IntheKnowHouston Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 1040 W Cavalcade St was home to Hoke Poke, a poke restaurant from the operators of Wokker. In recent years, LaMacro and Mam's Snoballs operated here. Coming soon to 1040 W Calvacade is Supreme Gumbo. Supreme Gumbo serves Louisiana Creole and Southern fare. There are also Creole and Mexican fusion menu items like gumbo quesadillas. Supreme Gumbo gained a following in the First Ward several years ago, operating out of a gas station. A few years later, Supreme Gumbo launched a food truck. Calvacade will their first brick-and-mortar location. The restaurant announced their plans last evening on Facebook: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the other day, I was reminiscing of the days before everything blew up in the Heights and remembered getting ice snoballs from the truck on 20th and Rutland and could not remember the name. I miss Mam's Snoballs and getting the tomato and goat cheese sandwich at Crickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I saw they painted the dried up palm leaf roof black 😑 Like just rebuild the damn thing. It's just plain ugly and tacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never as good as when it was still in the trailer at 20th and Rutland. My signpost for "before everything blew up in the Heights" is when Kaldi Cafe was still in operation on 19th. Those who are only familiar with 19th as it currently is might have trouble believing how sleepy it was back in the 90s. Hopefully the new gumbo place will do well. I don't think there's been a single restaurant that has managed to succeed at that location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will see your Kaldi Cafe and raise you a Beer Island. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping someone with a bit more experience and polish can get this land and do something of value with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveferris Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 It’s probably a “bummer” for the proprietors. Compassion takes strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Went there during their soft opening and thought it was pretty good. Not sure what happened but they never seemed to have much of a crowd there. They were friendly folks, hopefully they can leverage the lessons learned from this location into a new venture.

j_cuevas713 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 The food may have been good but the design concept was terrible. Anytime someone decides to paint a palm leaf roof, it's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention painting the thing black of all colors. The space just didn't seem inviting nor eye catching. I use to live down the street at Residence at the Heights. This part of town still has a ways to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Food was good. They made a bit of a splash on the internet with their gumbo tacos. Dining area inside was tiny. Eating outside was just fine, but when you drive by you can't tell sometimes whether it is open or what is going on. I think they would have done much better if they built out a better space on that lot and had a bar. Seems like they had decent crowds when they had mudbugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbg.50 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I’d love to try their gumbo if they have a food truck. Or any other recommendations for chicken and sausage gumbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapo2367 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 On Facebook people were giving feedback to the owners (they posted about their closure in the heights foodies group). Everyone agreed the food was super good and very creative, but they had strange hours (often closing the location if they were doing a pop up somewhere), and it was just too dang hot to eat gumbo outside for most of the year. Sounds like they intend to reopen somewhere else but it wasn't final yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterp Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Appears to be some sort of restaraunt/establishment going in here. Pretty major changes, including the tearing down of the covered patio, and a liquor license application in the window. Haven't had the chance to read what liquor license sign says is going in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
