The Jambalaya Shoppe - Port Allen, Louisiana

With all the craziness from the recent weather, I didn’t realize I was completely out of my back stock of gumbo until Sunday. By the time I made it to one store—and then another, and another—I knew I was out of luck. No chicken, no sausage, no hope of making my own gumbo. But Monday evening, on my way home from work, I decided to stop by The Jambalaya Shoppe in Brusly, and let me tell you, it was the best decision I’ve made in a while!

The gumbo was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. It was exactly what I needed to save the day (and my week!). The convenience of grabbing a bucket without compromising on that homemade quality was a lifesaver. I’ll definitely be back, and next time, I’ll know where to go first when I’m in a gumbo pinch!

I’m from Texas and I was looking for some good soul food. I found great tasting food and amazing service! I told the gentleman at the front counter that I’m from Texas and never been there. He brought me some delicious food to sample. Originally I was just going to buy just a sausage link but I ended up getting the pork jambalaya bowl. So good!!! 😊

It was my first time ever in the State of Louisiana. The store was clean and the employees were friendly and very attentive. They gave us some samples before we place an order. It was my first time trying Jambalaya and it was Delicious!!!!!

Ordered food on Oct 14. 2024. Jambalaya, gumbo. Crayfish pie and sides. Every item on the menu was horrible. I can't believe that a business sells awful food like that I could not eat any of it. It was full of salt and the only meat in the jambalaya and gumbo was the thigh of the chicken. No seasonings in it except salt. No green onions. Etc. Waitress were polite. I spent 82.00 on that food. I will tell my credit card company. It was so bad we threw the good away. Jambalaya was goey and sticky and did not seem fresh at all

First time eating here, really friendly staff, and we should have one up in iowa, but we dont.

I ordered Tuesday's special which was pork roast with rice and gravy and there were literally two sample sized pieces of meat on my plate. It was more like a rice and gravy plate with 2 sides. Literally no meat as you can see. I am not sure if this is the normal portion size or if they ran out of meat and just didn't mind to ask me if I wanted something else instead . Their food is normally good.

I like Jambalaya and I had been meaning to try the Jambalaya Shoppe to see if it was good. I got the jambalaya (chicken and sausage) for two and a link of Boudin. I gotta tell you, none of it was very good. The jambalaya had hardly any seasoning and hardly any sausage. The Boudin tasted like it had been boiled. It had no flavor and no seasoning. I only could eat one bite. With a diet Coke, my total was $24.52. So.... Closing remarks... Jambalaya. That's mostly rice. With barely any sausage in it. Which is super cheap. And a link of Boudin that was not really edible. That's WAAAAAAAAAY overpriced. Don't waste your money there. Sorry.

The team member at the register was friendly and professional.

I'm a french canadian trucker, it's my first time visiting Louisiane and I always wanted to try the food of my distant relatives louisiana acadians but I wasn't here long enough to visit an actual decent restaurant so I ordered from this restaurant with Uber Eat and god knows this food was disappointing, I've ordered combo#1 wich included a gumbo soup, jambalaya rice and so called crawfish pies(I've never had crawfish in my life)... The soup was so salty that I had to drink 2 bottles of water while trying to eat that soup wich I ended up throwing out of the window and the chicken on both jambalaya and soup was DRY and bland... Otherwise the jambalaya rice itself wasn't bad nor fun to eat,same for the crawfish pies who just tasted like bad pork empanadas with a taste of crab.
The bread pudding tasted good but was dry as well.
Honestly I feel like I have been served "yesterday leftover with lot of salt on it" branded as "cajun food" , I will have to wait for my next trip to Louisiane to have decent Louisiana acadians "cajun" food
