Sal's Gumbo Shack

Can you believe they charged me 25 dollars for this ? I should have looked it over carefully before I left.. Sal’s Gumbo Shack!! You ever go somewhere and it’s so disappointing you almost can’t even talk about it? Ugh!! 25 dollars for two legs and 1/2 of what I think is a breast, but it’s really just a 1/2 breast with 2 pieces of skin layered one on top of the other.. That is an intentional rip off.. The greens were so bitter with vinegar they were inedible and the rice and beans were so dry I couldn’t get them off the spoon.. I’ve had some shitty meals before, but this one is now like top 5.. It’s so weird because a few weeks ago I had some decent wings.. but that’s all I had.. The wings were like 15 bucks for 3 wings so I thought the meal would be a better value.. WRONG! Well, lesson lea

When you come to support a black business, and of course everything is crazy expensive. I dont get why its like that. Most places at least give you good portions though. Here... Yeah no, more broth/water than anything else. You can't even write a review without the owner and having so much time in her hands to check everyone else pages and negative reviews. Of course, there will always be more negatives than praises. Welcome to reality, you reap what you sow. You give the energy an get it right back. Not everyone "is hating on you." Get over yourself. Put your energy into your food, it goes a long way.

Absolutely delicious!I have never had this style of food in my life and it was absolutely wonderful. The place was great I didn't think they expected us to dine in, but the staff was still welcoming. Most of the customers I noticed got to go plates. But this is a cute last min place to grab a hearty filling meal. A customer told me it is authentic as Louisiana cooking! I Ordered a small gumbo that was indeed filling on its own, fried pickles, okra, and was ready to get dessert if my pants didn't constrict me! The portions were plenty and worth the price. I hope to return soon and order the biggest size of gumbo they have 💜

🇺🇸 LOUISIANA USA (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - With the recent opening of a second location in Bixby Knolls, it was time to revisit the original Long Beach Blvd. Sal's Gumbo Shack, which is now 11 years old. The corner spot got an exterior facelift in 2017, but the delicious Louisiana cooking coming out of the kitchen has remained top notch. While prices have risen quite a bit like most of the industry, dishes from The Big Easy and its wider area are still worth coming here for, especially the namesake gumbo and jambalaya.

The food was by no means bad. I just prefer my gumbo to have more flavor/spiciness. The turkey wings were fine. We waited 30+ minutes for our order so, I definitely recommend calling ahead.
