My recent dining experience at Northern Lites deserves nothing less than a glowing five-star review. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and attentive staff set the stage for an unforgettable evening.
A special shoutout to our server, Jada, whose phenomenal service and extensive knowledge of the menu elevated our dining experience. Her recommendations, paired with genuine enthusiasm, added a personal touch to the evening.
What impressed me most was the owners' unwavering commitment to excellence, reflected in their "Get it right" business mindset. They actively seek feedback, fostering an environment where patrons feel valued and heard.
Northern Lites doesn't just offer a meal; it provides a genuine Louisiana food experience. The menu, a perfect blend of traditional favorites and innovative creations, showcases the essence of Cajun and Creole culinary traditions. The flavors burst with authenticity, transporting me to the heart of Louisiana.
Notably, the steak at Northern Lites is surprisingly good. Cooked to perfection, it's a delightful surprise on a menu already filled with standout options. The catfish and shrimp, in particular, rival many New Orleans favorites. Each bite is a testament to the chef's skill in capturing the authentic flavors that make Louisiana cuisine so special.
Beyond the delectable dishes, the ambiance at Northern Lites is inviting and versatile, catering to various preferences. Whether you seek a cozy spot for a romantic dinner or a lively venue to catch the game with friends, this establishment offers the perfect setting.
To the point, Northern Lites is a must-visit for those craving more than just a meal—a genuine Louisiana food experience. With exceptional staff, led by the knowledgeable Jada, receptive owners, and a menu that surprises and delights, this establishment stands out. The steak is a hidden gem, and the catfish and shrimp compete with the best in New Orleans. Five stars without hesitation!

Second; the drinks were amazing. Rum punch, Amaretto Sour, Casamigos drinks were made just right.
Our bartenders were very attentive.

My sister got the lemon pepper wings and they were “bussin” as well.
The owner is very personable and dedicated to his customers.

Great place to get out but be very close to home. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the music was a little bit too loud for my taste. But still, I have been there five times!👍

Patrons of this place utilize 100% of the parking lot of Los Tres Amigos on Sunday afternoons. Not sure if there is an arrangement in place between the two restaurants, but seems unfair at face value for LTA.

This place is amazing! The food, the vibe, the music, the people! We went here for girls night out and had the time of our life. The drinks were strong and babbbyyyy we enjoyed oysters and fried shrimp. I want some more!!! My only regret is that we drove. We should have taken an Uber!

Omggg,cant say enough about our visit here. We sat at the bar! The bar tender was such a sweet heart and her services were polite, knowledgeable,and swift. The music was on point as well as the atmosphere. We ordered the Bussin burgers and omggg they were buzzin. They were well made burgers n the sauce on them burgers was soooooo good not to mention the fries and onion rings were delicious. The cook came out to speak with us n he (Mr Arnold)is a pleasure. We had the two for one margaritas n let me tell ya,they were good! We were told to come back on a Sunday for brunch to try the shrimp and grits with a mimosa 11am-3pm n to visit on a Thursday to enjoy a little Captan Charles. They also have hookahs! You also have to be over 21yrs to enter.

For the grown and sexy. Excellent food. I saw no twerking or grinding because it's not that kind of crowd. Good atmosphere. The club is really nice and it's in a decent part of town. I'd go back.
The music was good but the dj sang over EVERY song and when he wasn't singing, he was talking in the middle of every song. They should just have karaoke because he was enjoying the sound of his own voice.
