Great place! Stopped in to share some apps and have a couple of drinks. The service is great! I believe the bartender was Zach and our server who was also awesome was Brian. It was busy and understaffed but they both kicked butt and made it a good experience. The gator and Boudin balls were bomb! We also really liked the shrimp platter! Seafood gumbo was pretty good too. Definitely worth checking out.

After spending a Saturday in the busy and very noisy streets of the quarter, my family was super lucky to find them gem of a restaurant. It’s tucked away so that it’s not too busy but also right where the action is. We were able to have a quiet delicious meal after a stressful walk. The atmosphere was lovely, the waiter, I believe his name was Brian, served us and was extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. The gumbo yaya and the seafood gumbo was delicious (and I know gumbo pretty well). The manager greeted us at some point as well. The place is also wheelchair accessible, which was extremely helpful for my mother. Many restaurants are not assessable in the area even if they say they are. Anyway I wanted to leave a nice review because the place really was genuinely the best part of our New Orleans trip that day.

Gumbo Ya Ya has become a favorite for us. The food is always great. Zack was our server today and was excellent. As someone who tries to avoid gluten he was kind enough to check on a couple of items for me. We will definitely be back when in town again.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Gumbo Ya-Ya, a restaurant in New Orleans. We were absolutely delighted by the authentic and tasty gumbo. The team at Gumbo Ya-Ya was great. The menu had a great variety of dishes to choose from. I could tell that the chefs put a lot of love into each dish. The atmosphere of Gumbo Ya-Ya was also great. It was relaxing and the decor was nice. The restaurant had a cozy, inviting vibe that I really enjoyed. Overall, my experience at Gumbo Ya-Ya was fantastic.

Found this right by Jackson Square after a really busy morning and we were starving forlunch. Isaiah was our server and he was so nice and smiling even though it was short-staffed. Loved the pasta with shrimp and sausage! Loved the classic flavors of the city. Lovely patio and good view of steamboat.

My besties and I went to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. We went to this very quaint restaurant named Gumbo Ya Ya. The restaurant is located near Jackson Square and it's surrounded by several other restaurants and stores. I had shrimp and grits and it was delicious, see pics. My friends had chicken/waffles, shrimp po boy and Gumbo ya ya with a side salad. Everyone loved their food except one friend who was not crazy about her shrimp and grits. The service was very good and our server Deyira was excellent. She was attentive and on point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and it seems to be family oriented. Enjoy!!

I want to give a 5 because of overall flavors and amazing service, but the potatoes salad seemed to be from a container as opposed to a nearby location. I appreciated how he offered positive feedback about possible selections to help in decision making while also encouraging new palate experiences.

The staff was so down to earth The food was so good, we had to take food to go. The bottomless mimosas was all love, they had different flavors and they refill like clock work and let you take a cup with you! Will definitely be back in February ☺️
