Great service and the food actually taste like AUTHENTIC Cajun food not creole from New Orleans

This is the best restaurant catfish I've ever had. Not quite as good as the catfish my MawMaw made from catfish my cousin caught in the bayou (real story), but honestly, pretty darn close. So: 2nd best catfish ever, but honestly, from a restaurant?! In Nashville?! Yeah, it's friggin amazing: taste of home. The gumbo is good, too. It doesn't have okra, but it's very tasty. 100% sure there's some filé in it! read more

Gumbo Bros was a great dining experience! Our waitress was really sweet and did an excellent job managing our large party. She also let us sample the gumbo, which was very helpful when deciding what to order. I ordered the catfish Pontchartrain with shrimp. The catfish was fried with a great crisp, though I wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce. I also ordered an espresso martini, and it was perfect with just the right amount of vodka and espresso. read more

A casual gumbo spot? That's not something one runs across every day outside of the Cajun country. What makes it more surprising is that Gumbo Bros was started in NYC by two college roommates, with initial success in 2016 followed by an expansion into this Nashville Flagship location in the Gulch. So, what can be noted about this one gumbo? It's a solid take on this classic dish. The entouffee has a decent amount of crawfish tails and is rather tasty. There is a casually decorated interior dining area and a nice patio covered with umbrellas. As a result, Gumbo Bros is an excellent spot for an easy meal, or a much needed hangover cure. read more

The Gumbo Bros - Crawfish Entouffe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A few Louisiana Natives told me about this spot! When it comes to Cajun/Creole food. Especially *Gumbo, Red Beans & Etoufee I'm a tough judge because I was raised on all of these and it's hard to beat momo's cooking lol. The best 2 things were the PoBoy and the Boudin Balls Great fry on the shrimp. Boudin was crunchy & Full of spice! I recently just had the crawfish boy, what a surprise. I just couldn't get a pic. We will be back to get more. read more

This was the perfect hearty homestyle cooked meal and really hit the spot. Very fun Cajun spot in the Gulch. If you're looking for bourbon street in Nashville, Gumbo Bros is your spot! I ordered a cup of the seafood gumbo and the catfish pontchartrain. Both were perfect. Gumbo had a decent amount of spice but wasn't spicy if that makes sense. More peppery. The catfish was fried and came with shrimp in cream sauce that pulled everything in the dish together. Very good. Drinks were great here as well and they featured some New Orleans staples. Service was very friendly and took great care of us. Thank you! read more

The decor was on point. The boudin balls were disappointing. As a native Louisianan they were spicy but bland. The seafood was decent and about average for Nashville. The drinks were the best thing. The hurricanes are deceptively good. Service was good also. All in all pretty good. Ill have to try the gumbo next time. read more

Nice location and atmosphere. Looks like this is a pretty popular place in the Gulch. Steady stream of folks at the bar and tables! Great service from the entrance, table service, and at the time we left. Everyone was nice. The food was good- this is the only Cajun place we saw and for the area it's very good. The po boys were on the right rolls. I will say the bread pudding was very light and fluffy. I like a more dense and bread-y one, but great glaze. The potato salad was good, but the fries were ok- a little too crispy. However the boudin and fried green tomatoes brought me up to a solid 4!! Worth the visit. Keep in mind you are NOT in NOLA, but they have done an excellent job getting close! read more

They have the lock on gumbo! Color, flavor, meat, no complaints! The boudin balls and the hot honey sauce were good. 4/$12 was a bit steep to me. The voodoo pasta and the catfish ponchartrain were good but too much butter! I want to shoutout Gabe for being an excellent waiter! High energy and great service. We were on the waitlist for 1.5 hours. I recommend investing in an electronic waitlist system to track the parties. We walked around for a while but had to keep coming back to check our spot in line. Lots of patrons were sticking around to watch the football game so it held up on seating. read more

Great location with welcoming curb appeal as it offers outdoor seating as well as indoor. Full bar with cute decor. We ordered the seafood gumbo with was my favorite of the 3 dishes. The Cobb salad was just ok and the pupu platter (pickle, okra and green tomato) was just mid for my liking but my gfs enjoyed them. Just ok spot for me. Nothing really stood out. read more

Shut my mouth those beignets are worth the visit. If I'd known they were that good, I may have started and ended the meal with that. I love crawfish and I love queso...combine them together and BAM. I was most impressed with how much crawfish was in the queso. It was not just on top but all throughout. The shrimp poboy was excellent. Shrimp was succulent and fried perfectly and the bread was exactly as it needs to be for a poboy...crispy on the outside, soft on the insides. My husband had crawfish étouffée. He said it was very good. Our server was terrific too. She was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Did I mention the beignets? read more

I've been to NOLA so I was skeptical about a NOLA inspired gumbo spot in Nashville but WOW. This service and food at this place was so good that we dined here twice during our visit. You can't go wrong with any of the food or drinks here. Not to mention, the ambiance really made me feel like I was back in the big easy. Pay a visit to The Gumbo Bros, you won't regret it. read more

My family came in town and wanted to try a new brunch spot, and I was excited they chose this place. I've been wanting to try for awhile, but I kept pushing it down my to-try list. We made a reservation, but when we arrived they didn't acknowledge it - something to keep in mind. The flavors weren't as Cajun as we expected. Please keep in mind I'm southern through and through, so my palate has experienced all regions of it. It could be that I need to try the main menu. I loved the Mardi Gras themed decorations. There's paid parking behind & catty-corner to the building. Like: alligator Benny (fried well, tasty hollandaise, egg cooked to order); hot honey chicken biscuit (sweet & spicy sauce); service (helpful & kind) read more

The Gumbo Bros. location in the Gulch absolutely blew me away, especially their étouffée. I stopped in solo before an appt. I had over here and sat at the bar, and the bartender was incredibly kind and generous, letting me sample the two dishes I was deciding between. I tried Nanny's Seafood Gumbo, which had a very bold, distinct seafood-forward flavor that might be perfect for some, but for me it was a bit overpowering. The étouffée, on the other hand, was more balanced and lighter, with flavors that just hit in the best way...so it really comes down to personal preference. It was a cold December day, and I was craving something warm and spicy, and this absolutely delivered. I ordered the étouffée with shrimp (though they weren't blackened as described), and it was still deeply comforting and delicious. I paired it with a Harding House Jimmy Red Lager, and loved the thoughtful touch of little baskets of popcorn at the bar. Parking can be tricky in the area, but I easily found off-street paid parking near Turnip Truck! read more

The Gumbo Bros is known for its authentic Cajun cuisine, with many ingredients sourced directly from Louisiana. The restaurant has a casual, hip, and cozy atmosphere, suitable for children and groups. They offer dine-in, takeout, and delivery options. I tried the Gumbo. It was pretty good, needed to add some hot suace but had plenty of flavor. The staff was very cool. Our waitress surprised us and said most people do not tip because of the laid back flow of the place. Come on people. Take care of your service people. Great little place to grab a light lunch. read more

After just moving to Nashville my husband (who is born and raised in Louisiana) and I came here for dinner tonight. We were so impressed! The gumbo is some of the best we've had outside of LA and the debris fries were the best thing we ordered. We also really enjoyed the red beans and rice. Great rice ratio on the trio! We would pass on the étouffée next time but overall we're excited to go back and thought everything was very yummy and authentic! read more

This is the best place to watch LSU dominate football!! The staff are amazing- shoutout to Brian and Momma T for being the most amazing ever! The food is so good too, I'm absolutely obsessed with the croissant beignets. My aunt comes here almost every day when she visits me because of the po boys. I was here once and sat at the bar with my friend, chatting with the bartender. We were making fun of women who really believe in horoscope and the bartender asked me "well what's your sign?". If you know me, you know I have 0 filter, and so I quipped "genocide". The bar went quiet for three seconds then erupted into hoots and hollers. Was it a dark, unnecessary joke absolutely. But that's my brand of humor and they tolerated it well. They now call me Jenna. I love it here. read more

My friends came out for CMA awards. All 15 of us visited Gumbo Bros today during my work event for our timeshare and travel program, and the experience was honestly fantastic. It's not easy to find a spot that can handle a crowd smoothly, but this place delivered. The food was excellent across the board the half-and-half special with the shrimp po'boy and the chicken & sausage gumbo was the clear favorite at our table. Great portions, great flavor, no misses. I also want to give special credit to our server, Angelina. Managing a big company group can be chaotic, but she handled everything with so much ease, warmth, and professionalism. Drinks, plates, requests she kept it all moving flawlessly. If you're looking for a place that combines great food, efficient service, and a surprisingly refined experience even with a big party, this is your spot! read more

Gumbo Bros is my new favorite takeout spot, and it should be yours too! Let this be your sign that if you've driven by this restaurant countless times and haven't tried it ... tonight is the night. After a long week, my husband and I didn't feel like cooking, and we decided to order a new spot for delivery. Not only was our food from Gumbo Bros delicious ... but we're already planning to visit in-person for the full experience soon! Their menu is full of tasty, Cajun-inspired dishes. We ordered some Boudin Balls to start, thinking those were the best choice from their appetizers that would travel the best for delivery. I ordered a bowl of their classic chicken and sausage gumbo with the rice on the side. My husband was craving red beans and rice, and was so excited to learn that he could order a quart of it for delivery. Our food (couriered by UberEats) arrived quickly and was still hot! Everything was well packaged for us to easily reheat if needed. The Boudin Balls were incredible - they're served with a sweet and spicy sauce that adds the perfect kiss of heat. My gumbo was full of flavor, and the red beans and rice were equally as tasty. This also made great leftovers for lunch the next day! read more

Authentic seafood gumbo with a roux that would make a Cajun mama proud. Plenty of large shrimp and veggies in the gumbo. They serve Leidenheimer bread! I definitely recommend the traditional NO cocktail- Pimms Cup. Catfish fried crispy - overall an excellent find in Nashville. You won't be disappointed. Waitstaff rocked. They know what they are doing there. read more

Stopped in to try the seafood gumbo, loved the Cajun pu pu platter sampler especially the fried green tomatoes. I've never had fried green tomatoes but it was really good. The tomatoes weren't soggy but just perfect. Also enjoyed the fried pickles & fried okra. The gumbo was different from what I'm use to but it was good. The Cobb salad was also good. Got the bacon bits on the side. They have happy hour 3p-6pm. Staff were friendly. There's outside seating. read more

We decided to try alligator bites, and the bite-sized pieces were absolutely delicious, with the southern flavor we were looking for. Their homemade lemonade was gone, but I managed to get one glass. We ate out on the patio because it was a beautiful evening. The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful. She did provide suggestions on what to try. The shrimp tacos were delicious, and the Gumbo Flight was the best. I didn't like the texture of the fried pickles, but the seasoning had a strong southern flavor. read more

Eh. Gumbo was ok. Maybe it was the fact that it was my first time having gumbo, but I felt that it was underseasoned and a lot soupier than expected. We also got jambalaya which was very dry. The rice was also slightly undercooked. We sat outside because the weather was nice, so that helped improve the ambiance a bit. The waiter was also very attentive. read more

The Gumbo Bros made me miss the food of New Orleans! My group ordered Gator Bites, Nanny's Seafood Gumbo, and Crawfish Etoufee to share. Although all the food was solid, I definitely liked the Seafood Gumbo the most! I thought the flavor of the roux tasted very similar to what I've had in New Orleans and there was a decent amount of seafood in it. The Gator Bites were fried very well and the remoulade sauce was a nice touch. The Crawfish Etoufee was creamy and I loved having it with the rice and crackers. Overall service was very quick, so no complaints there. I thought the prices were very fair as well for what you got. read more

One of my favorite parts of traveling is stumbling upon unexpected food gems, and Gumbo Bros in the Gulch was a pleasant surprise. Finding legit Cajun food outside of New Orleans isn't always easy, but this spot definitely held its own. We were especially excited to see their take on a Purple Drank on the menu--because if you know, you know. It was really tasty, though I'll admit it didn't quite hit the same flavor notes as Lafitte's back in New Orleans. Still, no regrets. We started with fried okra and the chicken and sausage gumbo from the happy hour menu, and both were solid choices. The gumbo had just the right level of heat and that slow-simmered flavor you want. We also ordered the chicken wings and shrimp and grits. Both are worth trying, but the wings stole the show. The tobacco honey and crystal buffalo sauces were next-level good. If you find yourself in the Gulch area of Nashville, add Gumbo Bros to your must-try list. Hidden gem status for sure. read more

This is a must try place if you are looking for real Louisiana food. They have Leidenheimer French Bread!! If you know, you know what that means! The red beans and rice was spot on!

Legit New Orleans style Cajun food. Best gumbo I've ever had!!! Service was great. This place is legit!

This definitely hit the spot for lunch especially with the happy hour food and drink deals! Would highly recommend the fried okra, I personally love okra but even my friends who don't like okra really enjoyed the appetizer! The gumbo and red beans and rice were good but I feel like the rice to soup ratio could have been more balanced. The taste was delicious though (keep in mind I haven't had Cajun food actually in NOLA) and comparative to what I have had before. I was excited about the fries but honestly they were not my favorite, the gravy tasted weird almost too sweet and made the fries saugy. The drinks were really good, we got the alcoholic purple drink and the peach cobbler freeze and honestly you can't even taste the alcohol. Hands down we had a fantastic server, he was funny and thoughtful and even split our check for our shared meals which made it super easy as a group. Overall great vibes would recommend, we sat on the patio cause it was nice day but the inside is decorated very Mardi Gras themed so I think that would have been a good experience too! read more
