I stopped counting after 100. The sauce was good, I could really get the tang of the tomato base. The shrimp were juicy as well My mom and sister got the steak cooked well. They said it was cooked perfect and the okra were crispy. The sweet tea was definitely sweet and tea might have needed to boil for a bit longer. We ended up having to wait for the ice to melt down to be able to drink it with all the sugar. I'd like to go back to check out more menu options. Also, the service was great. Probably some of the best service I've experienced in a restaurant

We were seated within 10 minutes. The trouble started from there. We waited for 10 minutes to order our drinks, then waited for 15 minutes to receive our water. Knowing beforehand that this place takes a little longer, we went ahead and put our food order in. We then waited for 1 1/2 hours with no food. Not only that, we were checked on *once* in that time period. We finally left, after no word on our food. I understand it's all part of the experience and that there is usually a wait, but the lack of communication and the service level were horrible. 4 hours after we left our house, we ate fast food burgers on our way home.

He ordered a ribeye and said it was great. I was looking forward to the sides and ordered a small filet mingon. It was delicious! I don't think I have ever finished a serving of steak before this one. It was cooked to perfection, which is rare since I don't like the texture of the meat when it's still pink. The flavor was amazing and I really wished I had ordered the largest one they had. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Bowling Green.

I know it's Tuesday and I know better than to order the fish special... it was terrible. But the disappointment was the service. The girl brought out our app then our entrees then dropped the cheesecake with never clearing off our table. That was the disappointment. The redfish and grits were horrible but my bad for ordering the fish special on a Tuesday. But she wanted us out 57 minutes from the time we came in and got into our car.

I found this place online while in Hendersonville, so I decided to give them a try…read more They sat us (table of 8) really quickly. Our server was super kind, he had just moved from Florida so it was nice to know we are from the same place! For appetizers, I tried the fried pickles (not pictured) they were way too salty. We also had the creole seafood dip which was amazing! I went with the steamed shrimp,with Cajun sauce. It also came with potatoes, corn, and I added sausage for $4. The way it came out was different than other seafood boils I've had. The boil came out plain with the sauce on the side. I thought this was going to affect the flavor but it did not and it was so good! Overall we had a great time, they were very accommodating. I would return.

The waitress were super nice, I thought the drinks took a bit but nothing outrageous and they were good. Thats the extent of the two stars. The menu looked great but was very disappointing. I was craving a boil so I got the shrimp boil. I got shrimp the were not cleaned and butter on the side. I asked if they normally don't clean the shrimp and they let me know that was normal practice, well not for me. The didn't charge us so that helped with their two stars. My husband had some chicken dish (voodoo chicken) with balsamic drizzle that tasted like water, not sure how but it did. I dont know how anyone gave this place more than 3 stars at most.

When friends become family!…read more The dictionary defines family as people connected by blood, legal ties like marriage or adoption, or strong emotional bonds. Herb and the entire staff at Voodoo Gumbo established a strong emotional bond with my family and me over four years ago, and EVERY TIME I come to Nashville, this is my go-to place to enjoy great food and even better company. I came back to celebrate my recent retirement following 25 years of service in the Air Force. Not only did Herb remember me, but he thought it no robbery to celebrate me with a very special dessert--I've totally been sleeping on the bread pudding and beignet on Sunday--IYKYK! The food here is always top tier--no wonder they have such a high rating with over 500 reviews-- but the personal touches are next level. Thanks always.

There is cross-contamination -- but I am able to have it. It's so rare to find gluten free fried foods, especially seafood!! The food was not only good, it was GREAT!! Everything was delicious! Shrimp was crispy and slightly sweet, some of the best I've had inland! Red beans and rice was so smokey and had a bit of sweetness to it, oh buddy it was great! On top of that, everyone was super nice. Guy who seated us was rlly friendly, girl who waited on us was SO helpful with answering my questions! We ended up with beignets that my husband said were the best he's had outside of NOLA. We got to meet the owner on our way out and he seems like someone who has a real passion for what he does. The decor was nice too - very on brand! It feels cozy in there, and everyone seemed to know each other - felt like a sweet little community spot. Currently trying to think of reasons to come back to Nashville so we can eat here again ! Only place we ate twice on our trip
