    I had been meaning to go here for what seems like forever and we had such a nice time. The service was excellent. I felt like the roux could've been better on the gumbo or needed more file powder for my liking. We really liked the Cuban sandwich, Mac n cheese and hush puppies. I loved the bananas foster, simple but delicious. I liked they had the bar area or dining room to eat in. There were a couple other things I wanted to try so we'll definitely be back.

    Shrimp and grits on the brunch menu is amazing!

    As a Louisiana native, I can say this place is the real deal. The Sunday brunch is fantastic with plenty of options. The stuffed French toast is served with a homemade strawberry sauce that pleases the pickiest tastebuds. The catfish is perfectly fried and served with tasty hush puppies. The shrimp and grits were a favorite and left me wanting to lick the plate. The sweet tea brought me back home to my granny's dining table and childhood memories. All of this with the ambiance and hospitality of New Orleans makes it one of the best places Macomb County has to offer.

    I love this place! Even more now that we live so close by. My favorite is the hush puppies and fried okra. I could eat that all day. Got a bite of the catfish and it was perfect! Will be back again.

    The trio with red beans, gumbo, and creole.

    I'm a cajun food enthusiast. I had the trio with red beans and rice, gumbo and shrimp creole. I thought they were all right on target. The flavors were great and the spice was perfect. A very nice setting with great service.

    The fried okra is good. The dipping sauce good. Doesn't reheat great so eat it while it's hot.

    There isn't a very exciting food scene in Mt Clemens I'm sorry to say. It's a great little town but the dining options can be mweh! Gumbo's is good not mweh. On Friday I dined at Gumbo's for my second time. I was not disappointed. The service was great, the food was great and I was happy. If you like creole like food you'll like Gumbo's.

    This place will be added to my list of places to go back to. The staff were very friendly, nice and accommodating. We had a group of 6 and they were very attentive and helpful. It is a family friendly restaurant with a nice fully loaded bar. Jenn the bartender was so nice & whipped us anything we asked for. The food was just as I expected...DELICIOUS! Some of our favorites were the Mac and cheese, crawfish & shrimp Étouffée, Cajun pasta and the drinks! S/n: Don't order the candied yams if you like sweet yams, it wasn't as good as expected. But everything else was 10/10. I'll recommend this place to everyone. I'll be back to try more from the menu! Thank you for making our first time there such a great experience. Good food, good drinks & good company!

    1/2 sandwich and red beans and rice

    Downtown Mt Clemens within walking distance of Macomb county offices. Open at 11 most days but closed Sunday. Metered parking in front. Food is great. I had the N.O. Medley ... cup of each jambalaya, gumbo and etouffee. All were distinct flavors with plenty of meats, shrimp and rice. Added the good cornbread. Partner had the daily special 1/2 sandwich and cup of red beans and rice. They offer soda, tea and lemonade. Service was good. Only negative was a 4% upcharge added for using a credit card. I wouldnt have known it if i didn't ask after they ran my card.

    This is not the same restaurant, and has to be under new management. The gumbo was watered down, and did not have the consistency of a rue, but more like a broth. Total waste of money. Jambalaya was not good either. The rice was gummy like it was not rinsed off. Not a lot tomato or flavor. One piece of bread for large portions of gumbo and jambalaya. Don't waste your money. Not the same Gumbo's.

    Ask the Community - Gumbo's

    Do they serve beer/liquor/wine?

    They have expanded over the years to include a full bar. Beer, wine and liquor, including signature cocktails and draught beer.

    How is the parking there? Do we have to park on the street or is there a parking lot on the side or back of the building. If only on the street, is it parallel parking or angular?

    It's downtown Mt Clemens so parking is what is. There is parallel street parking in front and a parking lot in back.

    Fantastic local craft kitchen! Reservations strongly recommended and completely worth the effort…read more Met some friends for a late Saturday afternoon lunch and we snacked on multiple options. Cocktails were lovely and unique. Seating was comfortable and the atmosphere was both quaint and open as the room was filled with sunlight but we felt like we had our own corner to enjoy. Staff was friendly and Chef stopped by to make sure we loved our Buttertarts and bubbles! These were great Buttertarts made my a Canadian

    We stopped in last Friday (01/09/26) after having a mediocre experience on our last visit, which…read morewas approximately a year ago. I still feel the same way about the place. This is one of those unfortunate instances where I wish I could give a 3.5* rating. Everything was ok, but definitely not great. The place is loud, and way too bright, especially for an intimate experience after 8:30pm or so. We would have loved to stick around for another couple cocktails, if the cocktails and ambience were good, they weren't. The "craft cocktail" ol' fashioned was improperly garnished w/ a whole 1/4 of an orange slice, instead of the peel, it was improperly essenced, and had an improper amount of simple syrup. It was essentially a shot of bourbon with a cherry and an orange peel. Tasted terrible. The drink lacked all of the taste and trappings of the advertised craft "burnt sugar" old fashioned. Additionally, they use a 1/2 of an ice ball, which would not have been offensive, if the rest of the drink was up to par, but as it was, the cocktail seemed cheap and off-putting. 2.0/10 My date ordered a "figgy sweater," a citrusy cocktail with vodka, also off of the "craft cocktails" menu. Her drink had the opposite problem. It tasted like a lemonade with no alcohol at all, or watered down alcohol. She's a fairly lightweight that does not like strong drinks, gets tipsy off of two, and she complained throughout its consumption that the drink seemed weak and not worth ordering another. 2.0/10 We were both interested in another cocktail, but due to the loud nature of the place, the over abundance of light, and the poorly crafted cocktails, we drove to another establishment for our second round. Food ordered: Seafood Chowder - Great job, delicious, ample seafood throughout 9.5/10 Brisket Poutine - Good but it lacked cheese curds and gravy. 7.0/10 Beef tenderloin tips - terrible... the dish came out cold, we ordered the GF option, and the bread substitute was gross. The dish was overly salty, and the beef was way, way over cooked; not even medium well, most of it was well done, and tough; this was $30 wasted, we barely touched it and it's still in the fridge two days later. I'll likely throw it out. 2.0/10 Chicken Fried Lobster - nice dish, I hated the dill, but my date licked it. The dill aside, it was delicious; nice presentation, great tasting waffle, w/ well favored garnishes. However, the dish was barely warm when it came out, the ricotta/cream soaked into the waffle, and it was soggy. If it came out of the kitchen promptly it would have likely been better. 7.0/10 I'd consider ordering the chicken fried waffle again, but bad cocktails will likely keep me away. It's tough to pay $30+ in bad cocktails to accompany a $100+ meal. I'd strongly suggest turning down the lights after 8:30pm or so, and installing some noise canceling/light panels to bring the ceiling height down, quiet the place down some, and make it seem more intimate. The two tables opposite the the kitchen, in the damn hallway to the bathroom, should either be gotten rid of, made into high-tops, or install a lower counter-service along that wall for a "chef's experience." Those tables absolutely suck. We sat at them at our first visit, they tried to sit us there for our 2nd visit, but moved us after our objection. I laughed a bit throughout our meal as the people that were subsequently seated at those tables complained during their meal of the constant bumps, and interruptions that come with the territory. Finally, our waitress did a great job. The food runner was late on a couple of our dishes, resulting in cold food, but the waitress' service seemed great.
