I generally trust Shannon's reviews, so I am a bit disappointed that their Gumbo is heated up from bags, if she is indeed correct.
But what the hay. I am sitting here in the office, it's 9:42am, and I absolutely CAN'T WAIT to go there for lunch today. I am so stoked about eating that gumbo in 3 hours.
Given that, I guess I should actually write a review.
It is true that there are better gumbos, but they are probably not priced at $8. They have a ton of other things there too, which they encourage you to try, but honestly I've never ordered anything else. One fun thing you can do with the gumbo is ask for them to put it over their jambalaya instead of the rice. They love doing that. I think it's a buck more that way.
They also have sweet tea on tap. And the staff is really nice, and the service is quick, even when the lines are out the door (which is often).
Easily my favorite place to go for lunch in the downtown area.
