With all the craziness from the recent weather, I didn’t realize I was completely out of my back stock of gumbo until Sunday. By the time I made it to one store—and then another, and another—I knew I was out of luck. No chicken, no sausage, no hope of making my own gumbo. But Monday evening, on my way home from work, I decided to stop by The Jambalaya Shoppe in Brusly, and let me tell you, it was the best decision I’ve made in a while!
The gumbo was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. It was exactly what I needed to save the day (and my week!). The convenience of grabbing a bucket without compromising on that homemade quality was a lifesaver. I’ll definitely be back, and next time, I’ll know where to go first when I’m in a gumbo pinch!

I’m from Texas and I was looking for some good soul food. I found great tasting food and amazing service! I told the gentleman at the front counter that I’m from Texas and never been there. He brought me some delicious food to sample. Originally I was just going to buy just a sausage link but I ended up getting the pork jambalaya bowl. So good!!! 😊

Ordered food on Oct 14. 2024. Jambalaya, gumbo. Crayfish pie and sides. Every item on the menu was horrible. I can't believe that a business sells awful food like that I could not eat any of it. It was full of salt and the only meat in the jambalaya and gumbo was the thigh of the chicken. No seasonings in it except salt. No green onions. Etc. Waitress were polite. I spent 82.00 on that food. I will tell my credit card company. It was so bad we threw the good away. Jambalaya was goey and sticky and did not seem fresh at all

I like Jambalaya and I had been meaning to try the Jambalaya Shoppe to see if it was good. I got the jambalaya (chicken and sausage) for two and a link of Boudin. I gotta tell you, none of it was very good. The jambalaya had hardly any seasoning and hardly any sausage. The Boudin tasted like it had been boiled. It had no flavor and no seasoning. I only could eat one bite. With a diet Coke, my total was $24.52. So.... Closing remarks... Jambalaya. That's mostly rice. With barely any sausage in it. Which is super cheap. And a link of Boudin that was not really edible. That's WAAAAAAAAAY overpriced. Don't waste your money there. Sorry.
The team member at the register was friendly and professional.

Good food, iced tea is behind the counter for some reason I guess they’re a little stingy with tea lovers like myself that inhale the stuff.

Amazing gumbo and jambalaya. The rolls were to die for, my only regret is I only ordered 2. Really good food and at reasonable prices - huge portions too.
They need to change some of their workers they have one boy is not nice to the public he needs to go somewhere else to work because if he stays they will lose some business

It was definitely lots of food on the plate but the pastalaya was horrible and the jambalaya was packed with mainly chicken and just wasn’t good. No, I will not return to this location.

It was my first time ever in the State of Louisiana. The store was clean and the employees were friendly and very attentive. They gave us some samples before we place an order. It was my first time trying Jambalaya and it was Delicious!!!!!

I got 2 of the shoppe combos the number 1(?) It's a small salad, crawfish pie, and your choice of pastalaya or jambalaya, a roll, and gumbo. My first time there, so I had some questions for the guy that took my order. He was great, customer service is a non issue. He answered the questions I had fairly well. The place is clean, it is like a fast casual spot so not very big but it is decent.The salad, should be kept separated from the hot food. It would have stayed crisp, portion could be a bit bigger but it was okay.The crawfish pie/pies, are small. Think dumpling sized. It came with 2 so I guess it averages out to 1. They seemed premade, like they were bought frozen from Walmart or something. Not bad tasing but not really good either.The roll is a roll. Like a grocery store roll you get assigned to bring to Thanksgiving when you can't cook.The jambalaya/pastalaya, I got one of each, honestly I should have asked if it was red or brown but i didn't, it is supposed to be brown i guess. Mine is gray. The rice, the meat, the pasta, all gray. My husband and I ended up picking the meat out of it. Idk what the base is but it is not good. The chicken and sausage was good but whatever the base is is not. I usually don't like brown jambalaya because it ends up tasting burnt, but this isn't that. I thought it was just me being partial to red, but hubby likes brown and he didn't even eat it.The gumbo is not gumbo. It seems they use the same base for the jambalaya and gumbo. It is loose like water and only had 3 cubes of chicken and 4 pieces of sausage.I got the 2 pudding desserts, they are just instant pudding with cookies on top. Nothing fancy.If they get their food to be as good as their service I could see this place being great, but I wouldn't go back until I knew the food had gotten better.
