You know it's so nice to be able to have a chance to eat food that is difficult to get out here in the other LA. The food was fun to eat and Luis provided great service for us. Having said that the iced tea was the best thing. It's not that the po' boy was bad per se, it was just sadly the worst po boy that I've ever had but that doesn't mean it was terrible in fact I enjoyed eating it but it was relatively unremarkable. Although I do appreciate the lemon slices. The fried okra sucked.
Eh. Seafood gumbo was nothing but rice, 3 shrimp and hella soupy. Not even close to Louisiana cuisine. Cornbread hard and potato salad wasn’t very good. My first & last time here smh
This food was so freaking gross. The potato’s were undercooked and the rest of the potato salad was soupy it literally drips the gumbo was a flavor less mess…I can’t believe they are calling this Cajun food it was very disappointing and disgusting.DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!
This is my favorite place to get Red Beans & Rice and if has the perfect "kick" to it! I love every dish I've had so far and I'm from GA, so I am very picky when ppl label themselves as a "Cajun, "Creole" or "Soulfood" spot, but thus place is on point!
Soft shell crab Po'Boy was skimp, had flimsy lettuce, and a little costly ($13 plus $3tip in the jar)
We'll be giving this place another shot another day since we didn't actually have gumbo or a po boy. We came to the Gumbo Pot not to long after they had opened their doors for the day and tried the crocodile tail (fried), cornbread, and greens.Our experience wasn't great. The cashier had a bad attitude and was not friendly while we asked questions and was trying to rush us through (no one was in line). The cornbread was really difficult to eat and dry. The cornmeal breading was flavorless and so was the crocodile meat. The greens were decent, needed salt. The remoulade for the crocodile was fantastic though.
I had the shrimp po'boy. I wish there was a little more shrimp but overall it was good. $16 dollars is pricey for a sandwich.
I love this place is close to as authentic as New Orleans can be. The community really knows how to focus on it. Prompt and efficient service. Red beans and rice and cornbread are delicious as well as the black and catfish Po boy. Try the jambalaya they know how to make a roux.
Friendly customer service. 1st time trying sweet potato salad.... Not bad!
Nope, nope, and no thank you. I really wanted to support this place but shied away for years given the not-so-great reviews. I finally tried it today - went for the shrimp po’ boy because even liquor stores in Louisiana get them right, so I figured, who can mess that up? And my goodness, the Gumbo Pot said “hold my beer.” The bread was dry (& possibly old?) and became soggy almost immediately after picking it up. There were full-on lemon slices in the sandwich(?!), it was doused in mayo over flimsy lettuce, and lacked on shrimp. I ate the sandwich because I was starving, but all I can say is that I got through it.Maybe you’ll find better luck with a different menu item. The shrimp itself was yummy, so stand-alone fried seafood dishes could be a good bet. Staff was pleasurable and I’m optimistic there’s hope for this place somewhere on the menu - but what I got was not it.
