Voodoo Gumbo

Wow! Attentive staff, delicious and fresh food, & cozy atmosphere. I will happily drive all the way from Clarksville to have the Poboy and Gumbo again.

Absolutely one of the BEST Cajun restaurants we have eaten at in the State. My wife who is from New Orleans said it reminds her of home. We highly recommend you eat here if you love good Cajun food.

I stumbled across this place from a google search. I was in the area & super hungry and wanted something delicious to eat. The food here is amazing & seasoned well. The fried catfish is just right. I had the creole jambalaya as well. I enjoyed it, just wish it was spicier but that’s a personal preference. I can’t wait to visit again to try more items. All of the staff was kind as well & took great care of us.

It's clear why Voodoo Gumbo has the highest rated Cajun food in Nashville. This is as close as you can get to New Orleans anywhere in Music City, and it's about time I made it out to Bellevue for this experience. With nondescript lettering at the western end of an ordinary strip mall, it doesn't look like much from the outside. But enter this haven of Creole classics and be amazed. They even give small samples of their gumbo, something unheard of in most restaurants! After a sample, I started with the fried oysters. They're now among my favorite appetizers in Nashville, and that's saying something for such an extensive food scene! They're crispy, tender, and quite remarkable! I had the Catfish Atchafalaya as an entree, a dish that's incredibly hearty and flavorfully satisfying! The catfish stays perfectly crispy and it's probably my new favorite catfish in the city. That's surrounded by a gloriously rich étouffée with shrimp, and ample crawfish so fresh you'd think it was lobster! It's like Voodoo's answer to a lobster bisque! And this is an incredible way to sample the masterful cuisine at Voodoo Gumbo. But I'll need to return for the po' boys and the beignets!

Voodoo Gumbo delivered a very nice surprise. The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center and was not at all what I would have expected. Service was quick and amazing and the food was equally as good. I ordered the gumbo (feel like it was required given the name) and wow what an amazing meal. It was hot and filling (as it should be) and was cooked to perfection. I closed the meal out with a couple of beignets which were a nice finish. A definite recommendation and would love to go back when I am in the area.

This restaurant is amazing! I had the shrimp platter and it was delicious! Everyone was very nice. Our waiter Elektra, was sweet and the co-owner, Herb is the best! He was consistently checking in on us and being hospitable. I would definitely come back again. They treated us like family and the food was good. What more can you ask for?
