💛🔥 Happy 3rd Anniversary, Gumbo 2 Geaux! And Happy National Gumbo Day! 🥲❤️‍🔥 Funny story… I once unintentionally celebrated this momentous holiday by opening a restaurant. 🤣 The day we opened our doors, October 12, 2022, my mentor texted me and said, “Do you realize today is National Gumbo Day?” I definitely did not.

Reviews Summary

Gumbo to Geaux is celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Cajun-Creole dishes, with many praising the generous portions and the welcoming, friendly atmosphere. While the food is consistently described as delicious, with standout items like the seafood gumbo and Catfish Lafitte, some diners have experienced issues with to-go orders being incorrect, suggesting that dining in is the preferred experience.

"I found it!!!! I finally found the best Cajun food is this area!!! The fried catfish is so crispy and the batter is full of flavor…. We tasted many dishes and were impressed with them all!"

LB Texas

"Got the chicken and spaghetti special today as well as the catfish and freedom fries. I don't think they're called freedom fried here but they were crispy on the outside and nice and decently soft potato on the inside with tasty flavor and good amount of salt on them.

The chicken and spaghetti, along with 2 pieces of I think garlic butter toast, was tasty and filling. You get a good amount for 10 bucks and the chicken is shredded mixed into the pasta. The pasts being I believe a Cajun seasoned pasta (pic below). Along with the delicious coke I could not finish the whole plate. I mightve been able to but then I'd get the itis and I needed to go back to work.

The catfish was also yummy and crispy. I didn't like the tarter sauce the catfish came with as it had a horseradish taste to it and that's the one flavor I don't really like when it comes to sauces. Regardless, the catfish by itself was good. I can't say it's the best I've had around here but it's up there for sure.

Did I mention how good the fries were? I'm the type that can eat fries by itself but I also like them with ketchup; but no ketchup is needed with their fries.

I've ate here twice in the past and while I don't particularly remember what I got before, I also don't remember having any complaints so they deserve at least 4.5 stars but I'm definitely bumping it to a 5 because I've had no complaints and their coke is really good too.

(Not review related) Thanks to the kind Veteran that was in front of us in line for his invaluable service and for covering our meal."

"Pretty damn good place. Very good red beans and rice. I had the chicken spaghetti today and was shocked when it was seasoned correctly and I didn't even have to add any hot sauce. It was great. Nothing I have tried here was bad. Very happy customer"

This Bossier City restaurant serves up traditional Louisiana favorites like fried catfish, jambalaya and po’boys. But their gumbo - well the restaurant’s namesake has gumbo in it so that tells you just how serious they take it. Their seafood gumbo comes with shrimp, crab and crawfish so you get the holy trinity of Louisiana seafood.

You'll find Gumbo to Geaux tucked into the far corner of a shopping center. Although it was my first visit, I learned that it's been around for 17 years.
