About us

NOLA on 5th is a family-owned restaurant with one goal: bringing the flavors and spirit of New Orleans dining to San Diego. You will find a casual bar and outdoor patio downstairs, with a more upscale nighttime dining experience in our upstairs room overlooking bustling 5th Avenue in San Diego's famous Hillcrest neighborhood.

Chef Andrew Boyer, a long-time New Orleans resident, has left no detail untouched in our food, from ingredients to presentation. You will find all of the traditional NOLA favorites here like jambalaya, gumbo, po'boys, red beans and rice, and more. We fly our bread in from Leidenheimer's bakery in Louisiana, and we'd love to serve you a delicious Abita beer with your meal. And while they are in season, be sure to stop by for one of our Louisiana crawfish boils, which are some of our busiest and most fun days of the year.

We are also proud to be the home of both the LSU Alumni and New Orleans Saints clubs in San Diego, meaning that game days are full of all the excitement, music, and style that you would expect at home in NOLA. We look forward to seeing you!
