A scouted the area on foot to find a good place for dinner. My wife and I had a 2 day visit to Denver. I spotted this and went in to check it out. The vibe was great. The employee made it seem like a good choice. So we came back together a couple hours later. I had the Debris Po Boy. Very delicious. My wife had the chicken tenders. Pretty good. We shared an amazing piece of key lime pie. We also had a good, but not great, piece of corn bread. Fantastic atmosphere. Would definitely go back if we are in Denver again

Finally made it here after having their award winning wings (Chicken Fight 2024). Some of the best jambalaya I've ever had; I told them I like spicy, and they spiced it perfectly! Gf had a fried chicken sandwich with mac and cheese; both were delicious!

Loved it! The bbq shrimp Mac and cheese, eggplant creole plate and honey cornbread were awesome but the chocolate chip bread pudding was insanely delicious! We loved it and will definitely be back.

Awesome easy lunch or dinner spot! Open late with amazing po boys. The bread is soft and the hot sauce is plentiful. Had the soft shell crab po boy and a chicory espresso martini, both of which were excellent. Highly recommend! Get the fried okra as a side!

Nola Jane’s is a unique and refreshing spot in Denver for those lovers of the Big Easy. I enjoyed my time here. I can’t give it 5 stars because there was very little attentive service, food was good, but overall just not a 5.

Hands down one of the best Southern food spots I’ve been to! The flavors are on point, the portions are generous, and the prices are super fair. The gumbo was rich and comforting, the grits were creamy, the okra had that perfect crunch, and the étouffée was packed with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the mac and cheese with that special sauce, comfort food heaven! On top of the amazing food, the staff made the whole experience even better. Friendly, attentive, and just genuinely good people who care about their customers. It’s rare to find a place where everything; flavor, price, and service; all hit 10/10, but this one does. I’ll definitely be back again (probably sooner than later).

Went to lunch here today and the food was so delicious! I had the fried okra and jalapeño hushpuppies for appetizers and the fried catfish plate with ettoufeé. The soft shell crab poboy was so good too! Don't miss out on this spot if your un downtown Denver!
