"I love this place — I live way in Rialto and every time I'm in LA I have to stop by Gumbo Boys. The egg rolls are fire, red beans and rice — omg it's the bomb. My sister orders delivery here too. We get something from here once a week! 🥰❤️"

"Excellent taste of Louisiana in DTLA. The gumbo is flavorful and feels like something hard to find in LA. The fried catfish and gator bites are also great. The location is humble but service is good and the food makes me want to come back."

"As a first time customer, I knew this spot was fire when many customers made line to order. Small spot in DTLA, but enough outdoor seating. The food was hot and great! Definitely a gem."
