Gluten-Free at J. Gumbo's
Restaurant
Their jambalaya is gluten free and delicious. Not sure about other dishes as I love jambalaya and get it every time I am there.
I had to go GF two years ago and am very sensitive to cross-contamination, so I get nervous trying new places I haven’t eaten at since going GF. I used to love J. Gumbo’s and finally decided to try it again since they have GF marked on the menu and thankfully I’ve had absolutely no reaction! We ordered through a food delivery service, and even though it said we couldn’t ask for allergy adjustments, we put in the notes section to please leave out the bread and try to avoid cc and they obviously took the request seriously, which I appreciate so much! We love the food, so I’m so happy this is an option for me again!!
Numerous savory gf options.
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!
Menu is clearly marked for gluten free items! Delicious and safe!
Quick place. A lot of options
Permanently closed location
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.
Before finding out I had celiac disease, my family and I used to eat here monthly. The owners are some the friendliest/nicest people I have ever met. When we went there the other day and I told them I was celiac they made special precautions for my food and half way through eating they came to check on me and make sure I wasn’t having a reaction (I’m super sensitive to gluten). I had zero reaction and loved the extra care they took to make sure I did not have a reaction.
Food was super tasty and staff was knowledgeable
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!
Nov 19, 2019. Ate dinner here. Great GF experience. They have 12 menu items and 6 are clearly marked GF. Food was delicious and I did not have any stomach issues. I would eat at this place again if I was nearby.
Wow. Great flavorful food clearly marked. Our new fav in Cranberry!
Ate here every day on my business trip. Good food. Nice people. Never got sick. Great place.
Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. GF is celiac and had no issues. Plenty of save options.
Knowledgeable staff, great food. They really care! Never had a problem
Pleasantly surprised to find GF options on their menu labled as such. The food is excellent as well! Very nice people. Show the business some love!
First of all, their menu denotes what's GF and what can be made GF. I ordered the voodoo nachos, and the jambalaya/honey siracha chicken combo bowl. The rice from the jambalaya tames down the spice from the chicken if you're not a fan of lots of spice. Amazing flavors! The voodoo nachos were yummy, but I didn't eat their chips because they weren't guaranteed GF. I had some tortilla chips at home (did I mention I did delivery lol) and used them instead. Delicious! And the meals were enough for 2 people or 2 meals for most people! I didn't get sick and I call that a success in my book! I have added them to my list of places to order from! I can't guarantee the chips if you eat in house, but have some tortilla chips on hand if you do take out or delivery. You won't be disappointed!
This is definitely not celiac friendly the spice they used contains flour which is gluten
Menu clearly marked and knowledgeable staff. Great spice and flavor.
Helpful and friendly staff. Good food. I loved it.
Food was delicious, owner was friendly and helpful. Very glad I went.
The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is flavorful and delicious. I will definitely visit there again.
muy bien, la comida y el personal!!
loved this place before my celiac diagnosis, have eaten here twice since and had no problems. make sure you watch how the people are handling your food and the bread
Allergen menu with a wide variety of allergens indicated. Plenty options to choose from, even with my multitude of allergies. Very authentic Cajun. Whole family loved their food.
This place has several gf selections. I had red beans and rice and jambalaya. Very delicious. owner was so nice and let us sample! Definitely recommend.
Food tastes great and they have an allergens chart posted next to the register. Friendly proprietor and helpful staff.Great to have another cuisine option!
The food and service are both fantastic! Lots of gluten free choices. I loved the bumblebee stew! Definitely coming back.
Excellent food and free samples if you have a tough time choosing something
This was a very tasty lunch. The 3 of us ate for $23 with two having the jambalaya and one had the bumble bee stew (see picture). The entrees are rated by spiciness - the jambalaya level one and the bumble bee stew level three. Both were delicious. The bumble bee stew had a nice kick. We'd definitely eat here again when in the area. The parking nearby in the parking ramps are expensive- $12 for an hour, so if you can find on street or take public transit.
Yum! I've been here a few times this year and have not had a reaction. I am Celiac.
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.
Great food. Quick service. I found J. Gumbo's on the app. I'm glad I tried it. In addition to gluten allergies I also have egg and shellfish allergies. The manager Brandon made sure to listen to my needs. He assured me that they take care to keep the allergens seperated from the rest. They had numerous GF options too. Very impressed.
Super good food! Had no issues what so ever and the menu is very clearly labeled!
GF marked items. Individual serving spoons. Low possibility of cross contamination. Tortilla chips aren't marked GF but owner brought out box to allow me to check ingredients, and they are safe. Will return for sure.
Love this restaurant. Menu is clearly marked for GF items. The staff could not have been nicer and really made us feel like appreciated customers. I'd recommend the white bean chili if you can handle spicy. My husband and son enjoyed the red beans and rice and jambalaya.
their options are clearly labeled on the menu and their nutritional facts are clear online.
Very tasty fast food type of place!
great when you need a quick gf meal
My family of 4 stopped in and they had 6 gluten free options marked clearly on the menu. We chose three, plus some nachos. The food portions were huge, the flavor was delicious, and the price point was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, next time we are driving through the area, my sister and I agreed that we would go and get take out just to heat up later- it's that good. Gluten free Cajun is HARD to find! :-) it is an open kitchen, so I couldn't recommend for celiacs, but my concern would be minimal considering the nature of the food.
Very good and helpful for gluten free folks!!
Excellent choice of cajun meals, and their menu specifies what is gluten free!
Awesome! Many choices. It is like chipotle with your topping (stew, jambalaya, chicken...) on top of rice. Ask for samples! Staff was great.
