The food on the other hand is anything but ugly. I had the crawfish gumbo and it was delicious, I would have preferred a piece of French bread with it, but it was damn good gumbo. Here you can alter your gumbo by putting crawfish, shrimp, or oysters in it, which also sounds like a great alternative.

Yeah its about as divey as a diner can get, but this shack makes the best damn gumbo that has ever been on this girl's lips yet!

This place certainly meets the criteria for a dive but the gumbo is world class and worthy of the recognition from Triple D.


Lol, dude.

That episode nearly gave me a heart attack the time I saw it. He can make it and call it whatever he wants except gumbo because gumbo it is not.

Do those people you quoted live in Bama where gumbo is tomato based soup with no roux?

You forgot a few.

This is NOT creole gumbo. Let me explain first of all I am from south Louisiana and have had the opportunity to taste many award winning true gumbos. If you like tomato soup with okra and sausage then you might enjoy the gumbo shack. Their gumbo is made with a tomato base instead of the roux that in a creole or cajun gumbo. The gumbo shack does this for their red beans and rice also. This is the worst gumbo I have ever tasted. Will not be back.

Gumbo was not very good. We were really looking forward to it. Service was friendly but portions were small.



quote:

The Gumbo Shack was a big disappointment. The gumbo is not good and the service is very slow. Go somewhere else in Fairhope!
