    I came across Gumbo Kitchen walking down Canal St. It is a fast/casual cajun + Creole restaurant. I stopped by to try their gumbo. The staff were great. They were very attentive. I recieved my order and tried the gumbo. At first glance, all the good things are in there: chicken, sausage, okra, onions, rice, etc in a roux based meal. It had good flavor, but I thought it was ok. They offer other classical favorites. I will definitely try next time I am in town.

    We popped in for lunch since this place was between our hotel and where our tour bus dropped us off. We wanted a little quicker service than a sit-down restaurant and this fast-casual place seemed to fit the bill. You order at the counter and pick up your food when ready. There's not a ton of seating, but that was fine for a late lunch. My wife's red beans and rice were good and filling. Slightly disappointed in my Peacemark Po Boy which was supposed to have shrimp and oysters but was mostly shrimp. Some might bristle at the prices but it was on par with other joints in this area.

    Got the chicken/sausage gumbo....SOOO good. The thickness, chunks of chicken/sausage, and spices were perfectly made together. Must try if you're in New Orleans!

    We were wandering around waiting for the Halloween Parade to start and we decided to grab a snack at this spot. It's in a fairly busy, tourist area so we weren't expecting much. We decided to share a half of a shrimp po boy and a cup of gumbo. This really hit the spot. The shrimp were plump and fresh. Perfectly fried. The gumbo was plentiful, filled with meat and had great flavor. The place was poppin and there was not much room . We shared a common table. Anyway. We had a belly full in a live spot and enjoyed ourselves

    The guys working the counter are nice. Everything is fried to order so it's takes 5-10 mins for you po boy to come out. You can enjoy a nice booze filled ice slush drink while you wait. My po boy was okay The doors were all open and it was 90F with a dew point of 75F so it felt miserable in there. Good people watching to be hand on a corner of Canal St

    Came in for a quick bite because I really wanted to try Gumbo especially from New Orleans. A cup of gumbo with half a shrimp Po'Boy for only $20, I don't think was bad, considering it's right on Canal & Royal. The cashiers were not very welcoming but eh, it was only for a quick bite. Other than that the gumbo was amazing! I've had it before but New Orleans definitely makes it even better! The shrimp Po'Boy was also fantastic, I can't get enough of how well seasoned everything is! Absolutely incredible!

    We were heading back from visiting the local superbowl events and were walking through, looking for a place to go and eat as it'd be a late dinner for us! This place seems to be new and the foot traffic seemed a little quieter in there so we decided to give it a try. The dishes we tried were the shrimp po boy and crawfish etoufee. Both were made fresh after us ordering yet service was super slow (in ringing a few of us and ordering food) yet im guessing they are a new place and are still figuring things out. Those who ate there, including us, seemed pretty content regardless of the food :) Given its location, menu, & food - this place has potential!

    amazing food especially the red beans and rice. that was suggested from the cashier and it was the best choice. literally didnt put my spoon down until the bowl was done. very flavorful. small place to sit in but more of a to go place

    Bomb! This is authentic New Orleans cuisine. You may wait for a few but it's worth it.

    Boudin balls amazing…read more Meatiness of oysters Alligator tenderr Like that you dont feel so full but satisfied Cochon yummy and tender ... The grits made like my momma Old review from before the pandemic that i never posted

    Y'all. Y'ALL…read more Are you in NoLa for some reason? Any reason at all? Are you hungry??? Do you like cocktails, and a well-curated wine list, and an INSANE bourbon list? Do you like a plate of food that speaks classy without punching you in the wallet, and servers who don't hover, but can answer even the most random questions you could have about the stuff on your plate? Look no further, friend. Right off the bat, after arriving on a Friday around 4:45 PM we were seated promptly, given water and the tastiest little sweet yeast rolls ever (the tops actually crackled when you squish them you guys), and made our bevvie choices. Tonic with lime for me (I'm behaving rn) and an Old Fashioned for wifey. Killer. We skipped the appetizer course and ended up ordering off the specials menu for both meals. She got braised brisket with deviled egg potato salad (fantastic!) and I got grilled Amberjack with roasted Brussels, topped with pickled peppers, onion, capers, and a drizzle of olive oil and Crema. Did I mention this place has a rustic atmosphere, and cozy feel, AND a Michelin recco without a dress code required?!? We had Lemon Buttermilk Icebox pie for dessert... MY GODS. This pile of words I just typed doesn't do this place justice. Chef Link has got something special going here, and his butcher shop next door is totally groovy too. I can't rave enough about this place, and I wish it wasn't so dang far from Texas, but hey, it's just another in a list of damn fine reasons to come visit the fine folks of NoLa again.

    OMG!!!! This place was sooo freaking good!!! The seasoning and sauce was perfect for what we asked…read morefor. I came with a friend who had never had a seafood boil. I've never had crawfish and seeing it was crawfish season we were destined to be here. We built out our own seafood boil, which included, 1lb shrimp head off, 2 soft shell crab clusters, 1lb crawfish, corn, potato, and sausage. Let's just say we left with a pretty big leftovers box We ordered the hot house flavor and do not regret it one bit! Our server was so kind to show us how to peel and eat the crawfish and honestly it was so fun!! I will definitely be back next time in New Orleans!! One quick note I will say that I learned from a local that I wish I knew before this feast (And you should double check with staff if this info is correct). Most seafood boil places in the area when they have headless shrimp it is farmed and brought in from outside retailers where if you get head-on it's from local ships in the area/fresh caught. Apparently they've been struggling and if you want to support New Orleans local fisherman then go for the head-on shrimp. Again double check with staff if their head-on shrimp is local cuz I learned this information after visiting.

    Ordered fried alligator bites and popcorn shrimp as appetizers...these alone were probably 4 stars…read morebut it went down hill after that. Took 30 min into the meal to receive the gumbo we ordered. Server would disappear for 20/30 min increments. As our meal we ordered snow crab slam - the shell was seasoned but meat was bland. Also tried the jumbo shrimp plate with fried rice, rice was very dry! Overall disappointing for 1st time in New Orleans. Ps. Restrooms were filthy!!!!
