Wow!!! This place is GREAT!! Located at Heritage Station (#3) The food was DELICIOUS!!! My sister, me, and my hubby decided to give this a try, and we are so glad we did!!! My sister got the Cajun Sampler, which had Jambalaya, Gumbo, and Shrimp Etoufee, and it usually comes with Red Beans n Rice, but she changed it out to their Cheesy Crawfish Bread. I was surprised she ordered this because she is a picky eater, especially with soups, but she LOVED all of it, said the spices were amazing. I got a Maui Maui Po Boy, it was very good!!!! I could only eat half of mine but it was very filling and I would order it again!! Hubby got the Tarpon Springs Iconic Greek Salad (small) with Air Fryed Oysters, and he loved his stuff as well. Definitely recommend!!!!! And we will definitely be back!

Food was really good! A unique find, for sure. It's authentic, flavorful, and a bit spicy... As it should be. We had the Crawfish Bread, Shrimp Etouffee, Jambalaya and Potato Salad.

If you’ve been thinking of trying gumbo stop and haven’t yet, just do it. The environment is so homey and inviting. The food is the same, it’s amazing. I’ve had it 3 times in the past 2 weeks. Not too much seating inside but there’s outdoor seating and they have a room beside the restaurant for extra seating. You can tell they care about their customers and the food. 10/10!

Delicious food and service! Grits were so yummy maybe the best we’ve had. Potato salad and Greek salad was also a favorite. Nice location in amongst others at Heritage Station.

Stopped by here while we were heading east. We had crawfish bread, crawfish etouffee and jambalaya, and all of them were very good! I would say this was the best etouffee I’ve ever had so far.
