Maxine's Gumbo House

On the road from Austin to Houston, you'll find this little gem in Elfin. Holy mother, delicious. Cajun food done correctly. The gumbo is so full of flavor. Waitress accidentally brought us an extra (there was no charge). I happily took it home for dinner. Wonderful little place. Great service. And the food.... Soooo good!

Went in 7pm one night after work & took the family. Long story short. Great food. Service was good too! We found our new seafood spot.

Incredible food, we had the sea food combo and the sea food platter. The sausage and chicken jambalaya is the best, and the Cajun cream corn absolutely blew my mind. Will definitely order from here regularly.

My wife and I visited on 11/30. Based on all the other reviews it appears this place may have had a rough start after opening. We came on a Friday evening and it was a little crowded, but we were promptly greeted with a smile. The service was great and they were very attentive to us despite being busy. We tried the boudin balls which were delicious. I got the bayou pasta and my wife tried the seafood platter. We were both very happy with how fast it came out and how great it tasted. We did have a small problem with the gumbo, but it was quickly addressed and corrected. We will absolutely be back. We’re glad they’re here and hope they’re here to stay.
