Word on the street
What locals are saying
LoLA Mt Pleasant, which opened in late 2023 in the former Mustard Seed space on Chuck Dawley Blvd, is the newer outpost of a well-regarded family-run Cajun/Creole concept that locals already knew from Park Circle. The consensus is consistently solid food — standouts include the oysters, beignets flown in from NOLA, shrimp and grits, and jambalaya — delivered by a friendly, welcoming staff in a relaxed atmosphere. Minor recurring gripes include the lack of a dedicated fryer (unlike the North Charleston location), occasional service hiccups during peak hours, and a credit card surcharge that rubs some diners the wrong way.
