And let me tell you, folks, when those dishes arrived, it was like a Mardi Gras parade right on our plates!The gumbo and chicken and sausage jambalaya were like a culinary symphony of spices, textures, and sheer satisfaction. Our taste buds did the conga, the salsa, and even a bit of river dancing, all at the same time! The Jambalaya Shoppe transported a piece of Louisiana right into the heart of our meal. The friendly staff also made us feel like we were right at home, albeit a home where gumbo is the main currency.So, dear travelers, if you're journeying through the enchanting land of Louisiana, do yourself a favor and stop by The Jambalaya Shoppe. You'll leave with a belly full of happiness and a newfound appreciation for the culinary wonders of the bayou. Just remember, you might start craving gumbo at odd hours, and that's perfectly normal! !

This was my first time having gumbo and I will say that I was very disappointed. For this to be my first time, and the first place to try it, I will not be returning to this location. We traveled 8 hours from Texas to visit our family in town, and we have been having a taste for some seafood gumbo. My brother in law took us to The Jambalaya Shoppe and at first, we were ready for the experience. One thing we did wrong, was not check the food before we left the restaurant. When we got home, we opened up the bags not knowing what to expect but it was to a displease. I got the chicken and sausage gumbo, and my boyfriend got the seafood gumbo. We opened up his container, and it was just soup. We couldn't believe that we paid $11.99 for broth. We called The Jambalaya Shoppe and the cashier "Tiffany" laughed on the phone. She asked us to come back in. We drove back and NOT ONCE did she apologize. We walked into the restaurant, she took the food from me, went into the kitchen, came out and gave me the bag. I opened it up and it was much better the second time around. My brother in law asked what happened when they first fixed our order. She said I don't know what they do in the kitchen, I just work here while she laughed. Still no apology!!!! He then asked if we could get a upgrade for the inconvenience of having to come back to the restaurant, she said I can't do anything about that. We asked what about the guy in the kitchen that fixed the food, she said, no he can't do anything either because neither of them are Managers.Customer service 101 - I have been in customer service for over 30 years working in roles starting from a CSR1 up to a Asst Manager in Customer Service and one thing I will say "The Customer is ALWAYS right". Especially in our situation, my brother had mentioned to Tiffany that we were from out of town, and that he brought us in to try their gumbo. Why wouldn't you want to accommodate your customer especially first expressions mean a lot. Word of mouth goes a long way.

I love this place. It's always a peaceful lunch here. Food is always hot and usually always great. I have never had a bad experience here with food. The Jambalaya is the way I like it made. It's spiced right and full of chicken. Some people make jambalaya at home and I just cant eat it. I only like this place's the best kind. I wish more people would eat here and support this business. Its always so quiet when I come but I love it! Give it a try. Sometimes it hits the spot

First, this used to be a great place to get good jambalaya or Pastalaya, plates always filled with plenty of meat. Last time we order, 2 plates of Pastalaya had no sausage and maybe 2 barely there pieces of chicken. But what really got me was just now, I ordered from DoorDash, usually how I order, I spent $60 and received a Jambalaya Shoppe Combo; I didn't receive the Pastalaya Dinner or Jambalaya Dinner I ordered also. I tried to resolve this with DoorDash, and that didn't get me anywhere but we can resolve it within 24 hours. Now I figured the dasher left a bag so I call the dasher and he says no, so I call the restaurant and tell them I have proof I ordered 3 dinners. Whoever answered the phone said, yeah, we only received an order for the Shoppe Combo? I tell him I have a receipt and proof and he tells me, I'm sorry. Now the driver was more than willing to return to the restaurant and pick it up and deliver it to us.

This was my second time eating here and really enjoyed the buffet. The staff was friendly, one of them, maybe the manager or owner, checked on us twice, was quick to clean up messes, and told us to have a great day when we left. When you don't have a server because it's a buffet, these things mean a lot.

I don't mind paying $88 to go out to eat with my family if it's worth the $88. We got there @5 pm. There was no plates or bowls out. Hardly any food on the buffet. The rice for the gumbo was hard and the rice in the jambalaya was mushy. The pasta was over cooked and had hard dried up pieces in it. Everything was cold or luke warm. They had no desserts out. I did call in advance and asked if the food was spicy cause I had 3 people in my family that can't have spicy food and he told me the only thing that was a little spicy was the gumbo. My 3 kids didn't eat cause it was too spicy. So I paid for nothing. I will not go back. Waste my time and money. They don't even deserve 1 star.

Jambalaya is as good as it's always been! Hospitality is great and very consistent! Ordered Jambalaya and both white and red beans! Tasty and great for the last minute get together we had! Wish there wash a location in Florida!

Disappointed would be an understatement! Got there at 7 pm employee seemed to be cleaning up for the night and uninterested in providing any customer service or even interacting. We had never been there before so had a few questions about the menu. A few items were unavailable so he suggested we go elsewhere...should've taken his advice. The chicken and sausage gumbo was terribly greasy. Sausage was dry and I'm pretty sure the "chicken" was actually turkey. It was room temperature at best! The jambalaya was cold and sticky. Again sausage the sausage was very dry. None of the four of us were able to eat, let alone finish our meals. Not surprising there was not am employee in sight to even complain to.

The cashier was very friendly and helpful but The food was not what I was expecting,the gumbo was nothing but beef broth,a whole chicken thigh,an rice..the portions was big and cheap but the quality was poor...I wouldn't recommend this place if you want to TRY OR LIKE GUMBO AND JAMBALAYA..

This was hands down the worst Cajun food I've ever had the displeasure of running across. To say the food was absolutely hideous would be a huge understatement. If you're driving along and you happen upon this place, keep driving until you happen upon something else. Anything else.
