Absolutely delicious!I have never had this style of food in my life and it was absolutely wonderful. The place was great I didn't think they expected us to dine in, but the staff was still welcoming. Most of the customers I noticed got to go plates. But this is a cute last min place to grab a hearty filling meal. A customer told me it is authentic as Louisiana cooking! I Ordered a small gumbo that was indeed filling on its own, fried pickles, okra, and was ready to get dessert if my pants didn't constrict me! The portions were plenty and worth the price. I hope to return soon and order the biggest size of gumbo they have

This place is special. The food did NOT disappoint. I had the Rex poboy ( catfish and shrimp) greens and onion rings. While I was waiting for my order, I had a delightful conversation with 6 year old Bentlee and 8 year old Navee. They were very polite, respectful girls that served me water and said,'You're going to enjoy your meal, Ma'am.' And that I did! I will definitely be going back.

???????? LOUISIANA USA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - With the recent opening of a second location in Bixby Knolls, it was time to revisit the original Long Beach Blvd. Sal's Gumbo Shack, which is now 11 years old. The corner spot got an exterior facelift in 2017, but the delicious Louisiana cooking coming out of the kitchen has remained top notch. While prices have risen quite a bit like most of the industry, dishes from The Big Easy and its wider area are still worth coming here for, especially the namesake gumbo and jambalaya.
