About Sal's Gumbo Shack

Sal's Gumbo Shack is a cozy and welcoming spot serving up delicious soul food. Their gumbo is flavorful, although some find it a bit watery. The Oxtail dinner and smothered turkey chops are standout dishes, with the latter being a customer favorite. The eatery offers an intimate atmosphere, with open seating available. Customers praise the food, especially the shrimp and grits, which are creamy, cheesy, and perfectly spiced, often leaving diners full for a long time. The jambalaya is flavorful with rice that isn’t mushy, and the lemonade is sweet and addictive. Many visitors mention the great taste of the cornbread, even those who usually don’t like it. The restaurant is busy with to-go orders, and the friendly staff makes guests feel at home. Although the inside dining area lacks air conditioning, the overall experience is highly rated, with some calling it the next best thing to home-cooked food from Nawlins. Kid-friendly options like chicken strips and fries are also a hit, and the restaurant’s personal touch keeps customers coming back for more.
