When friends become family!…read more The dictionary defines family as people connected by blood, legal ties like marriage or adoption, or strong emotional bonds. Herb and the entire staff at Voodoo Gumbo established a strong emotional bond with my family and me over four years ago, and EVERY TIME I come to Nashville, this is my go-to place to enjoy great food and even better company. I came back to celebrate my recent retirement following 25 years of service in the Air Force. Not only did Herb remember me, but he thought it no robbery to celebrate me with a very special dessert--I've totally been sleeping on the bread pudding and beignet on Sunday--IYKYK! The food here is always top tier--no wonder they have such a high rating with over 500 reviews-- but the personal touches are next level. Thanks always.

We were greeted when we walked in, told to pick a seat, and then order and pay at the counter. I was excited because it had been a while since I had étouffée. I will say, the menu prices felt pretty high considering the overall experience is pretty much self-service. We ordered the boudin balls, catfish with mac and cheese, and the étouffée. Now, I can honestly say the sauce that came with the boudin balls was DELICIOUS. That. Was. The. Star. Unfortunately, we weren't really fans of the rest. The catfish portion was pretty skimpy, and the étouffée needed more flavor. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't memorable. For the price, I expected a little more from both the food and the overall experience.

They have it all in back of an Asian restaurant. it's probably not the fault of the Asian restaurant employee that was helping me, but she didn't know. I could've been more specific however I don't think that would've made a difference if I'd ask for it. I think the lack of quality of the places that they're in or can't show their showcase their quality will hurt them in the long run. I crave seafood. I came from California 30 years and I used to scuba dive and get my own. They did a great job when they were in I don't know what happened, but it's not the same.

My sister ordered the crawfish étouffée, which was well-seasoned with just the right amount of kick. It came with plenty of rice and crawfish, making it a hearty and satisfying dish. I ordered the shrimp wedge salad, and they definitely did not skimp on the shrimp! The blackened shrimp was perfectly seasoned and paired wonderfully with the bleu cheese dressing. A nice surprise was the bacon--not crumbled on top, but two large slices that added great flavor and texture. We also enjoyed a couple of cocktails. I ordered the Flower Drop, which was recommended by the bartender, and it was absolutely delicious. My sister chose the Golden Hour, which was a bit more spirit-forward compared to my drink but still very enjoyable. Overall, everything was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was great. Ambiance low key which I love and family friendly as it's set in the Factory! I'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst seafood meals I've had in a long time…read more We started with the spinach dip, which was actually very good, and my husband really enjoyed his oysters on the half shell. I wish the rest of the meal had been on that same level. I ordered the peel and eat shrimp boil and specifically asked for the Cajun butter on the side. Everything in the boil seemed extremely overcooked. The eggs had the green ring around the yolks that you get when they've been boiled far too long, the corn was so tough and overcooked that it was nearly impossible to eat, and the sausage tasted very cheap and also overcooked. The shrimp were the biggest disappointment. Several had a green goo inside that was incredibly unappetizing, and after seeing that, I could barely continue eating the meal. Even the Cajun butter was disappointing. It tasted like butter mixed with the seasoning packet from instant ramen rather than a flavorful Cajun butter. I really wanted to like this place, especially since the appetizer and oysters were good, but my entrée was honestly awful. For a restaurant specializing in Cajun seafood, I expected much better quality and preparation. I left having barely eaten my dinner and feeling like the entire boil was a waste.

Y'all, if you are looking for fresh crawfish in Nashville, this is my local favorite!!…read moreUnfortunately crawfish season typically ends at the end of May. The season for fresh crawfish is typically from March - May. The owner is extremely friendly and is always there on scene, he is from New Orleans so he wanted to bring that flair to Nashville. He has done just that. They have Po Boys, boudin balls, gumbo, etc. This has your local neighborhood watering hole feel to it, kinda like a cheers where everyone knows your name. They have indoor and outdoor seating and are dog friendly, so bring the fur babies! They don't have the typical table service, you go to the back to order your food and then they bring it out. If you sit at the bar, it is full service. Crawfish can be done wrong but this place has never disappointed me, and Nashville needs to support this place. Thank you for bringing Nola to Nashville. I'm a big fan of this place, and I'm sure you will be too. Great vibes, great people, and delicious crawfish! Cheers & Enjoy!
