A true gem in Newburgh! Worth 100% of the cost which is about $30-$40 per person if you get a cocktail.We went for brunch and I got the soft shell crab Benedict which was absolutely delightful.New Orleans influenced decor is spot on to create a cozy atmosphere that doesn't feel out of place.Don't miss an opportunity to go here!
Wow wow wow. And another wow. Mama Roux delivers a stellar dining experience. We made a reservation for brunch with the ability to specify outdoor dining, as we were traveling in the area with our dog. We were seated promptly at what felt like the best table in the house, under a beautifully constructed porch area with interesting architectural salvage. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They gladly brought our pup water in a disposable container. The only tough part of the experience was choosing from all of the incredible menu options. We were thrilled with the Korean chicken and waffles, and shrimp and grits. My alcohol-free cocktail was fragrant, pretty, and delicious. The interior decor was impeccably done- even the bathrooms were gorgeous!My husband is trying to convince me that it wouldn’t be crazy to drive 2+ hours for brunch here another time soon, and we very well might. I know it would be worth it! Already looking forward to the next experience at Mama Roux.
Friendly service, cute spot and really great cocktails. The food was sadly mediocre. Came out “warm-ish” The fried chicken was breaded strangely, had no seasoning and was quite dry. (I’m from the south and know my fried chicken!) I’ve never seen a breading like this one and it may be my least favorite of all time. The escargot came out nearly cold. Bummer! The collard greens were actually really good, in hindsight. Apple cider vinegar really does do the trick.Seems like a cute spot for cocktails and snacks!
Totally unique and cool vibe with outstanding food and drinks! The only reason this is not getting five stars is they need to offer one or two more mainstream choices in the food arena. Not everyone will embrace the eclectic, foodie options and will want more standard fare.That said, if you are the more adventurous type, Mama Roux does not disappoint. The food is very fresh, perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor!
The monthly drag brunch is such a great experience! The cocktails are always stellar at this restaurant, shout out to Patti!
L loved everything!!!! Food, drag show, service
My wife and I have become regulars here since Mama Roux opened in November 2019. Tough time to open a restaurant but the people here have managed to excel in every way. In the warmer months during the height of what I now rather refer to as the "Bad C" we enjoyed many evenings of outdoor dining. We have brought many friends here for brunch and dinners. Hosted a birthday party for me here. The space is beautiful, feeling like a jump to New Orleans, cool bar and restaurant seating, great unique and classic cocktails, decent beer list, and exceptional wine. The varied menu of "Southern Meets Country French '' is filled with delicious options for every palate. The chef here is fantastic. The staff is cordial and attentive, a reflection of the owner's commitment to superb hospitality, wonderful dining experiences. We see all sorts of people here, young and old, hip and conservtaive. Mama Roux attracts a diverse clientele In closing I will mention people often ask "Is Newburgh Safe?" The city has not had a great record for crime in the media, I will assure you that we live across the river in Garrison, we dine and shop here often and have always felt safe. The city is evolving and has improved markedly since we started coming here some years ago. So go.... enjoy Mama Roux
I love to come here for drinks, the staff and atmosphere are both amazing. But it's frustrating that they have extremely limited vegetarian options, and have no vegetarian mains on their main menu. I really wish they would address this. If they did, we would be there every week.Also bring back the mushroom poutine please!!
Food was fantastic, delicious blackened Carramundi, baked escargots, fabulous cocktails. The staff was awesome and atmosphere was very positive. Definitely coming back.??❤️
The dinner my husband and I just had at Mama Roux was one of the most memorable meals we've had in a while. Everything from the service, presentation to the flavors were amazing. Can't wait to come back!
