Gumbo to Geaux — Restaurant in Birmingham

Forget a hidden gem, this is a local treasure in my book. Somehow the picture of my gumbo didn't take. Omg it was spectacular. But I did get one of my etouffee which was also spectacular. If you have a hankering for a sweet, at keast stop in and get one of her famous pecan cookies. Holy smokes that thing was delicious. Soft and yummy, pecan with a touch of vanilla. I'm not going to be able to describe things properly. The flavors of everything were straight out of cajun country Louisiana. Don't worry if you don't like spicy, it is tame. But not to the point of bland. It is anything but. I added more spice to mine. She also has a homemade hot sauce that I regrettably forgot on the counter. I was thinking it would be great on salmon. Sweet and tangy, not hot, but again like everything here, delicious and full flavored. I don't think people walking past understand what they are missing as they walk past. Give the cookie a try and then grab yourself something to eat. You...

First off I'm from Lafayette , LA and this is NOT no cajun food , the gumbo had tomatoes in it so that was an instant turn off and the flavor was still not good the "juice" had no flavor . I also got the Crawfish Quesadilla and they asked if I wanted it seasoned and I said yes and there is absolutely NO flavor or season on this Quesadilla.. The crawfish taste like dirty crawfish and a little fishy.. The Menu said 14$ for the Quesadilla and I was charged 16$ for a plain crawfish Quesadilla and then I didn't keep the peppers and everything else in and on it.. Wouldn't recommend to anyone who wants Gumbo or "Cajun Style" food this was NOT it.....

I stopped by Gumbo to Geaux after someone who worked there was handing out menus, and I’m so glad I did. The seafood gumbo was phenomenal, rich and full of flavor. Every bite had that homemade taste that really hits the spot.

I finished with the Berry Bread Pudding and it was amazing. Warm, sweet, and bursting with berry flavor, it was the perfect way to end the meal.

Great food, friendly staff, and a truly welcoming experience. I’ll...
