Filé Gumbo Bar New York Reviews from The Last Year
File' Gumbo got the vibe & flavor of New Orleans.
I have been looking for a good gumbo, crawfish, fried oysters and the flavor & vibe without having to travel to Bourbon Street in New Orleans, I found it at File' Gumbo.
Gumbo Vibes
Overall Vibe is a solid 4.5! MUST preface this with we have DEEP Creole & Gullah-Geechee running through our blood & veins so...it's REAL personal! Although there didn't seem to be a Host Station, we were greeted warmly, as if we were in deep Creole Country, especially by our Waitperson, Ms. "Singing" Patti Q & the Bartender. Didn't get her name but she was phenomenal with the drinks & hospitality to all of us seated at the Bar. It is a quaint space but they try and accommodate all, including large groups. Again, like your going to and sleeping over at Mee-Maws/Muhdeah's/Granny's or favorite Aunt's house, they will squeeze a table together and "make it" work! Definitely try for Reservations. Now the food...a place named for one of Creole Country's most distinguished dish should be slamming but it fell a little short. It's a good bowl but in getting the Crab and Shrimp Gumbo, at $35 a bowl, I expect more than 3 shrimp and a few shreds of crabmeat. I need a leg or claw to Crack and suck the jus out of...the way one would at Mee-Maws/Muhdeah's and the like! There wasn't a slice of Okra to be found or File offered. Additionally, the Trinity wasn't cooked down. We love al dente but not where you still have to cut it with a knife (the onions and bell peppers.) I was also expecting a deeper Roux and more Seafood flavor. It also would've been nice to be able to substitute the white rice (traditional) with the Dirty rice, even if there was a slight upcharge. The option should be available to those willing to pay. Another accompaniment was Potato Salad that would have been a great option. Yes, when we come to a Gumbo Bar, there is an expectation of serious flavors that are standard. Again, everything was still good. The Salads: Grilled Creole Ceasar was delish, although a bit hard to eat due to it being whole wedges of Romaine left together. Otherwise, VERY GOOD! The Creole Collard Salad with Lardons and Black Eyed Peas was even MORE DELISH, although highly overdressed. The Creole Salad dressing is rich and doesn't need to drown this salad because the Lardons provide an additional amount of luxuriousness. This can only be eaten in small quantities and more greens had to be added later to balance. But this is a DIVINE taste! The Fried Chicken is delish and has a hint of a Hot Honey Nashville type of Cajun brine, seasoning and drizzle. Our party didn't eat pork so they swapped for the Mac & Cheese. Although our personal preference is a Bechemal-less Mac, this was still very good. The Bread Pudding was beautiful in Presentation but lacked flavor throughout. We're used to the custard soaking the entire dish versus only the bottom. Don't mind the crusty French-style bread used, although it did make the top a tad hard and cutting, as it wasn't soaked in custard, nor topped with any sauce. Overall, great place to enjoy the atmosphere and to get your toes wet if it's your 1st time dipping into the world of Gumbo.
Amazing - Authentic
We saw this on CBS Saturday Morning and couldn’t wait. Went and it was BEYOND amazing. The service was incredible and personal. The food was amazing! I’m from New Orleans and I can say it truly is authentic. Chef Eric ships in his bread and ingredients. AMAZING. He took a moment to take a picture and get to know us. Like he had nothing else to do… what an amazing, NYC experience. Highly recommend!
EXCELLENT NEW ORLEANS FOOD IN THE CITY
We have visited this restaurant a few times now, most recently last week. and we can confidently say that this is a lovely, well executed, authentic New Orleans restaurant! The physical space is beautiful and nicely appointed! The food is excellent from the Po' Boy to the Gumbo to the Jambalaya! One has a choice of heat levels so those unable to handle spicy meals, can still enjoy all dishes. The blend of all spices New Orleans is really amazing and transports you to Bourbon Street. The drinks were excellent! I am a pescatarian and so I especially treasure the Green Gumbo and am so glad they thought of those of us who can't enjoy the original recipe. I don't feel like I am missing out at all! They recently added beignets to their dessert menu, so this has been the cherry on top for us in true New Orleans style! They were delicious! Compliments to the chef and the attentive and kind serve staff! This restaurant has become part of our regular rotation now and we look forward their continued success!
Nice friendly restaurant
Beautifully arranged restaurant with a friendly vibe. Our waitress was especially warm and helpful. The root beer is really good. We ordered two gumbo dishes. One was really good, the other less so. It tasted quite bitter.
Random but pleasant surprise
Great food great vibe great music. Knew this was gonna be a great visit as soon as I saw the place coke up on TA. It did not dissapoint
Lunch at File
Decided to go hear for lunch after visiting the Statue of Liberty, and so glad we did. Great spot with a really good vibe, laid back, and great service. Food tasted excellent and ordered the gumbo, Louisiana shrimp and crawfish bread. A must visit if you like Creole style food.
Amazing experience!!
Wanted to try this place after seeing it on CBS Saturday Morning and so glad that we did! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly and smiling hostess. We sat at the bar and were able to watch the chef prepare all the meals. I was in awe at that process! Everyone works so well together and they seemed to really like their job. We shared the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp which comes with French bread. My husband had the Andouille & Shrimp Jambalaya and I had the special which was a Soft Shell Crab served with rice & green beans. Our server, Patti was excellent! Food and service were absolutely awesome! And we were fortunate to be there on a Friday night to hear the jazz trio play. If ever back in NY, we will definitely go again.
Amazing food
The food was just amazing!!! The atmosphere is awesome so is the staff. A must visit in New York. Ordered chargrilled oysters for an appetizer. Better than the ones I had in New Orleans by far. Main: Tiny's Gumbo and Crawfish Etouffee -highly recommend it 😋
Legit Cajun
Legit Cajun. Was wandering by and decided to give it a chance. The gumbo was good, drinks were good, but the collard green salad with beans and pecans was LEGIT. I’ve spent a reasonable amount of time in NOLA and I’d say this is good as you’ll get up north and without making the trip to the crescent city.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
