OK. Cornbread is moist. But, the crawfish po’ boy is advertised as fresh and it doesn’t taste it at all. The sandwich is dry and lifeless but easily touched up from tartar and hot sauce upon request. The red snapper salad would have tasted better if I made it. All in all, it was ok.

The food here is simply awesome. I've been here on two separate occasions and both times they have impressed me. Had the Shrimp and Chicken Sausage and vegetarian collard greens. For dessert I had the pumpkin bread pudding. Each item was full of flavor with ample portions! It is worth the trip!

You know it's so nice to be able to have a chance to eat food that is difficult to get out here in the other LA. The food was fun to eat and Luis provided great service for us. Having said that the iced tea was the best thing. It's not that the po' boy was bad per se, it was just sadly the worst po boy that I've ever had but that doesn't mean it was terrible in fact I enjoyed eating it but it was relatively unremarkable. Although I do appreciate the lemon slices. The fried okra sucked.

Eh. Seafood gumbo was nothing but rice, 3 shrimp and hella soupy. Not even close to Louisiana cuisine. Cornbread hard and potato salad wasn’t very good. My first & last time here smh

Took my granddaughter to lunch at the Gumbo Pot in the Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax in Los Angeles.
Service was friendly and efficient. The place was clean and well organized. Food prep was prompt.
I had a fried oyster po' boy, excellent, and a side of red beans and rice without the rice. I always order red beans and rice without the rice. It was delicious.
If you like New Orleans cuisine, I highly recommend the Gumbo Pot.

This food was so freaking gross. The potato’s were undercooked and the rest of the potato salad was soupy it literally drips the gumbo was a flavor less mess…I can’t believe they are calling this Cajun food it was very disappointing and disgusting.DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!

Soft shell crab Po'Boy was skimp, had flimsy lettuce, and a little costly ($13 plus $3tip in the jar)

This is my favorite place to get Red Beans & Rice and if has the perfect "kick" to it! I love every dish I've had so far and I'm from GA, so I am very picky when ppl label themselves as a "Cajun, "Creole" or "Soulfood" spot, but thus place is on point!

We'll be giving this place another shot another day since we didn't actually have gumbo or a po boy. We came to the Gumbo Pot not to long after they had opened their doors for the day and tried the crocodile tail (fried), cornbread, and greens.
Our experience wasn't great. The cashier had a bad attitude and was not friendly while we asked questions and was trying to rush us through (no one was in line). The cornbread was really difficult to eat and dry. The cornmeal breading was flavorless and so was the crocodile meat. The greens were decent, needed salt. The remoulade for the crocodile was fantastic though.

Food was amazing! When I'm in the area I'm going back. I had their catfish po'boy, one sandwich is plenty for 2 people but it was so good I ate the whole thing! Fried okra, delicious! Fresh oysters, so good! Price was good.
