This review is written for the true Cajun lover. All Pretenders or wannabe Cajun lovers need not apply. J Gumbo's location in Harrisburg has proven itself to be the truth in local Cajun cuisine.
I've stopped in here on three occasions and between the spicy jambalaya, The Red Hot Buffalo chicken and the honey Sriracha chicken bowl Big Bowl entrees on brown rice this place has quickly become a favorite of mine.
Today I'm broke from my big three regulars and tried the drunken chicken. The drunken chicken is described as a tender chicken slow cooked with garlic stewed tomatoes Cajun spices and beer and they call it this signature dish and in talking to the management that was there, they said it is truly a crowd favorite, probably due to being simmered in beer. After devouring the bowl that I got over brown rice I can understand why as its just that kind of spicy where it doesn't run you hollaring around the block, yet gets your attention and pleases your pallet.
J Gumbo's, you have a winner here and I'm glad that you're in my route of regular travel on Route 49 as I can stop in appease my Cajun flavor desires with greater regularity...
