March 23, 1996: Gumbo’s.

14735 Bratton Lane
251-1606

Pepper grinder rating: 0.

Men’s room rating: 2. (Very nice, but loses a point for being undersized relative to the resteraunt’s seating capacity.)

Dwight’s comments:

If you look at my “Not a Top Ten List”, you’ll see I really like Gumbo’s. It’s the sort of place that does just about everything right: from service to food to the little things like change.

It’s also the sort of place you don’t want anyone else to know about: I’m afraid it’s already too late for that, though. They’ve expanded once since I’ve started going there, and the place is still just too small. If you go, especially on a Friday or Saturday night, be prepared for a 30 to 40 minute wait at least. (No reservations.)

I’m partial to the pasta dishes: I don’t care much for gumbo in general, but other people I’ve been with rave about that and the etoufee. (Gumbo’s don’t skimp on the portions, either.)

It’s nice to see this place making a go of it: now, if only they’d expand again…

Additional comments from Ann Anonymous Diner:

Both the crawfish and shrimp etoufees are great and very reasonably priced. (Go on a weekday night if you know what is good for you.)
