A big thank you to and writer for including Gumbo Social in a fantastic lineup of SF restaurants. We appreciate the support and the love for Bayview’s food scene.

"Most go for the chicken and sausage gumbo, and while you can’t go wrong with it, just know there’s a devoted following for the restaurant’s smoked turkey version."

Couldn’t have said it better.
Huge gratitude to everyone who keeps coming back for their favorite bowl.

Thank you to San Francisco Examiner and James Salazar for covering National Gumbo Week 2025 and shining a light on the incredible chefs, businesses, and neighbors who make Bayview’s food scene what it is.

“Historically, it’s been difficult to get business owners to collaborate with each other but our corridor is seeing the benefit of food and beverage businesses working together to build the culinary scene in Bayview.” — Chef Dontaye Ball

That’s what National Gumbo Week is all about. Thank you to every chef, business owner, and neighbor who made this week possible. The pot keeps bubbling, and the work continues.

💬 Big thanks to Jason V. for stopping by during Fall SF Restaurant Week and leaving such a thoughtful review.

“This place was great. We stopped in for restaurant week and got half gumbo, half po’boy combos… The crunchy fish with their homemade remoulade was tasty… My partner loved the jackfruit po’boy and vegan gumbo.”

Nothing makes us happier than seeing folks enjoy the food. And yes, Cajun fries are always a good call. 😉
