A large strip mall, counter service destination, Cajun restaurant that will let you sample anything before you order is worth your time to visit. We hit this place for our annual Lexington visit for at least 1 meal. The gumbo over Jambalaya is my go-to. The large is too much for me, but the garlic bread is needed to mop everything up. Order extra. They sell the hot sauce to go, and we always bring some home.

My friend took me and now I keep going back. The shrimp and lobster etouffee is delicious. A large is $12 and is enough for dinner and lunch the next day. Highly recommend.

We had Gumbo ya-ya cater our son’s graduation party and it was fabulous!! We had multiple cajun options from the restaurant for guests to choose from and at the end of the night people had gone back for 3rd and 4th servings!! We were so pleased, the owners were amazing and made sure our special event was enjoyed by all. No one walked away hungry and everyone complimented us on the food!! We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much!!

I had eaten at Gumbo in Lex several times over the years before it closed. The food there was fantastic. The food here did not taste the same. I am not sure what the difference was, but I will not be going back.

Parking: In a shopping center. Lots of parking.

Gumbo’s has consistently great food, and they’re always friendly and helpful. The portion sizes are always more than generous as well. On top of that, the pricing is very reasonable. It’s my favorite go-to restaurant in Lexington.

Gumbo Ya Ya has absolutely become my favorite spot to hit up for a meal. The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are great. Moreover, the price is also very comfortable, especially given the quality and quantity of the food.
