Absolutely delicious!I have never had this style of food in my life and it was absolutely wonderful. The place was great I didn’t think they expected us to dine in, but the staff was still welcoming. Most of the customers I noticed got to go plates. But this is a cute last min place to grab a hearty filling meal. A customer told me it is authentic as Louisiana cooking! I Ordered a small gumbo that was indeed filling on its own, fried pickles, okra, and was ready to get dessert if my pants didn’t constrict me! The portions were plenty and worth the price. I hope to return soon and order the biggest size of gumbo they have

This place is special. The food did NOT disappoint. I had the Rex poboy ( catfish and shrimp) greens and onion rings. While I was waiting for my order, I had a delightful conversation with 6 year old Bentlee and 8 year old Navee. They were very polite, respectful girls that served me water and said,’You’re going to enjoy your meal, Ma’am.’ And that I did! I will definitely be going back.

If you’re looking for some good soulfulness environment this is the place customer service is good. The food is delicious I had the Oax Tails which was tender and yummy they give small portion though. My plate was 30.00 kind of expensive and there was no gravy on my rice with the oxtails so it was a bit dry. I have tried the gumbo but wasn’t a big fan. I asked for a coke but was delivered a root beer.

LOUISIANA USA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) – With the recent opening of a second location in Bixby Knolls, it was time to revisit the original Long Beach Blvd. Sal’s Gumbo Shack, which is now 11 years old. The corner spot got an exterior facelift in 2017, but the delicious Louisiana cooking coming out of the kitchen has remained top notch. While prices have risen quite a bit like most of the industry, dishes from The Big Easy and its wider area are still worth coming here for, especially the namesake gumbo and jambalaya.

The food was by no means bad. I just prefer my gumbo to have more flavor/spiciness. The turkey wings were fine. We waited 30+ minutes for our order so, I definitely recommend calling ahead.

OMG WOW TO DANG DELICIOUS TO BE A HIDDEN GEM! The food was beyond soulful! The taste of the fried catfish, fried pickles, and fried turkey chops were seasoned and not salty. We can tell by how it taste it was fried with clean oil and we got there at 5:32pm. Cornbread was soft sweet and buttery and the mac & cheese was actually cheesy. The only basic thing was the banana pudding it was good just basic. This place is a must GO TO! Maria was sweet kind and helpful, excellent customer service!

I ordered their sandwich with fries. The fries were dry & stale. The sandwich was too moist. I recommend nobody comes here. My girlfriend order gumbo to-go, they didn’t close the lid when bagged. The gumbo partially spilled. Way too pricey for how subpar the food is.
