| - I've had opportunity to try J Gumbo's a couple times recently while students have been on holiday break, and I'm really glad that I did. My favorite thing so far is the Voodoo Chicken w/ brown rice. Very tasty. They run a lot of specials on the Hooked app, which I rarely use, but it got me a free piece of cornbread the last time I was there. The guy behind the counter (presumably the manager) was very friendly, and they will offer you some samples if you are having trouble deciding.
My first visit I tried both the Chicken Red Hot and the Voodoo Chicken and I haven't strayed from Voodoo Chicken since. I have not tried the gumbo or jambalaya yet, but I intend to someday. Orders come with a piece of toasted garlic bread. You can basically get any of their entrees in a variety of mediums (po' boy sandwiches, nachos, bowls w/ rice). For an upcharge you can get two in the same bowl.
I always get mine as takeout, so the full bowl is a standard square styrofoam take-out container. Sometimes it's less full than others. It's not a massive amount, but I'm a pretty big guy and it's plenty for me, and I felt like it was priced appropriately.
It's in a pretty crowded location with other restaurants nearby, so parking can be sparse and it's metered, so don't forget a little change or your phone app.
