Stopped for lunch after walking the French Quarter looking for authentic New Orleans food. We were not disappointed great southern/creole food. Our server Jamal was super friendly plus we got both our drinks and drinks quickly. Definitely recommend the BBQ shrimp if they have the special that day.

I love Gumbeaux! The food is amazing! They give large portions. The service is good. The decor is ok. Could be better. Again, the food is so good! I love this place.

The shrimp Creole is some of the best I have ever had. Their bread is made fresh daily. Amazing to soak all the sauces up. One of the best daiquiris in the French Quarter. Made to order with fresh fruit. Great customer service. Angel at the bar was amazing all three times we came in! Our grandson kept asking for a virgin daiquiri all weekend. So yummy!

Loved eating here in New Orleans. Josh, our server, was hilarious and really made our dining experience special. The food was really good- my favorite was the praline sundae at the end! Their pecan pie was also delicious. Overall, this is a cute spot, great service, and good tasting food!

First sit down restaurant we visited in New Orleans. We wanted to go somewhere easy and not too crowded near where we were staying. It was about 6pm on a Tuesday and it wasnt too busy. Outside dining was full so we sat inside, better option if you cabt stand the humidity or heat. It is a bit louder inside though. We ordered: Creole Combination Platter (worth it if you want to try a little of everything) which had the Shrimp Creole (meh), Jambalaya (bomb), and Red Beans and Rice (solid) Chicken Andouille Gumbo: BOMB, if i was going to get just an entre again, it would be this. Our waiter said this was his fav dish and recommends it to everyone. I liked this more than the exact dish given at Commanders Place. Crawfish Etouffee: im 50/50 on it. It def was third best tasting dish out of the 5 we tried. I liked the dish alot better when I added their garlic hot sauce to it. Bread Pudding with Whisky Sauce: a little too sweet for my palette. Would be great with maybe a latte or whipped cream? Mint Julep: bomb. Get it. Not too sweet ;) Our server was friendly and had alot of suggestions.

Really enjoyed Gumbo Shop. Came on a Thursday night and it was busy but we were quickly seated around 7pm. The food was great and service was quick and attentive. The food was hearty and ample. Sadly, they didn't have the corn side nor were they able to substitute for another side on the menu. Ended up with the spinach- which was okay. Ambiance was cool. Wasn't too loud and felt spacious enough to have convos without talking over others.

We ordered - Chicken gumbo Crawfish etouffee Jambalaya The etouffee was amazingggg. Gumbo was good too but the etouffee topped it off. We also got a side of jambalaya to try, it was ok. Highly recommend coming here to try the etouffee.
