    Roast beef po-boy and gravy fries
    John L. H.

    Gus's is a casual dining restaurant in downtown Folsom. On a recent trip to a nursery outside of Folsom, we stopped in at Gus's for lunch. As we walked in I was reminded of so many small town restaurants I have been to over the years. The menu was posted on the wall above the register. Once we ordered, we sat down and our server came and asked what we ordered. This was a nice touch since most times you order at a counter you get a number for your table. Even though we were far from New Orleans I was craving a roast beef po-boy, so I ordered that with some gravy fries. The po-boy was pretty good. The roast beef seemed homemade and the bread was correct. The gravy fries were just ordinary. The cheese used was sliced american which detracted from the dish. Service was very prompt and friendly. Everyone we encountered seemed genuinely happy. Next time I am in Folsom, I will be sure to stop in.

    Old Boys table, Saturday morning at Gus's
    Carlton G.

    I came into Gus's after a quick drive up and down Main Street revealed this was the only open option at 7am on Saturday. After looking over the menu I opted for the spinach feta omelet, subbing tomatoes for the diced sausage bacon or ham. After only 5-10 minute wait, the waitress/cashier brought my plate along with a *side* of tomatoes, apologizing that they weren't IN the omelet. I said I'd take it like that, reluctantly. Well, the grits were fine, but the omelet was not. Actually tasted fishy (?), and the spinach was not fresh, and tasted like it never was! I tried two bites and pushed it away. That isn't like me. The coffee was good though. Good enough. And the glass of water smelled of dish soap, so I didn't drink that either. :-( Whenever I come into a place like this, I have high hopes that I'll be stumbling on a hidden gem. Of course, can't expect a winner every time. After today's visit, I wouldnt expect it here. Sad to say, but hopefully just an off morning! Good aspects include plenty of seating, including several larger tables for groups, waitress was nice enough, and small town retirees lend an authentic din. And the coffee was passable. ‍

We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

She had recently remembered they opened and we are always looking to try the new spots. We decided to just do takeout this evening as neither of us felt much like going out. After searching the menu we both decided on the Ebony Wings with the sweet bourbon sauce. She choose to do a side salad,I choose the bowl of seafood gumbo. We ordered, the Lady on phone was very welcoming and friendly and kindly took the order informed us it'd be 20mins,stated that if we drove up to front she'd gladly bring it out to us. I chose to go in when I got there to survey the new establishment and kind check the vibe, and Wow the restaurant is absolutely fantastic. Compared to the normal establishments in Bogalusa this is definitely top tier with the decor and seating. When we arrived back at the house and opened the boxes we were definitely surprised by the care took in the presentation of a to-go order. The wings tasted as good as they looked loved the sweet and spice! The Gumbo was good also better then average for sure also served with a slice of grilled bread which I enjoyed alot. My wife's side salad was awesome she said as most place don't put that many veggies in just a plain side salad,she was pleasantly surprised. So all this being said was definitely a good first experience for us. Look forward to going to dine in next time and trying more items on the menu. Great job

Beyond that, the food and service are simply perfect every time. I enjoyed some small plates last night, including an espresso martini, the tuna crisp and the soup de jour: tomato basil. Everything was served at the perfect temp, cold for drinks and crisp and piping hot for the soup. The martini was standalone and had the perfect hints of chocolate essence and level of sweetness. It was more coffee than liqueur which I loved and the drink was pleasant without it tasting too much like the spirit. I do mine with gin and they always do such a great job. The tuna crudo was good, and presented so nice with a pour-over of the agua chile tableside. I do feel like it was missing some spice and salt, leaving it to fall a bit flat. However it was incredibly fresh! The soup was a perfect way to end my night, light enough but also filling. So creamy and good. A major thank you and recognition for Nathan. He is an excellent bartender, server and had amazing suggestions for menu items and drinks. He kindly asked the kitchen for extra requests and helped making our dining experience memorable. As my friends ran late, I was seated at the bar alone for a while and he was personable and engaging.
