The Gumbo Bros · 12 South
The Gumbo Bros bring Louisiana cooking to a 12th Avenue South bar in the Gulch. Gumbo anchors the menu, and a food truck parked outside remains part of the setup. The room is a casual place to settle in for Cajun plates and drinks.
Spicy Boy’s · East Nashville
Spicy Boy's serves Louisiana cooking from a small stone house on McFerrin Avenue. The menu includes house-made boudin and andouille, roux-rich gumbo, meat pies and fried shrimp. Order at the counter, then find a seat in the dining room, bar or terrace.
Voodoo Gumbo · Bellevue
Voodoo Gumbo brought Creole cooking to a Bellevue shopping center. Gumbo anchors the menu, joined by étouffée, jambalaya, po' boys and beignets. The casual room gives that west Nashville neighborhood a place for a bowl or a fuller Louisiana meal.
