Food was good. Expected more flavor / spice from a Cajun based menu. Everything that I tried was closer to bland than spicy. But everyone has their personal preference. Service was very good. We arrived at 5:00. Only a few tables were occupied. We had a party of 8 & could not be seated until "I see everyone's faces." Two in our party were elderly & took 3-4 minutes to get in the door from parking. I felt like I was on the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld. We ordered 4 appetizers, so it would not have been an issue to be seated just a few minutes ahead of them, in my opinion. Would definitely eat there again if in the area, but wouldn't make the 40 minute drive again. read more

A cozy Cajun spot in the heart of downtown Boyd, Texas! They have a rotating menu and they don't allow substitutions. The food is excellent. I don't think I've ever had anything that I didn't like and I think I've had every item on the menu. Some of my favorites are the shrimp and grits, the seafood hush puppies, and the red fish. You can BYOB if you like. The desserts are to die for... IYKYK ;) read more

Outstanding as always! A group of 10 of us early in a Saturday evening and we were well taken care of by our waiter. I did miss his name because of the noise level. I had the halibut which was perfectly cooked. My husband had the jambalaya pasta and he couldn't quit talking about how good it was. We took zero pictures but just know this is a great place every time we come. It is a busy little place so get there early or plan on waiting. read more

gogo gumbo! - Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Boyd, Texas

We've been looking forward to eating here since it was on tv many years ago, and we were finally in the area close enough to make a stop for dinner on Friday night. As we entered, all that we could smell was fresh paint. And not the clean fresh smell of paint, but more of a pungent won't be able to taste anything paint. We overheard others asking about the smell as they had finished eating and the hostesses said there was painting going on next door. I had looked over the menu online before arriving and noted the snarkiness and sarcasm - don't ask for substitutions and incomplete parties will not be sat. With 2 of 3 of us there, we were snarled at and tossed a pager and told to let them know when the other person arrives. Ok, I get it. It's a small place, it would slow table turns to seat incomplete parties OR we could've added to the ticket by purchasing appetizers and drinks while waiting. But ok, we waited a whole 2 minutes and our 3rd arrived. Very excited to try the food and figured out our order. We ordered the crab dip and bread. The bread was good, but the crab dip was no more than real crab (at least!) mixed with cream cheese. It was visually unappealing and tasted just as lackluster. My cats would've appreciated it. Needless to say we pushed it to the table's edge and the server thought it meant we wanted it boxed to go. Got 2 of the TV dinners (very cute concept!) as it was basically a bento box of assorted items from the menu. The gumbo broth was good, the protein in it was quantifiable, but tasted like there was not much simmer time or seasoning to let all the flavors gain some depth. The texture of the shrimp & grits was slimy and inedible - and I've had many shrimp & grits which is one of my favorite dishes...but not here. The goat cheese salad was amazing! Best thing I had overall. And then came dessert, we ordered the bread pudding and the fancy dessert was cornmeal blueberry upside down cake. The bread pudding was all wrong. The formed shape and smooth texture was nothing like a bread pudding should be. The blueberry cake was very close to a Cracker Barrel blueberry pancake, but even more overloaded with berries. At least it sort of felt good for you. We didn't eat much of those either, and the arrogance of the ambiance didn't even cross our server's mind that we were displeased. I guess he thought we just wanted to take it all home? The server's service was good, except for reading the table. The hostesses were too preoccupied with her family also dining there. The prices were fair for the serving size and food quality. The atmosphere was nice, except for the overpowering paint smell. Needless to say, we won't have any reason to return. I know this is a favorite restaurant for the area, but we were not even slightly won over. That's ok, that's why there's variety, choices, and the freedom to choose. Best of luck! read more

This place has gone through quite a few changes with the new owner. Menu is still pretty much the same but there are some really nice standouts. The Lobster Ravioli was superb. About 8 soft pillows filled with lobster meat with a nice Alfredo type sauce. It also comes with six shrimp, diced asparagus, blistered tomato. Good sized serving, excellent preparation and one happy Wife. I had the shrimp and crawfish etoufe. Was a little disappointed in this one because the sauce was very thin, less viscous than a light gravy. The shrimp were great, the flavor of the sauce was excellent and the asparagus and steamed rice were good. I also had a cup of shrimp and crab gumbo, still a standout of all gumbos. Finally my MIL had the vaunted Bento Box with crab cake, gumbo, shrimp and grits, and the gogo salad fill a beautiful Japanese bento box. She couldn't sing its praises enough. We shared a fried green bean appetizer which was crispy, cooked perfectly and served with a wasabi ranch sauce. Deserts were the "To Die For" and house made salted caramel Ice cream. All of it perfection and served by knowledgable severs, quick and professional with food runners spot on timing wise. The place is super clean, lighting just so, and a warm atmosphere. If the sauce on the etoufe would have been thicker, this would be a five star rating. read more

Small out of the way place. Wednesday they have prime rib with twice backed and fresh green beans. 30 dollars and it was a good size portion for me. Not your run of the mill cafe/restaurant very good food every time. Limited seating because it is small but that adds to the charm. read more

The food is for sure ok. The service is very good. The ambiance isn't great but it's ok. I really want to like this place and don't get me wrong it's ok but not very spicy and I prefer my Louisiana food spicy. They do have Tabasco sauce which helps. It's not inexpensive so probably for me there are other places I prefer. read more

Always great food! A little hole-in-wall restaurant in Boyd. Save room for dessert and bring your own wine.

First things to point out is the service. Everything was on point and took the time to give recommendations. Next, food was very good and the portion size will have you taking food home. Finally is the desserts. No matter how full you must try. It was so nice to support local and to be in a restaurant that was very busybut you can have conversations without screaming. Take time to eat here you won't regret it. read more

We started with a crab dip appetizer, and then shared the gumbo, because how could we not get the gumbo?? The kids each got fried catfish and popcorn shrimp and both liked their meal. Hubby got the Jambalaya Pasta, which he loved. I got the southwest seafood something? They change their menu pretty often so I'm not sure what it was called, but it was great! The desserts all looked amazing, but we all shared the Jack Daniel's chocolate mousse pie and the bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream. Holy smokes-both were great! We were pleasantly surprised by the food served at this restaurant! There's a reason this place is known as the "fancy place in Boyd". I highly recommend! Hubby said this has been his favorite spot we have tried so far read more

We have been here 3 times since our move to this area Now to be fair My friends rant and rave of how great authentic Cajun cooking it is Well it isn't that level of a backwoods Cajun restaurant But It is a good to great place to eat I have their redfish dish which is quite good Prime rib - which was almost cooked to perfection Deserts you can't grow wrong as they are all made from scratch The other drawback is this is such a staple of the better restaurants in this area you need to arrive early as the outside is usually a long one read more

We had dinner here last night. We were told it would be about 30 minutes until a table was available and we actually surprised we thought it would be longer. We ended up being seated within 15 minutes which was AMAZING! Once seated we were able to order pretty quickly as we knew the menu very well I can't believe I've never reviewed this establishment before. my friend ordered the dinner with the shrimp and crab gumbo a great choice for someone that wants to try a little bit of everything. We also had the hot crab dip which was amazing and I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. We were so full that we passed on dessert but look forward to trying one in the future. The restaurant was pleasantly busy but not overly loud which was nice. Our server spent very little time with us, but we understand he was busy. We will be back! read more

First time checking this place out. I am highly allergic to crab so I should have reviewed the menu before coming. A lot of the food has real crab so if you love crab... this place is for you! I ordered the halibut with brusselsprouts because it's a crab free dish. I enjoyed the meal, butter sprouts were good. The fish was a little over cooked but still good. The place gets packed so be prepared! Also BRING Your Own Wine! It has a shabby chic vibe! read more

Exceptional food for a small town. Good service and quaint old building. Had the TV Bento Box, great gumbo shrimp and grits and crab cake. Kids chicken tender meal was two small nuggets so wouldn't recommend it. read more

Small town place for sure. Steady line of people at the door, nice decorations inside with perfect lighting. We started with some hush puppies for hen the crab dip and garlic bread, very good. Hush puppies are served with a marmalade sauce and what tasted like a honey mustard style sauce. The corn bread catfish was very good, plump and fresh. The bento plate was good, served with gumbo, crab cake, shrimp and grits and salad. The redfish pontchartrain was good, a little on the over cooked side but sauce made up for it. Service was excellent, waiter had knowledge of the menu and a great time. read more

We did takeout and all orders must be done on line. That was a huge frustration and required a second call to get the "secrets" of using the website ordering. The food, however, was delicious from the gumbo to the salads to the salmon to the pasta, and it was ready on time! Glad we did takeout because the line was out the door. I'm glad business is so good! read more

We have been meaning to go and give this place a try since we moved here last year. Man, I am so mad we waited this long! The place is called GoGo Gumbo in Boyd. Everything is house made and freaking amazing. What you see pictured is called the TV dinner. It's a Bento box with crab cake and slaw, chicken and sausage gumbo(you can upgrade to crab and shrimp gumbo), shrimp and grits and a GoGo salad(baby greens, baby spinach, sliced pecans, feta cheese and house made balsamic). Also my daughter's Cole slaw and one of the hush puppies from her dinner. She gave it to me willingly! Everything on the plate was freaking amazing. The crab cake was tender and almost melted in my mouth. Shrimp and grits was cooked to perfection and creamy. Salad was crisp fresh and down right delicious. The gumbo was seasoned perfectly and piping hot. I almost melted the roof of my mouth. Not pictured is the key lime pie. So fresh and tart, again simply amazing! Well worth the drive and it will not be our last time for sure! read more

gogo gumbo! - TV dinner - Seafood Near Me - Boyd, Texas

This is not my first time here and can't excuse myself for not posting a review before. We have driven up from Fort Worth 3-4 times, specifically just to eat dinner here. Thankfully the dining room is finally opened back up after being closed for months due to Covid. Get here early at they open at 4pm and close at 9pm 4 days a week. Bring your own booze to if you want. You'll never expect New Orleans style ( and quality ) cajun food in the middle of a country town. That's exactly what you'll experience. Once you step inside the restaurant you'll feel like you're on the gulf coast. We started with the seafood hush puppies. These are little nuggets of pure pleasure. The outside is crispy and inside soft and packed full of flavor. Hands down the best hush puppies I've eaten EVER!! My wife and I split a bowl of shrimp and grits then the smoked seafood plate. So I'll start with the shrimp/grits. Seasoned perfectly and large scrumptious shrimp - and they don't scrimp on the shrimp either..LOL The seafood plate is A LOT of food and every bite better than the last. It has two LARGE scallops, stuffed lobster tail, shrimp and salmon. As if that's not enough a healthy heaping of the best mac n' cheese and green beans. Everything cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. Even down to the perfectly seasoned green beans. Make sure you leave room for dessert. The homemade desserts are every bit worth the drive as the entrees. We chose the To Die Four and Bread pudding. My choice was to die for cake that was mouth watering good. It has layers of fruit, cream, graham cracker and wafers and this incredible raspberry sauce. We were so full I had to pack 1/2 of it up and take home. My wife had the bread pudding and loved it. Now, I'm not a bread pudding fan but this was so good I took a second bite. This place is worth the drive.. Just look on the wall when you walk in to see reviews of them in all the major Texas magazines and newspapers. read more

Birthday month is coming to an end. My sponsor made a great selection. My sister Colleen joined us on this adventure. A small downtown row of shops houses this restaurant. Limited parking so we parked remotely and walked over. I selected the TV Tray - described by our server as "it has everything on it" , well 4 items. But they were fantastic. My sponsor ordered the Jambalaya pasta dish, my sister ordered the fried catfish. As an appetizer we had the Hot Crab Dip with Garlic bread. Of course we had to have dessert, they each had the Bread Pudding with Ice cream. I had a chocolate type cake with a lot of whipped cream. If you have accessibility issues, take care of the bathroom business before coming here. We had a wonderful time. It is worth the drive. read more

I give it a three but I want to give it a 2.... I think I wanted to give it a 2 bc I drove an hour to the place and waited 2.5 hours to be seated. (Rolls eye emoji) While we wait outside in the heat everyone is saying how outstanding the food is. I think they all put a little too much on it. The food is eh... it's ok. Nothing stood out to make me want to make that drive and wait that long for the food. The ru in the gumbo was burned but the sausage in the gumbo was good. Barely any chicken in it. The fish was cool, nothing to RAVE about. The pasta wasn't memorable but I DONT think it was NASTY My wife took one bite of the crab cakes and didn't finish them. Didn't like them I think this place is probably really good when you live in town. They had so many elements working against before we even got to eat. I'll give it a 3 and still say support local businesses but I definitely won't make the drive back out there. If I am ever in town again I willq eat at the pizza place next door!!! I got my son a small pizza bc he was hungry during the 2 hour wait read more

Small town location, but packed with folks! Saturday night and our wait was only like 20 min so not bad. Sat at the counter with my wife and while not a booth or table, still was nice. We had apps and dinner. The chicken & sausage gumbo was a little salty, but still excellent flavor and deep rich color you would expect to see. Wife had crab dip and garlic bread and loved it. We ended up taking home leftovers and enjoyed again the next day. Looking forward to returning! read more

I really am excited that our friends took us here, before the COVID19 Quarantine. Planning to go back, as soon as we can! We are from New Orleans, and from the time to walk in, until you leave it feels like you are in a NOLA restaurant. It is BYOB, so each couple brought a bottle. The restaurant gave us their pimento cheese to try complimentary, which was very nice, especially because it was delicious. We shared the Crab Dip, for an appetizer. I I had the Crab Cake dinner. It was delicious and the French Fries brought back memories, of eating on the Lake Front, in New Orleans. My husband and one of our friends had the Shrimp & Grits, which they really enjoyed. The desserts all looked amazing. We decided to have the Bread Pudding, which was different than what I am used to, but very moist and delicious. read more

Came in town while on a visit to a local golf resort and was informed by locals to try out Go Go Gumbo. I'm a big fan of cajun/creole food so it was nice to get a recommendation that I love. Not sure if I'm with the hype on this place.....the service was great overall, very high energy and lots of hospitality...but the food was sorely lacking. I started with the soft shell crab appetizer and it was covered in a salty batter...much like fish batter and the crab was undetectable. The salad was just OK....wasn't a big fan of the cilantro ranch dressing... The stuffed shrimp were pretty bland as were the rice and veggies that came with it. The bread pudding was a hit at the table but not driving back 90 minutes for it. read more

Still in Texas with another recommendation - a little "hole in the wall" place with BIG flavors and friendly attitudes. I tried the "TV Dinner" bento box with chicken+sausage gumbo, shrimp and grits, crab cake and GoGo salad - each bringing a contrast of flavors which kept the entree refreshing (highly recommend). We ended things off with ice cream (salted caramel made in house) and a big a$$ slice of Jack Daniel's chocolate cake - both of which were amazing. read more

So there is always so much hype about this place so I've given it 3 x the chance and I'm just not understanding. The gumbo is subpar. It had two pieces of shrimp didn't see any crab meat and the roux was bland. The soft shell crab tasted like fish as tho they cooked it in the fish grease. Needless to say we left more then half of our food. The service was good. read more

First impression from our waiter was me asking for a beer / wine menu and his response being it's BYO like it's always been. My response was well I've never been here. Very off putting and distasteful. Bathrooms need an update and not clean. Food wasn't great for their prices. Asked for dessert to-go and was told they couldn't get ice cream to-go even though they advertise that ice cream and gumbo to-go. Gogo gumbo can gooo gooo eff off. read more

My husband and I dined here tonight while we are in town. I'm not a seafood lover so ordered the fettuccini alfredo with the blackened chicken. The noodles are even house made and had a perfect texture. Very good dish. He ordered the bento box which is called the TV Dinner. It came with a crab cake and sauce, go go salad (greens with feta, cranberries, pecans and house made balsamic dressing), shrimp and grits as well as gumbo (shrimp and crab was an up charge). He thought all of it was excellent, especially the gumbo. Our server, Steven, was fantastic. So kind. He never let our drinks go empty and had a lovely demeanor. I will definitely request his section in the future. Finally, we finished with the Jack Daniels chocolate mousse pie. I can't recommend it enough! read more
