Simple concept. Complex flavors.

J. Gumbo’s founder Billy Fox, Jr. has developed a winning formula of stores for serving up great-tasting Cajun and Creole cuisine at low prices and lightning speed.

Our concept

What sets J. Gumbo’s apart from other restaurant franchises?
It’s simple.

We’ve created a concept that is easy to implement in all kinds of spaces. And with minimal equipment requirements, we’ve reduced both the complexity of the kitchen and the labor required to run it.

Minimal kitchen, lower buy-in

Most equipment packages can be obtained for minimal cost.

That’s it. Sounds simple. And it is.

What makes our concept special?

  • Great food. We serve simple yet unforgettable cuisine that appeals to a broad range of palates.

  • Simplicity. The concept requires minimal training, staff, and only limited cooking skills.

  • Affordable. J. Gumbo’s is one of the lowest total investments in the fast-casual restaurant category. Area Development Agreements are available.

  • Support. We provide our Partners with the marketing tools, training, and resources they need to bring diners to the door … and keep them coming back!

  • Consistency. Diners can expect the same great-tasting food and fast service at every J. Gumbo’s restaurant.

The perfect place for your space.

One of the strengths of the J. Gumbo’s concept is that our stores can fit in all kinds of spaces. With our compact footprint and minimal kitchen requirements, you can set up a J. Gumbo’s dine-in restaurant in a space as small as 1,000 square feet and in even smaller spaces at food courts and other carry-out venues.
We’re big proponents of adaptive reuse: converting unique or historic buildings for a new life as a J. Gumbo’s restaurant.

  • J. Gumbo’s is an ideal choice for a variety of locations, including:

  • College campuses

  • Downtown

  • Strip centers

  • Mall/Airport food courts

  • Entertainment complexes

  • Stand-alone restaurants

Works at their space, too.

When it comes to catering, our concept is about as easy it gets. We have the tools and resources to help our partners serve our product to groups of all sizes.

Authenticity Counts

J. Gumbo’s is the real deal. Our big bowl entrees are based on recipes our founder Billy Fox, Jr. learned in his grandmother’s kitchen in his native Louisiana.
The fresh, bold flavors of the Bayou State imbue every one of our dishes — from our Jambalaya to our cheesy Etouffee, our Red Beans & Rice to our spicy hot VooDoo Chicken.

We do more than serve up the great flavors of Louisiana — we serve them up in style! J. Gumbo’s is famous for heapin’ portions and value prices — two key ingredients for winning customers over and driving repeat visits.
Awesome food. Huge servings. Low prices. And a simple concept. Sounds like the recipe for a great restaurant partnership.
