I ordered the grandmas gumbo. Told them that I don’t want scallops. I paid 20 dollars for a bowl of ocra. When I called and spoke to the owner he said I put 3 shrimp, 3 sausages, and 3 pieces of chicken…. Like ok??? That’s it for 20 bucks?!? Taste was mid. And I will never get the gumbo here again.

I wasn't sure about ordering from a take out kitchen like this, but I'm glad I did. The food is fantastic.As a note: to order take out you need to go to the website to choose what you want and pay, then when you arrive at the place you call the number on the sign out front. They'll bring out your food.I had red beans and rice, a hot link, mac and cheese, and corn bread. All of it was full of flavor.I try to go to New Orleans about once a year. I've had mixed experiences with Creole food in San Diego. I'm not an expert of course, but this seemed legit. The mac and cheese was especially delicious.

So good!! That's it lol
The food here is DELICIOUS!!
Wasn't able to place an order, the location was at someone's house. I wish I would have known that beforehand.
We are new to the area and we were excited to find a Black owned restaurant. But it was extremely disappointing. My sister ordered some food for herself and my wife and I a few days ago on Doordash...the ladies ordered grandmas gumbo and I ordered jambalaya. The seasonings were extremely bland and didn't taste like authentic soul food whatsoever. My wife said the sausages and chicken in her gumbo were tough to chew (not to mention there were only two small pieces of sausage inside, smh). Plus, she added crab to her gumbo and was given scraps of crab with hardly any meat inside. Nothing like the photos you are shown here on Google. I know everyone has an off day but I don't think we'll be eating from here again. If this establishment is really Black owned, they've definitely tailored their seasonings and cooking styles to fit the demographic surrounding the area. I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here.
Absolutely amazing taste with huge portion size and decent price! Ordering website was easy to use and the communication was great. Will definitely come back for it!

I ordered the the gumbo today and the greens it was so amazing! My friend had the jambalaya and Mac and cheese she was really impressed by the flavors how bomb they were. The people were also very polite and friendly.I recommend this spot highly!
@thegumbopot unprofessional. Order placed before 8pm, there closing time. Order not filled. PLUS HELLO ITS RUN OUR OF THEIR HOUSE AND COOKED BY A LADY THAT OBVIOUSLY DOEST KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REAL GUMBO. HUSBAND WAS RUDE AND DISMISSIVE. WAY TO RUN A HOME BUSINESS. I WILL BE HAPPY TO FILE FRAUD CLAIM FOR NOT COMPLETING MY ORDER.
I have been cooking almost every day for 2 yrs. I wanted a break.I bought the Yaya gumbo, a shrimp Po boy, red beans and rice, and 2 peach cobbler/tarts.My son, who is an insanely slow eater, killed the sandwich before I could blink. It must be outstanding because it can take him an hour to eat a taco. My gumbo was wonderful, just the right amount of heat. I admit that I have only had gumbo a few times, but this was the best one. I loved the okra in this dish. I'm saving the beans and rice for breakfast, however I tried a spoonful and it was perfection. I had to wait an hour or so before I could have the peach tart. I heated it up 350 for 15 mins in the oven. The crust was flakey and the perfect ratio of crust to peach filling. It was exactly what I was looking for. My husband and son also loved, and I mean loved the peach tart.Very easy to find, and very professional. My order was ready for pickup in 20 mins. Touch less pickup offered. Individual food clearly labeled.
The directions took us to some random house. No Gumbo?
Delicious, large portions
