Gumbo Jeaux's

The place was clean… the pasta was great! Very flavorful and filling… very saucy… the fried fish and shrimp were great… the gumbo tho… meh :/ The flavors were there but the roux was thin and watery…. More like a soup… definitely not giving what it’s supposed to give… I’ve seen several complaints on this so I hope they revise the recipe because…. No…. The stuffed shrimp…. Definitely not again. Other than that… overall, the rest of the food was good and some of the employees were friendly and welcoming.

I would recommend this location for a lunch time visit. I came by this location as a result of a recommendation from the local hotel. We walked to this location and found the restaurant with a few people already seated inside eating...a good sign since it was lunch time. We immediately located the specials and the menu. A worker at the register spoke with us about the options available. We selected our lunch items and sat at a table to wait for our order number to be called out. We received the food hot and inspected out containers to see which one is our designated meal. I selected the fish with red beans and rice. My spouse selected the chicken and sweet potato fries. Both meals were great and on time. The workers were capable and worked well to get our order out. The line cook was outside on break and inquired if everything was ok. We said yes and we were happy to see the follow up by the worker/owner/interested party.

The food is freshly prepared! We ordered smothered catfish and seafood platter! The gumbo rice was so good!! The french fries that comes with the platter is on point! Catfish and shrimps were fried well! The iced tea was also nice. We are satisfied but the wait was abit longer even at 4pm! So be prepared to wait longer during lunch or dinner time! But it’s worth it!
