Terrible! Wasted $40 on slop. I was excited to try this place and support a local business, but I was very disappointed in the quality of food I received. The fried shrimp tasted like cornmeal with no seasonings, the mac&cheese was bland, and I found a hair in it. The cornbread muffin was hard as a rock, and the rice that comes with the gumbo tasted like the cheap cafeteria rice they give you in public schools, and the greens were mushy and very sweet! The gumbo did have good flavor but everything else was not good

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.

First, let me say that I am I huge fan of gumbo. Second, although there may be some very good places to get them in SD, I had not really found one yet. Third, I got doordash delivery as my first experience with this restaurant. Ok, so I ordered Grandma's Gumbo, and paid the extra $5 for the crab. When it arrived, it was still pretty hot. It also came with a side of rice (a must-in my opinion, but some places omit it or charge extra). On sight, the roux was very dark. The quantity of the crab for $5 surprised me--it was basically a few legs and part of a body (they did not just toss in some canned crab meat and call it a day for an extra $5). Because I am OCD and I like to fully enjoy EACH AND EVERY BITE of my gumbo with all the good stuff in it, I first took the time to shell all of the crab and add it to the dish. In stirring it in, I also noticed not just the usual ingredients (chicken, sausage and fish) but, also, shrimp and scallops. The overall portion of gumbo was a bit smaller than I would have wanted for the price, but most things are these days. Now onto the taste--it was delicious! There was a lot of flavor but not too much spice, great seafood, plenty of okra, and a rich hearty stew. I can say that I will definitely order this dish again!

The food was authentic and delicious! It's definitely a take-out kind of place. There are a couple of tables inside and outside if you don't have a place to go and eat your meals.

It was in an industrial area. Hard to find no sign the say "Gumbo pot"So, When we arrived there it was a food pickup spot.. not a restaurant. They should be more specific in there description.

The Gumbot Pot NAILED a large catering order for us.The food was a hit with the guests, at least a dozen folks asked where the food was from. We had the Gumbo, Chicken Ettouffe, Blackeyed Peas, Red Beans, Mac and Cheese, and Corn Bread. The food had a spice to it, but subtle - even the kids were eating it.I can't recommend the Gumbo Pot enough. The order process was easy, they delivered to the venue on-time, food was delivered via insulated containers, piping hot, and professionally sealed in chaffing dish ready pans.AND they were able to accomodate vegeterian & peanut allergy restrictions!
Quick and delicious spot to stop by. Will be back for sure.

Delicious. I'm a harsh critic since my mom is from Louisiana. Loved the gumbo and jambalaya, highly recommend. Thank you so much for the friendly and fast service!

Food looks great in the pics but thats all I can tell you. We drive by and we couldn't really find the place. When we did, we pulled up and saw a building that was not labeled, except a sandwich board that said "food pickup." The only thing I saw was a man sitting at a table in an empty building. He looked like, he was waiting for a customer but no one. It didn't even look like a restaurant. Super sketch location so we left, never had the food.
