After reading Bud Kennedy's article, we went to Gogo's the same day. What a culinary treasure it is that is hidden in Boyd! The food was definitely gourmet--everything made from scratch and with fresh ingredients. The "TV Dinner" is my choice, because one gets to sample 4 different dishes, all of which were excellent. The crab cake was the best I have eaten anywhere, at any price. The young man who assisted us was very helpful and knowledgeable. This place, which is only open evenings, is definitely worth a road trip from the DFW area!!

Cute nautilus decor. Our server was "on the ball." We were pleasantly surprised by the quality ingredients and excellent flavor in the little town of Boyd. Everything on the menu sounded great - from appetizers to desserts. Plenty of food for the price, too. My husband and I can't wait to go back to try a different dish....and then on the walk out the door we read more about the chef/owner - welcome to Wise County!

The desserts are all wonderful but the best dish in the place is the Shrimp and Grits. Don't let the title fool you - it is the best shrimp dish you will ever eat. Also start with the Seafood Hush Puppies. Don't forget to take you a bottle of wine and sit and enjoy. It is worth the trip!!!!

I went to Gogo Gumbo about a month ago with my family, and its still on my mind. I got the TV Dinner(like Tish from the first post), it was awesome! I liked everything on my plate. But my favorite was the shrimp and grits. I also loved the salad, it didnt have much dressing but that was O.K. because it was great too.

using google maps, and just entering Boyd, Tx. and Houston, Tx. It shows 4 hrs. and 41 mins. 298 miles.. that should be fairly close. |

Ate their last night and it was amazing. If you want cajun cuisine, this is definitely the place to be!!!!
