    Overall, we were disappointed. First, the woman assisting us came across as rude, or at least as…read moreif she didn't care about the job, the food, the customer, etc. We ordered three rolls. The garlic butter roll tasted a bit fishy and seemed include lobster scraps/discards. The Connecticut rolls were better, the lobster was plentiful, but they still lacked flavor overall. I wanted to note we had Cousins many years ago and really enjoyed it, so it could have just been an off day,

    I liked the flavoring of the Lobster roll. I thought it was a fair portion size. And the Whoopie…read morepies-you can't tell from the pictures, but they are freaking JUMBO size However the prices changed from what's listed on here. I went to get a Lobster roll + whoopie pie (nothing else) and the total was $35! It IS delicious. Still thought it was worth it. It IS lobster, you can't expect it to be cheap like chicken or beef. Just be ware of that price hike. I know they have expenses to pay. I think this product is best in middle & upper class markets. Second thing is the worker wasn't proficient in English, so we went back and forth on Google Translate trying to understand each other for simple words like 'Cole slaw', 'on the side' & 'salad'. It was a frustrating experience plus a waste of company time! Time =$$! I would go back again when I am planning on spending that much. It IS the ONLY place I can find that sells Lobster rolls. Even Red Lobster only sells it during their Lobster fest. Just gotta have the Google Translate ready to go lol

    (Note to self: take reviews from locals with a giant grain of salt.)…read more Pro-Service was amazing & friendly ! Con- dirty hands and not a glove in sight. Pro- Seasoning heavy and on point Con- Because none of the seafood (gumbo or fish) was fresh. I hate doing these kinds of reviews when I get great service, but sadly I can't waste 60 bucks on food I won't be eating again. And kids, this is why mom does NOT buy any food that she can cook herself.

    2.5 STARS the first…read moretime i visited howard gumbo was for a yelp event, and i enjoyed it so much that i had to visit again. since then, i've visited a few times, and the food has been hit or miss. when it's good, it's really good; otherwise it's mediocre. it can be hard to find, especially in the dark, but there's a small flashing open sign on the tent. there's a small parking lot - maybe 3 parking spots. howard gumbo is mostly set up for takeout, but there are also a few tables inside the tent to stand and eat at. service is very friendly; i can tell that it's family-owned. usually the wait isn't long either, but it depends on how many other orders they're working on. - napoleons 2pc cat (3.5/5): i loved the catfish that i tried at the yelp event. the catfish was breaded with cornmeal, which made it less oily, and it stayed crispy longer. i thought the breading was the same as the first time i tried it, but it was a lot saltier. it also came with a packet of tartar sauce at the event, but i didn't receive any the subsequent times i visited. it was actually so salty that i didn't need it anyway - napoleons 2pc red snapper (1/5): this was so overcooked that it was rubbery, chewy, and dry, which made it hard to swallow. the pieces of red snapper were big, but because they were so dry, i had to dip them in gumbo to finish them. the cornmeal breading also started falling off of one piece, but what was left had good flavor. the other piece retained its breading, but it was so salty - 5$ holla seafood gumbo (3.5/5): when i tried this the first time, i thought it was one of the best gumbos i've ever had, even better than the gumbos i've tried in louisiana. the subsequent times i've been, i thought it was even more on the thinner side, so it was more like a really thin soup. i still really enjoyed the savory and smoky flavor, but it was more watered down. they were generous with the amount of sausage, and it came with two shrimp - milo's gumbo fries (2/5): they gave us all of the components separately (a separate container each of white rice, gumbo, and fries), so i felt like $25 was kinda expensive for what we got. it looked like i could've gotten the $5 gumbo and a side of fries and put it together myself, although it did come with a small piece of catfish on top. it was smaller than the catfish napoleons, but it was also less salty. the fries weren't seasoned, so they definitely needed the gumbo. i didn't think the portion was worth it - fries (1.5/5): i thought the fries i had at the yelp event were a bit overcooked, but they were crispy and salted well. the fries i've gotten afterward have been less fried but also really bland. they were still a bit crispy on the outside but got soggy fast. i guess they balanced out the salty fish well, but they weren't as good to eat on their own. they switched between regular fries and crinkle fries each time i went i was a bit disappointed in the food at howard gumbo after having such a great initial experience at the yelp event, but perhaps the quality issues could be attributed to growing pains. i still do think that the $5 gumbo is worth it, but i'm not sure about the rest of the menu. kathy's combo could be a good deal if you want to try a bit of everything, since it comes with the 5$ holla gumbo and catfish. i do hope they work the kinks out and wish them the best!
