My family and I LOVE oysters so when I found out that Roux offered $1 oysters all day Sunday I made a reservation! I called on Saturday to make a reservation for 1:00PM the next day. In that phone call I expressed how excited we were for the oysters and the young lady and I shared a laugh. Then I called Sunday morning to change the time to 2:30PM and was informed that it actually worked better for the restaurant because they were getting busy-again I expressed how excited I was for the oysters. We get there at 2:35 (parking was crazy) and ask for 3 dozen oysters to start. Our server informed us that they ran out of oysters at 1:00PM and that they only received a shipment of 100 due to the heat wave.... Our faces literally dropped. She asked if she called me to let me know and I said no which is why we're here and why we asked for oysters. We ended up leaving and had to pay $15 for parking and were only there for 20 minutes. I want to express that it was bad business to not let your upcoming reservations know ahead of time that your special will not be running as usual so your guests could make accommodations elsewhere. I'm giving 3 stars because the staff was very kind upon arrival and over the phone. I hope to enjoy their oysters in the near future.
It was our first time on canton street and it has a ton of different restaurants to choose from. We hopped around and chose to dine at Roux. We weren’t too hungry so we had some small plates to share.The drinks here are absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend the frozen margarita. We ordered fried oysters which were good too, as well as a watermelon salad. The watermelon was fresh and juicy however there was way too much cilantro which did not pair well with the salad.Definitely stop here for some drinks!
I went for lunch with my Husband. I had the Lobster roll and shrimp and Steak skewers. The only issues I had was the menu was dirty and should've been whiped off it had little pieces of lettuce or some green vegetable stuck on it. The other was with the lobster "roll" was more like a hot dog bun from the supermarket and not being thick enough to support the meat piled on and fell apart on but, the taste was phenomenal. The waitress was sweet and accommodating and it was peaceful to have the window seat and look outside.
Enjoyed my visit. Our server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the fried oysters; they were excellent with the right amount of light, crispy batter. My burger was made well and flavorful. The other guests who I dined with enjoyed their food as well. I'd eat there again anytime!
Went to Dinner tonight. Rainy Monday night, no wait. Had the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy and substituted slaw for the veggies. Meatloaf had a consistency and I liked it. Potatoes were creamy and good. Slaw had large pieces of slaw and I did not like. We ordered Beinets and they were awful. Totally obercooked and 7 bucks. Go to the plce down the street. Much better and only 5 bucks. Waitress was nice and food came out quickly. Thought it was a little pricey.
The hurricanes are made with real juice and they are well worth the trip to this place. We were lucky to get the crawfish because they were cooking them outside. I am looking forward to returning for some more good food.
Awesome food and really awesome atmosphere. I definitely recommend them if you’re looking for some good Cajun food in Roswell Ga. ???
We were hungry but had no idea where we wanted to eat. We were wandering down Canton Street and just happened upon this place. It's a small, unassuming spot but it was so GOOD! We had "The Dip" and my date had the "Big Chicken Sandwich". Jonathan was fantastic and the food came out piping hot and fast. "The Dip" was creamy, gooey, melty and delicious with freshly fried and baked pitas. The "Big Chicken Sandwich" was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The chicken was crunchy and flavorful and with the crispy bacon and other accoutrements, it was scrumptious! Plus, house made ranch is always a bonus. We definitely will return!
This was one of my favorite spots until recently. I really enjoyed the gumbo until I started getting shorted on my shrimp and my drink had more ice than liquid. The services was average at best and I really didn’t feel welcomed. With that being said, I will just take my business elsewhere.
I would normally give a 5 star review because I’ve been going to Roux for years. However tonight, on a Sunday night, I showed up and had 2 drinks. I went to order a 3rd and I was denied, along with my father and my friend, more drinks because “she felt she served me enough”. Prior to that, my dad and his many friends were very pleasant and kind and tipped this bartender very well. She said she felt we had drank enough and wouldn’t serve me, my friend or my dad another drink. No where on Canton Street was open because of the weather so Roux was the only place that was going to make money because of the closures. I was very disappointed by this encounter. Me and my friend were the same age as this bartender and she was the only one there so we made sure to go out of our way to compliment her and make her feel comfortable. This was ridiculous and so rude based on how nice we were to her. I probably won’t come back here for a while because of how ridiculous this encounter was. If it was a normal night (not a snow night) I would have asked for the manager.
