From the outside, the building doesn't exactly scream "5-star seafood" -- I think it may have been an old Pizza Hut -- but don't let that fool you. Inside, it's cute, a little kitschy, and most importantly, clean!! There wasn't any type of fishy smell at all! The husband-and-wife owners are absolutely working their tails off, and it shows. The service was warm, attentive, and truly top-notch. You can feel how much pride they take in what they do. We each ordered crab boils and didn't leave a single thing in the bag -- every bite was incredible! Some of the most delicious seafood I've ever had. I almost hesitate to share this hidden gem because I selfishly want it all to myself, but they deserve every bit of recognition. We can't wait to go back and are definitely adding this spot into our regular restaurant rotation!

The old lady don't like seafood like that but this trip was more about our mothers. Her mom couldn't make it, so it was just me, my lady & my mom. I seen the fried catfish with shrimp étouffée & knew that's what I wanted. My mom had the jambalaya & kept stealing my etouffee off my fish. Lol That shit was fire!!!!!! It was so fire we ordered shrimp etouffee with rice for her to go. My lady had a pulled pork poe boy with fries. She said she enjoyed it but I couldn't read her reactions. I think she was a lil tired. We also had beans & rice to go. My service was also good. He was prompt knew the menu & brought the check fast. The restaurant is shotgun style with tables all in one side. If you have a party of 25 or under your good anything over that is pushing it. They have a bar area that's long as the fucking restaurant with what seems like a decent selection but i only drink beer with my seafood so I'll have to get buzzed up some other time. I'll be back soon tho. The cook needs a fucking raise!!!!!!!!! Damn I just thought about it. I wonder if they serve eggs? Hard boiled, poached, scrambled? I'm asking next time. The tartar sauce/remoulade hit so muthafuckas hard tho. I wish took more of it home. *They should make a spicy version IMO, I could only imagine having it with a lil more pop

The…read moreinterior has been remodeled and looks great, love the dark layout and the huge dining room, however the food remains touch and go. Certain dishes are great, others not. Got a huge bread basket that looked empty, when peering in, two small pieces of stale french bread smothered in Saran wrap were visible. Shame all that wasted space. C'mon Gumbo. Don't skimp on the bread. Serve it fresh too! During past dining experiences, the fried shrimp and hushpuppies were much larger. During this visit they were midget sized, like they were "cooking to a price point". That said, Gumbo's always excelled at frying and they tasted great. The fried catfish was dredged in cornmeal and flour. It tasted as good as catfish can taste, considering slimy-stank taste is natural to a bottom feeder and next to impossible to cook out. If you like catfish, gather up a chair, you're in the right place. The gumbo was watery with small dices of sausage and more midget shrimp. The broth had little taste. Mediocre gumbo is a misdemeanor violation. I wrote Gumbo's a ticket on that one. The cajun pasta was very good. In the old days they used bowtie pasta in a thick creamy sauce smacked with Cajun decadence and big ole' shrimps. Today they used penne (not a big deal, but it cheapens the dish) in a disappointly watery sauce with a few midget shrimp. It still tasted good but it quite clear at this point Gumbo's was cooking to a price point. The STAR OF THE SHOW was the shrimp crawfish etouffee. Wow! Thick, creamy, rich gravy with a heavenly base of toasted roux having notes of roasted peanut. They got that one right, midget shrimps and all. I want another bowl NOW! DIATRIBE ALERT: Service wasn't terrible but far from exceptional. The new generation of wait staff expects big tips for mediocre service, like we should should be honored by their presence. I always tip large despite my general grumpiness. Problem is, tipping culture has gotten out of hand. It's become a bottomless pit of greed. Front and back staff with their hands out perpetually. Cash registers programmed to induce tip guilt. Dirty looks for not tipping a carry-out order. CARRY-OUT RULES: If I don't sit down to eat, I ain't tipping your ass. Go back to Nursing School or something like that. Why should the customer pick up the slack for an industry refusing to pay employees a decent wage? SUMMARY: Love the vibe. Like the food. Gumbo's was clearly cooking to a price point. Midget shrimp? Sacriledge. New Orleans ain't like that.

Excellent food hates traveling, so when I'm serious about eating, I travel to it and was glad I grabbed a table to give this food the attention it deserved. Simply great food made by a clearly inspired proprietor who knows his craft. The shrimp and crawfish étouffée and the catfish po'boy were both delicious.

I lived in New Orleans for over 10 years and manage my expectations when I'm outside of that area. Even with this in mind, the food was very underwhelming. The gumbo was just a no.

Pros: excellent catfish dinner, great flavor nice and crispy. Comes with two sides, got mac/cheese, and candied yams. Also ordered separately red beans and rice and collards. All of it was very Very good. Cons: the website was frustrating to use. When I order 2 catfish dinners, it wanted to know which two sides. I Wanted beans and rice, and collards, my wife wanted mac/cheese and yams. It would not allow separate sides. We both got mac/cheese and yams, and I ordered separately collards and beans / rice. If you order, select the first meal with sides, and then the second meal with sides. In summary: excellent food I highly recommend the cat fish. I will order again when visiting Detroit. Thank you.

We started with the catfish fritters, which were a really good way to kick off the meal. For our entrees, we tried the braised oxtail and the SavannahBlue fried chicken. The oxtail was so rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The fried chicken was crispy and comforting. Both were delicious, and sharing two different entrees made the meal even better. Overall, I really enjoyed SavannahBlue: great atmosphere, flavorful food, and a solid choice for a date night in Detroit. I'd happily come back and try more of the menu.

My waitress was amazing, I wish I could remember her name so that I could give her credit but unfortunately I forgot. I ordered a lemon drop martini which wasn't the best, it was really bitter and over powered by alcohol. For my entree I ordered the stuffed Shrimp which I felt could've been bigger, since they were being stuffed, it seemed more like they were topped instead of stuffed. However they came with green beans and a baked potato. I was able to swap out the baked potato for mashed potatoes which were good. I dropped my fork and before I could even get out of my chair there was a server walking by who picked it up and replaced it immediately. I went during the daytime so it was well lit, but I happened to return after dark thinking that I left my jacket there and the lights were dimmed. There's definitely a different vibe here at night-- more elegant and romantic.
