About Us:

Filé Gumbo Bar is inspired by the iconic ingredient used to thicken and flavor our gumbo. Filé, pronounced fee-lay, means thread or string in French, referring to the dried and ground leaves of the North American sassafras tree.

The centerpiece of our menu is Tiny’s Gumbo, inspired by the owner’s grandfather, Aubrey “Tiny” Gaines. Tiny had a larger-than-life presence and believed there was nothing better than shellfish and spice.

While Gumbo is our signature dish, dining at Filé offers an educational experience about the culinary subtleties of Cajun and Creole food, which are as independent as they are intertwined within a rich culinary history.
