Northern Nola brings New Orleans charm to Rochester with outstanding food and warm, friendly service. Guests consistently praise the amazing seafood gumbo, describing it as very good and even better than in New Orleans. The fish fry is excellent, fresh, not greasy, and beyond expectations. Other highlights include well-seasoned grits, perfectly cooked eggs, and the best cabbage ever. The staff is welcoming, gracious, and provides quick, very friendly service. Many customers, from regulars to those visiting town, plan return trips, calling it a must-visit-again place where they have never been disappointed.
Everytime our daughter has a doctor's appointment we stop there and have NEVER been disappointed. First bite each time we have no words, 10/10 every single time. We just learned you can door dash too so life is going to change.

Food is so good and very generous portion sizes. We had breakfast sandwiches and will be back for sure.

We drove from Buffalo on Friday to support Northern Nola. Kris and her staff were very welcoming and gracious. Service was quick and the food was outstanding. We're already planning our return trip.
