The Jambalaya Shoppe Zachary

After all these years, I finally decided to try this place today, and I realized I wasn't missing much. Having read other reviews from years past, I noticed that the same compliments are still being echoed today. It's disappointing that the owner and management haven't made any improvements. Walking in, I was struck by the lack of customers, and it didn't take long to see why. While most of the food was edible—except for the gumbo, which I had to throw away—the customer service left a lot to be desired, even when my husband and I made an effort to engage with the staff. Trust me, there are better dining options in Zachary!

The restaurant really needs to improve its customer service and the portion sizes. When a customer places a to-go order and allows for two or more hours of preparation time, it’s disappointing to be informed that they are out of the item and won’t be making any more for the day. This happened at 3:00 in the afternoon when I had planned to pick it up at 6:00. It’s likely that I won’t return to this establishment again.

The food was incredible! It was so delicious that I decided to order takeout for dinner. The woman who helped me was very friendly, so I ended up calling the next day to place an order for my workplace's Christmas party.

Moved here from NY. Heard of Jambalaya and wanted to try it. Went in and tried the Pastalaya instead, it was awesome. Nice little spice to it, the sausage and chicken was just right. We now have one more place to eat!

Moved away from the area and during a recent visit craved Jambalaya Shope's meal. Never had the Gumbo before but ordered the Combo 2 with Jambalaya, Gumbo amd rice and 2 sides (white beans and potato salad) and a roll. Ate half and was completely full.Jambalaya was as delicious as I remember but the surprise was the Gumbo. Awesome. May have to go back again before we depart.Pick up service was fast and easy.
