“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”

“I was so hopeful for File Gumbo Bar. I went three times. I liked several of their dishes. But every single time, the onions in the gumbo were crunchy, like they were almost raw.”

“the food was inedible. Shrimp and grits was way too salty.”

“no depth of flavor, watery gumbo, fairly unimpressive for the price point. A table of 4 of us all agreed it was not worth returning or recommending.”

“Filé Gumbo Bar is a really phenomenal Creole Southern restaurant. I go there at least once a month. They have a Cajun Crawfish bread that is to die for and their gumbo is rated some of the best in the city!”

“Few Creole inspired spots to check out: Filé Gumbo Bar, 1803, Alligator Pear + Claw Daddy's; KJUN is a cool Korean/creole type place that is interesting.”
