Drove over to River Oaks to try a dining experience that has great reviews on Fort Worth Foodies. Today was their last day at the Chevron gas station. He will be relocating to Combine Kitchen off of Matlock south of I20 Arlington. We were presented with a tasty variation of common Cajun food dishes. The flavors were very good. We also enjoyed talking with the owners as they cooked our meals. We purchased our drinks separately in the gas station section. For payment they use cash or a couple of mobile apps. We would like to revisit when they open in Arlington.

The catfish was not catfish. The greens was glory greens. The green beans were sauteed from what seemed frozen. Not good soul food.

Was shocked at how much I loved this place. We've driven by here many times and just never stopped…read more We finally decided to try this to grab snacks for football and it did not let us down. We purchased a couple of items to see what hit. The service was quick. It took them 10-15 to make it fresh but they offered to bring our order out when it was ready, which was a great offer. There's no sitting, it's a quick pick up kinda spot. Now to the food! The chicken and sausage gumbo was amazing!!!! We inhaled it so fast, it's flavorful and well seasoned. Chicken seems to be shredded and fresh. Perfect as a comfort food. The egg rolls were delicious, I'm very anti sweet added to my food. But the sauce is sweet and spicy and goes well with the roll. We also tried the boudin plate that has a sausage, ball and fries. We ordered a spicy sausage which was great and well seasoned. The boudin pepper jack ball was delicious. Only complaint were the fries, that was our only letdown. They were soggy in oil. No crisp... maybe it was just a bad batch. But that can be overlooked compared to the quality of the food. The food is amazing and the quality is just what you expect at a 5 star restaurant. Will definitely return. Don't sleep on this spot

The texture was just right--crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The spice level had a nice kick without being overpowering. (We picked the pepper-jack cheese filling) They were fantastic and Paired with the right dipping sauce, I'd definitely order them again! Our Jambalaya was Packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice, this jambalaya was absolutely delicious! The rice was cooked just right--tender and infused with all the smoky, savory goodness of the sausage, chicken, and shrimp. Every bite had a rich depth of flavor, with just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting. The portion was generous, and the seasoning was spot on. If you're looking for an authentic, hearty, and satisfying dish, this jambalaya ROCKS my pallet! BOUDIN!!! BOUDIN!! BOUDIN!! THE NAMESAKE! Both the spicy and mild Boudin were absolutely delicious! The mild version had a rich, savory flavor with a perfect balance of seasoning, while the spicy one had just the right amount of heat to give it an extra kick without overpowering the taste. The texture was spot on--moist, flavorful, and packed with authentic Cajun goodness. Whether you like it mild or with a bit of spice, this Boudin is a must-try. Perfect on its own or with a little mustard and crackers. I am so HAPPY I grabbed some frozen links to-go for my freezer at home when I have that late night craving for Beaux Boudin! The owners treat you like family and most definitely make these wonderful dishes with LOVE you can taste in every bite!! Make sure to check the hours and plan your visit...you won't be disappointed!

It's been a while since I've written a restaurant review, but after my first visit to Gogo Gumbo, I…read morefelt this one was worth writing. I met up with a friend, and we decided to give Gogo Gumbo a try. Excellent choice! The first word that came to mind during the meal was memories. Good food, good conversation, and a comfortable atmosphere have a way of creating them. We started with two Seafood Gumbo Cups. The gumbo had shrimp and crawfish, and the seasoning was just right and full of flavor without being overpowering. A great way to start the meal. I had a small cup of steam rice to add to the gumbo too. The atmosphere was another pleasant surprise. The vibe was relaxed, the staff was attentive, and, most importantly, we could actually have a conversation without fighting through a wall of unnecessary background noise. For our entrées, my friend ordered the Chicken Schizzle with grits, while I ordered the Etouffee. Yes, Etouffee (I believe that's French, and no, I don't speak French) I asked what it was. What I do speak is good food, and this was delicious. The Etouffee was rich, flavorful, and satisfying. I enjoyed every bite and definitely found myself savoring it rather than rushing through the meal. We had iced sweet tea and regular tea, although I'm sure they have some excellent drinks as well. Overall, this was my first visit to Gogo Gumbo, and it definitely won't be my last. Great food, good service, a relaxed atmosphere, and a place where you can actually enjoy the company you came with. I'm a fan, and I highly recommend Gogo Gumbo. Sometimes a good restaurant gives you more than a good meal; it gives you a memory.

For our entrées, we ordered the Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Fettuccine Alfredo, Lobster Ravioli & Beef Tenderloin, and the kids' Chicken Tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were a little under-seasoned, but every other dish was phenomenal. The seafood was fresh, the flavors were rich, and everything was cooked beautifully. What truly set this restaurant apart was the service. It was some of the very best we've experienced at any restaurant. Our server was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made our entire meal even more enjoyable. We couldn't leave without dessert and are so glad we didn't! The strawberry cheesecake and the Jack Daniel's Chocolate Mousse were both delicious. The cheesecake crust, in particular, was absolutely incredible and one of the best we've ever had. If you're looking for exceptional food, outstanding service, and a memorable dining experience, GoGo Gumbo is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

What restaurants don't seem to understand is that if you are going to charge more then the bar has to be raised in every sense. Now the food I will say it was seasoned really well. The shrimp was not overcooked which is a plus and something that is a tell anywhere there is seafood. However, this place needs a major hosedown, its really dirty. I know sometimes tables are sticky- they were sticky, seats are sticky- they were menus on the table were greasy. That is the secont thing I noticed. The second thing I noticed is we were not greeted at the host counter for a while. No one was standing there or quickly came to us. I get it sometimes places are severely understaffed but a courteous apology or even a simple explanation would've been decent. Then we were seated behind a couple that were on a business call full blast even though there were many other empty booths and tables. Then our sever took forever to come take our drink orders and then forgot to bring out one of the drinks. Then the food comes out. It looks good. I got to grab my silverware and it was filthy. I didn't want to complain so my husband was about to hand me his when a bug may a "c" came out of his silverware and ran under the table. This really ruined how I felt about the place and it was unfortunate because the food tasted good. Unfortunately, three out of four us fell ill that night. Not great will not return.

It doesn't seem like much sitting in the strip center, but we walked inside. They've got two good size dining areas and plenty of room. Also we enjoyed that they had the football games on TVs in both rooms. The menu appears to be updated almost daily on a chalkboard. It took a minute to look over everything and make a choice. We opted for the fried oysters as an appetizer then I ordered the fish and shrimp plate and my wife ordered the # 7, which today was one cluster snow, crabs, and shrimp. They brought our food out in to go boxes, which is I guess what everybody eats out of. We were both blown away when we opened them up and saw how much food they give you. The portions are huge. My fish and fried shrimp was pretty good. The fish could use a little bit more seasoning, but it was cooked very well and tasted good. The shrimp was really good and once again I was surprised at how big they were. There was a ton of fries and only ate about half of them, but they were good as well. I was very impressed with the fried oysters. They were big oysters and tasted great. My wife loved her snow crab. It comes with tons of potatoes, corn on the cob and several shrimp and we were stuffed by the time we left. We will definitely come back and try something different on the menu next time

Love Bayou Jacks!…read more First of all they are located in Roanoke and easy to park and walk to the restaurant. They have a huge offering of seafood and sides. My favorite is their fried shrimp and okra. If you have been to Pappadeaux then you know the prices are pretty high for fried shrimp and know that Bayou Jacks tastes better, the batter and shrimp flavor are really good at a more reasonable price. The service is great and they offer a casual dining experience. Please give them a try and become a fan!

I am no expert at ordering, so when the time came for my seafood boil to arrive, it was not the wet version I prefer. The seasoning was great, but I just wish the marinade was poured over it. They did provide butter, so I was dipping when I wanted to, but for me, it is not the same. Another good note was how extensive their menu was beyond just a regular seafood boil. I aslo tried their gumbo and loved it. My partner had the Zydeco Catfish Spicy and it was just as flavorful. This is why I am excited to come back and give it another shot! The quality of their portions and seafood was great; I am sure there are other dishes I could select from to enjoy Cajun cuisine. Service was awesome, the turnaround was a typical wait, and the place was nicely decorated in theme and clean.
