""Holy mackerel”, is my response to this non-seafood gumbo. Delicious, with an overwhelming turkey flavor in the “aged” one, particularly. Medium-dark brown (“it’s my turkey that gives it the color”). Medium-thick. Great seasoning and spices. Sticky-lip gumbo, from all that divine collagen."

Larry Olmsted

"Even the gumbo, another passion-inspiring and hotly contested local dish, was excellent here, one of my favorites of many I have had in the city. It is thick with sausage and turkey, but not thickened with too much rice or big chunks of okra, just perfectly balanced with the generously right amount of everything."

"Best Places to Find Gumbo in New Orleans: Parkway Bakery and Tavern - Creative points to this favorite po-boy shop for also serving up a mean gumbo — and with distinctive proteins like turkey and alligator."

Jaimie Ironstone

"There was a bit of a wait as this place was packed at lunch time mid-week so if that gives you any indication of how good it is…. I had the roast beef po boy and a cup of turkey and alligator gumbo. My lord. I have never eaten so good on a trip before. It was the best."

"My favourite gumbos are made in Mid-City: the thick, robust and classically Cajun alligator and andouille version at Parkway Bakery & Tavern, served with hunks of Leidenheimer’s French bread."
