Weeziana Gumbo & More

Closed. Don’t waste your time.

Twice in my life I have had to make vocal sounds with every single bite of food and THIS place had me doing that because the food was JUST THAT INCREDIBLE!!! I had the fried catfish and WOW! I haven’t had food like this since I moved from New Orleans. If I lived closer I’d be there way too much for my jeans to fit but it would be worth it. If you want great food, you will find it here.
And now I’m going to cut this review short… so I can get in my car and drive to Weeziana’s!

I had the shrimp po’boy. It was pretty good, I would like to try the catfish one the next time I eat here. It’s a nice size portion and all of my colleagues enjoyed their lunches as well (swamp fritters, shrimp étouffée, and fried shrimp). They have really good sauces for the po’boy as well. I love the variety of the menu and the prices.

Stopped by here on the way home from work as I was feeling a little Southern cookin’ and I wasn’t disappointed when I got home.
Something to consider if you’re looking for a place to go out to eat at. It’s in a Food Court setting and the AC unit for the whole place was down so it being summer in Vegas it was HOT! Thank goodness I lived nearby and wasn’t planning on staying to eat.
Regardless, should I have the cravin’ for some Cajun I’ll be coming back

I have had Gumbo from so many prople but this Gumbo was by far exceptionally good… I have given it a shout out on Facebook and hope people will vis I t. When I called back to give kudos to Chef John I had the pleasure of speaking to the owner who gave me the history of the Gumbo. Thank you so much.

Had a very satisfying meal! The owner, Espy puts a lot of passion and love in the food. Everything is made to order so there’s a bit of a wait. Had the seafood gumbo, fried catfish, fried okra, sweet potato pie and a touch of their bread pudding of the day, banana. Her hot sauce is delicious and the fried okra and fried fish were really great. Very generous with the seafood in the gumbo and the sweet potato pie was a great finish! Staff was attentive and thoughtful. All very affordable!

Just finished eating here and my oh my! I only have nothing but good reviews for them. I’m from CA and moved to Vegas 3 years ago and always look for the best southern food.
Usually, any restaurant we go to for southern food, it can be pricey. This place has the best priced food and the quality is great! Words cannot really explain how amazing the food is because you have to try it yourself! The service is amazing as well and they are all very nice.
This is my new go to southern food spot for sure! Thank goodness I over tipped them a little bit before I even recieved my food. They are so very welcoming! I have already referred my friends to try out this hidden little gem. I know they will not be disappointed.

Great food and great folks!
We really enjoyed ourselves at Weeziana gumbo and more. My wife had the Shrimp Po-​Boy that was overflowing with shrimp and sprinkled with their Weezisauce. The sauce is sorta like a removable but spicier and better.
I had the fish basket (sole) with fries and Weeziana and a small seafood gumbo with shrimp crab and lobster. This was a good bowl of gumbo with a nice dark roux.
It was our first time their and everyone behind the counter treated us like family. (No, the good way)
The meal for both of us was just under $ 25. BONUS!
The only thing that they need is a bigger sign so you can find them. They are in a food court next to a car wash.
I highly recommend this place.

First time here and customer is an A+. Lady was very nice to serve us. It’s located inside Internet café food court. It’s my first time trying soul food and I would love to come back for more for the catfish, it’s too die for. Also their sweet tea is real good !!!

I have driven past this place many times and never thought there was any business in the building until recently. The building itself is nothing to look at however when you walk inside you will see that there are several places to eat at. It looks like a food court just like the sign says.
We ordered the seafood gumbo and the seafood platter (catfish, shrimp, crab and hush puppies) from Weeziana Gumbo & More. It was delicious especially with the Weezi Sauce. We will definitely be back to try the other food they have.

It was all hype! As with most African American owned restaurants overpriced and short on substance. The fried okra had great flavor but was undercooked and left it greasy. The fries were horrible soggy and greasy! The fish had good seasoning but was very chewy almost like fish jerky! And the Seafood Gumbo was good but I’m still searching for some seafood! PLEASE GIVE YOUR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR! I will be trying your competitor Mamas Boy Café next time. I’m a native Las Vegan looking for consistency in southern cuisine.

Preface: my mother is from Louisiana and I spent much time all over the state growing up and later as an adult. I LOVE and actively seek out Cajun cuisine where ever I go.
I visited this establishment while in the area for business. I looked up some reviews and decided to give it a try.
I ordered catfish and red beans w rice. The fish looked great but was very tough and chewy. Had a good taste but weird texture.
I did not care for the red beans as they were watery and had little spice.
I may come again to try the gumbo but not anytime soon.

#1: Never, EVER put mustard on a poboy. That let’s me know that you DON’T know the real deal.
#2: Can these cats keep anything in stock before noon? They run out of EVERYTHING.
For these 2 reasons, I haven’t been back in ages.

Holy shit, you guys. This place is the real deal.
I usually don’t use profanity, but this gumbo? Polite words don’t cover how amazing it is.
I took my BF on a foodie roadtrip to Louisiana last summer– the food is amazing, seafood and gumbo and boudin and crawfish, oh my! It’s all phenomenal. But when we moved so far away, I gave up hope of having cajun food that good any time soon– but this place came up with a near-​perfect score on the Unilocal app, and I came within a week of moving to Vegas. From the outside, it’s unimpressive and a bit odd– but don’t let that stop you. You’re here for FOOD, not ambiance.
All I can say is, this gumbo is damn amazing. I ordered a large seafood gumbo to go, got home, and have barely made a dent in the order and am blown away. The portion is huge, and it’s chock full of okra, sausage, shrimp, crawfish, and crab– I’m pretty sure there’s an ENTIRE crab in my container. I’ve counted two legs so far, and I’m only halfway through the entire order… Which probably isn’t meant for one person, but they’ll have to fight me for more than just a taste of this stuff!
On top of the amazing food is amazing service– I believe I was helped by the owner herself, who made a minor mistake running my card manually, and then went above and beyond to fix the issue. Totally unnecessary, but thoroughly appreciated!
Stellar food, spectacular service. Gonna be coming here pretty regularly– gonna have to grab some sweet potato pie next time! Maybe I’ll make Sundays my unofficial Louisiana appreciation days– they’re open noon to 4PM!

5 STARS***** for the GUMBO! DELICIOUS!!!
3.5 STARS for the Fried Catfish & fries. It was good but I’ve had better. The portion was a little small for big appetites but I was satisfied. No leftovers though.
I’ll definitely be back.

We were greeted by the owner who was very nice and answered our questions. She was surprised that a pair of non locals had heard of this restaurant located in a fast food court. We each ordered a small cup of the Classic Creole Seafood Gumbo that is served in a styrofoam cup along with a spoon of rice. It included a few skinny snow crab legs that were not worth the bother plus chicken on the bone, sausage, fresh okra, shrimp, tomatoes and more. This proved to be the best tasting gumbo we have ever including while on visits to NOLA and Biloxi.
Our visit would have been incomplete if we had skipped the Slap Yo Mama bread pudding. Ann prefers a more custard-​like bread pudding, so I was «forced» to eat a little more than her.

It been long overdue trip back for some Weeziana Gumbo since CMYE months ago. I was in the mood for some gumbo and some slap yo mama bread pudding. Two things that really stood out for me and wanting too come back for more. Some reason maybe cause I order the chicken gumbo rather then the seafood gumbo. It feel short of my last experience. I thought it was bit on the salty side. I should have order regular size instead of large. Not that you can never get enough of A good thing in life. I felt with the large between the gumbo and the rice plus everything is so condense or packed in. No way you can enjoy best of both worlds. Or just could have been bitter that should have ordered seafood gumbo.
Still its good gumbo especially the seafood and even though not fan of the chicken nothing skimpy comes too the andouille sausage, chicken, and get your money worth of gumbo. Not just gumbo everything on the menu is nice size portion! I also ordered the pound cake since there famous slap yo mama bread pudding was sold out. I was surprise not just fact that nice full piece not thin slice piece. It so moist and delicious! All the desserts here are made fresh daily just like the rest of the menu. I am fan of Brain desserts at Wing Kings. Between both restaurants amazing bakery of cakes or pies that puts chain restaurants desserts too shame.
The staff or this night just the cook great guy, friendly, and talking stories about famous slap yo mama bread pudding dessert. It crazy too think that people call in on the phone everyday asking about it. They place order over the phone non left for non phone orders. If ever get chance that one dessert that AMAZING.

I had the good fortune to try some of Weeziana’s gumbo when I was at Campus Commons for our CMYE Reverse Spring Break. At that time, I got a container of chicken gumbo to take home (my wife won’t do seafood).
Yesterday, in a funk about what to do for dinner, I thought it was time to go back to the Commons and get some more gumbo. I got a container of chicken (for my wife) and a container of seafood gumbo (for me).
Their gumbo has a rich flavor with just enough of a spice to give it some good taste. I don’t use hot sauce with their gumbo because I want to taste the great gumbo flavor. The seafood gumbo had a fair amount of seafood and it was a great meal that I brought home.
This is now a fast food place to go when I want something different and tasty. Service was excellent! I am a fan!

After our hike at Potato Knoll, we stopped by this Charleston Campus Commons to try out some food. It’s rare that we are on this side of town, so we just had to maximize the trip. We were sold immediately on the seafood gumbo after hearing the ingredients that go into a bowl of gumbo.
OMG, I haven’t tasted such delicious meaty gumbo for quite some time. The flavor was bold, there were shrimps, crab meat, crawfish meat, drumstick, sausages… um um um… definitely took me back to Louisiana.
This bowl of gumbo is as good as it gets. There is no competition, Weeziana Gumbo & More is the place for some delicious, decent-​priced cajun food.

Walking into the Charleston Campus Commons food court you would not believe me if I told you that there was lobster served there but it’s true … and it is found in Weeziana’s gumbo along with shrimp, craw fish, crab, sausage… So delicious and affordable! I went there last night for a CMYE and was fortunate enough to sample some delicious food items on their menu. In addition to the gumbo I also had deep fried corn on the cob. what??? haha yes what a unique spin on a classic favorite! The deep fried catfish with Weeziana sauce was also delicious and had that same sweet breading as the the corn on the cob. For dessert we had their famous «Slap Yo Mama» bread pudding. OMG I suggest asking for a corner piece which gives a nice bite to it. Everything on the menu comes from the owner’s family cook book and some recipes are super top secret so you know that it has got to be good.
My favorite thing about ‘Weeziana Gumbo & More’ was the wonderful service from the owner, Espy! Such a genuinely sweet SWEET woman. Make sure to stop by to try her yummy food and don’t forget to say hi to Espy and ask her about Lil Wayne ;]]]
HOT TIP: You can preorder your bread pudding and buy them in batches. They also don’t just come in peach/​pecan but in many delicious flavors!
