Bourbon Street Gumbo and PoBoys - Waterford Township (MI)

5 /5 David Gatti: This place is THE SPOT. Writing this review as a cajun/creole food lover, and someone who has been regularly dissapointed by some of the "genuine" places in NOLA, this is a place that gets it right. The shrimp poboy was stuffed, and I mean STUFFED with shrimp, with plenty of fixins, on great bread. These shrimp are big, juicy, perfectly tender, and most important of all SEASONED. The gumbo mixes it up, in the best way. Youve got pretty traditional creole gumbo ingredients, but THE ROUX. This is a dark, cajun roux like only the real ones know. Earthy, herbal, and kicking you in the teeth. And like the poboy they dont skimp on you. Absolutely filled up with delicious sausage and seafood. But let me tell you what youre really here for, and thats this etoufee. Listen...Im sorry I thought Id only want the side order. Itll never happen again. But this etoufee may have just replaced slows mac n cheese as my go-to comfort food. It hits every note. And it hits you different ways. On approach its got this warm, earthy vibe, almost like a really good mushroom risotto. But then you go in and BAM you get the sweet from the seafood and the trinity. Other quick notes. Nothing was greasy; theres no film of seperated fat running everywhere (see pics!). And the ratio of rice to topping was perfect. All in all its fantastic food at great value. Easily enough food for two grown adults for right around $50. Will 100% be back and be telling others.

5 /5 Eric small: The guys were very friendly and helpful! The food was delicious! We drove about an hour to get here. Everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were on point! It reminded me of being in New Orleans. Portions for the sides were pretty decent. We were able to split everything between 3 people. Everything is made to order. 10/10 I will have to try the Burbon pecan pie next time! We tried a bunch of things: Red Beans and Rice 5/5 Gumbo 5/5 Jambalaya 5/5 Etoufee 5/5

5 /5 K J: My dad and I stopped in for the first time to try this place today. We had been meaning to go sooner! This is a family owned business and they were so friendly and nice to talk to. I ordered the red beans and rice and my dad ordered the crab & crawfish etoufee. The food came out nice and hot! My dish came with a chicken tender and it was nice and crispy on the outside, but juicy on the inside. Perfect. The red beans and rice were really good. They had the perfect amount of spice, warm enough to clear out the sinuses, but not so hot that it burned my taste buds. They do not skimp on the meat, there was so much andouille sausage in it that I had some in every bite, which I love. They checked in on us a couple times to make sure we were enjoying the food, which was really nice. We enjoyed everything about our experience here today and I cant wait to go back and try a po boy, the french fries and mac & cheese!

5 /5 Briana Harper: Stopped in with my mom who had been wanting to try something new. I didn’t plan on eating but we ordered the fried chicken po boy and a side or red beans and rice. I tried the rice first and OMG it was delicious! The po boy was absolutely huge, I had one bite and ended up eating half her sandwich. The people were so nice and friendly. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone! So good!
