    OH MY GOODNESS! Everything, absolutely every part of the dinner we have couldn't have been better. Just WOW! The food options on menu were refreshing to my eyes! The options reached far more than typical of Cajun, Creole flavors of what I expect as a restaurant that serves local cuisine. I was torn between lamb and duck entree. I ended up choosing lamb and I should make my next reservation soon to try the duck! The red wine from Oregon complimented PERFECTLY. It was just phenomenal!!!

    House Chardonnay

    About tonight.... Stopped in for a quick bite and wow... just wow... The house chardonnay was fabulous and I was in the mood for Eggplant so tried the Eggplant + Crawfish. Unbelievable! Hit every culinary note possible. How did I not discover this before?!? We decided to order off the "Lent Features" menu and split the Shrimp Arrabbiata Pasta. From the second it was set on the table a beautiful Smokey bbq smell hit us from a wonderful sauce. It was delicious!!! The only critique is that I wish it had come with a small piece of bread for soaking up the leftover marinara. Afterwards, we had an Apricot Old-Fashioned. I will tell you this... if you truly LOVE bourbon and Kaleb is bartending, you have got to try one. I have had these here for years but this one hit all the notes! Perfectly done and NOT too sweet (thank goodness). Ethan G was our server and he was fabulous! This is one of our favorite places because it has everything. Fabulous food, fabulous service and fine crafted cocktails.

    Personal Lemon drop flight, French 75, and other cocktail

    I really enjoyed this place for the drinks and atmosphere! It was the perfect place for my twins and I's 27th birthday dinner! The lemon drop martinis we got in all the flavors- strawberry, blueberry, and mango plus the French 75s were amazing! The Cobb salad was also great! My only complaint was the crawfish cream sauce on my steak. The crawfish tails were very fresh, fishy/unseasoned like and really took from the overall enjoyment of the steak/cream sauce combo. The garlic mash potatoes were perfect coupled with the steak I just hated that the crawfish were so disappointing. The Thai shrimp app was also delicious. Honestly also think they're a bit overpriced for the portions and food quality but would come again for their happy hour. The drinks were 10/10. Service , the wait staff, and our personal waitress were also great!

    Brisket arancini
    Bryan T.

    Rainy Wednesday night in BTR I met a friend for dinner at Rouj. His family are regulars at Rouj and he chose the restaurant - a good choice Environment is upscale but not stuffy and a nice place to grab a happy hour drink We started with the smoked brisket arancini - delicious! Crispy and hot with plenty of gravy to mop up - easily big enuff for 2 to share For entree I had chicken paillard, chicken cutlet, beef dirty rice, haricot verts, tasso cream sauce - honestly one of the best pan fried chicken dishes I've had. Cooked perfectly, not dried out, tasso cream sauce was great! When in BTR Rouj definitely warrants consideration for your dinner needs

    EGGPLANT CRAWFISH
    Lisa J.

    Continues to be some of my favorite seafood in town! I always have to get the eggplant. Had dueling bowls of gumbos and finished both! Love the dark roux of the duck and andouille, and the tang of the seafood gumbo. Our waiter was wonderful, quick and attentive. Helped us celebrate my birthday with a treat too good I forgot to let me phone eat ;)

    Rouj Creole is an amazing southern classic restaurant with phenomenal food - your taste buds will not be disappointed! We started out with the Thai inspired fried shrimp that were perfectly golden fried with a sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce that was perfection (this was not extremely spicy by any means). Two of us ordered off of the brunch menu - both a grits dish - which were savory and delightful. The grits & grillades were extremely rich but the biscuit added a nice touch. If you're looking for a dish on the lighter side, highly recommend the sensation salad. Their sensation dressing is by far the best sensation in town. I could go there everyday just for the salad! Service was super quick, prompt, and the young lady waiting on us was super bright and cheery which made for a pleasant dining experience. We went around 2pm on a Sunday. While the restaurant wasn't full by any means, they still had a decent crowd. We never felt rushed. Highly recommend Rouj Creole if you're in the area!

    Sangria
    Amber J.

    Rouj Creole is an excellent restaurant for a nice Sunday brunch. I must say the playlist was superb and served as a great background for great conversations over food and drinks. The sangria was perfect! It was delicious and it was a great portion size. I ordered the shrimp and grits in which the grits are purple in color. The waiter made sure to mention this detail upon ordering. The purple grits were phenomenal and the shrimp served as an excellent topper. I can't wait to visit this great establishment again.

    I tried the bread pudding instead, but this sounds fun.

    Mom and I went out to dinner to Rouj at Perkins Rowe tonight. Good food, more than competently prepared. Mom wanted to try the hummous, which was tahini-heavy (which I prefer!) and the flatbread actually had a good Zaatar sprinkled on. Chefs seem to be fairly salt blind across the board these days. The previous three nights at comparable local spots were all marred by extreme saltiness, but it wasn't too salty at Rouj. The art and other decorations in the dining room were original and really thoughtful. I know that in the south, and especially at this time of year, football is a distraction. I dine out for the food, not watching people beat each other up. I'm not a fan of having multiple bright displays flashing inside of the dining room, but there's always French Laundry back home, I guess. The service was fantastic; I loved the server who put me at ease and patiently helped me figure out what I wanted to eat. Very reasonable pricing on our meals, and the creative dishes (a crawfish and cheese thing, butterbeans and tasso....) were really nicely done.

    Chicken Fried Chicken and Eggs
    Jessica S.

    I went here with my BF for brunch. We got there when it opened and there was of course a lot of open seating, but by the time we left around 12 it was definitely filling up. The decor was very nice, and the open floor plan was refreshing. The service was mediocre. Our server took awhile to greet us and she did not check on us often. I got the chicken fried chicken with eggs and it comes with mashed potatoes and my bf got shrimp and grits. We also got mimosas to drink. The mimosas were good but the fact that they didn't offer a bottomless option was disappointing. My dish left a lot to be desired. The presentation was not appetizing and you couldn't see the chicken under the eggs. While the eggs and mashed potatoes were well seasoned the chicken was not and was bland. I wouldn't go back for brunch but I am interested to check out their happy hour.

    Brussel sprouts with feta

    So a friend I were looking for a place to have dinner. The initial place we wanted to go to couldn't seat us so she called Rouj Creole and they were. It had been a while since I had eaten here like years and I didn't remember much about the visit so this was like my first time again. 1. It's a vibe. Well lit nice bar and ppl dress nice to come. 2. Server Dallas was AMAZing! Very knowledgeable about the menu and just very welcoming . 3. The food was good. Crab cake was decent I prefer more crab meat but it was seasoned well Shrimp and crab meat ball pasta was good I would order without the meat ball more shrimp. The flavor of the sauce was good with the shrimp the meatball was too much for me Brownie 10/10 It was good, I went back for lunch with some coworkers. Here is when it gets tricky. It wasn't busy but the server had a big top which punched the kitchen back so getting food was slow and we were on lunch Brussels 10/10 I had them for appetizer and entreee I ordered the chicken over dirty rice with Tasso sauce and it was 2/10 the chicken didn't look cooked and the sauce was off putting I will go again but will stick with what I know is good

It's on the Infamous Plank Road. So shop with caution on that street. They always have a sheriff or two on the property to help keep down problems but still be cautious.

Tony's does not disappoint. They have a variety of frozen items as well as a full steam table, steamed /boiled seafood and fresh fish. We went in hungry and left out with 3 bags of stuff. We got hot plates of fish, shrimp, smothered steak, jambalaya and boudin. They should really make a sign that explains the ordering process at the steam table. So many items to choose from and you can't be sure what's an entree versus a side. Options are plentiful and everything was good. I was disappointed that they sold the potatoes corn and turkey necks along with the boiled crawfish and shrimp but no sausage nor boiled eggs. We also left with a package of the best pralines I have had ever! The stuffed pork chops and stuffed whole chicken was a hit at our Memorial Day bbq.

While BBQ is the main emphasis here, there are a number of other things on the menu. One of these that's really popular is the seafood stuffed potatoes. These are gigantic baked potatoes that come with shrimp or catfish, with our without crawfish étouffée. Seafood is a definite option here, and one can have it on Friday or any other day. But let's discuss the BBQ. They have smoked turkey that's never dry, and this is great in a sandwich or plate. The smoked wings are another favorite of mine. Then there is the smoked meatloaf, which is great in po-boy form. The ribs and brisket are also very worthy options. I think a two meat plate is a good way to enjoy the BBQ as it allows variety in tasting! Then one has to be pleased by the wide selection of sides. Variety is always great, especially when it includes uncommonly great options like fried green beans, red beans and rice, and Cajun Dirty Rice.
