We got here before the dinner rush, around 6pm on a Saturday night. The owner was patient, answering our questions and taking our order. The order was ready in less than 10 minutes. Everything tasted so so good! I will be back for more corn hoecake!

Oh boy, PoBoy did not skimp on the shrimp! Delicious, tasty, and very filling for the price point. I never thought Id find fries more satisfying than Mc Donalds but here they are! Fries were perfect and salted just the way I like them. ...

Delicious and soulful, packed with deep flavor, just the right spice, and you can taste the love. The owner, Mr. Gumbos vibe made me feel right at home. You can tell the gumbo is made with purpose and that slowcooked magic.
