Nola Voodoo is new & improved too, they've upgraded to a larger spot directly across the street :) the new spot is 3x bigger so it has way more tables & more seats at the bar... and it has more TVs plus two pool tables!! The pool table is nice & the TVs give it more of a sports bar or dive bar feel... and the food is even better bc they expanded their menu a little! Oh & I think a few more taps for beer too, and an expanded liquor selection. Love the new vibe. Great job to the Nola Voodoo team, and thank you for bringing us family recipes straight from New Orleans - the gumbo, jambalaya, & shrimp po'boy are just to die for!!

We came here on a recommendation and it lived up to its reputation. The tavern has a Mardi Gras festive feel, with a bar, few tables, and a pool table. Our waitress was so friendly and professional. We ordered an IPA, jambalaya ($17) and the trio sampler ($17) that has a sample of the gumbo, crawfish étouffee, and rice and beans. The spice was really good!

Celebrated Fat Tuesday last night and what fun all had. I ensured myself and a friend got a seat by getting there early, 2;30 pm, and had front bar seating. The bar got packed throughout the night and by the time we left. Everyone had fun and got several comments on my ummm enormous beads we will call them. The service was exceptional being how busy it was and demanding how people can be. The ambience was live and joyful with the New Orleans Mardi Gras flair. They also had a live band that played great music. They had a special menu for the night. I got the usual red beans and rice then had the rib tips and wings and fries. All was so good. Plus the hurricanes were great.

In town for the weekend from the East Coast and wanted to eat at Black Owned establishments. This spot was great! It is New Orleans ALL DAY! Bartenders Vivian & Drew were welcoming and representatives the place wonderfully. Gumbo was delicious and the fried green tomatoes were "hittin and holdin" (that is great). I had an Old Fashioned that well done. I will be back before I go home. Have to try other dishes. Oh, and the owner came in as well and I was able to speak to him. Certainly authentic NOLA Fare and ambience.

I had the shrimp Poboy. It was really good and I did not expect that amount of flavor in Denver, Colorado. I checked out some of the reviews on yelp and decided to give it a chance and it was good.

I loved their po-boy, shrimp was fried to a golden crisp.really enjoyed it. Not a fan of the lettuce but the jambalaya was 3/5 Def worth your time

Yum and Fun! ! Went to check out the new location across the street from the original spot. Such a great atmosphere, like you're walking in to meet all your friends! The owner, Henry, makes you feel like you're right at home and his crew is very attentive. This visit I had the Surf & Turf Po'Boy, it was fresh and delicious! The toasted bun was perfect! Paired it with a Copper Mule, mmm. Others in my group had the sampler Platter and the Catfish, there were no leftovers! It's a great place to meet up with friends, watch a game or play pool, and just relax and enjoy yourselves. If you don't have friends, go anyway and I guarantee you'll make some!

Yes, I did and yes, I do! I love this place. I went here as a celebratory dinner and will absolutely be back. They have bowl crawfish on the weekends for $20 a pound. I am blown away and amazed by this authentic Cajun Creole Denver gem. The moment I walked in I felt like I was back home in Louisiana. The vibe here is family and laid-back good times. Henry, the owner was very welcoming and his staff was genuinely interested in our experience. I absolutely loved the decor and the family style touches around the restaurant, including Henry's mother's gumbo recipe. We decided not to order an appetizer, but just jump right in and I got the trio of étouffée, gumbo and red beans and rice. For a little bit more I was able to add some jambalaya, which is the whole reason I wanted to go in the first place. Cory had the fried shrimp Poboy with french fries on the side. They have authentic sauces from Louisiana to go with Your meal. That was a super nice touch. Nothing was too spicy, but everything had perfect flavor. You could spice it up more with the sauces on the table if you'd like. And then we found out that it was one dollar wings night on Thursdays. The bartender gave us a great sampling of different sauces that they have to come with the wings. I love their barbecue sauce and their wing sauce. Everything was amazing and tasted like home. However, the gumbo was definitely my favorite. It had this rich smoky flavor and the sausage and the chicken was tender and not falling apart. It was amazing in every aspect. My second favorite would've had to have been the Poboy. The shrimp was perfectly fried and crispy on the outside and tender, plump shrimp on the inside with the perfect crispiness on the French bread. That bread is too live for! So yes, I highly recommend this spot. And you will probably see me there. Let the good times roll!
