Love it! Been a regular of Gumbo Bros since their days at Urban Eats in Herald Square & Columbus Circle! The gumbos (seafood, chicken/sausage, And vegetarian) are ALL amazing! PO Boys = delicious too!
Rob FitzhenryJanuary 25, 2017Ordered the small chicken and sausage gumbo...took home and was delicious and still hot 20 minutes later! Highly recommend. Great service, too.- Greig RoselliFebruary 6, 2017A comparable place for po'boys and Zapp's potato chips is Cheeky's in the Lower East Side; however, Gumbo Bros has a taste monopoly on gumbo. Tip:Mix the potato salad with the chicken/andouille gumbo.
Dane BJuly 12, 2017Been a while since I've been to NOLA, so I can't make a direct po'boy comparison. But my roast beef sammy was pretty damn tasty. Will definitely be back to try the gumbo!
Percy HolmesOctober 14, 2018It doesn't matter what you get here. I'm a bit partial to everything seafood but it's all good. Do yourself a favor and get some banana pudding to go. Delish
Alison GreshamMay 23, 2019I’m from Nola (New Orleans) area so take it from me - this place is good. Try the roast beef poboy and chicken and sausage gumbo. Potato salad also fantastic.
Lisa RodriguezJune 23, 2019Delicious gumbo- I prefer the chicken and sausage gumbo to the seafood- it seemed to have more flavors layered in. The banana pudding was also delicious! Nice guys too!
Michael HaaralaMarch 26, 2017Far and away the BEST gumbo in the city -- and the po' boy bread is shipped fresh from NOLA! Go with a friend and try everything (don't forget some Zapps)!
José DucósMay 21, 2017The Chicken and Sausage gumbo is delicious enough to warrant a visit for us with shellfish allergies. Just the right amount of heat and packed with flavor.
Hailey CaldwellJune 1, 2017THE best gumbo and pivots in New York. Coming from a Louisianan, it doesn't get more authentic than this.
Christian LawsonMarch 6, 2017Fantastic Po' Boys! Add Fried Pickles, Braised Greens and Potato Salad on the side! Loved it.
Loving the roast beef po' boy - the rest of the menu is solid too!
Anything Abita is a must! This is the closest I've found to Nola's oyster po'boys. Kudos for the guys for flying in the proper bread. That's key! Seafood gumbo was also amazing.
Ahyana GuerraAugust 15, 2017Shrimp P'boy hits the spot and the rose champagne isn't too bad either!!
Mary LyonsMay 6, 2018Both seafood and chicken & sausage gumbo were very salty. Fried shrimp po’ boy was nothing special.
