Unlike many of the other restaurants in Austin, Gumbo's does not have 'character.' At least not in the ""Austin"" sense. In most cities character means a unique flair, a little panache. In Austin, 'character' means loud, crowded restaurant in a run down house. Gumbo's is classy. Lively but not overly loud, friendly but professional. The food is some of the best you'll have. By far our favorite. Don't forget to stop by Brown Bar while waiting for a table.
Pros: food, atmosphere, food
