“Filé gumbo bar exists, and their gumbo is pretty good, though more Cajuns who border Texas than creole (obviously doesn’t compare to the real thing, but at least they use Gulf shrimp). Some of their other dishes are lacking.”

“gumbo was good, medium was NOT spicy so lots of Tabasco was added -they have a B grade, didn't love seeing that -the potato chips were waaaay overseasoned -the okra was waaaay overseasoned and not crispy like fried okra should be, it was pretty much inedible -hush puppies hit the spot”
