    I had been meaning to go here for what seems like forever and we had such a nice time. The service was excellent. I felt like the roux could've been better on the gumbo or needed more file powder for my liking. We really liked the Cuban sandwich, Mac n cheese and hush puppies. I loved the bananas foster, simple but delicious. I liked they had the bar area or dining room to eat in. There were a couple other things I wanted to try so we'll definitely be back.

    Shrimp and grits on the brunch menu is amazing!

    As a Louisiana native, I can say this place is the real deal. The Sunday brunch is fantastic with plenty of options. The stuffed French toast is served with a homemade strawberry sauce that pleases the pickiest tastebuds. The catfish is perfectly fried and served with tasty hush puppies. The shrimp and grits were a favorite and left me wanting to lick the plate. The sweet tea brought me back home to my granny's dining table and childhood memories. All of this with the ambiance and hospitality of New Orleans makes it one of the best places Macomb County has to offer.

    I love this place! Even more now that we live so close by. My favorite is the hush puppies and fried okra. I could eat that all day. Got a bite of the catfish and it was perfect! Will be back again.

    The trio with red beans, gumbo, and creole.

    I'm a cajun food enthusiast. I had the trio with red beans and rice, gumbo and shrimp creole. I thought they were all right on target. The flavors were great and the spice was perfect. A very nice setting with great service.

    The food was okay. I should have ordered something else besides what was on the lunch menu. The establishment is very nice. You could have a drink and hangout with friends. Very New Orleans style decor. They even have hurricane drinks. Throughout the week they have all type of entertainment going on. You should check it out downtown areas. Cute little city. On Fridays there's live concerts. .

    The fried okra is good. The dipping sauce good. Doesn't reheat great so eat it while it's hot.

    There isn't a very exciting food scene in Mt Clemens I'm sorry to say. It's a great little town but the dining options can be mweh! Gumbo's is good not mweh. On Friday I dined at Gumbo's for my second time. I was not disappointed. The service was great, the food was great and I was happy. If you like creole like food you'll like Gumbo's.

    This place will be added to my list of places to go back to. The staff were very friendly, nice and accommodating. We had a group of 6 and they were very attentive and helpful. It is a family friendly restaurant with a nice fully loaded bar. Jenn the bartender was so nice & whipped us anything we asked for. The food was just as I expected...DELICIOUS! Some of our favorites were the Mac and cheese, crawfish & shrimp Étouffée, Cajun pasta and the drinks! S/n: Don't order the candied yams if you like sweet yams, it wasn't as good as expected. But everything else was 10/10. I'll recommend this place to everyone. I'll be back to try more from the menu! Thank you for making our first time there such a great experience. Good food, good drinks & good company!

    1/2 sandwich and red beans and rice

    Downtown Mt Clemens within walking distance of Macomb county offices. Open at 11 most days but closed Sunday. Metered parking in front. Food is great. I had the N.O. Medley ... cup of each jambalaya, gumbo and etouffee. All were distinct flavors with plenty of meats, shrimp and rice. Added the good cornbread. Partner had the daily special 1/2 sandwich and cup of red beans and rice. They offer soda, tea and lemonade. Service was good. Only negative was a 4% upcharge added for using a credit card. I wouldnt have known it if i didn't ask after they ran my card.

    This establishment is never disappoints and NEVER dissatisfies! 10/10! 5 Stars! I could eat here everyday. The service is fast, food is HOT the seating areas will have you saying "wow" outloud! There 3 different vibes inside, 1st is where you order food at the front register, 2nd is the seating are on to the left side of the restaurant and that's more formal family seating vibes. The room on the right is "let's sit at the bar play some beer games and watch some tv while we eat" that's the side I sat down at and I had the best time! I tried one of the $10 giant drinks and that thing had me peeled lol! One definitely will get you there. We had Mac n cheese bites for the first time and are now addicted so there's that. We had the regular cut of Mac n cheese and I got a corner piece so I was definitely happy about that and I'm just gonna say it the mac & cheese is made with love and it taste like Black people mac & cheese, so I am definitely happy about that! The jambalaya will always be my favorite. I'll never not get that. We had ordered our food to go before, realizing the seating area was so nice, and we were still allowed to sit and eat from our to go bowls Moral of the story gumbos is a 10 out of 10 restaurant with food and diversity and efficiency and quality. There's plenty of parking. There's plenty of seating, there's no wait, there's a hot plate of food waiting for you. go try it out.!

    The gumbo is fantastic. The étouffée is runny, but has great flavor too. I haven't let that stop me from getting it several times.

    Tried it for first time tonight. The shrimp creole was not very good at all. Too much garlic and overbearing.

    Do they serve beer/liquor/wine?

    They have expanded over the years to include a full bar. Beer, wine and liquor, including signature cocktails and draught beer.

    How is the parking there? Do we have to park on the street or is there a parking lot on the side or back of the building. If only on the street, is it parallel parking or angular?

    It's downtown Mt Clemens so parking is what is. There is parallel street parking in front and a parking lot in back.

    We've always loved Bentley's Roadhouse, it's half bar and half restaurant with a live band one…read moreweekends. We ordered two of our usual favorites -- the Asiago chicken over angel hair pasta for me and the Cajun shrimp pasta for my husband. We also both started with the French onion soup, which is always amazing and one of the reasons we keep coming back. It was an unusually busy night because the owners were in the process of selling the restaurant, so the place was packed. Unfortunately, service wasn't the best this time. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed and often forgot about us while chatting with other tables. The food was still good overall, though my Asiago chicken came out a bit dry since it was lacking sauce. Once we mentioned it, it was corrected. Definitely not our best experience at Bentley's, but we still love the menu and the restaurant. We're really hoping the new owners keep the same great food standards because this has been one of our favorite spots for a long time.

    I have been eating at Bentleys for about 20 years my wife and I found it to be our special place to…read morehave dinner, (ie.birthdays, anniversaries, or just date night). Food was always good and the atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming. Last night my wife, my daughter and a neighbor went to dinner their. We retired to FL 7 yrs ago so when we come to town we make it a point to stop at least once for dinner. To make a long story short we ended up walking out. The hostess sat us next to the waitress station and their we sat for a little more then 10 min. and nobody and I mean nobody stopped at our table as we watched a parade waitress go back and forth. No one stopped by, not a hello not a can I get you a drink, nothing. The place was less then half empty and their were only 3 people at the bar, all of which seemed very rare to me, seeing it was just after 7. So we got up and left, as we were heading to the door a young lady asked what the problem was, we explained and she offered us a drink if we stayed. At that point it was to late. So we went to Wise Guys and had great service and good food. I found out later that Curtis and Annette had sold the place and that seemed to answer my bewilderment. So in closing if you go their to eat, good luck, but don't bother looking for us.
