The service was awesome we got a description of almost everything and what would taste good for what we liked. The parking is weird because of the establishments that share lots. The food was continuous of people who are allergic to seafood. But you can add in shrimp and crawfish which is cool. They can make most of the menu into a nacho meal too. I’d tell you if you are in the mood for some Cajun food try this restaurant. It’s the best I’ve had on Louisville.

Typically J Gumbo’s is really delicious, today was apparently an off day. The drunken chicken was really watery and the rice was still pretty al dente. The Cajun corn chowder was really good though. They were out of multiple fountain drink selections as well. A little disappointed with our visit today. We’ll be back because this isn’t typical. I hope it isn’t indicative of a long running trend downwards though.

Delicious food and amazing service! I always have the best experience when I come here. Finding out they can turn any meal into nachos? A dream come true!

First time at J. Gumbo and would definitely go back! We were the first customers of the day arriving at 11am on a Sunday morning. The bowls are hearty, good sized portions and decent prices. The staff was friendly and allowed us to taste a couple of the dishes. The inside decor was super cool and good vibes.

I stopped here in 2013 on a visit from Canada and ordered the drunken chicken. It was one of the top 10 food experiences of my entire life. I know this was 10 years ago and maybe I was just hungry or something but I still think about that experience to this day.

The étouffée was borderline inedible- it tasted like tomato soup over rice with old shellfish mixed in. The macaroni came out cold. The bourbon chicken was extremely sweet. Our presence seemed to inconvenience the workers. The drunken chicken was alright, but in the context of everything else it was difficult to enjoy.

Husband loves this place and took me for first time today. Excellent staff! So friendly. Ask for a sample of items before you order. Husband had VooDoo chicken and loved it. The food was fresh, however not to my taste. I had the drunken chicken and it was too sweet for me taste, however several other people ordered after me and enjoyed it. Portions are hearty and filling. Husband added shrimp to his VooDoo chicken and our total including drinks was $24ish. I believe if I go again I will try the Bumblebee, its has more of a rich, savory vegetable flavor that is not too sweet.

Get the Jean Lafitte with drunken instead of voodoo, its so tasty and has a great blend of flavors (they give you jalepenos cheese and sour cream). Its also super filling.

Food is delicious! We are not from Louisville – But every time we get to town we make it a point to get JGumbos. We Dine in and then get some to go so we can enjoy it at home too.
