"Always order the namesake gumbo at Sal’s two Long Beach locations, but don’t sleep on the po’ boys, candied yams, cornbread, oxtails, macaroni and cheese, and occasional pound cake special, either. There are a few tables to dine inside at either shop (the interiors are at once no-frills and highly eclectic), but the food also holds up well for takeout." - Mona Holmes
