J Gumbo's

The staff are really friendly and helpful, so if you aren't sure what to order, they can definitely lead you in the right direction of creole goodness. The price is a little more than I wanted to pay for lunch, but as with anything downtown, if you go out for lunch then be prepared to throw some cash down.  In any event the food was delicious although I felt you got much more rice than meat/veg in the portions.

This is a great place for a quick lunch downtown.  It is fast food, but it is good food.  I find many of their dishes to be too mild, but they have hotter selections that I usually stick with.  Only real downside is the limited seating inside, so get there early or get it to go.  If it's a really nice day, you can get your lunch and head over to Fountain Square and eat.

The food is ok.  It's like they tried to take some Cajun classics and make them fast food.  The result is that the food is indeed fast and tastes reasonable, but unfortunately, it is still fast food.  The red beans and rice is sort of tomato-y and the crawfish etouffee leaves you wondering where the crawfish was.  While the sausage used in most of the dishes has a little kick to it (a plus), it is more like a hot dog than true andouille.  However, the rice is cooked perfectly.  I would never recommend this place, but if I have a hankering for some RB&R, I might have to settle for J Gumbo's.

Bottom Line: I'll probably never be back - unless I just need my Monday RB&R.
