The food and the owner are great. Fresh seafood, great pasta , good prices. The owner is on location most of the time and will make sure you receive great customer service and hot food. Although this place in a gas station definitely don't sleep on the food. It's great!!!!!

Best Gumbo I've had in Texas. Gumbo Mama such a seeet lady. Came from out of town. May be in a beat down gas station, but everyone knows that's where the real hidden gems are. Burger was great too.

Gumbo was excellent, can't wait to try the other items on the menu!! Mama was nice and her gumbo is the truth!!!

Tastes okay but very much overpriced for what you receive. In a corner gas store that needs serious attention in cleaning. The young man working that day was very nice but I just can't see myself returning. Was very disappointed.

Full of rice. Not much gumbo. It was very good but way too much rice. They’re trying to stretch it too much.

Called in a order for lunch and was meet with a friendly loving voice. Gumbo mama herself took my order and she was so helpful and customer service was excellent. Now, I order the medium Gumbo and a piece of fried fish. The fried fish didn't even make it back to work. Crispy on the outside and nice and fluffy on the inside. Baby that GUMBO was soooooo good. Filled with chicken and shrimp and sausage. Also came with a crab leg too! Really did taste like my grandmothers gumbo. Just because it's on the inside of a gas station don't look past it. It's really a hidden gem.

Tucked inside a gas station in a questionable area near the med center is a Cajun influenced southern soul food menu with flavors that will knock your socks off. I was initially hesitant to enter due to the location and vagrants congregating in the parking lot but was greeted at the door by the gas station attendant who held the door open for me and closed it behind as I entered (possibly locked it too).The sweetest lady (I think Gumbo mama herself) greeted me and immediately told me about the specials they were offering and told me that all new customers got a free slice of cake. She was so pleasant and excited to have me there, it was genuinely touching and you can feel how much care she puts into her food and business. I decided to just try the seafood gumbo and the cake slice. The cake didn't even make it home. So moist and the sugary crust was perfection. The gumbo was absolutely delicious. Thick and flavorful and full of bite sized sausage and small shrimp. I ate it when I got home after a 30+ min drive and it was still nice and hot. The medium wasn't very big, maybe 6-8 oz, but still very filling.I would say prices are more than I was expecting to find for a gas station but the food and service are high quality. There are a few stools at the counter if you can't wait and want to eat it there.Definitely recommend and will return!
