Try the jambalaya and the crayfish dip, but use your own tortilla chips! Each time I order these two items I never have problems, but I've always used my own chips. Plus they do delivery with these hard times!

The only item I felt safe ordering was the jambalaya. Mine had more chicken than sausage, my friends had more sausage than chicken. It was a bit drier than what I recall from my trip in New Orleans. It was tasty, but I won't be going out of my way to return.

There are several gluten free options. The food is very good! The owner waited on me and was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be eating at J. Gumbo's again.

Fantastic food and workers. I asked Qs about gluten and cross contamination, and they were knowledgeable. Lots of options— they ended up giving me free samples of everything GF as I sat waiting for my group. I don’t live nearby but may make the drive just for the gumbo!

I have been coming to this Jay Gumbo's for years. I can't say enough positive about this place. The employees are trained in allergies and cross contamination.

But the real reason to come here, is for the sense of community. It's surprising to see in a chain restaurant like this, but this one really does have its own personality. The owner is deeply involved in local events and host all kinds of neat things especially with a focus on children. I once attended a free rock painting class here.
