Always pass this place on the way home, but I've never had time to stop and get something. Today I did, and wow! I just got a small thing of gumbo, and it was really tasty. Just the right amount of spice and piping hot! You can tell it made with passion! Definitely try some if you're in the area on the weekends and are feeling adventurous.
Amazing food served by amazing people makes a perfect recipe
I'll start with I travel to Columbus from the deep South regularly so I know what a good bowl of gumbo is. Perhaps I'm a little spoiled but I want to give an honest review however, this is just my humble opinion. The two orders of Gumbo I received were watered down to a soup consistency. Gumbo in the South is thick like chowder. With a little more roux or a little less liquid added it would have been really good. All the flavors of the South were in there and really tasty. Also the shrimp in the gumbo pictures on the website are nice and fat like gulf shrimp used down South. What I received in my 2 cups was closer to popcorn shrimp. But it was still shrimp so I was okay with it and since I was in Columbus the selection of shrimp may be limited so I suppose you have to settle somewhat for what is available in the local area. The workers were nice and told me the owner was from Bama so I knew he knows good gumbo.. The price was about the same as what I pay down South so no complaints there. I'll be passing through Columbus again in about a week or so and will stop in for a second round. Perhaps I got served from a fresh pot that didn't have time to cook down and thicken. All in all it was really tasty so give them some support by trying something of the menu and see what you think. After I try round 2 I'll upgrade my review if the gumbo is a little thicker and the shrimp is like the size pictured. If not I'll just try other things that are on the menu to see what I like best. Thanks guys and gals for offering tastes from the South way up there in Columbus.
