great food, great service, casual atmosphere. Half and half fried crawfish tails and etouffee best ever

What an awesome surprise this place was. Was east of here, near Beaumont, and our small group was debating where to eat lunch. We were heading back toward Houston, this place was on the way, and someone had HEARD that it was good. Good Cajun? Let's give er a try. Red beans n rice were awesome. My fish with crawfish eteouffe was MMMMM. Onion rings were killer. Sweet potato fries were okay - only thing I would order again. Service was friendly and fantastic. Decor was on point - old school oilfield with a pipeline theme, I would say. Really well done and goes perfectly in Texas country. Covered patio was great. Very much hope to stop in here again. Get some! read more

To start. The ambiance is amazing. This is far from your big city shuffle. It's a nice quaint place in a spot far from the ordinary. Some of the last surviving places in America you can feel safe and welcome. The food top notch. If you want Cajun, well you're here. If you want burgers, you are for sure here. The wings are amazing as well! Little slice of something for everyone, Let's not stop there though. The beer is cold and they have great local brews. Let's finish this slice off though with the service. Second to none. Even when sweet 93 year old Women walk in, they are welcome. Sat and severed first like it should be. I can't brag enough on this place as we were passing though. We will be back. For sure. Even if it is out of our way read more

Rougeaux's - Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Nome, Texas

Whenever my grandson comes to town, there's always a list of favorite spots he wants to revisit--and Rougeaux's in Nome, Texas, is always near the top. Located at 1525 Hwy 365, this hidden gem offers a cozy, country atmosphere and consistently flavorful Southern fare. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, seated promptly, and taken care of by our attentive waiter, Christian. If you go, be sure to ask for him--his service for us was excellent. I never visit Rougeaux's without ordering their famous boudin balls cooked in beef tallow. Perfectly crispy on the outside and moist and savory on the inside, they're a must-try. And don't skip their house dipping sauce--it ties everything together deliciously. For his entrée, my grandson ordered a large garden salad topped with a blackened chicken breast, which he described as juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. He rounded out his meal with sides of green beans and coleslaw. I went with the blackened salmon topped with blackened shrimp, paired with fried okra and a side of coleslaw. The salmon was incredibly moist and packed with flavor--a dish I'd highly recommend for any seafood lover. What made our experience even more special was the personal touch: both the restaurant manager and head chef made their way around the dining room to check in with guests and ensure everyone was pleased with their meal. That kind of hospitality is rare--and very appreciated. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, take a short drive down Hwy 90 to Rougeaux's. Enjoy great food, friendly service, and a laid-back country vibe. And when you go, tell them you heard about it on Best Bites. #tastefullyherryb #bestbites read more

Went again this weekend and tried something new. The fries are so good. Deep fried in beef tallow makes the flavor so good. The burger and fish were both good as well. The outdoor seating area is where it's at. Like you're sitting on the back porch with a nice view. read more

We went for a geocache in Sour Lake, but since I saw this place on The Beaumont Foodie YouTube channel, we decided to stop for lunch. Our wait person was Jessica, and she was amazing. Very helpful and attentive...she even upsold us on dessert to go! I had the shrimp po-boy and Mike had the Texas burger with onion rings. The shrimp were fried perfectly, not greasy at all. They were tender and yummy. The beef here is stellar, making the hamburger excellent. The onion rings were also good. My side was french fries, but I also ordered a side of cucumber-tomato salad. Everything in this establishment is tasty, fresh, and hot. We will definitely return! If you are within 40 miles of this place, stop in...you won't regret it! read more

I have a very good friend that told me that we needed to check Rougeaux's out. He said the food was amazing and him and his wife have been several times. He said the Crab Cakes were amazing, but so was everything they tried and had enough to bring leftovers home for later! Well, we finally were caught up around the house for a change and the young one went with family to the Lufkin Zoo. Finally free, we headed down to Nome to try out Rougeaux's! We wanted to be there at, or shortly after 11:00 am. We arrived around 11:30 and there were people already filtering in! I noticed they had outside seating as well as inside seating, and as it was pretty breezy we chose to sit inside. We walked in and waited to be seated at a table per the sign inside the doors. The young lady who greeted us was very kind and showed us to a table with menus and silverware in hand. We got seated, got the menus, and she told us our waitress would be right with us! And she was!!! She introduced herself and her name was Jessica! We told her it was our first time and she welcomed us and told us that she hoped we liked it and gave us some tips, then took our drink order to give us time to gaze over the menu. She was right back with drinks and asked if we would like an appetizer? Oh yes, we wanted to try their appetizers, they all looked tantalizing, so we choose two! An order of 3 Boudain Balls and an order of Crabmeat stuffed jalapenos! She went to turn those orders in and came back and asked if we thought what we might want. The tips she gave us left is wanting to try it all!!! But we tried to act like we weren't starving and my wife ordered the Fried Shrimp and Oyster Combo and ordered a side of hand battered onion rings with hers. I ordered the Combo with Catfish and Oysters with the same side of Onion rings! Jessica was very outgoing and friendly and had a great personality! It wasn't long she was back out with our appetizers! My wife and I traded tasting both the Boudain Balls and the Crabmeat stuffed Jalapenos! They were both served with a really good homade Ranch Dressing and a pink dipping sauce called Le Mein I believe it was. Both were really great compliments to the appetizers!!! While we were trying the appetizers my wife noticed she had brought out some Boiled Crawfish to another table! So when Jessica came back to see how we liked our appetizers, my wife inquired about the Crawfish! Jessica said that their crawfish are some of the best and they are nice and spicy served with two potatoes and one corn on the cob. It sounded delicious, why not!!! So we told Jessica we wanted to split 3lbs of Crawfish!!! She came right back with them before our main orders came out and we started working on those crawfish!!! Oh, my goodness!!! Right now Rougeaux's is being batting . 300!!! Evening we have tried is better than just on point, is so really delicious! Then Jessica brings out main orders out and they both look just as amazing as the rest of the food we've already tried! Before we finished off the crawfish we both tried the onion rings! Another home run! And when we tried our oysters they weren't only cooked to perfection, but their Tartar sauce is really good!!! I compared it to what we make and theirs taste just like ours!!! I have the Tartar Sauce Recipe from Gaido's in Galveston and it's the best we've ever had. We didn't buy the store bought stuff. Their Tartar Sauce is right on point for taste, it's excellent! I'm a Tartar Sauce but while my wife favors Cocktail Sauce. They also bring you the Le Mein? Spelling might be wrong on this sauce, but it's good too! By the time we finished off the crawfish we were only able to eat one piece of my catfish and only a couple of the Oysters. Then we wanted to try what they had for desserts. Jessica gave us the rundown on desserts and we elected to split the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake topped with pecans and a Carmel drizzle with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!!! So we wish went ahead and asked for two to go boxes at the same time!!! They have a really nice size menu and it really does ALL look good, so we want to come back in the near future and I want to try their Gumbo's, Crawfish platter, Half fried and half Ettouffee, and their Crab Cakes that I was told are the Bomb!!! The entire place inside and outside had a very nice ambience and is just really nice! I have to give Kudos to our waitress Jessica! Every little tip she gave us was right on point, it was all every bit as delicious as it sounded!!! We'll be back soon! Loved it!!! read more

We visited Rougeaux's for the second time in two weeks. We're always looking for new places to eat and we definitely found one here. The food is very very good. The first time we were there, 2 weeks ago, Sarah was our server and she went out of her way to ensure our party was taken care of. This evening, 11/1/25, Christian was our server and he took very good care of us as well. We look forward to coming back to eat there again soon. read more

I will be back. read more

From the menu, the service, and the delicious food... everything was wonderful! If you're hungry, this is a great place to go!

Was looking to support a small local business today and Rougeauxs didn't disappoint! We had the Rougeaux Burger with wagyu beef. It came already put together, big plus for us. The patty was delicious and bun was toasted perfectly. The fries were fried in beef tallow, crispy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, seasoned just right. We sat outside, the big fans and view made for a great summer day experience. The kids enjoyed the yard with balls and connect four. All the kids meals were good too! Great price at $7. If you're ever in Nome, stop in for a treat!! read more

Quality food at a fair price. We started with a cup of seafood gumbo and chicken/sausage gumbo which consisted of dark roux and full of Flavor. Served with a side of potato salad. Next came our main course of the Large Blackened Gulf Shrimp platter and it was perfectly blackened and seasoned to perfection. I ordered the Chicken Fries steak with creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned green beans. This is a true Texas steak that was tender and fried in beef tallow which gave it that extra edge over any chicken fried steak I have ever eaten. This is not your typical thin beat down tenderized steak served at 99% of restaurants. It's thick and meaty with a perfect crunchy crust. Now the Grand Finale! Texas Sheet Cake served with vanilla ice cream that will set you back and make you want to take a nap in the parking lot under a shade tree afterwards. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming and attentive to our every need. This place should be around for a long time due to the quality of food and prices that don't break the bank. But most of all the food has FLAVOR! Ces't Bon! read more
