Gumbo Shop

Restaurant Overview

This New Orleans favorite has taken the Best Gumbo title in the Best of New Orleans poll every year since 1999. Gumbo Shop offers seafood, okra and chicken-andouille gumbo, made with a roux that is always just right.

They also offer full menu of Creole cuisine, including po-boys. The shrimp creole po-boy is one of our favorites. It’s basically a large, soft hallowed-out piece of French bread with the restaurant’s famous shrimp creole poured inside. The bread pudding is also a must-order.

From the moment you walk through the long, narrow courtyard to reach the front door, you know you’re in New Orleans. Customers can sit indoors in a large room with tall ceilings and beautifully painted walls, or on a nice day, outdoors in a courtyard full of greenery.

Those who would like to enjoy the Gumbo Shop’s cooking at home can order their favorite dishes, entrees and sides, from their website. They’ll deliver a full meal directly to your door.
