I truly hate to leave a review as a chef and restaurant owner it saddens me to do so, however this…read morewas some of the worst displays of "soul food" ive ever experienced! I ordered the half slab dinner w/ mac, greens & yams. $40 down the drain The Ribs: One Word, WOULDN'T FEED THEM TO MY DOG!!!! These were over charred, tough & honestly inedible. Very upsetting considering I dont even eat pork but i had a lil craving so I decided to give them a shot! The mac: it was try and flavorless, the gritty, broken down texture of the cheese tastes as if it sat in a steam well all day then was reheated the next day. 1/10 The yams: Oily and clearly out of a can but overall not terrible. 6/10 The Greens: Over cooked & bland! Taste like they're from a can as well 2/10 The Cornbread: a huge solid dry brick of garbage! At this point swallow your pride And break out the jiffy! 0/10

Been awhile since I've eaten at Gumbo's. Gave it another try recently. The parking still sucks. The…read moreinterior has been remodeled and looks great, love the dark layout and the huge dining room, however the food remains touch and go. Certain dishes are great, others not. Got a huge bread basket that looked empty, when peering in, two small pieces of stale french bread smothered in Saran wrap were visible. Shame all that wasted space. C'mon Gumbo. Don't skimp on the bread. Serve it fresh too! During past dining experiences, the fried shrimp and hushpuppies were much larger. During this visit they were midget sized, like they were "cooking to a price point". That said, Gumbo's always excelled at frying and they tasted great. The fried catfish was dredged in cornmeal and flour. It tasted as good as catfish can taste, considering slimy-stank taste is natural to a bottom feeder and next to impossible to cook out. If you like catfish, gather up a chair, you're in the right place. The gumbo was watery with small dices of sausage and more midget shrimp. The broth had little taste. Mediocre gumbo is a misdemeanor violation. I wrote Gumbo's a ticket on that one. The cajun pasta was very good. In the old days they used bowtie pasta in a thick creamy sauce smacked with Cajun decadence and big ole' shrimps. Today they used penne (not a big deal, but it cheapens the dish) in a disappointly watery sauce with a few midget shrimp. It still tasted good but it quite clear at this point Gumbo's was cooking to a price point. The STAR OF THE SHOW was the shrimp crawfish etouffee. Wow! Thick, creamy, rich gravy with a heavenly base of toasted roux having notes of roasted peanut. They got that one right, midget shrimps and all. I want another bowl NOW! DIATRIBE ALERT: Service wasn't terrible but far from exceptional. The new generation of wait staff expects big tips for mediocre service, like we should should be honored by their presence. I always tip large despite my general grumpiness. Problem is, tipping culture has gotten out of hand. It's become a bottomless pit of greed. Front and back staff with their hands out perpetually. Cash registers programmed to induce tip guilt. Dirty looks for not tipping a carry-out order. CARRY-OUT RULES: If I don't sit down to eat, I ain't tipping your ass. Go back to Nursing School or something like that. Why should the customer pick up the slack for an industry refusing to pay employees a decent wage? SUMMARY: Love the vibe. Like the food. Gumbo's was clearly cooking to a price point. Midget shrimp? Sacriledge. New Orleans ain't like that.

What happened to the frying oil, and why is that employee at the driveup so surly? He said something we couldn't understand at the driveup microphone, then handed over the food without a single word, not even repeating the order or anything, scowling the whole time. Was he trying to wordlessly warn us not to eat what was in that bag? The hushpuppies were actually inedible: there had black and deep brown crumbs around the outside that were oil-leaking all over the plate, and were so hard they could break a tooth. I cut that stuff off to try the inside but that part was tastless and greasy too - except for one flavor that stood out: OLD OIL. The okra was ruined: soggy as if it had been boiled and then rolled in some sort of soggy batter that was oil-logged and smelly like...... Ollllllllld Oil. My husband got fries and didn't eat them after trying a couple. Soggy, pasty on the inside, no flavor, "not worth eating, yuck" was his comment as he tossed them in the trash with the "pasty tasteless mush" that was the mac and cheese. The fish wasn't "wow, I want that again" but it was edible. The outside batter had black and dark brown flecks from the old oil but the flavor wasn't horrible. It was VERY greasy - but I'd just returned from a long drive and we just wanted something quick. Sooooo, we got the oil off the rish in two different ways: I squeezed my fish in paper towel - had to repeat this just once - and my husband took the outside stuff entirely off of his fish, and we had the coleslaw with it. PS: The coleslaw was warm but pretty good.

The best part about Mission is Will and his staff without exception, everyone was pleasant and had something nice to say. Chris, a staff member, brought us a sample of their new sausage (not too spicy, just really good!) But as good as the food is, the best part is the staff and service. They are true patriots. Not celebrating one party or another, but our country and military. It was so uplifting to hear positive comments when talking politics! He doesn't listen and reply "Thanks for your service" Instead "We'll remember your ,(and your families!) Sacrifices and we're glad you're home" The photos on the walls reminded me of all of the soldiers who put everything on the line because they knew they KNEW fighting for us all; fighting for our freedoms and everything our country stands for for. We'll be back and back! Thank you!

Our server, Hayden, was especially attentive, making sure we were all enjoying our meals . I had the pulled chicken sandwich and fries and my husband had the brisket sandwich with greens. The portions were large, the meats were tender, moist and delicious, and everything was served hot. My husband said the greens were the best he's had in a restaurant. A few of our friends had the ribs, and raved about how good they were. We will be returning to try them. The entire staff on duty was involved in making this visit special for us. The employees who took our orders, cooked and served us, who normally go unrecognized. Therefore we would like to thank Hayden, Blake B, Chelsey, Maddie, Ayden, Sydney, Drew and Chris T. Great job!

The servers were beyond friendly, personal, and attentive. When you walk in, you'll order at the counter and then sit at any open seat. Then, the server brings your food. I ended up getting the Fried Southern Chicken sandwich with chips and a Diet Coke. The sandwich was not overbearing or too heavy. The sandwich was made with a coleslaw, pickles, and mayo, which brought a good pair and provided a good balance of taste. Once you're done, you leave your plate at the table and the server will collect it. Overall, I loved this place and would love to come back to try other items on the menu.
