on Citysearch Jul 19, 2008Due to its location in downtown square Douglasville parking can be a bit difficult and the wait can be a bit insane if you arrive after 5pm... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 14, 2008This place is fantastic, one of our favorite restaurants. It's not a place that I would take kids regularly, it's more of an adult restaurant at dinner time. The crab stuffed mushrooms are amazing and the portions are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 24, 2007My family recently went to Gumbeaux's Tuesday night and had the best meal. The service was great also. We do go often, however, we do not go on the weekends as much. The best time to go is through the week. If you do go on the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 11, 2007Staff was not friendly and Manager was very unprofessional and argumentive. Restaurant was very busy and we were told the wait was 45 minutes. That was fine. Went upstairs to the bar for a glass of wine. It took more... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 11, 2007OK...I believe the people who work at the restaurant are the only ones giving this place a high rating. I cannot believe people who don't work at this restaurant would actually give it a high rating....I can't believe... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 22, 2006No, I completely disagree with the previous review. This is a great restaurant. The food is very cajun and very authentic. You are completely wrong when you say get a cajun chef, when in fact the owner and the chef are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 13, 2006I went to this restaurant and ordered a sample of about five items on the menu. Having lived on the Bayou of Louisiana, I can tell you this IS NOT real cajun food. The so-called red beans and rice are nothing but pinto... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2006I recently went to Gumbeaux's for the first time. What a restaurant find! I arrived for lunch on a Saturday, and was promptly seated. Gumbeaux's is an unpretentious, hole-in-the-wall kind of place (and these kinds... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 14, 2006This is definitely one of Douglasville's best restaurants, perhaps one of the better in the Atlanta area. The cajun entrees are authentic and very good. The portions are large so be prepared to take some home! One of... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 14, 2006This place is GREAT! If you like seafood and don't want to go to Atlanta or a chain where you will get previously frozen crab legs from the west coast and canned clam chowder, then go to Gumbeax! The food is always... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 12, 2006Their food does not taste like authentic Louisiana cooking. It is like a tourist trap with below average food from back home picked up and moved to Douglasville. Nice try, find a real cook. What's up with your name?... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 24, 2006This has got to be honestly one of my all-time favorite spots. Located in "downtown Douglasville" on Main St., they manage to keep a wait pretty much every night, and often during lunch as well. With a down-to-earth,... (more)

on Judys Book Oct 24, 2005The roast beef po' boy and hush puppies will blow you away!!! Make sure you have a full glass of ice tea ready though. The hush puppies can be a little spicy! My husband really enjoys the catfish po' boy and hush puppies.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 08, 2002I have been going to Gumbeaux since it opened years ago. The food has always been great and the servers very friendly. You get that small town feel! If the wait is too long, it is only because the food is great and, like... (more)
