Angeline D.

Always want to start by saying thanks to the Rouxpour staff, Jando, and the rest of the Yelp staff for putting this night together. It's always tough to host an event while the restaurant is still operating for its regular patrons. With that being said, it was just a little chaotic with all the Yelpers being placed on one side of the bar, standing room only at small cocktail tables. There were regular patrons seated at the bar and I felt bad for them being bombarded by us. We were each given a drink ticket to redeem so people started lining up at the bar. However, a server came over to me and took my drink order instead. She was pleasant and gave me recommendations, however when she came back with my drink, it wasn't even the drink I ordered. There was just a lot of confusion I can see - some servers were taking tickets for the drink orders while some were not; some people could only order certain drinks while others were able to order whatever they wanted; servers being lost with who ordered what drinks. The food would come out, but you would either wait for the servers to come to your table or you'd have to insert yourself and grab a sample before it's all gone. Didn't know how many different types of food we were going to sample, but stuck around until pretty much the end. I'd probably say my favorites were the oysters and the fondue. I've never eaten at the Rouxpour before so this was a great sampling of what they have. Overall, it was nice to see people I haven't seen in awhile and also nice to meet new people. Food was pleasant, but the atmosphere was a little chaotic. It was also hard for me to hear when the speeches were being given. But thank you again, Rouxpour and Yelp!

What a great time last night. This was my first time at a Rouxpour and I was excited to come because I love me some good ole Cajun food. We came a few minutes early and it was nice that we could immediately proceed inside without having to wait in line outdoors until the start time. Upon entering, we were given a drink ticket and raffle ticket. It was also great to see Farrah again! With my drink ticket, I got the manmosa, which was their twist on a mimosa. It was served in a cute plastic champagne flute. I also got their Mexican martini, which is basically a margarita with a splash of orange juice, served in a martini glass. Both were really good! The Rouxpour has their cocktail game down, and Gabby behind the bar took great care of us. For food, I was able to sample the crab cake ball and the seafood gumbo. I'm not a huge fan of crab cakes, though I still wanted to try it. It was a nice bite-size that was fried to a crisp on the outside. I'm sure crab lovers would enjoy this one because it had a strong crab flavor! The gumbo was also delicious and contained sausage, shrimp, and rice. It came out hot but ready to eat in a small plastic cup. Thanks to Jando, the Yelp Houston team, and the Rouxpour Katy for having us last night! It was great seeing Yelp friends and making new ones as always. I enjoyed everything and look forward to trying more offerings as well as their other locations.

This was a great event setup by Jando & Farrah. Rouxpour is located in La Centerra. I have visited this location before but never for a Yelp event. Parking was in the garage unless you were lucky enough to get a spot close to the restaurant. We had many different appetizers that we were able to sample which the best was the gumbo and the char grill oysters. We also had an opportunity to try some Boudin balls and crab bites. They were also very good and a ranch water drink. There were many yelpers there some that I had met before and some new ones and everyone seemed to enjoy the event. The oysters were my favorite. They have over five different types that they serve. I had to buy a half dozen myself just to try them out . This was a fairly large event for the number of Yelp that were there usually not that many but some that have never been here before. I'm sure they will be back.

Okay this one was really fun...and close to home so even better!! They served us a wide-array of options from signature chargrilled oysters, crab cake, Cajun sausage deviled eggs, fondue, seafood gumbo, boudin balls, and possibly more??? I love Yelp Elite Events at restaurants that I've already been to, as it gives me the opportunity to sample items that I normally wouldn't order myself. Like okay, those boudin balls and deviled eggs popped out of nowhere with the flavor! Also, the wait staff was so sweet and accommodating! Thank you Jando for putting this together!

Only for Yelp will I drive 45 minutes! this drive was well-worth it. What a fun Thursday night spent with (new and old) friends, food, music, and drinks! It was my first time in this area and I didn't realize how big this plaza was. Literally all of the places you can think of in one area. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks! I had a gin drink myself - light and refreshing as I like them. I saw someone with an espresso martini which I envied. Apps were flowing throughout the night, but my favorites were the crab cake and deviled eggs! Yum yum. Thanks Jando, Yelp Houston, and Rouxpour team! Appre

Thanks for Jando and Team for another great event. I've heard good things about RouxPour and was delighted to be able to attend this event. Once we checked in, our event was inside thankfully and we had a section of high top tables that were reserved. I loved the boudin balls, crab cakes, and the gumbo. The small bites were great. I loved the peppery kick the boudin balls and gumbo had. The oysters were topped with parmesan cheese and it was ok, I prefer fresh. My drinks were refreshing, which was much needed since it was a bit warm with all of the people in attendance. Big props to the wonderful servers and amazing bar staff, they were so gracious, hardworking and busting their butts to accommodate all of our drink orders. I will try to return to try more of their menu.

Superb event! Everything was in abundance and a good time. Met a lovely couple, Lizzie & Joel, with great conversation & good vibes. The pianist was also the perfect touch to the night-- thoroughly enjoyed the songs he played. Our waitress, Adrianna was on point! Whenever we didn't seem to have something she was able to assist us in receiving them. Rouxpour Katy was always my favorite location. Very welcoming, attentive, & respectful. Loved everything about this event. Thank you Jando & Farrah!

I love Rouxpour but have never been to the Katy location so I couldn't resist this Yelp Elite Event. The restaurant was in a lively area filled with bar and restaurant chains a-plenty. Bakers St, WOB, Grimaldi's pizza, and Nando's to name a few. There was also a Trader Joe's. Parking Free, garage and non-garage parking. A little congestion with others looking for parking spots or leaving and pedestrians walking around. At any rate, wow, my first YEE in a while, my first one this year actually. Your girl even forgot how to check in. Party Pass? Huh? Oh yeah, it all came back to me. Shout out to Jando for his patience. Once checked in I was good to go. I found the Elite area, said "Hi" to a few friends, chatted for a bit, ordered a Topo Chico when a waitress came around taking orders and then headed to the lady's room which was super close to our Yelp area. Food I can't complain about Rouxpour's food. I love it. I was able to try the crab cake, salmon cake, boudin balls, a few of their delectable oysters, the delicious French bread (it was so soft), Alfredo or Fondue? + salad and lastly their gumbo. I unfortunately didn't get to try either of the deviled eggs ( one had shrimp, another sausage). I never even saw the shrimp one, just heard about it. Ambience/Service/Vibe The event was fun, waitstaff courteous but we were kinda mixed in with non-Yelp diners. I also never saw a menu/list of what we'd be sampling which would've been nice in case you wanted to return and eat something you'd tried. There didn't seem to be much order to how they were bringing out the food so if you saw food coming out it was better to try to grab some over kindly waiting your turn. With the drinks, we were given 2 drink tickets but the waitstaff all seemed to be on different pages. I don't recall anyone ever asking me or anyone near me for a ticket. Some of them asked you if you wanted to open a tab, others advised your drink tickets were only good for one of 2 preselected drinks. Others allowed folks to get whatever they wanted with their tickets. At one point when i returned to my table from using the bathroom, my Yelp pal advised me the waitress had brought us 2 drinks. Neither of the drinks were what we ordered. I had ordered a Topo Chico which another server brought out maybe 15 min later. Event speeches It was very loud inside the restaurant. Rouxpour-Katy as I'd anticipate especially on a Thursday night, seems to be a popular and lively place. I unfortunately couldn't hear a word of what Jando was saying when he got up to give his speech. The sound was very muffled and inaudible. With a little strain, I heard a bit of what the GM said. I recall the GM mentioning that Rouxpour is not a part of Landry's but a restaurant all its own. I guess a lot of folks associate it with the Landry's brand. Entertainment There was a debonair gentleman playing r&b hits on the piano which added a nice flair. Overall, this was a good time and it was great to see Yelp pals I haven't seen in a while as well as make new ones. Thank u mucho to the Rouxpour staff and management, Jando, Farrah, Yelp and my fellow elites for the lovely evening!

"Laissez les bons temps rouler! Or let's say, 'Let the good times and the cocktails, roll!' Huge thank you to Jando, the Yelp Team, and the incredibly friendly crew at The Rouxpour. David, Tyler, Miguel, Adriana, and the rest of the team rolled out the red carpet and treated us like long-lost cousins who finally came back for a visit. The evening kicked off with a drink ticket, because who doesn't love free booze? I chose to have a refreshing manmosa. Later, I followed the crowd and indulged in the Mexican martini--a margarita with Milagro Blanco, splash of orange juice and a Tajín rim so dangerously good, it could have its own fan club. Let's talk appetizers. The crab cakes were like little golden nuggets of joy, and the boudin balls had just the right amount of sass. The spicy gumbo? It didn't just walk in--it strutted in, bursting with flavor. I was pleasantly surprised by the chargrilled Rockefeller oyster (the only way I can handle oysters), and they nailed it! The Cajun deviled eggs, topped with shrimp, took the standard deviled egg and said, 'this is the remix.' And the shrimp & crawfish fondue? Blink, and it was gone. There's nothing quite like good food and great company to make a Thursday enjoyable. The drive is a bit of a trek,l to Katy, but after this experience, brunch at The Rouxpour is on the radar.

It's been a while since I've made it to an event and I'm so glad I could make it to this one ! Not much brings me out to Katy but Rouxpour and Yelp clearly do ! I love a place that has a lot of parking and is spacious ! That being said it became crowded quick (shout out to the elite-ers for such a great turn out!). I met some new friends and was able to join them at a spot by the bar, but I definitely think the elite squad could have used a few more tables in their area. The food was amazing ! While I wasn't personally crazy about the salad and bread, everything else absolutely blew my mind (which was exciting coming from a family with one Cajun parent). All the apps were so flavorful and delicious ! I have to say - the gumbo was my favorite and I'm so glad I was able to stick around for it to come out ! Overall another absolutely amazing event !

Vibes were so high at The Rouxpour on Thursday! I have to be honest, as an inner looper I'm rarely choosing to drive out to Katy for something, but I'm so glad I heard Jando talking about this event at my first event a few weeks ago! I rsvped with the intention of pushing myself outside of my inner loop bubble and it was great :) with this only being my second event, I was of course still a little nervous of how it would go, who I'd talk to, etc., but I have to give a special shoutout to Lupe for welcoming me with a big hello and hug! It made me excited for the friendships I can build through this Yelp community. And another shoutout to Lynn, who I hung out with pretty much the whole night! Okay all my fuzzy feeling aside, the food was so good!! My favorites were the boudin balls as well as both cakes, crab and salmon. I should've been better about taking a couple servings because I definitely could've eaten more. The Rouxpour staff was fantastic, truly so friendly and helpful and clearly love the place they work. One of the bartenders told me it was her first week, and I couldn't believe how well they were keeping up with the chaos! The live music was a wonderful touch and I just overall had a great first (unique) experience at The Rouxpour

Diana L.

Overall the event was fun and I attribute that to the people I got to talk to! The crowd overall was super great and friendly. Quite a few elites were saying hi to everyone and approaching as if we'd known each other, so honestly it was a refreshing experience. All the food was super yummy but definitely the 2 small breaded items that were given first were my favorite. Gumbo was good but I've had better, oysters great but not the best I've had. My drink (if I remember the name correctly was the texas blueberry martini) was decent. The live music was really nice and overall the look of the place is cute. Can get very loud in there though. Negatives would be how towards the last 30-45 minutes more and more people seemed to crowd around the bar/kitchen exit so they could ambush the waiters to take nearly all the food. 2 rounds of shot glass type drinks came out and LOTS of people (shall I guess half?) didn't get them because some grabbed 2nds. Same with the oysters. Honestly I would've been happier to sit outside because at least then everyone would be seated and it'd be a calmer for the waiters so then everyone could get an equal amount of food/drinks. I know it was hot, but with the fans going outside I think it would've been fine. Also what happened to the 2nd drink ticket? We were only given 1 at the door but on the listing here it said 2 drink tickets would be given.

Late to the review party, but just wanted to say what an excellent event this was. It brought me out to a beautiful part of town I've yet to explore, LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch! The Rouxpour was an awesome venue with live jazzy music, a free drink, and numerous samplings off their menu, including lots of seafood items! Always a good time chatting it up with fellow Yelp Elites. There were a lot of people so it got hot inside pretty quick, but super happy that there were hand fans at the tables because I was whipping up myself a mini tornado to cool down!

A spontaneous Tuesday night in Katy. This was a bit out of the way for some of us but a fun night…read more Great hospitality by the Crafted Bar & Tap team. They did their best to accommodate everyone from serving drinks to the food. We tried the pepperoni and magherita pizzas but my favorite was the boudin balls. We were also served the whiskey shank, great flavors. The event was very chill, plenty of seats for everyone. This place isn't too big or too small. Great establishment, looks like they are very dedicated to making this place pop for Katy. Shoutout to the singer for the entertainment. Love her voice and energy throughout the night. We had good time mingling. Thanks to Jando, the Yelp Team, and the team at Crafted Bar & Tap for hosting and organizing.

Tonight was my first time ever trying margarita pizza, and I must say being that I am not a big tomato girl. I'd rather enjoy the margarita pizza better than my go to, & only pick, pepperoni pizza. (Crazy I know. But their margarita pizza is just that good. The tomato slices are super thin, which are enjoyable for people who are like me who don't care about big tomato slices.) I really enjoyed the whiskey shanks, their perfectly cooked pork shanks toss in their signature bourbon bbq, garnished with avocado ranch and crushed Cajun pork rinds. You can request them to be spicy as well. They very meaty, no fat on these shanks baby!!! Boudin balls are always a favorite, being a baby who grew up on the border of Texas and Louisiana! Crafted kitchen and taps did great with this! Happy Hour is offered EVERYDAY FROM 3p-7p!!!

Not even knowing I was going to her establishment. Thy was incredible. She helped me on the popular drink menu between the two choices we had and also something to snack on because I was incredibly hungry after leaving my meeting. I chose the blueberry blush. I had the full sweetness, with no eyes but shaking. Topped off with honey boba and the boba that it came with. **I give the tea a 9/10. It was not overly sweet and the blueberry taste was certainly present but not too powerful. It's definitely a beverage I could see myself drinking daily. My niece actually LOVED it and she's only 10 months. I also had the regular karate chicken. Level 3 spice with basil. The chicken was a solid 10. Point. Blank. Period. It's what you would want from Korean chicken. It was crispy but tender. Spicy, but not unbearable. It also came with sauces if you'd like and I chose the sweet chili. The sweet chili itself was incredibly delicious. But paired with the chicken?? So so yummy. The chicken on its own is a 10 but this sweet chili sauce absolutely elevated it. Then...as I was taking pictures... BOOM! SPLASHHHH...boba went a'flyin' everywhere on the floor. Yay me. I sure know how to stick a landing. Perfect 10! I informed Thy, and without hesitation she came with a broom and a mop. And still had a smaller face. She even offered to make me another one even though the splash was completely my fault. I almost wanted to tear up in gratitude. Truly. I was a bit overwhelmed this morning and that small act of kindness was so appreciated. All in all, I had a wonderful time as I sat there and ate and relax with my baby niece. This place is awesome with wonderful customer experience as well. I will certainly be back! Thank you so much, Jandoooooo and the Yelp Houston team. A much needed and delicious break in the day.

The movie opens to the public on November 7th which made it all the more special that Yelp hooked us up with the opportunity to get a special preview. I've been to several of the YES movie nights before and made sure to read the instructions prior to arrival as sometimes the check in process can be confusing. Knowing that these advance screenings are not exclusive to Yelp, I made sure to arrive well in advance at 6pm only to find a huge line already camped out outside the main entrance. While this was a little intimidating, the line funneled inside fairly quickly to a smooth check in at the table outside of the theater. I'll be the first to admit that I am completely out of the loop on the newest movie releases and movie series and had never even heard of this film. Set far into the future, predator Dek, labeled as the underdog from his clan, sets out to prove himself to his kinsman and seek redemption for his brother's death. Faced with multiple lessons of loyalty and teamwork, Dek finds several companions on his journey which turn him from a solo adventurer to a leader of his own new clan. The film was exciting and kept the audience on their toes. The creatively of the physical appearance of the characters and the qualities of the natural environment were impressive and definitely gave me some ideas for Halloween 2026 costumes. As always, thanks Yelp and Jando, for setting up this event and allowing Yelp Elites to venture into the badlands!

I was so excited to attend this festival. But the excitement faded very quickly once I got there…read more Now I'm a regular at Axelrad so I'm aware of the parking situation. The small free parking lot was full by the time I got there and the street parking was all taken. I was forced to park across the street in the paid lot. The "funny" part about this parking lot is the sign reads $8 parking but when you scan the QR code it's $8 an hour. Once you walk into Axelrad you had to check in at the table outside to get your wrist band and food ticket. Which I don't understand why there was an admission fee for non-yelp people. Axelrad is an open space with people coming and going throughout the day. The event was suppose to start at 3pm. Once I parked and checked in it was just after 3:30 and I was told the food wasn't ready. After about 30 mins we were able to get our "plate" of food. This consisted of 3 small sample cups of Jollof and small samples of other items. All the food items were cold. I asked someone working the event if this was all the food options and I was told additional food could be purchased. I didn't see many people stay long as there wasn't really much to eat or do. I would have been really mad if I had paid to attend this event.

What a beautiful afternoon for a Jollof Festival…read more Grab an orange ticket and get a sample plate. Three cups filled with Jollof rice, plantains, sweet puff puffs and slices of beef. Add some fresh fruits and veggies. My favorite bite was the purple cup. Nice to sit outside enjoying the West African music, the blue sky and the cool breeze on the first day of November. Life is good!!! Try the King of Pops popsicles. Based in Atlanta, they really are the best. I used to get them when I visited my daughter at Emory. Thank you to the Jollof Festival for such a relaxing afternoon. Thanks also to the magician Houston's own CM Jandito who can fix so many things.

First of all - getting to sample all the sides, an entree, and a dessert was so nice because although I have been to several peri peri chicken spots, I typically order the same things so this was a great chance ot get out of my comfort zone. I definitely discovered some new go-to orders. I also appreciated that it came with not one, but TWO drink tickets. Not only that but there were so many drinks to choose from and the bartenders even let me sample drinks before I selected which really made this a 10/10 for me. One of my favorite parts was learning more about the background and history of a famous franchise and even more, what make it's Houston location special! To end a great night we even got goodie bags that came with chargers, additional coupons for future Nando's visit and a cute little tote bag.

This is really a vibrant restaurant as well which makes the food even more enjoyable. Shoutout to Jando for yet again another fabulous event!

Needed a relaxing spa treat. Nice to be gifted a face form massage from Hi, Skin-Rice Village…read more Parked in the garage and then walked to Hi, skin. Thanks to Annalisa for the tips on how to find the location. After a brief intro, Ashley gave me the most relaxing face form massage. I wish that she would have written down what she used. The mangosteen and other botanicals smelled so good. Like a tropical medley. So relaxing. Thank you to Ashley and Hi, skin for a special spa afternoon. Thanks also to the best CM Houston's own Jandito, who really treats our collective community like All-Stars.

It specializes in facials and has many booster packages to enhance the same. As part of the Elite event chose the form face mini treatment which involved exfoliating and gentle massage to tighten the skin and leave a glow. India - the girl who worked on my face was excellent. She answered all my questions, gave useful suggestions on specific needs of my skin , suggested a spf lip balm made inhouse for my really drying lips. The massage definitely made my skin feel smoother and lighter. I did not choose any boosters as I wanted to see if my skin will react to anything considering my LP- an auto immune skin condition. The girl at the counter was extremely knowledgeable on the products they carry and how useful they are too. She gave me a sample matcha mask too. I purchased the lip balm which was 50% off that day. It costed me $10 after discount. Hi skin carries membership. It is pretty useful if you are a regular spa visitor for facials. I give a glowing thanks to Yelp team and Hi Skin for this lovely rejuvenating experience
