From the restaurant's website, excerpted local historian Peggy Scott Laborde’s foreword to
Gumbo Shop, A New Orleans Restaurant Cookbook:
"The Gumbo Shop is located in one of America’s most historic neighborhoods – the “Vieux Carre” (French for “old square”), also known as the French Quarter. Open since the 1920s as a restaurant, according to veteran New Orleans architect Henry Krotzer, this Louisiana Colonial townhouse is one of a handful of 18th century buildings left in the Quarter."
Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily.

Zagat 2011: 22 food rating (very good to excellent)
The New Orleans Menu by Tom Fitzmorris: *** (worth crossing town for)
"Ask for a table in the courtyard. Order gumbo: The seafood okra and chicken andouille are excellent."
