbo to jambalaya, etouffee, and host of other Cajun dishes, LoLA has it going on.

Motor on over in that direction and give it a go.

You're sure to be posting your two-thumbs up review in a few places after this fun (and delicious) dining experience.

By far, the most popular item on the menu is the seafood gumbo. Loaded with crawfish, shrimp, and more, it's perfect as an appetizer or as a meal.

Moving on to the jambalaya, your taste buds will thank you for ordering this dish - just as much as your rear parts will thank you for not driving all the way to Lews-eannah to get it when LoLA makes it just as good, if not better!

Do we even need to talk about this Cajun shrimp po'boy? Better bring your A-game if you plan to finish this one in one sitting! (There are eight different po'boys on the menu, by the way — and good luck finishing any of them!)

You seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu at LoLA's.

From the bayou classics to the appetizers, gumbos, soups and salads, LoLA covers all of the basics of classic Louisiana food, right here in South Carolina.

The restaurant has a small but inviting dining room with limited seating. But that's okay...

There are plenty of seats outside on the patio!

You'll find LoLA near the corner of O'Hear and Empire Avenues in North Charleston.

LoLA is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday evenings from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and for lunch Thursday through Saturday beginning at 11:30 a.m. Visit the LoLA website to learn more and see the outstanding menu offerings. You'll be licking your lips in anticipation in no time at all.
