The waiters were nice though, but overall wasn't super impressed with the food. The seafood platter seemed to be the star of the show for my group!

Went to Food truck Friday to catch up with Mr.Lavender aka The Gumbo Man. This wasn't my first…read morevisit for sure but it is my first yelp review. The Gumbo man serves many classic NOLA staples from Gumbo, Po Boys, Boudin balls, and much more. The service is always friendly and with a smile or joke. The upside is that the food is absolutely amazing, the downside, because the food is so good, you may have a bit of a wait if the line is long. Best bet is to check his Facebook page for his location and try to make it before everyone else does. Today, I ordered my favorite, a shrimp po boy and also a large pepper jack boudin ball. The po boy is classic, French bread, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and overly loaded with very fresh shrimp. I always eat a bunch of shrimp off the sandwich before I take a bite because it's that loaded! The boudin ball was a first for me. It was a crunchy outside, and a hot smooth inside packed with flavor and goodness. I will definitely be getting this again. He never disappoints from food, drinks, to deserts The Gumbo Man has you covered. Make sure you go find him. The food is more than worth the wait, if you have to. For that real deal NOLA cuisine look no further. Enjoy! PSA-This not a restaurant, but a food truck to stop any confusion.

It was tasty, with minimal garlic (I love garlic so this isn't necessarily a great thing), and the spice level was accurate. Their shrimp are small in the multi-item boils. I'm usure if they have another size option if you do a shrimp-only boil. They were so small and steamed in a way that the shells were hard to remove. I'd try them again because the seasoning blend was decent, ambiance is open, clean, and chill, and the staff were friendly and responsive.

Every bite was finger licking good with that flavor. They will beat you by hostess quick as a seat is available. The service i got was above and beyond. My server checked on me every so often. Perfect timing in-between increments. The amount in the daily special is every but worth the cost. It took me over an hour to enjoy and work my way through my meal. Only flaw is no wifi. If a person will be somewhere that long to enjoy food. They may want yo watch videos on a tablet or laptop. Offering internet provides higher morale for customers. They do have a military discount.
