You place your order like a cafeteria style some things take longer like fried chicken and fry fish. Clearly, this place was popular because the line was long. But moved pretty quickly. My family ordered a variety of foods so we all try them together. I thoroughly enjoyed the meatloaf and fried catfish. The mac & cheese wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad and the sweet potatoes were very good. I will definitely return again!

We were the only people who ate in the dining room while we were there, but they do a conservation amount of carry out orders. The collard greens, potato salad, and baked beans are all outstanding. The chicken strips may be frozen, but their fried chicken is stellar, and the perfectly seasoned skin stays crunchy. I have a lot of leftovers for lunch tomorrow from a two piece dinner. I recommend finishing with the sweet potato pie, but I've heard the lemon pound cake is excellent too. I can't wait to come back!!

To begin with, the experience starts before you can get both feet in the door. Being new, Alexis greeted us as if we were new found cousins. Quaint, yet classy, with decor that reflects the warmth of the establishment as a whole. Very clean. Pimp had the Pork Chop dinner with cabbage and collard greens. I had the Catfish with greens and yams. All I can say is ...... who big maw back there putting the foots in them greens??? Everything was impeccable. The wait was ..... wellllll. It was well worth it. What amazed me more than the food was how nearly everyone who walked through that door was GREETED BY NAME. 30 minute drive from my home. We will be back.

Next, we ordered the shrimp po boy , sampler with yams, collards, Mac, mashed potatoes and gravy and cornbread. Amazing. The collards are the best I've had and yams had the perfect spices. We splurged on bean pie for dessert. Do not pass this up. It's unexpected and creamy. We will put this spot on heavy rotation.

This is the only black eating establishment in the area...why don't we deserve better? Definitely will drop-in again! Considering using catering service for Xmas dinner!

My husband really likes this place. For me, it's "meh"! However, knowing that there are NOT many…read moreoptions for soulfood style of eating, I really try to make it work. My Experience: Their fried food is cooked ahead and sits and dries out in the steamer. It appears over fried. Salmon patties, are an unusual offering for a carryout buffet, and one of my favorites, but inconsistent in size. I saw a photo from 2023/2024 store opening with nice and big patties. I have never received patties any where close to that size! Also, can be over done. Turkey chops are fair but size is inconsistent and on the dry side. You need the specialty gravy they provide. I just don't feel excited about the meats available. One day, I will creep outside of my comfort zone and try other meats. I read a review that the pot roast is tasty. Their sides are usually satisfying. I need to explore a couple more options. I would rate this establishment as average.

Chicken was perfection! The perfect amount of batter, chicken was so tender and juicy! I'm not a huge fan of gravy so getting it on the side was perfect for me. My mom got the bourbon maple salmon and the woman ate the whole thing!! She's a leftovers lover, so her finishing her plate is very unlike her!! My friend go the best dish, in my opinion. He got the walleye and fries!! It's HUGE, delicious and fresh!! The tartar sauce is also a hit, something I find is always a hit or miss at restaurants!! We were celebrating a birthday so got the peach cobbler. So yummy!! The only thing I'd change is instead of whipped cream serve with ice cream!! 10/10 would recommend!! Live music on Tuesdays is also a great add on!! Our 20 month old loved the music!

Here from California again and we had to make a pit stop here…read more Everything, is served buffet style by the servers. They also have a full bar. This place is perfect for families, church gatherings, date night, and more. Plus, they play great music. We came on a Saturday afternoon, and thankfully it wasn't crowded. We ordered the Turkey meatloaf, and their meals come with two sides. We also ordered the Turkey chops with the two sides, but we also ordered an extra side. Last, we ordered the catfish dinner. Everything, was delicious. We asked for water with lemon. I came in with my own bottle of water, but was told it was a no-no. It was strange, because the water that was served appeared to be tap water. I dared not ask, because I didn't want to further rock the boat. Thank you Lillie Mae's.

Met chef Aisha and she was wonderfully sweet. So were Miss Lisa and Brandy. Huge shout out to brandy as she was the mixologist. That Mr Bowie was the best!

OMG- I lived in the metro- Detroit area for 15 years and never turned on this street ever. I wanted…read moreto try a restaurant that I had not been to and saw this one on FB and decided to do something different. I have never been so disappointed in a restaurant before. First, the restaurant is up two flights of steps and there is no elevator. I injured my knee and walked up the stairs. Second, when I was seated and shown the menu, I was shocked at the very limited options. They only offer white- meat chicken, no rice or plain sides. I was going to try the greens but the server said they put vinegar on them which I don't care for. The Brussels sprouts with corn is a hard pass. I had no other choice but ordered something that I would never put together as a meal: fried catfish, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with corn. The fish was fried hard and needed seasoning and the sprouts were forgettable. They brought out hot sauce on the side assuming all people want hot/ spicy food. I wanted tartar sauce and they didn't have a traditional sauce- they had a " Cajun- style sauce." My friend had a crab cake for $25. When I called about parking, the hostess mentioned the cash lot behind the restaurant and.a parking structure across the street. She didn't mention that it was extremely expensive, I paid $24.49 for 1 hour and 6 minutes in the structure. Oh, I almost forgot that they added a 20% gratuity automatically for a party of 2! So, overall, my catfish dinner, 1 crab cake appetizer, and $2 up charge for the Brussels brought my bill to $74. Plus, the $24.49 for parking was a $100 night with no liquor only to have to leave and go eat elsewhere as what I wasted money on left me hungry and unsatisfied for sure.

Been awhile since I've eaten at Gumbo's. Gave it another try recently. The parking still sucks. The…read moreinterior has been remodeled and looks great, love the dark layout and the huge dining room, however the food remains touch and go. Certain dishes are great, others not. Got a huge bread basket that looked empty, when peering in, two small pieces of stale french bread smothered in Saran wrap were visible. Shame all that wasted space. C'mon Gumbo. Don't skimp on the bread. Serve it fresh too! During past dining experiences, the fried shrimp and hushpuppies were much larger. During this visit they were midget sized, like they were "cooking to a price point". That said, Gumbo's always excelled at frying and they tasted great. The fried catfish was dredged in cornmeal and flour. It tasted as good as catfish can taste, considering slimy-stank taste is natural to a bottom feeder and next to impossible to cook out. If you like catfish, gather up a chair, you're in the right place. The gumbo was watery with small dices of sausage and more midget shrimp. The broth had little taste. Mediocre gumbo is a misdemeanor violation. I wrote Gumbo's a ticket on that one. The cajun pasta was very good. In the old days they used bowtie pasta in a thick creamy sauce smacked with Cajun decadence and big ole' shrimps. Today they used penne (not a big deal, but it cheapens the dish) in a disappointly watery sauce with a few midget shrimp. It still tasted good but it quite clear at this point Gumbo's was cooking to a price point. The STAR OF THE SHOW was the shrimp crawfish etouffee. Wow! Thick, creamy, rich gravy with a heavenly base of toasted roux having notes of roasted peanut. They got that one right, midget shrimps and all. I want another bowl NOW! DIATRIBE ALERT: Service wasn't terrible but far from exceptional. The new generation of wait staff expects big tips for mediocre service, like we should should be honored by their presence. I always tip large despite my general grumpiness. Problem is, tipping culture has gotten out of hand. It's become a bottomless pit of greed. Front and back staff with their hands out perpetually. Cash registers programmed to induce tip guilt. Dirty looks for not tipping a carry-out order. CARRY-OUT RULES: If I don't sit down to eat, I ain't tipping your ass. Go back to Nursing School or something like that. Why should the customer pick up the slack for an industry refusing to pay employees a decent wage? SUMMARY: Love the vibe. Like the food. Gumbo's was clearly cooking to a price point. Midget shrimp? Sacriledge. New Orleans ain't like that.
