Sal's Gumbo Shack

Lady that owns and cooks there makes some fire ass food I love it! I recommend it to anyone who wants that southern/ new Orleans style seafood cookin bomb!!

Can you believe they charged me 25 dollars for this ? I should have looked it over carefully before I left.. Sal’s Gumbo Shack!! You ever go somewhere and it’s so disappointing you almost can’t even talk about it? Ugh!! 25 dollars for two legs and 1/2 of what I think is a breast, but it’s really just a 1/2 breast with 2 pieces of skin layered one on top of the other.. That is an intentional rip off.. The greens were so bitter with vinegar they were inedible and the rice and beans were so dry I couldn’t get them off the spoon.. I’ve had some shitty meals before, but this one is now like top 5.. It’s so weird because a few weeks ago I had some decent wings.. but that’s all I had.. The wings were like 15 bucks for 3 wings so I thought the meal would be a better value.. WRONG! Well, lesson learned.. A few years back I had some of their Gumbo at a different location and I swore it off then, but I’m always down for second chances.. It’s sad to me because a legit soul food place is just the right thing for NLB .. DD

I went out of my way to support a Black-owned business after seeing them featured for Black Restaurant Week on KTLA. I drove from Culver City to Long Beach and paid nearly $40 for a large gumbo that was mostly rice, with a watery roux, very few shrimp, and about half a crab leg.

What was shown on TV is not what I received. I won’t be returning. Hopefully this was just an off day.

I've been here before many times. However this time I wanted to order something different. The salmon croquettes. The croquettes were not fresh very dry and had egg shells in them the worst I ever had. The cornbread was rough and old. The banana pudding i ordered was not fresh. Giving customers food that isn't fresh is a health hazard if you're unable to make certain items fresh everyday the simple solution would be to take said items off the menu. I am very disappointed at what I received. Lastly, why are the greens sweet? Have you guys ever traveled to Louisiana? Because being creole and not knowing how to cook is a disgrace and embarrassment. As someone who has been here before I am disappointed. If you want to keep your reputation good make the food fresh and don't give your customers old dry croquettes with eggs and corn meal coming out. Banana pudding isn't difficult to make and isn't time consuming all of these items should be prepared fresh. Most likely won't return.

Came in and sat down and was excited to try the food, made my order and 5 other people walked in and were served before me and my wife absolutely ridiculous. Never coming here again

Amazing!!! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. Everything was made fresh and hot! I asked her what was good and she said “EVERYTHING!” and she was right! We got the fried chicken plate! Will definitely be back. Thank you!!! 10/10

First it took a whole 45 minutes for the food to come out. Then the food turned out bad, the fries tasted and looked like they were cooked in very old oil, as well as the fish too, the only good things were the sauce, and drinks. Definitely don’t recommend this place. We will not be eating here again.
