"Luckily, we still have Gumbo Bros. near downtown Brooklyn, offering several versions of the namesake soup; and Tchoup Shop, which is set in a bar in Bushwick and captures the down-and-dirty aspects of Cajun bar food, including red beans and rice, and a fried catfish po’ boy." - Robert Sietsema

"Critic Robert Sietsema once declared the Gumbo Bros. destination-worthy in a three-star review of the tiny restaurant. It has a small menu, too: three kinds of gumbos and four kinds of po’ boys, including an excellent fried green tomato version. There are sides and desserts to fill in the gaps. The narrow space with its exposed brick wall gives the restaurant a homey look." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"The Gumbo Bros is a small counter-service spot on Atlantic Ave serving gumbo and po’ boys on plastic plates. Along with a bunch of LSU gear on the walls, there’s a large map showing the towns around Louisiana where all of the ingredients come from. The menu consists of three gumbos and three po’ boys, with a meat, seafood, and vegetable option for each. The dark gumbos are rich and spicy, while the po’ boys are served on bread flown in from New Orleans. Our order here is Nanny’s seafood gumbo, a fried catfish po’ boy, and a couple beers. You’ll start feeling closer to the towns on that map than Jay Street Metrotech a couple blocks away." - Matt Tervooren

We had an epic Sunday at this authentic Louisiana Cajun Cuisine spot. Everything we ordered was on spot. Great Service. Chef Adam came out to make sure we are enjoying our selves and offered us some Abita beers. This is my definitely new favorite spot and I recommend any kind of Po' Boy, Gumbo and when in season the boil.

Great to have shine Cajun food like this in Brooklyn! No need to go into Manhattan now for good gumbo like Great Jones Cafe. It is legit here (and much quicker and better service). Good prices, too. Po' boys found could use a little more seasoning, but otherwise my belly left happy. Will be back!

Pretty good place to swing by for a quick meal to catch. The po'boys are nice and freshly prepared; although the seafood gumbo contained "mushy" shrimp that didn't offer a delightful texture. While thick in consistency and full of fillings, it was also overseasoned (in my opinion). Nice decor space reminscent of New Orleans.

I found them and came fro Harlem just to try and see for myself. The place is inviting and open. I had the sausage and shrimp gumbo cup. I'm a greedy person and cup is deep so its more than enough especially if you pair it with the sandwich. Gumbo was good and filling. Shrimp po'boy had lots of shrimp and nice warmed bread. The boudin balls were soooooo good. Highly underrated. They are huge and the taste is not lacking at all. It's a must try. P.s. the had one of my face hot sauce crystal

My wife grew up on the Bayou. She says this is a good as her family's cooking back home. Amazing po' boys, red beans & rice, Gumbo and if you're lucky - they do a crawfish bowl occasionally.

This is the same one as the one in Nashville. Bottom line: this is delicious and one of the best gumbo in NYC. Everything they make here is sourced from the south.(they even had a map telling you where they get everything from) Menu is online. We had dine-in, but a lot of people were getting takeout. The restaurant is small and definitely will not fit groups bigger than four. The staff was super friendly and fast. They were bringing out take out orders super quickly! We had the fried chicken poboy sandwich, gumbo, beers and beignets! Everything was so delicious! The beers were awesome!

I was here for an intimate YE and the Gumbo Bros did it well! I've never had this gumbo I've heard so much about so I was eager to try. I'll list what I ate in the order I ate it: A. Boudin Balls which I renamed rice balls were spicy and fall apart juicy. I was shocked I enjoyed this so much because I'm not a spicy eater. After I had everything else I even had one more balls they were so good. One more balls, hahahaha, anyway I digress. B. Hot honey fried chicken (sandwich). Hot, crispy and so so tasty. Like mummy made them herself tasty. C. Seafood z'herbs gumbo was different. Like I said it was my first time trying...give me some time. D. The fried green tomatoes with the accompanying dip was a savory, delish treat! E. Chicken and sausage gumbo. Now by this time I'm super full and eating out of spite. I kid you not. I'm not registering what's happening in my mouth and stomach. F. The Peachy pig poboy or (pulled pork sandwiche) so so tender and juicy. G. Braised (collard) greens I found extremely tart. H. That banana pudding! My first. You've got to get to The Gumbo Bros and try yourself! You MUST! I. The New Orleans tunes playing in the background, so cool! Dem horns! The Gumbo Bros showed us such a wonderful time! Adam, his bro, Kai and the rest of their team worked tirelessly to make sure we wanted for nothing! Platter after platter plus we left a full boat of beer. Thank you so much to our Peter and Katey for putting together such a wonderful evening! You work hard to keep raising the bar and I for one feel really blessed to be on this food journey with you. Always happy to catch up with my fellow buds. The End.

Got the soft shell crab Po boy and red beans and rice. Po boy was good, not great, but good. Red beans and rice were really good. Buddy said the chicken and sausage gumbo was really good as well. It was good enough to come back and try for myself. Nice spot for a quick bite. Service was exceptional.
