Little Daddy's Gumbo Bar

When you walk in, the floor is sticky. Automatically gives you the ick. BUT, the gumbo is delicious! Maybe too much chicken, want more rue! Had the sauerkraut Nathan's dog. Was good but you could tell it was sitting for a while because it was kind of wrinkled. But it was still delicious. The coleslaw is okay it could really use some flavor so I had to put a lot of salt and pepper on it. Chili cheese dog is good I like the chili. The chili cheese fries or okay the fries are really thick and they're not very crunchy even though they're brown looking. All in all I would go back to this place simply for the gumbo with a dark room okra and tomatoes absolutely delicious. The service was absolutely awesome!

Great little place, went for our daughters B-Day, close by her house. Food was great, we had Gumbo, fried fish, fried shrimp and fried Okra. Hit that happy hour margaritas too! Our waitress Rae was so fun, ask for her, we loved her personality. We will be back!

Me and my family of 6 plus our dog, ate here and had the best experience. Initially we were traveling through and looking for a place that would accommodate our dog. The food was great but the service was better. We ate at a table outside but we were never forgotten about. The service was the best service we have experienced in a while. The chicken tenders on the kids meal was high quality and most definitely not frozen tenders. The fries were delicious. The fried shrimp was a 10/10. My fiancé got the red bean and rice and it was wonderful. We got the fried alligator, the boudin, crawfish Étouffée, fried pickles, and my youngest also enjoyed his kids burger. We will definitely go back. This place has it going on. Our server was a woman, I believe it was Ray. And the manger….kudos. 👌

The atmosphere was awesome. Francisco was an excellent waiter. Everyone was kind and the food was amazing! A must visit, especially during happy hour. Drinks were on point! Check out the witches brew for October. Yummy!

Char-grilled oysters, seafood gumbo and a cinnamon apple margarita. 🤯🤯🤯 Absolutely perfect for a Black Friday! Such a gem to find, while out shopping. And ask for Rae, she will make you feel at home, I promise. As did they all! Def coming back!!!

Jay is a wonderful waiter! Super friendly and attentive. The food is always delicious and spicy like we expect it to be. Glasses are always full and the bread pudding is to die for! You definitely feel the New Orleans vibes when you visit. This is our place to come for the last seven years. The jambalaya, Bourbon Street platter and seafood gumbo with grilled squash were excellent along with the Parmesan cheese bread. I only got a photo of Jambalaya because it’s that good.

Beware: Do Not Drink JT’s Witches Brew Margarita! Absolutely delicious and smooth and intoxicating! Walking into Gumbo Bar feels like stepping into a New Orleans dream. And the food? Absolute perfection. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of bold drinks, impeccable seafood, and service that makes you feel right at home, Gumbo Bar is the place. Just remember: beware the Witches Brew Margarita if you have to return to work!

10/10 for the Grinch Margarita 🍹💚 Super good, perfectly mixed, and full of flavor. Definitely worth ordering! Rae was very nice & full of Christmas spirit loveeedd her energy 💚

JT is like the best bartender,he's always very attentive and friendly,he always goes above and beyond to make our night great.The staff is always very nice.The food is always great and the gumbo is the best around.Definitely one of our favor places to eat

The Bourbon Street Platter was a ton of food, and all of it tasted great! A nice sampling of gumbo, étouffée, and jambalaya, complemented by bacon-wrapped shrimp. Rae did an outstanding job serving us. She recommended the bread pudding, and I'm glad we took her suggestion!

Gumbo was good but I did not like what I heard from the kitchen. This was my first time there so I'm only going off of that experience. If I was a server there and the cook talked with me like that we would have a problem. I heard numerous put downs and just overall bad attitude. It made for an overall bad vibe.

We visited on 12/7/2025 at 2pm hoping for an enjoyable lunch but left feeling incredibly frustrated and let down by the service and the overall atmosphere. The general air was chaotic and tense. It seemed the wait staff were more preoccupied with personal disagreements with each other near the kitchen pick up area than serving their tables. This completely ruined any chance of enjoying our meal. We chose to dine here expecting a certain standard of service, but what we received was far below par. We will not be returning and cannot recommend this establishment to others until significant improvements are made to both the front-of-house organization and staff professionalism.

Where's the powder sugar on the beignets? $15 for beignets could be more generous with the powdered sugar..

I thought they would be primarily focused on gumbo and have a ton of different options. That is not the case. 4 page menu and gumbo is the smallest section. If you know what gumbo is supposed to taste like, this ain't it. There was no meat in mine. It was all soup and it tasted like I got it from the bottom of the pot. It almost tasted like barbecue sauce. Whoever made the gumbo did not put their foot in it. 3 bites into it and decided to toss it. Upset I wasted money on this. This is NOT a gumbo bar

Food was not even mid, if youre looking for even a mediocre gumbo this aint it. Just liquid with browniing seasoning and extremely low quality meat and seafood. The beef tasted like it came from a can of chili. The grilled shrimp tasted fishy despite the fact we live near the ocean. This place was a waste of $50. Potato salad is bland af also. Bread was just bread with cheese. Nothing special, there are way better places, the name and dark looking gumbo are a facade lol

The place is clean, the waiters are nice the hostess male is so sweet , the food was delicious no lie this is a good spot !! I'm visiting and was a hit in my book.

Not impressed with the food at all. Gumbo came out luke warm and the rue tasted more like tomato sauce than anything. The catfish poboy would have been okay if they didn't drench it in 2 different sauces. The Cheesy garlic bread was the best part and I could have thrown that together at home. Overall mediocre food, the service was okay not the friendliest or the rudest.

Went one afternoon for a late lunch and was able to indulge in the happy hour menu. It was not at all crowded and I did not have to wait to be serviced. For my appetizer, I had the fried okra and for a drink, I had the Hurricane. Both were good and the drink was surprisingly pretty strong and not watered down at all. I liked the crawfish etouffee but there could have been a bit more crawfish and less vegetables. Overall though, this was a nice meal. Service from my waiter was good and I will definitely be back soon.

I have never heard of this place before but I stopped in on a whim to try it as well, I'm a cajun by blood and couldn't resist a treat from my folks. I ordered a chicken and sausage gumbo in their "Little Daddy" portion ( I'm on a budget yall) for the $15 I tell you I was teleported in my mind back home. I was very much thrilled and savored every last drop of gumbo in the bowl. It was almost exactly as my mom would have made it back before I lost her. The roux was dark and the seasonings and flavorings were present. I loved the hot sauce offering and some of that Crawcaine seasoning to add in. Absolutely delicious and easy on a budget. I don't live too far away to make this a regular haunt. I absolutely loved it and was choking back tears from nostalgia. Thank you for warming my soul. Who ever is in the kitchen cooking that up needs a raise!!

YOOOO!!!! The food was great & the grilled oysters were on point that was served with small buttered baguettes. Shut out to Christine our server she was on point with her service.

LOVELY!! hot, fresh, delicious calm, quiet great drink service was exceptional and sis is 9 months pregnant!!!

i placed a togo order of the big daddy's chicken and sausage gumbo and got a total of 5-6 small pieces of chicken out of all of it to pay 20+ dollars for a meal i would absolutely be expecting better ! they workers are always kind but to pay 20+ dollars for a meal that was majority just roux is disappointing!

Haven't been here in a while and the gumbo used to be pretty good. However, called in an order today for a large order of seafood gumbo and all we basically got was liquid. There were about 5-6 small shrimp and a .25 oz of crab meat. Ridiculous for $20+ dollars. The crawfish poboy we got was also lacking much seafood and $16 and included just a sandwich no fries or no side. I paid $39 for a bun and some roux. Terrible!!

Crawfish done right and great service! Solid Cajun restaurant! Gumbo is on point too!

The food was great! Christine was our server and was so welcoming and attentive. Oysters were a bit small but so fresh and clean shrimp platter was yummy my husband really enjoyed it, we also got the jacked up jalapeños which were huge and fresh! I have to really give it up the the staff for taking such good care of coming in 30 mins before closing. The manager Melissa offered dessert and we had no regrets with the beignets they were huge and were definitely made with love.

I'm saddened to have to give it to 2 Star when all the food is really great, except for now, they haven't gotten the steamer fixed for their gumbo, and now it's back to average. Occasionally I have to go to Webster for work because it's an hour drive for me to Lille Daddys And we will usually go about twice a month. I called them this morning and they're steamers still not fixed so we're going down to the Galveston location hopefully they'll get it fixed so we can get back to normal

I'm in town for business and a local coworker brought me to this GEM!!! Chicken and sausage gumbo was recommended. I had the pleasure of having the best home cooked gumbo a few months ago and thought I'd never find a place that compares. I ordered it just the way it comes. Amazing flavors, good amount of chicken and sausage. I personally can do without the okra. The texture of the okra throws off the texture of the entire dish. One thing I learned was that adding mustard potato salad to the gumbo added another level of flavor. Also made the soup creamier. The potato salad sold here is made with mustard but is too sweet for the gumbo. I will definitely add this place to my favorites and visit frequently, ESPECIALLY when it gets cold

The food here is very delicious! It has a nice and cozy atmosphere! Service is great. The food is very hot and seasoned well!

I've eaten at Little Daddy's Gumbo Bar at least 2 dozen times over the past few years. I've noticed the quality of seafood and beef has gone downhill. When they first opened it was really good. Now, it's nothing like what it was. I ate here this past week and couldn't eat the Mumbo Gumbo. It tasted rotten. It's a very large portion (32 OZ) and consisted of SHRIMP, CRAB, OYSTER, CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND PRIME RIB. SERVED OVER STEAMED RICE but, I don't get the rice. I like to eat mine with potato salad. I would also like to add that there is no way they are using prime rib. The meat was so tough and tasted like a stinky boys shoe. That's the best way I can describe it. My son loved his Gumbo Bar Garage it comes with BLACKENED SHRIMP, CRAWFISH, CRAB MEAT AND SAUSAGE SERVED OVER WHITE RICE. He gave me one of his shrimp when he realized I wasn't eating the gumbo. It was tough, I couldn't even remove the tail because it was so over cooked. My son didn't care, he's 14 and will eat anything LOL. The service was good, our waitress was very attentive. The atmosphere was lofty, everything looked clean and the brick wall reminds me of something you'd see in NOLA. I definitely will not be back, it's a shame because this restaurant has so much potential.

-Really good seafood -Really good service -Nice tucked away location -Prices are fair

This is my favorite gumbo place in Houston. It's 100 miles round-trip and I go there to get there mambo gumbo bowl. It's got everything you want even prime rib. The price is great. The food is the best there is I've eaten gumbo all over the United States and my family lives in New Orleans. There's not a better place in daddy's gumbo bar, they've got a variety of other food but I love their gumbo a number one to me. It doesn't matter where you live. I drive 50 miles one way to go get my gumbo and drive back home go there you won't be disappointed.

What can I say this is a must try spot. The food delicious and they serve large. The drinks alone are well worth to just have a drink. I had gingerbread man and let me tell you I sipped it slowly cause I felt the smoothness of the drink. Super delicious and I even had desert but couldn't eat it so took it home.

Gotta say the food here is truly delicious. I was craving some jambalaya and etouffee and this place delivered. Went here with a couple friends and we all loved the food, and the service was quick with numerous people coming to check on us and ask how we were doing. Told my kids about it, so we shall definitely return another time.

We had a wonderful time at Little Daddy's on Saturday night. The atmosphere was nice & and the staff was very welcoming. We had the bacon wrapped ship and mumbo gumbo. Both were delicious, and servings were big. So bring your appetite! If you're in the Galveston area, this place is a must visit.

My sisters and I visited this establishment during our sister's trip. It was good food , nice staff, tasty drinks. I would visit again. -Chicken & Sausage Gumbo the Seafood Platter was plentiful and tasty. Friend a bit hard but still yummy. Be careful, the. Poppers have a KICK!!

Jambalaya!!!! And Abita Andy Gator!!!! Gumbo Bar on 646 still rocking it... Olivia our server was so sweet and extremely knowledgeable on her menu content. Man, this girl can multitask....She is all over this restaurant. You can tell this isn't her first rodeo. Gumbo Bar always a fav of mine.

Okay I want to start with I went here about a year ago. My wife and I stopped in for dinner and ordered a shrimp po-boy and a bowl of gumbo. The po-boy was pretty basic nothing special, but the gumbo ended up having a piece of metal like a twit tie for your bread. My wife took a bite and chewed it a little to then realize what it was. Thank god it didn't cut her mouth. We told the server which was the bar tender and they told the kitchen, who apologized but never offered to comp off the gumbo that my wife barely even touched. 10 out of 10 would never recommend!!

Love the bar and good. Great reflection of Galveston restaurant. Did not know it was here though. Bar staff great servers great and fabulous atmosphere. Come try some gumbo and the tremendous portions. I suggest getting each a plate and sharing to taste all the cuisine.

TOP NOTCH!!! Service was awesome and food was even better. Crawfish étouffée is absolutely awesome!!!

Little Duddy's gumbo par is absolutely delicious! We got the Greek salad with grilled shrimp and the jacked up jalapeños which I have dreamt about since I had them last. They are a must try!

Fine. I'll say it. There's a hoo-haw on the wall here disguised as an oyster. It even has a pearl disguised as a ... Well, anyway, the food and service here are good, but things could be better, Freudian art notwithstanding. I came here on a Sunday for lunch. What I encountered was good service and a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of darks, natural lighting, zydeco music and ... an expensive menu. The seafood gumbo is good, with its smoky dark roux. The shrimp were tender, but also tasted institutional as I bit into them. This could be solved by seasoning or marinating the shrimp before adding to the gumbo. Not a deal-breaker by any means, rather a reminder that companies like Sysco are far-reaching in their supply efforts. -- The fried okra, served here as an appetizer, is some of the best restaurant fried okra I've ever had. Period. Why they serve it with a side of mayo, I'll never know. Beer selection is limited ... mostly the national brews and Abita products. Abita is fine and most appropriate for this place. Still, as proud of it as Louisiana people are (it's their version of Shiner), Abita is just average beer. My issue with this place has nothing to do with the art on the walls, but the limited price point options on its menu. I came here wanting a po' boy. I also wanted to try the gumbo. But there is no 'cup' option on the menu. You either spend $12 on a small order (which is plenty, by the way) or order something else. I would've been willing to spend $5 on a cup, and another $10 on a 'shorty' po' boy (expensive in itself), and that would've raised the profit margin for the business. But, hey, what do I know? All in all, you might find better gumbo somewhere else, but this stuff is pretty good. (It's Cajun -- not Creole, FYI.) Bring your checkbook though.

I was surprised at how good the food was. I thought they just served gumbo but I was so wrong. Their fried shrimp platter was awesome. The shrimp are big and the flavor was on point. The service was great as well. So don't overlook this little restaurant in the strip center. It's worth a try.

We ordered the shrimp platter & lil daddy seafood gumbo. Yummy! Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5

I love gumbo. I love burgers. And Little Daddy's has the Gumbo Burger. At first glance, the Gumbo Burger looks like an ordinary burger. Just one bite and you can taste New Orleans between the buns. I just wish the burger was a bit bigger. It was so delicious that I wanted more! The fresh cut fries are tastily addictive. While I did sprinkled mine with hot sauce, I have a good feel that they're great without any condiments. It's almost Mardi Gras time so a return visit will be in the cards.

I was hungry AF. I ordered a few things for delivery. Boudin balls & bacon wrapped shrimp were good. Corn on the cob was ice cold, I threw it in the garbage. The gumbo??? I ordered the Mumbo Gumbo- shrimp, crab, oyster, chicken, sausage & prime rib. The roux was horrid. I think they use Kitchen Bouquet. There's no way n hell it could be that dark and lack flavor!!! Not to mention it had a hint of scorch-ness to it. Crab & oysters were none existent. Not one oyster, not one piece of anything resembling crab. If you're not picky and aren't into flavorful gumbo this is the place for you. I will never eat another restaurant gumbo unless it's in Nawlins.

Went with my kids and grandson and it was fabulous! The food was great, our waitress was great, we all left happy and full.

Not impressed. Gumbo had a decent flavor but zero seafood in it. Given the price, I expected to see more than 1 shrimp. The bread was really good though so that's where the 1 star comes from.

Since New Orleans is 6 hours away from us, Little Daddy's is always a place I come to when I need to get my gumbo fix. My favorite is The Seafood Gumbo, along with an order of the Garlic Breadsticks. Little Daddy's runs pretty pricey, but the staff is always friendly. During crawfish season, they DO serve crawfish! But, once again, it's fix. All of their food is not the best, and certainly far from the worst.

Great service food was hot and fresh. Shrim Platter was plentiful and gumbo was full Of flavor

I think this is def a top 3 gumbo . Chicken and sausage . Worked all over Louisiana. Definitely better than most places there . We go a few times a month . Service is alway great . Highly recommend.

Last time we came into Little Daddy's gumbo bar it was so damn cold in here and get hardly stand ourselves maybe y'all can work on the heater for us please I thank you very much the food's great we love this place it's just a little cold in here

Okay - after driving past this place for several years & While waiting at the light, I saw the SHRIMP $1 sign and just had to have it. fried, boiled, grilled and no limit! Love love loved it!! crispy, seasoned, fried and huge! League city by Walmart location off 45 south! Shrimp on y'all!!

Great food and service. Highly recommend the stuffed jalapeños and gumbo. Our server, Chely, was super attentive and kind. One of the owners, Danny, even stopped by and gave us the history of the place and his recommendations. Will definitely return!

I've been coming here for about 4 years. The service is always excellent but today my food was disappointing and that has never happened before. I ordered a bowl of red beans and rice which came out COLD! I had fried shrimp, that was good but I also ordered gumbo Togo. Something has changed. The okra was very stringy.

Little Daddy's started my weekend in Houston off RIGHT. We came on a Friday during lunch and they have great lunch specials for $9.99 as well as $4 fried okra or pickles and $1 beignets. I could have tried one if those, but I wanted to go for the gusto. I ordered the Mumbo Gumbo. It contained literally everything but the kitchen sink - shrimp, sausage, chicken, crab, oysters and prime rib. Yes, you read that right, prime rib. I only omitted the oysters and it was perfection. The roux was perfect and chock full of ingredients. I forgot that EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas, so I ordered the large bowl. I later learned that it's a solid 32 ounces. Needless to say, i barely ate half and was full. I ended up bringing it back to my hotel and eating it the next day - still amazing. The chef came by the table to ask how we enjoyed our meals. I made him laugh with the props I gave. I wasn't blowing smoke. It was that good. I won't be back in TX without stopping by.

11-16-2023, we ordered a large sausage and chicken gumbo to go. Man o man it was so good with plenty of chicken and sausage I just can't say enough how good it was. With the garlic bread and condiments.Fantastic supper on a cool nite. Thanx again crew at little daddy's gumbo bar. See you again soon.

The food is pretty good to very good. There are several gumbo choices, I like chicken and sausage. A few things to mention: you may buy shrimp one at a time, jumbo, for $1 each. They may be boiled, fried, grilled, blackened. They have some really nice entrees too. The red beans and rice are excellent, for my taste. The staff is friendly and attentive. If you want to see or try something, ask if you can just taste a sample. I have done this, however I am a regular too. This place could be four stars, it's just a bit small. Worth the trip and I consider an excellent value for quality food!
