Who Got the Gumbo!?

I love the duck gumbo with potatoes (instead of rice) a V Seagrove. It had a wonderful dark roux, and it has been cooking long enough to have a rich depth of flavor.

Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach was Sandestin Gumbo Festival winner 2013!

That sounds divine!

Shorty's is quite good and so is Pompano Joe's and Stinky's! Will have to try Marigny. Does Messina's have gumbo?

Stinky's!!!

Stinky's hand's down is the BEST!!

Anyone been to Messina's yet?

Yes, I went to Messina's with a friend for brunch last Sunday. I ordered the 7 layer breakfast lasagna and he ordered the vegetarian egg's benedict. We both thought what we had was fabulous! I want to go back to try the bar-b-que shrimp which I still remember as some of the best shrimp I have ever eaten. I tried them in NOLA. My only complaint with them is that they are not open for lunch.

They will be open for lunch in March last I heard.

For the price the gumbo at 98 BBQ is the best around. Call before you go. They don't have it everyday.

I would like to pick up to go - who sells by quart beside 98BBQ?

Two Grayton spots serving up some great seafood gumbo:

The Red Bar
Shorty's Surfside

I had JC Seafood gumbo last week and it is very good.

Gumbo Fest at Baytowne isn't happening until February (one of our favorite local events) but Emeril posted on facebook today that National Gumbo Day is OCT 12...

Emeril's link to some of his gumbo recipes!

But, seriously, where do you go for a good bowl of Gumbo in South Walton or anywhere along the Gulf coast? We've had some discussion on this thread but I would love to hear more about seriously GREAT gumbo around here! We have our favorites but need to hear from SoWal readers for The Great SoWal Gumbo LIST we're compiling for home page publication. Tis the season for good gumbo!

We really like the gumbo at V.

I won't name the restaurant that many people think has great gumbo, but to us, their gumbo as well as all of the food there, tastes like bay leaves that are too old.

OK, BR... I can believe V Seagrove has GREAT gumbo! I've not had it's on my list now.

Unfortunately you need to go to Destin for some great gumbo ! The best is Dewey's Destin at the foot of Destin bridge or boathouse

Mitchell's at Grand Blvd has our favorite.

Thanks y'all. keep 'em coming...

Grayton Bar and Grill's Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo is outstanding.

I get mine from an awesome private club, no restaurant there.

Are they still open?

Just had Local Catch and enjoyed it very much.

At last year's Sandestin Gumbo Festival I LOVED Marlin Grill's duck gumbo! They placed third in the five years and younger participant category.

I always get the fried grouper sandwich so I've never tried the gumbo at Seagrove Village Market Cafe! Just saw the post today on fb... there are several items I want to try at the cafe'!!!

Warm up with a bowl of our famous gumbo, full of shrimp, chicken, and Andouille sausage!
