12/30/25 & 1/21/26 My husband and I have been to Gumbo YaYa twice now, and it has been consistently delicious both times. We ordered the Maque Choux and the Hog Wild Red Chili this recent visit and did a half-and-half combo with extra garlic bread (highly recommend for soaking up every last bite). We chose rice as our base, but they also offer grits, pasta, or jambalaya. Make sure you ask to sample a few options before committing to your option Everything was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly and very patient especially with me asking a million questions about their various spice levels in their dishes. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding, which was good, but the peanut butter pie was absolutely amazing, it didn’t even make it home before it was gone. They do have beer options here as well. The ambiance inside is very casual and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. We will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! I haven't had Cajun food like this since I was in New Orleans. The portions are absolutely enormous and totally affordable. I got the etouffee and Maque Choux, and they were incredible. I ate and ate and seemed like I never even made a dent in my food. The service was super fast as well.

Stopped in for Mardi Gras and the Alligator Étouffée. Food's good, atmosphere's stellar, service is top-notch. They're a great restaurant year-round, but they really do it up for Fat Tuesday. Love the decorations, the free beads and wristbands, and the complimentary slice of in-house, scratch-made King Cake. Maybe next year I'll finally find the Baby!!
