"While most people come to The Cajun Stop to crack open crawfish, the gumbo is the sleeper hit of the menu. The opaque roux hides the seafood in the dish, but it’s easy to taste all the hidden elements after a spoonful. And while the roux is on the thinner side, the smokiness of the gumbo here rivals even the thickest bowls on this guide. Grab a cup of the seafood gumbo the next time you find yourself at this EaDo place having a crawfish boil." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
