We have everything you want, from steak to seafood.
There's nothing like going to your favorite restaurant with your friends on occasion. Pujo St. Cafe has been a neighborhood favorite for over 30 yea…
With it being a cold night, I decided to order gumbo off of DoorDash, the hype has been surrounding Pujo Street Cafe, known apparently for the “ best gumbo in town” known for being rich and flavorful with a very dark roux.
The potato salad is not included with the gumbo, you have to order the potato salad as a side, the potato salad is priced at $4.50. (Keep in mind every restaurant in town includes the potato salad with the gumbo order).
When I received the order, I noticed that the rice cups were missing from the order, that was until I opened the lid on the cup of gumbo, and to my surprise, the rice was already in the gumbo!
Whoever is in charge in the kitchen at Pujo Street Cafe obviously has no clue what they are doing here, under no circumstances are you to ever serve the rice already in the gumbo much less, serve the rice already in the gumbo to-go! Especially with a delivery driver, waiting for the order, the rice sits in the gumbo for an extended amount of time, sometimes soaking up with the juices. I guess it hurts Pujo St Cafe to order extra cups for the rice.
As for the gumbo itself, the temperature was warm, yes it’s a dark room, but it is definitely rich and flavorful, no seasoning needed however, the gumbo is extremely thick, my personal opinion the rice did soak up majority of the of the gumbo. Also there was barely any chicken in the “chicken and sausage gumbo”.
Not sure if I’ll be ordering the gumbo from Pujo Street again. I think they need to rethink the whole serving the rice in the gumbo formula, AND charging $4.50 for a side of potato salad because this is not how you do it.

Pujo Street Cafe makes the finest Eggs Benedict. What a wonderful brunch delivered right at my doorstep. The mocha flavoring made my coffee perfect. Highly recommend.

OK, SO the chicken and sausage gumbo is VERYYY GOOD!!!!! The Monte Cristo Sandwich is ALRIGHT, bread was a little SOGGY... The Amaretto Raspberry Cheesecake is GOOD REALLY GOOD WITH THE RASPBERRY SAUCE FROM THE SANDWICH 🤤 Can't emphasize how DELICIOUS the GUMBO IS!!!! I would definitely recommend Pujo Street Cafe...

Probably some of the best gumbo I've ever had. Just wish it had more chicken and sausage... even if I had to pay more.

I have never eaten here before and i'm surprised i haven't, the caesar salad was good, the shrimp poboy was great, and that blackberry cobbler. Oh. That d*mn blackberry cobbler was heavenly. I would have ate the whole thing if my pancreas didn't give out when i was 10.
Delicious food, 11/10
