    Grilled Tilapia w/ Topping 1
    Lynn D.

    These 1-2 star reviews are ALWAYS complaining about the prices (but you're willing to go to Pappadeaux to pay 2x's the price of this place - make it make sense sweetie). If you're broke, just say that! The food proportions are large and filling. All my food, even my veggies, was seasoned well and tender. To my surprise, the fish didn't have that "fishy" taste. I don't know how they do it, but each bite feels like I'm back in Louisiana - and that's exactly what I'm paying for. NOTE: I have noticed from other reviewers that they have odd hours and may close whenever, so call ahead to see if they're open! Support this small, local business by paying in cash (plus they'll DISCOUNT 15% off your order for it too)!

    Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Sarah W.

    This chicken sandwich is so good! The chicken is tender and juicy and perfectly cooked. Also it's a huge sandwich! Will get again. Only downside is it's pretty messy bc of all the juice and it fell apart really easily but that's fine because you can just use a fork to eat the buts that fall out. The bun also tasted fresh!

    Blackened Salmon with Dirty Rice
    Ashley A.

    I went here yesterday and the food is always good and fresh. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I got the shrimp And crawfish butter sauce on top of mine and that was great too. It came with bread and steamed veggies. I always look forward to this place and will be back. I also love the fact you get a discount on food for paying with cash. No restaurants do this.

    I stopped in for lunch. It wasn't too busy and I'm assuming because it's a Friday. I placed my order for a chicken and fish plate, I opted for a side of red beans ($2 extra)instead of fries or dirty rice. After receiving my number I waited in the seating area. Food came out 15 min later and it was made to order. I will say I was surprised when I received a full plate of red beans as a side which made me happy (I had to add seasoning at home). After opening the container with my entree I had 1 big piece of fish and chicken tenders, I was expecting chicken on the bone. Overall the food was decent for $15.

    The Titanic (seafood fondue) with a side of fries. Dip this fries in the fondue like it's ketchup. Try it. You're welcome.

    This is my favorite spot in Houston. It's like going to Pappadeaux for a fraction of the price. My favorites are the Titanic (seafood fondue) and the fried shrimp. I usually order a baked potato with a side topping --that's a full meal as well! Deliciousness no matter what you order. It's a casual environment with huge flavors.

    Etouffee Combo
    Michelle L.

    Must stop spot every time we go to Houston! I always get the Ètouffée combo with dirty rice but this last visit I got the Bayou combo that comes with the sauce and cornbread! Loved it! So full of flavor! We always forget to bring cash for that 15% off the bill.

    Bayou Special

    Can not express how much me and my better half LOVE and appreciate this food here! Always hot, tasty and On Time service. The prices are much more reasonable for the serving they provide, compared to other places. Such a good variety on the menu as well.

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally. Looking forward to celebrating my birthday here in June!

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch.

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

YEAH, they understood the assignment. The gumbo is finger‑licking good -- argue with somebody else about it. I get the seafood version minus the sausage, and I clear that bowl every time. The Chargrilled Rockefeller? That's the one you call your mama about. Big, flavorful, perfect. And the deviled eggs... listen. I don't even like deviled eggs, but these? My mouth is literally watering thinking about them. Smooth, creamy yolk, perfectly seasoned shrimp on top -- a combo I didn't know I needed. The crab cakes? Chef's kiss. Packed with fresh crab, and that aioli is doing exactly what it needs to do. The only miss for me was the crab and asparagus -- it just wasn't giving. No flavor, no cohesion... just no. The crème brûlée is delicious, but I'm still wishing they made beignets. Now the drinks? Top 2 and not number 2, do you hear me? The Mexican Martini and the Texas Blueberry Martini -- TEA. (Yes, the little tea‑finger gesture is happening.) And the staff? Amazing. I actually found out I was laid off while I was sitting at happy hour, and the way they comforted me... You would've thought they'd known me for years. They turned one of my hardest moments into something warm and memorable. I'll never forget that. Rouxpour has my whole heart.
