Gumbo Pot - Vicksburg

Nice place for fresh good food. Friendly server employees and owners. Great tasting homemade food for very affordable price. Much better then fast food in the area. Grits and shrimps and catfish with home-cancer sauce is beautiful. There are daily specialty is just a good choice if you want to eat every day!! Do not forget to taste it white chocolate bread pudding!! You will surely be home for friends and family!!

My husband and I traveled from Atlanta Ga back to Fort Worth Texas and we stayed in Mississippi to rest and have dinner. We decided to try Gumbo Pot because it was not so far from our hotel. We saw on the line on the map do that we know exactly what we wanted when we arrived at the restaurant. We're coming and going in and it was so crowded that we couldn't even see the counter. Finally, we realized that it was covered by ppl waiting for a table and ppl tried to place an order. We're finally here to order. And she takes our orders, we'll tell her it's an order, and then she says you want to typ us now? So my husband gives her a $5.00 tip for our order. She tells us that it will be about 25 minutes, so we decided to wait outside just because she said when upur order is ready, we call you inside to get it. After 20 minutes, my husband says I'll be there if our order is ready that he goes in and the food just sits on the counter and no one thought we'd even call us in to get it! You get your tip after we get our meal. I think that was a bad customer service. The guy stood in there waiting for his order, told us that our meals were up there on the counter for at least 5 to 6 minutes? I just give them three because the food was great. Fried Catfish, French fries roll, and hush puppies. The food was great and I would definitely recommend this restaurant, only thing is customer service was not so great?

I enjoy eating at Gumbo Pot during my visit to Vicksburg MS. I had the fried shrimps, oysters, catfish and white chocolate bread pudding. Of course I couldn't go the Gumbo pool and not try the Gumbo. It was okay, the taste was different from me. Although the shrimp and fish were good, I think the oysters and the white chocolate bread pudding was my favorite. There is a variety on the menu to please all in your group. I'd definitely go back in the area.

The first time to eat here and the food was great. The gumbo was seasoned well, but the shrimps were a little too ready for me and the fried green tomatoes were delicious. The first time I eat them, but I'll get a double order next time.

I 'm sorry, bur I have to tell my experience. I am from out of town and was recommended this place. However, it didn 't impress me on my first visit. I called and placed my order. I arrived to pick up my order and carelessly trusted that everything was fine. When I got to hotel room, I opened up my plates and the order was missing both of our sides, no oysters which was suppose to come with what I ordered, and extra bread instead of my oysters. I immediately took a pic before I took anything (posted pic is after returning to pick up my sides). I called and told them what was wrong. I came back to pick up my sides. While I was waiting, another woman was getting very upset, because she did the same, but checker her plates before leaving . (Smart). They messed her order up. They had to redo hers. Her total wait time for a call in order was over an hour. When I get there to pick up my sides, I asked the manager did are want to see my pic. Her reply told me all I needed to know. Her reply was, No, I believe you, I 'm not surprised. If this happens frequently, then someone needs to be held accountable. Word of mouth goes a long way. Once again I trusted everything was fine. I got to room, set down and opened up my onion rings, 5 of them. I 'm beginning to wonder if $50 was worth this much trouble. ? However, the food is good but they need to step up the customer service a notch.
