Had a great day of food in New Orleans. Looked forward to a nice culinary end to the day. This was not it. Order the combo plate with crawfish etouffee, jambalaya, gumbo and a seafood something or other. Not memorable. Everything was lackluster. No notables for me. Husband thought gumbo was decent more

My wife and I had supper at the Gumbo Shop and our waiter was totally unaware we were there aafter our food was served. He never came back to check on us and I had to hail someone else to get our check. The food was good but overpriced. more

The food here was very good. We came in between lunch and dinner, so it was a lull; our food was delivered very quickly. more

Great tasting meals and desserts. Not alot of vegetarian options but ask the friendly staff and you will always find an option. This is one place I went back to multiple times during my stay. I will suggest you check on this place in your first day there to get a feel of best times to go. If you don't... more
