Gumbo Social — Restaurant in San Francisco

Our community center was hosting a 40-person sit-down event with community stakeholders and city officials alike, and Gumbo Social helped us make it an incredibly special event with utmost deliciousness and style. They provided seamless catering, bringing a whole buffet set-up with beautiful presentation (edible flowers and all!) and farm-to-table delicacies. They shared their infamous gumbo, sweet potato puree, green goddess salad with seasonal farmer's market veggies, hearty rice and beans, a refreshing watermelon salad, and their mesquite chicken. So many people don't realize that they do so much more than their namesake (although their gumbo is my favorite)!

Chef Dontaye and Chef Quanisha took great care of our us and our clients, providing not only incredible and nourishing food, but all the details of a catering event.

It's an honor to support this small business that is owned and operated by a born-and-raised San Franciscan and steward of good food and community,...

Second time at the actual Gumbo Social restaurant and the gumbo was fantastic again! It’s consistently amazing, whether you have it at the restaurant or a street fair! Best gumbo for certain. My party of four came at 6pm on a Thursday, found parking right in the front, and had a great dinner. Besides the chicken and sausage gumbo, I also had a shrimp po’boy (love the secret sauce and how generous they are with the grilled shrimp) and hoecakes (which have crispy edges!)!

I like that Mr. Gumbo chats with his customers, and that eco-friendly measures are in place! It’s a nice place to relax and enjoy some great food and company! They also have an extensive variety of hot sauces for you to use! This is a small business that I’m happy to support with my appetite and review. Thanks, Gumbo...

I’ve been a fan of Gumbo Social for years, and I couldn’t be more proud of their new shop. I brought a group of 4 for a late lunch, and we got street parking right in front of the restaurant. Warmly greeted by the host, the owner walked us through the menu and made excellent recommendations. Half my party had never tasted Gumbo Social before, and I was so pleased to share such goodness with them. Two types of salad, gumbo, and po boy sandwiches. Plus red beans and rice with duck!😍 I love the complex flavors of Dontaye’s gumbo, and he brings that approach to every dish! Top it all off with fresh watermelon lemonade and banana pudding, and my mouth is watering just thinking of it. It’s right off the T muni line so discover this place for yourself (and brag to your friends...
