Been there twice so far. I had the jambalaya...just the right amount of spicy and heat - loved it and highly recommend the dish. My friend had the drunken chicken and she thought her dish was excellent as well. They also offer samples!!

As always I am traveling and came across this place. I'll start by saying TERRIBLE location, TERRIFIC food. Completely blown away by this place and will recommend it as it was a great place to grab some Cajun cuisine. I had the étouffée and added shrimp and crawfish to make it a manly serving of meat. Additional charge by the way, but worth it as I think it was the perfect portion for me. Huge bowl mostly rice but the taste was awesome. Also bought a slice of cornbread which was awesome, just sweet enough for my taste buds. Great place and great vibe spending a lot of time in the great state of Alabama and the service was spectacular. The lady in the kitchen actually came out and had a great convo with me and details about the city since I was heading dt for the Cleveland Indians game. Kudos to J. Gumbos!

I have been there twice now in the last month. First time I had the gumbo and is was spot on. Owner gave some samples of th the voodoo and drunken chicken and they were great. Went back the second time and decided to have the drunken chicken, once again the flavor of the food was awesome, except this time they poured it over a huge bowl of rice. Way too much rice in my opinion and ran out of the tasty drunken chicken before I knew what hit me. I will be back but for the 9 bucks spent, I had expected less rice (filler) and more of that tasty chicken, would have almost preferred it to be by itself in a bowl like a soup. That being said, portions are huge. However I will be going back for the Gumbo t get more bang for my buck.

I was in town on business and couldn't pass up a place with gumbo in the name, even if it is in Ohio. I was the only customer at around 7 pm, which was odd, but it didn't really help with the service. The girl was kind of rude and inattentive. The voodoo chicken was pretty delicious, but not as hot as it's made out to be. I took advantage of the hot sauce and spiced mine up quite a bit. The best thing about this place is they give free samples to indecisive people like me. I would eat here again, if I ever visit again, but the place only gets three stars because of the bad service.

Just landed in cold-artic blasting-snow falling Cleveland. Get to my hotel room, and dinner time arrives. Started looking around on here I did notice that there were plenty of good eating spots close to the hotel, so decided that Cajun was definitely what I wanted. Arrived at the place, and it was a nice chilled out spot, Nice place overall. Food was sorta salty, but it is expected with this type of cuisine. Spicy enough, which made it very pleasant to eat. Waiters were very helpful and gave me some free samples of their dishes. Overall, liked the food, Might go back if i get some time while i'm in town!

J Gumbo was my first (and not the last) experience with Cajun cuisine, and they made it easy for me. When you arrive, the staff guides you through the menu and even offer samples. For someone who thought gumbo was jambalaya and vice-versa, this was super helpful. I ordered a half-and-half combo with voodoo chicken and red beans/rice. I don't have a biggest tolerance for spicy food, but I thought the food could have been spicier. The voodoo is one of the spiciest they offer, and while flavorful, was missing the cajun kick I was expecting. The entrees are served over a huge bowl of rice and with a large piece of garlic toast. Entrees are inexpensive, filling, and packed full of different spices and ingredients. They offer vegetarian and healthier options for those on a special diet as well.

We found this by accident and are so glad we did. The food is excellent and definitely reminds us of the Cajun we had in New Orleans. We tried the crawfish cheese dip, bourbon chicken, and jean laffiette. All were excellent.
(5)Jordan B.
Outstanding food at below fast food prices. Rich, the owner, came out personally to insist I try samples of several other things besides my entree. I will be back here in a heartbeat. This is how you run a restaurant.

I know I just ate out yesterday, but whatev's, I have no shame. Somebody needs to explore all of these food establishments! I am taking one for the team! My cholesterol is good so bring on another fried oreo! Just kidding! My nutritionist is gonna be pissed. So I've heard about the J Gumbo's located downtown and it's been on my list to try so imagine my excitement when I discovered there's a location down the road from my work! A couple co-workers and I headed on out for lunch. This place is located in the plaza behind Wendy's and the Shell gas station on Rockside road. It's a bit newer as I think it opened up December 2014 so inside is relatively nice with a bar and some neat artwork on the walls (that crab painting has a Van Gogh quality to it). I also liked how they were playing some music by Tab Benoit. The lady at the register was friendly and when we walked in she had just brought out a tray of little samples for the customers in front of us to try. That is awesome! I am always so indecisive so I think it's great when a place let's you try a couple things to help you make up your mind. You can't always just ask about the items because staff will typically say "Oh everything is good". I decided to do a mix and get two entrees in one bowl for $8.95. Half was the Crawfish Étouffée and the other half the Bourbon Street Chicken (each bowl also comes with a piece of buttered French bread). One thing I need to mention is that when I asked for a cup for water I was given a regular sized cup! Not a tiny plastic baby cup! Thank you!! We were given plastic order number cards and sat down at a high top table where a staff member would bring out our dishes when ready. We didn't wait very long, maybe 5 minutes max. The food looks appealing and they definitely give you a decent sized portion that will fill you up. The flavors were great too. First bite of the thick/mushy étouffée and I was like "eh", but it grew on me and I really enjoyed the spiciness of it. Definitely made me drink a lot of water! I found there to be an adequate amount of sauce to cover all of my white rice, and although the crawfish meat was not overly abundant, there were some good chunks of it. The bourbon was on the mild side and had a sweet taste to it which I enjoyed. Lots of chicken in this dish. I think mixing the two really aided in making this meal so great because it then wasn't lacking in sauce or meat like other reviewers mentioned. The only minor downside to our experience was that the food came out somewhat lukewarm, so my only suggestion would be to turn up temperature a little bit. Also, this isn't really a complaint, but I did notice we were just about the only women in the place. Lots of men; maybe they are more inclined to eat a heartier lunch than women? After we were done with our meals, what appeared to be the owner or manager came over and took away our plates, graciously accepted our compliments about the food, and gave us $2 off coupons to share with our other co-workers. Overall we all enjoyed our meals and I would definitely come back!

First time I have been to J Gumbos and was pleasantly suprised. It has a very good size bar and dining area that I noticed right away even though I did take out. I wish I knew about this place during the freezing Cleveland winter! Friendly staff that offered me some samples of a couple of different options. The only complaint that I have is they need to add a bit more sauce with the rice bowls. Taste was great but got a little bland once I ran out of sauce towards the end even with mixing it up before hand. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes. Overall this place is priced great and worth a try if you like cajun food.

Just ran across it @ lunch time, so glad I stopped in. The items on the menu don't get any better. The food, value and service were excellent. They get it ! Ya gotta go !

I am from Louisiana and was in town on business. Tried the crawfish étouffée and Voodoo chicken. Both were really too hot with pepper to taste the flavors. Étouffée was thick and pasty with very few crawfish. Needed to be more like gravy and more crawfish. Voodoo chicken was okay. Just some suggestions. I did enjoy the music and decor though.

I love this place! First fast food gumbo place I know of. The food is excellent and it has a bar and bands. I highly recommend it! I have tried most all food and really think it's the best.

Second time we've been to j gumbos's and I love it! First time I tried the ratatouille and thought it was good. But then they recommended the bumblebee stew. Awesome!! And it's vegetarian. I've only been for dinner when it's full service, which I like. I don't think that's available during lunch. And this location has a full bar so I could enjoy a glass of wine. Service was good both times, and David was super nice. Perfect place for a winter dinner!

Great food fast and affordable!!! I have only gotten takeout, but each time I was offered samples and greeted by friendly staff. Portion sizes are very generous and filling. I have tried the Voodoo Chicken which is deliciously spicy as well as the red bean n rice.
(5)Marla B.
Great ambiance! Upbeat jazz, N. O. colors. On a Monday night, one lady cashiered and waited tables. Great service. Loved the gumbo - perfect spiciness. Husband liked his red beans and rice. We're passing through from CO, but glad we found this place

I went to J. Gumbo for lunch the other day. After I asked the staff a series of questions, which they answered promptly, I settled on the Jambalaya. It took longer than I expected to get the food nut once it arrived I was smiling! it was plentiful, tasty and a good value! if you like Gumbo, check out this place.
(4)Tina H.
Food and atmosphere were very good. We were greeted promptly and with. Welcoming smile. Étouffée had a good amount of crawfish. Bumblebee stew and white chili, very good. But, wait until you try the cornbread! Delicious.
