We were hungry but had no idea where we wanted to eat. We were wandering down Canton Street and just happened upon this place. Its 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 Ive 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.
Cute little downtown!! The restaurant was good. We sat at a booth in the front window. I had the oyster and chicken tortilla soup. The steak and shrimp screwers were really good!! The food was good and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. I would eat here again!
Great vibe and wonderful food at very reasonable prices. Their in-house salad dressings are delicious. The meatloaf, tomato basil soup and their crispy chicken sandwich are all excellent choices.
Definitely do not order takeout here. They completely disregarded the special instructions (a person with a dairy allergy). They also do not alert you when the order is ready. I was given a 75 minute window to guess and show up. Of course the food was ice cold because it was sitting for who knows how long. Emailed management and have been ignored.
Had dinner there last night for my birthday. Service was beyond great, every dish from appetizer to dessert was delish! I highly recommend the appetizer The Dip. Will definitely be making a repeat visit!
Loved the atmosphere of downtown Roswell but with my unbalanced table for 2 outside, the tone was set for an underwhelming experience. Service was polite albeit slow. We started with the lobster queso dip.. Meh. Frozen lobster tossed as a garnish atop an average tasting queso dip with fresh, crispy chips was nothing I would crave or write home about... The two entrees we ordered were nothing special... I had the shrimp Poboy. 6 breaded bland shrimp on a fresh bread roll that tasted of butter AND oil.. A modest spread of some bland sauce, and lettuce, tomato and some pickles. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries but ended sending my plate back. I didnt want to waste my calories on a bland meal. My sister had a jambalaya. She took her leftovers home and jazzed it up with hot sauce and salt. But she was underwhelmed too. We enjoyed 2 drinks each and the beautiful summer outdoor patio area but wont be back to dine. It looked pretty but Ive had frozen meals that titillated my taste buds better than the 3 items at Roux. Subpar!
Some of the best oysters I’ve ever had outside of Florida. Hannah was an excellent waitress and enjoyed our first experience at Roux.
Had raw oysters, plump and juicy. Cajun chicken pasta was fabulous. Service was friendly and the place was clean. I definitely will return.Went back today. Oyster Po-Boy and gumbo, excellent!
Mid week visit during the holiday season. The service was friendly and prompt. Full menu of food and the homemade nachos were brilliant! Chill atmosphere and full of businessmen day drinkers gettin down! Super variety of draft selections that must rotate regularly and full bar of the hard stuff. I was particularly impressed with the suds selection, good variety and some real serious beers. Thanks for having us!
Love this place! Now. It is a bit cramped inside but the wait is worth it! Casual place with great drink specials. We were there with another couple and we ordered a bunch of apps and a couple meals! We enjoyed everything!!! Everything we ordered was well seasoned and delicious. We had gumbo, mussels, fried okra which was one of the best I have had and came with a great dipping sauce. Then we had a flatbread chorizo pizza! For meals we shared an order of shrimp & grits which was awesome and an order of meatloaf. I am usually hesitant to order meatloaf out, but soooo glad we did. It isn’t your mom’s meatloaf! This was bathed in a delicious gravy and was not the least bit dry! We sampled a few drinks but the winner was defiantly the special Mr. Jingles!! Lost track after the 3rd one!! Great place for a date, families and a casual night out!
Cute little place in a trendy area. Their gumbo has got to be some of the best I’ve had, and I’ve had different kinds all throughout Louisiana as well. Try it! Good service and good food all around.
Amazing food. Try the spinach dip. They make the chips in house and theyre FIRE. Their tacos are also on point.
Very good food. I enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant and area as well.
Great place in downtown Roswell. Staff is nice and friendly. Food is awesome. Had the lobster risotto; really good. Prices are very good (good value) given the center of market location. Fried shrimp is a good sized serving and good.Drinks are wonderful. Had the Manhattan and it was perfect !We were the last ones there and the staff did not try to push us out the door or nudge us to leave. That tells you about the ethics of the folks there.
Polite and friendly staff, fast service, and delicious food. We got carry out beignets for Mardi Gras tonight. They were delicious!! We called ahead and they were ready on time.
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.
Friendly staff. They make it most worth returning for. Small location so maybe make a reservation. Food is good but a bit pricey. I know first hand that cost of goods has skyrocketed for restaurants so I cant blame them really. Id recommend the dip. Drinks are certainly overpriced but I did have a sip of a drink that had coconut milk and matcha and possibly gin (cant remember the name) and it was very good.
First time ever eating here and we loved it! The food was great and the server was very nice and helpful! When we are in town again we will definitely eat here again!!
Always first class in service and food, but needs to clean up their back ally-way big time.
This place was great!! Their food was fantastic, pictured is the Gouda burger. They were also very patient and accommodating with our elderly guest who was there celebrating his birthday. He was in a wheelchair and they did all they could to make his stay pleasant. Would definitely go again
Very very good. Chicken sandwich outstanding. This place gets crowded, so dont go there*.*so more room for me
Great food and drinks. They have a large assortment of craft beer and cocktails. Dinner for 2 (appetizer and entrees without drinks) was around $40. We got a few cocktails and a couple of beers. The waitstaff was friendly and came by frequently to check on us. The only downside was the space is small and it gets loud when full. We went early to avoid having to wait but there was a line when we left. We will definitely go again.
Good atmosphere, tasty food and yum cocktails. You can take your small kids as well. Definitely will try next time.
Amazing quality food for the price. Peri Peri chicken sandwich was delicious.Cant wait to go back again.
Great food and great service! Will be back very soon.
Celebration of Jonathans birthday! Delicious pimento cheese fritters, roasted pimento cheese oysters, Salmon, and birthday beignets ❣🎂❤🎂
Food was not disappointing but menu was a little limited. I was hoping for more southern food selection. I devoured the fried pickles and okra. Ive had better lobster roll. The jambalaya flavor was rich and satisfying but I prefer it to be slightly more on the hotter side. Paid over $100 for 2 small apps and 3 main dishes so a tad pricey for lunch, but its on popular Canton St. so I suppose you pay a premium.
This spot is situated in historic Roswell among a host of other restaurants and quant shops. A cozy pet friendly patio was a great spot to eat my delicious meal and people watch. Carly was ultra friendly and I took a shrimp & Grits to go.. it heated up well😂
We tried just about everything on the menu (pimento cheese fritters, deviled eggs, oysters, sweet potato fries, grits, buffalo tacos, okra, hush puppies, lobster roll… I may be forgetting something) and everything was delicious! Cocktails were great. Service was great. Prices are very reasonable for the area as well.
Food and services are good, but a bit too salty for me
My husband and I enjoyed good taste of our foods. Our son was not excited about his bbq sandwich, he told us it was too sweet taste.My veggie burger, sweet potatoes fries and side salad was delicious and Im glad for thos vegetarian option in you menu. My husband like his chicken sandwich with extra bacan and cheese and French fries. We will come for sure back. Son will try something different from menu with lots of options.Thanks.
The nachos were 10/10 but our meals we just ok. Service was really good.
I had the lobster roll. It was different but not bad. It had the lobster meat mixed up in mayo and dill like some kind of lobster salad in a king Hawaiian sub roll with some salad in the bottom of the roll. Like I said different but not bad. They have several beers on tap always a plus. The wait staff seemed very nice. I was there for lunch time not to busy.
Food is great! Their servers arent the best. Every time we go someones order is wrong. Last time everyone was served but one person. They blamed it on something being down, then asked what they had ordered 30 minutes after taking our initial order. My sisters meal finally came out 10 minutes after we all finished ours.
Best Cuban sandwich in town@ lots of tasty and creative drinks too, good appetizers and a fun place to go in downtown Roswell either for Live After Five or a perfect sunny day. Roux is one of my favorites in a crowded Roswell square. A hidden gem.
Very nice and quaint place! I will definitely come back! Service great, bourbon great, food is great!
Its tiny on the inside HOWEVER the food, drinks and service was on point! We will be returning and I highly recommend!
Amazing cuisine! Great ambiance and wonderful service! Culinary top shelf!
Visited on a busy Saturday with no reservation, but were able to grab two seats at the bar right away. Bartender was friendly and attentive and we got drinks quickly. Had The Dip as a starter, which is an artichoke dip that was delicious! Love that they give you warm pita wedges and also fried chips and both were plentiful. My other half had a burger, I had the cajun chicken pasta. Both were served in a timely manner and cooked well. The biggest complaint of the night was that the pasta was just meh. Lacked much seasoning, especially for being called cajun, and was just generally a bit bland. Like just pasta in a cream sauce. Overall, a good visit, a couple tweeks would make it 5 stars. Definitely would go back.
They were out of oysters, out of frozen drinks, but that was because we went late on a Sunday after their happy hour. Knowing that, our server was excellent despite those shortcomings. The food is great, (lobster roll and especially the hush puppies- some of the best anywhere). The fried tomatoes are nothing to complain about and the pretzel is a crowd pleaser. The shrimp and grits are a good dinner, but need a rework to be award winning. The drinks are very good, you will leave happy. But they have a little further to go- same situation as shrimp and grits. Great food, but needs a little further to be super fancy Michelin et cetera yada yada. Thanks for a great meal!Our server did crush it as well so 5 stars
Crowded, loud, great food, great drinks. Nice view and ambiance. What else can you ask for.
Always a favorite place to eat!!The shrimp & Grits awesome 👌
A bit harder to find parking than one would like, and cramped/loud, but the food was great and unique (especially the pretzel!).
The atmosphere and service was amazing. Will definitely be back! The oysters and the steak were delicious and had tons of flavor.
I stoped into Roux on Canton at lunchtime knowing Ive never been there and Im pleased to share that I was fortunate to enjoy an outdoor table in beautiful weather. My server Mariel was quick to bring me a menu and even quicker to bring my beverage. In keeping with the fall atmosphere I ordered the grilled skirt steak with brussell sprouts, brocolli and sweet potatoes. Let me tell you that the medium cook on my steak was perfect and the vegetables a meal in thier own. Thank you for being a part of my peacefull Monday. I look forward to my next visit to Roux on Canton.
This is a wonderful restaurant. I ordered the shrimp and grits as well as the southern appetizer. Everything was spot on!!
3 stars only because the Mr. Jingles cocktails are so good. Good atmosphere and fine service but the food was a let down. I expected much more from a restaurant on Canton Street. We had 3 appetizers and 2 entrees and were extremely underwhelmed by each of them. Next time Ill be sure to stop by for a Mr.Jingles cocktail while I wait for a table somewhere else. Also glad to see they werent too hung up on the whole mask thing. Props for that!
Enjoyed some oysters & beer! I love this place.
The beignets were dry. A similar dessert (Lokoumades) in a restaurant down the street called Vas Kouzina was much, much better. In general, the entrees (jambalaya and lobster sandwich) were a little underwhelming. Nothing was wrong, but I’ve had better, fresher food.The dip was really creamy and savory, though! I would come back here just to get the dip! Otherwise, this is not worth a $70 dinner (2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and dessert).
They have a great selection of cocktails and beers.
Being on the busy strip of Canton Street, this is a popular dining destination. I think for the most part the food is well prepared, and you know what youre getting when you order. The menu has remained consistent and the food has remained consistent even in COVID times, which I definitely cant say for other restaurants on the strip. Definitely worth a stop for lunch, and if youre looking for a fun informal dinner setting, this is also a great spot.
Lovely Saturday evening dining outside. The service and food were equally amazing.
Best Oysters I ever had.. Chargrilled oysters are my favorite. Also Seafood resotto is also delicious 😋
Friendly waiting staff. Good food and a great vibe.
The raw oysters were super clean and the salad was delish. But, the gumbo and jambalaya was not as flavorful as I like my Cajun/Creole dishes.
While the service itself was fantastic, the food and drinks left much to be desired. This was not New Orleans style cuisine. It was not even close. In addition, the Mac n’ cheese and no flavor and the beignets (not great on consumption ) had a terrible after taste. The old fashioned tasted nothing like an old fashioned. We were very disappointed after reading the reviews and making an effort to get in here where there is normally a wait...
This used to be one of my very favorite restaurants. Their food is really great. But I cant go to this restaurant anymore because they make zero efforts to comply with CDC guidelines in a post-covid world. We havent been out much during the pandemic, but the few restaurants we have been to, weve seen steps taken to ensure health of staff and customers. NOT TRUE AT ROUX. NONE of the staff were wearing masks. I literally saw a server carrying plates of food while wearing no mask. When we sat down, a server came right up to our table, leaned in to us, and talked right in our face, all while wearing no mask. Who knows if kitchen staff are even wearing masks while preparing your food. This was months ago, before vaccines were even an option. Im really upset because Id love to eat at Roux, but not until they take the health of their staff and customers seriously.
It was so refreshing to be in a restaurant that didn’t torment their employees by making them wear the dreadful face diapers! The food was excellent. Experience was great. Service was great. I’ll be back.
I did not know much about this restaurant before walking in. The food was all good. Ordered grilled oysters with parmesan and bacon on them for an appetizer and a Cuban sandwich for my entree. Both were delicious! The space is a little tight but adds to the atmosphere. The only other thing that I thought could be better was the beer selection. Overall, it was great, and Ill be back to try more off the menu.
Oysters were awesome, vive was better!
So very good! We had two different appetizers, three entrees, plus a variety of beers. All were delicious. Our server rocked and so did the music. Go after the lunch rush!
My husband called in a large order today of a bit of everything from the menu- shrimp and grits, shrimp po boy, fish tacos, bignets ... everything was GOOD. Outstanding. Im eating the shrimp and grits right now and wish I could go back for more. You wont go wrong ordering from here 😋
Shrimp & grits were fire - make sure you dab a lil bit of that homemade hot sauce on there. Quinoa salad was fire - waiter said he eats it twice a week so it must be good. Sweet potato fries were gas - perfectly cooked. Dont forget to scoop the Brussels sprouts for an app. Also, drink local. Plenty of great local beers on tap. Loved it.
Went on the evening of Mothers Day and got the best seat in the house for my family! Carmen was fantastic to us and treated us well! Food was great, only, I guess I expected more New Orleans style selections on the menu. Well definitely be back!
I was just there to have drinks with a friend. We shared a bottle of wine and she got food. Her fish tacos looked really good - I tried some of her sweet potatoe fries and, hands down, they were the best Ive ever had. Friendly service, great location and outside seating. I would definitely go back to try a meal.
The cocktails are great and so is the beer selection. The food is always delicious - especially the seafood pasta and shrimp & grits. The service has always been wonderful as well. Roux is always a home run.
Excellent food, excellent service. Shrimp and grits was great, as was the fried chicken. Only small issues were the seating was a little tight, and parking in that area is limited, but thats the case with all the restaurants in that part of Roswell. Definitely will be going back.
Food was awesome. Carmen was our server. She is great. I had the catfish poboy and my wife had the patty melt and we love both dishes. Both plates came out on time and the wine and beer selection is great.. Will be coming back...
Wonderful lunch experience today. Our group had the turkey wrap, crunchy fish sandwich, chicken salad croissant, and buffalo shrimp tacos - everything was delicious. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and our waiter was congenial and attentive. We will most assuredly be back!
Atmosphere was great! Liked the tavern like, smaller space. Food was good too. There are a lot of good restaurants in downtown Roswell and Roux stacks up pretty well. Worst case, its a great place to go for a beverage!
This place is definitely one of my favorite places to grab a beer at in downtown Roswell. If you’re passing by grab a strawberry vanilla Stout I highly recommend 10 out of 10. Live music is awesome band members are really cool. Has a very chill vibe and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend getting one of their burgers I’m drooling just thinking about it.
After reviewing an Irish Pub I needed to find a restaurant to have Dinner and a Beer with my Best Friend. I walked down the street in Beautiful Historic Roswell past quaint cafes and restaurants and chose Roux. We were seated immediately and greeted by “Carmen” our server. She was very efficient and displayed “Southern Charm” on a very hectic St. Patrick’s Day! I had a Cuban Sandwich which was delicious and their Homemade Kettle Chips. The Chips were served warm with their special seasoning! Definitely try them. Food was very reasonably priced. Great food and great service!
Great experience, I’ve never been here before and working in the industry I can be pretty picky but understanding as well and there was nothing that could have been better.Our server steven was amazing and really cool. He never rushed us and helped with the menu with great knowledge. The hostess sat us in great time and the look of the place was beautiful even with the rain outside. The food was on point and I’m definitely coming back!
It was my 1st time being here and I absolutely adored the place even though it was very small and it seemed kind of cramp.. we were comfortable. For dinner I had their meat loaf and it was cooked to perfection. I paired it with a couple of their great red wines that they had available... the 1st wine was a 1000 stories then the drink a wine called the conundrum. both excellent choices. The servers were so thorough in their work I really enjoyed my time here and Ill be coming back soon.
Had a great lunch experience. Anna the bartender was delightful and offered good suggestions. I had two local beers while my wife enjoyed Annas handcrafted margarita. We started with a dozen oysters from Virginia. My wife had an Anna recommended gouda burger and I enjoyed the pressed Cuban sandwich. Well be back.
This has become our go to spot. The menu ranges from hot sandwiches to full entrees. The restaurant is small in size like most on canton street but the food, service and beer is worth the wait. Their craft draft beer selection changes often but always has great new options I have not yet had the opportunity to try. Best beer selection in Roswell. Cheers!
We had hopes for this very quaint location on Canton. The fried catfish came out very oily and not crunchy at all. I tried to eat it, but could not stomach it. I ended up telling the waitress, and left it on my plate. I thought the restaurant would make a concession but to my surprise I ended up paying full price. Probably going to be a while before I give it another try.
First time here and had a GREAT time. The service was top notch. I was greeted and seated immediately (and they were fairly busy at the time). My server was professional and efficient and my food was delicious. I got one of the best burgers Ive ever eaten. It was the one with gouda and guacamole. I was out with a friend and when I went home I immediately told my husband that hes got to take me there. I cant wait to go again!
If youre going to put blue cheese on something, list it on the menu. Wasted $30 on two small wraps that taste awful. Got the order to go so I couldnt have it re-made. Two stars because I can tell it would taste good if they had accurate ingredient lists and the portion is tiny for the price. $9 would be high for this amount of food, much less $15 each wrap.
I saw Seafood Risotto that other people posted for this restaurant that looks really good, so we went there for lunch. Turns out it only on the dinner menu but waiter said they can make for me. When the food came out, I was little disappointed and lost my appetite...maybe the chef is not in the cooking mode or maybe different chef cooking that day, he just soaked everything in creamy/cheesy soup like someone vomit on it. I only had few bites. Oh I never see any restaurants surcharge extra for ordering dinner entree on top of dinner price because of lunch hours. For sure not going back...
This is one of our go to places. The food, beer selection and service are consistently fantastic. They offer a rotating selection of unique craft beers. If youre unsure, the servers are glad to grab you a sample before bringing you the full pour. Theres always something new to try on tap. Our food favorites are the mac and cheese, mussels, seasonal salads, and shrimp and grits. They offer a grilled cheese beignet that my kids adore! Canton Street allows open container so if theres a wait on a table you can take a drink to go and take a stroll until they page.
Went once and got the biggest oysters in my life... The size of my hand, literally. Went back thinking that was their thing, ordered 3 dozen and got tiny, little things... And was told by the waitress afterwards that half-priced oysters are on some other day (wasnt expecting half priced, but at those sizes they should have been anyway). Service is good, though. Atmosphere is cozy.
Get the crab cakes. I repeat, get the crab cakes. All of the food was good, but the service is what pushed this one to 5 stars. They were super busy, Friday night, every excuse to not be perfect but in fact the service was just perfect. Three days in Atlanta and this was the runaway favorite.
Great food and drinks. Had the Fish Tacos with Red Beans and Rice as well as the Classic Burger with Mac & Cheese. The order was off a bit and they had to go back twice for add-ons to the burger but then took it off our check. Been here many times and will continue to return.
Great food, great service, fin atmosphere, love music. We ate here on a Friday night. We were able to sit outside, which was nice since it wasnt too hot and gave us the opportunity to watch all the hustle and bustle of canton st. We could also hear the live music without being blasted by it. The food was good and the prices reasonable.
It was a great restaurant with friendly staff. If you are looking for good home cookin check this place out.
I had the Soup(Tomato Basil) and Salad(Farmhouse) Combo with Cheese Beignets. The Soup was good, but a little on the salty side(maybe leave the cheese out or offer on the side), the Salad was good, just not enough Dressing, so it was dry and the Cheese Beignets were a complete fail. It was basically flat bread with a liiittle bit of cheese in btwn.
What a treat. I took the family here for my wifes birthday. The food is great as is the selection of craft beers. There isnt a kids menu precisely but they have plenty of kid friendly options if you ask. And the waitress and kitchen staff were very accommodating to my picky teenager. All plates were cleared so everyone seemed satisfied. Plus beignets for dessert.
Delicious food and enjoyed the atmosphere.
Food is great, drinks are awesome, the staff is nice. I gave it 4 stars because I went the other day by myself and took my infant the inside is so small I could not take her to the bathroom with me because her small umbrella stroller would not go past the tables. The hostess did watch my daughter but it was uncomfortable, Im not sure what would have happened had she had to seat someone. Someone in a wheelchair would be unable to use the restroom.
I love the vibe of downtown Roswell and the Roux has the same energetic vibe. The food is good we ordered the Oyster Poboy, a BLT, and the Gouda burger. And had nachos and cheese dip (OMG that cheese dip is amazing). The staff is very friendly and attentive. The only downside to this place is its too small. You want to eat your food and get out in a hurry. I saw a waitress spill water on a customer (the customer didnt make a big deal...you kind of expect it lol. Even the outside space is congested. If I go back, it will be a to go order.
Food was OK, but be prepared for an fast pass experience if you come on a Saturday night. Our main course arrived 2 minutes after appetizers, and the bill arrived while my wife was only half way through her main course.
Service was awful. We showed up on an early Saturday after late breakfast, wasn’t incredibly busy (about 75% full) Me and my wife sat at the bar, and I asked for a beer for me, and a lemonade for my wife. After about 10 minutes, the bartender kept pressuring us to buy food as well. Since we had just had breakfast, we weren’t hungry, so I told her after the 3rd time she asked that I just wanted to have a couple of beers. She was almost running us off the place at this point and it was getting uncomfortable (I guess they make their money on food and not on beer?) so I paid my one beer and left. Never coming back to this place.
Nice, warm and excellent attention. Great time!
Table service with a small dining area, outdoor seating and a bar. Burger was very good the second time around, first attenpt was way over done. Chicken sausage gumbo was great. Service was a little slow but very friendly.
The wife and I had lunch here after a quick hike with the doggo. Service was a bit slow but friendly though the hostess seemed to be annoyed. The food was quite good, cuban sandwich and po boy. I think they need to address their fried pickles however. Not a good showing. The fries we killer.
Dinner last night with girlfriends at Roux was amazing. The food was sooooo good. We had the brussel sprouts and the southern sampler and they were so good we ordered them both twice. The Dip was amazing too. The staff was friendly, our waitress did a great job of being attentive while letting us chat all night. The expo boys are adorable and funny. The bartender made a stellar margarita. It was over a great experience and I will be back.
Food was great. Server was great. Drinks were great. Had ALL the oysters (grilled, fried and raw) and all were so good !! Also had the Quinoa salad with salmon. Delicious!! Plus fried pickles, okra, and jalapeños 😍😍😍 then beignets❣️
Loved the menu! Food was great... small quaint atmosphere with inside ot outside dining. Good variety and quality! Unique dishes and drinks. Prices were fair for the portion size and location. Will def return!
The restaurant is decent, there are better places in alpharetta and Roswell. It reminds me of the food at the union (which is 2 stars IMO) and the service is pretty okay for the amount of people that go in and out of there. Only reason why this place has 3 stars is because its obvious that they dont use very high ingredients, it may not be bottom shelf food but they are making a huge profit. Like many people have said before, 20$ for a plate of fried oysters...? I probably wont be going back simply because my family is from new Orleans and its not authentic Cajun, but Im sure someone who isnt very exposed to Cajun food would actually quite enjoy it. Overall, its a good restaurant that would get a bump with some refining on the technique and ingredients
Everything here is top notch; the drinks, the food, the service are all amazing! Highly recommend the shrimp po boy: the best fried shrimp I’ve ever had.
My wife and I stopped in for lunch this afternoon and loved the food, the drinks and the atmosphere. Located in the heart of roswell in a small allyway style resturaunt. The bar provides a large selection of local, domestic and imported beers. They also seemed to have a large variety of liquors for mixed beverages. I had their signature fried chicken sandwich and found it to be delicious. From my views of other peoples food i wouldnt have a problem eating anything from their menu. Their meals are also reasonably priced. ENJOY!
Were from Cumming, but we decided to spend our anniversary cruising Canton Street. We stumbled upon Roux. It looked cool, so we went in for a brew. The staff was very friendly, and the patrons were just as nice at the bar. They had a great draft selection, and we were even able to take our beer to go. Good times!
Very nice! Great atmosphere
Good selection of beers, and one of the best meatloaf plates Ive enjoyed in a long time. Definitely worth a try if you can get a table on a quiet weeknight.
For visiting folks, driven by hunger from the black hole that is being stuck in an office all day, we were happy to find this place. Definitely a local favorite and fit for foodies. From oysters to the Dip, chicken to pasta, we definitely ate our fill and relished in the delight of expanded waistlines. Thank goodness for stretchy pants and comfortable pajamas - with food this good, how could you possibly put your fork down? Make sure you stop by, but we warned youll want to try everything and they definitely dont have forklifts to haul you out!
Great food, nice server. No coffee to go with the beignets. Cozy spot.
Had the gumbo, the crab cakes, and a Shirley Temple with black cherries. Not only was the entire meal beyond perfect, it was hot and came out shortly after we ordered it, (about ten minutes for the entree and maybe only a couple minutes for the gumbo). I ordered this at dinner time on a packed Friday evening. We ate outside and the scenery was wonderfully entertaining without being noisy and obnoxious in any way. The portions were huge, even for a cup of gumbo. I definitely believe that the portions were worth every dime that I paid. In fact, I could barely eat half of the meal and had to resolve to taking the rest in a box. This is a GREAT restaurant, and I recommend it without reservation!
Enjoyed the sidewalk table on a nice Sunday afternoon. Great raw oysters. Good quality food and prep.... friendly service.
Really disappointing lunch experience. Food was fine but table & chairs outside were dirty, servers were unmasked and food was slow with no drink refills offered.
I felt like the food was good in theory, but it was poorly executed. I came by Sunday morning and my soup and risotto were cold. I was also moderately disappointed that day risotto did not use arborio rice but I could have gotten over that if not for the temperature. I ordered my burger medium and half of it came out that way. The other half came out burnt and smashed as if someone pressed it onto a grill and forgot about it. My girlfriends salmon sandwich was excellent and to proper temperature. I will be back to have their food again, the service was excellent and I really dug the menu.
It was our second stop on the strip so we just got some oysters!! The service was good and so was the oysters 😋 well be back..
Good every time Ive been there. Love the Shrimp Poboy, the catfish is good too. Have never had anything bad on the menu. Comfortable dinning inside and out. GREAT STAFF!
Good food and good beer selection. Located in the historic Canton street area of Roswell. A little small, decent atmosphere, food was very good, but not excellent. Personally, Id probably look elsewhere if this type of food was on my mind.
Best food, great cocktails, amazing service every time.
Roux is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Their salmon and jalapeno cheddar grits are amazing! Service is always great as well.
Glad I stopped in. The food was great!
Roux has gone downhill. What happened to this place? This used to be my goto place every weekend. Friendly staff greeting me at the door handing me my drink before I sat down. Now know one knows us! We get ignored sometimes sitting for 10 minutes at the bar watching the bartender talk to there friends at the other end of the bar! This happened to us 3 x! So you can’t just say this was a bad day. At least I’m saving money every weekend.
Nice little place. Had a Cuban sandwich for lunch and it was very good. Not a large menu. Seemed more suited for hanging our and getting a drink with friends.
Had lunch there yesterday with a friend. She had the tomato basil soup and pimento cheese sandwich. She said soup was delicious and the sandwich was juge! Had to get a to go box for half!I HAD THE FISH TACOS AND THEY ARE EXCELLENT. FULL OF FISH AND GOODIES.
Lively venue, can get noisy! Excellent food at mid-range prices. Shrimp and grits is a must. Not your run-of-the-mill beer selection, usually a $4 draft available.
Great place with a small town feel for excellent food and drinks. Great service without feeling like there are huge crowds and you can’t get anybody’s attention
Extraordinary vibes and super welcoming service. The meals were crisp and enchanting. Will absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Convenient rates and generous meals. Good job.
I agree with Andrew Oysters at 20 bucks whoa! Ive had better shrimp and grits and benigets both but it was OK. The service was good, there only draw back is Im pretty sure my server took a smoke break at some point because I could smell it and that always kills the experience a bit. I had a Scout mob so what can I say...
Can you give NEGATIVE stars??? First off the staff is just LIES to you about the wait time. Our 1 ½ hour wait turned into a 2 ½ hour wait. Then we were FINALLY seated next to the bar where all the drunks could run in and out of the restaurant hitting us in the back CONSTANTLY!!!!! Then the wait staff continued with this ABUSE AND BATTERY by pushing through the drunks and hitting us in the back!! The food was HORRIBLE!!! I had what the menu called Shrimp and Grits…RUBBERY shrimp over OVERCOOKED grits with COLD GREASY onions and peppers on top. My husband had the shrimp and steak, ONLY 4 SMALL SHRIMP AND 4 SMALL PIECES OF STEAK!!!! Appetizer sized proteins on entrée sized starch!! Another person ordered the Po Boy WITHOUT rémoulade sauce, when the waiter brought the sandwich, he was asked if there was rémoulade sauce on it, the waiter said NO. Well the sandwich was COVERED with rémoulade. So even the chef and wait staff are CLUELESS about the menu. This was our anniversary celebration, and after all the ABUSE we were put through, NOT EVEN A PIECE OF CAKE was brought to our table. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE. On top of all of this, I was SICK to my STOMACH half the night after eating here!!! Do yourself a favor and go to Popeye chicken for better food, larger sizes and more authentic Cajun cuisine!!!
Arrived on Saturday at 7:15 with a party of 6. Was told there was a 45 minute wait (as expected) so we happily had drinks down the street. After 2 hours and dozens of other customers seated ahead of us, we still did not have a table. We were told that they were waiting for a table of 6 to clear but apparently that table is staying to listen to music so we were apparently out of luck. Sorry. Lesson learned: if you ever show up at Roux and are told there is a wait, run away. Immediately.
The place is great and cozy, the food is good, but the negative point was that we are having dinner and the waitress gave us the bill...we felt like we have to finish quick and go out. We didnt have chance to ask for dessert or enjoy the place talking with friends.
Food was good but I do not think the Roswell set up is trendy ... al fresco or inside in those old stores is sad ... Americans have settled for less ... valet parking, lol ... strolling along the footpath they call a sidewalk is dangerous & getting a refill on tea us a herculean task...
Great spot for lunch and cold beer. Great selection of beer on top and bottle. Fish tacos and chicken gumbo were excellent. We will be going back .
Small neighborhood type place to gather for a drink or meal. Very casual. While it felt crowded I did not feel rushed. Service was a little better than average as well as the food. I will go back.
Great food, drinks and service. With the weekend comes live music -- usually some pretty good acts. The inside is a little tight and it will get pretty crowded in the evening.
Great food and fun atmosphere
The Roux on Canton has the BEST shrimp & grits ever made!!!!! Whenever I am in Georgia it is a MUST that I stop by to enjoy this amazing dish! I am seriously considering moving to the south & The Roux on Canton is definitely on my list of reasons why :)
Never had a bad experience or bad food at roux. Highly recommended! Great food, great beers and in downtown Roswell which is a gem! Stop by butter and cream around the corner for dessert!
On my second visit to Roux, I ordered the PEI Pasta. It actually tasted good and I enjoyed my drink as well. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the mussels and I got terrible food poisoning. I wont go into detail but it ruined my weekend and my appetite for seafood. My boyfriend tried calling the restaurant to let them know in hopes no one else would get sick. We were told the manager would call us back but he never did. We wont be returning to Roux on Canton.
The shrimp & grits is to die for!!! DO NOT get the beignet though
Great food and great beer selection. Awesome vegetarian options and lots of choices, which is unusual for a southern cooking place. Even had some good vegan options.
Ate Salmon tacos, spent the whole night in the bathroom dying. Ended up calling paramedics at 4:30am. Worst food poisoning of my life. Next day called in, explained the concern. Employee promised a call from Manager. Never called. Never will go back.
Food and service are very good, most of the time. Of the 5 times Ive been here, two of the times made me not want to come back. Once was extremely slow service with everything, and once the food was just bad compared to usual for everyone at the table.
Sat at the bar for lunch. Anna was a bartender an was amazing. She provided great recommendations on what to have food and cocktails. Service was on point! Everything was delious! We willl be back.
Diner on Sunday am and had Blackened Fish tacos, the Grouper special. They were the best fish tacos I’ve ever had! Recommend!
Love this as a hang out. Best Cuban sandwiches on the planet. Great Sunday oyster specials and they made fantastic hot sauces.
It is always delicious and the service is always good
They accommodated our every need. Dinner sets for lunch, among other special requests all to keep us as happy as possible. Not to mention that the food is fantastic and authentic.I would recommend them to anyone.
Service sucked. I thought they would have good service but no. Paying like seven dollars for just a piece of meat and 2 buns like what are you serious. No condiments no nothing just dry buns and meat. Never again.
Just an amazing selection of craft beer. Join their BPO (Beer Peeps Only) club! Food is also excellent but avoid boiled peanuts from anywhere...always avoid.
We didnt have food. Its a sports bar with an upscale feeling and vibe. Decent size place if you have a large party
First time! Food and atmosphere are great. Right at the tip of Historic Roswell. Country fried chicken and Shrimp and grits were great!
Nice burgers and beers selection, great stuff
My wife and I finally got a chance to stop into Roux on Canton about a week ago. It was about 12 noon and we beat the incoming lunch crowd. Our server (very cool guy with a gruff beard) convinced us to have a Pimms No. 1 Cup to start. They were amazingly refreshing. We then split a shrimp Po boy sandwich with homemade house chips. That was a mistake because after having one bite I wanted the whole sandwich! The sandwich was perfection - better than those Ive had in NOLA itself. The remoulade was truly savory and the shrimp were breaded just right for a po boy.The atmosphere of the restaurant is very laid back with cool music in the background (Phish, Widespread Panic, etc.).I cant recommend Roux on Canton enough and we cant wait to go back!
We came in for drinks and an appetizer. It was a great atmosphere and our server was very attentive and nice. We will definitely be back.
Ordered chicken tenders... adult size... proportions so small Id be embarrassed to even call it a Kids-Meal . Well never, ever order from here again...
The food was good, but the staff was very inattentive. Five waiters and waitresses standing around talking so that I have to wave to get their attention and then raise my voice so that the finally look over to do their job.
We occasionally come on Monday evenings for a nice, quiet night out and always enjoy it. This labor day was no exception. Bailey was very pleasant and attentive.
Food was amazing and the waitress was great. Stayed on top if everything g we needed and made great recommendations on everything from beer to appetizers to dinner
One word: Pimms Cup. I searched for MONTHS to find a local place that would serve pimms cups to no avail. Until one fateful day we went in for early dinner and BAM there is was on the menu. I fell in love. Their Pimms Cup is amazing. Very fresh, the perfect summer drink for men and women, makes me think I should be at a Polo Party wearing a sundress and men decked out in seersucker. Anyway, you must go and have one of their specials. I have been thoroughly impressed with a lot of their dishes, and most of the time their specials are my favorite dishes. Make it a priority to try this place out at least once! Oh and they also serve hot, fresh Beignets after dinner.
Although we were very excited to try this place it is unfortunate that we were unable to get ANY service. We waited 15 minutes plus and were not even served drinks or waters. The environment was nice but the lack of service when we visited put a HUGE negative image of the place in our mind.
Delicious burgers on Canton Street in Roswell, GA. I had the Gouda burger with popcorn okra side and my friend had the vegetarian burger with sweet potato fries. Vegetarian burger falls apart in your hands so get creative with fork and knife.
As far as service and overall good vibes go Roux on Canton is THE leader on Canton Street. The beer is always hoppy and fresh, and the food is excellent. Proprietor Zach Bramblett is a visionary, and always evolving his menu and drink menu to cater to customers tastes and stay ahead of the curve.
Had a nice dining experience here last week. The food was amazing and the customer service was top notch. I will come back!
Great oysters but $20 for a dozen, are you kidding me? The place is really unique and has a nice patio but the food is not worth what they charge
Wonderful atmosphere for smaller to mid groups featuring an expansive menu with a Cajun flair. I loved the quinoa salad - unexpectedly amazing!
The best mussels ever! Try them in the tomato cream sauce. Delicious and service and atmosphere very laid back.
Roux is one of my favorite restaurants on Canton Street. I initially came in for the friend pickles bit Ive continued to come back for the great food and amazing service.
Quaint atmosphere. Friendly & attentive service. Tasty food (muscles, crab cakes and crawfish poboy).... Good draft selection. Only downside: no coffee or other hot beverages.
Got their $20 jambalaya. Zatarains from the box is better. Their rice was way over cooked. Lots of food though.
Great food, lots of good beer choices and the service is good too. The only small negative is that the place is on the small side and can feel too tight for me personally.
Jalapeño shrimp and grits blew my mind. The fried green tomatoes likewise performed irreparable damage to my brain matter. So good. The beignets were also a awesome.
This place not only served up the best meal Ive ever had in the fish tacos featuring feta & guacamoleW/hushpuppies on the side /they also provide a elegant atmosphere and entertaining band wed&Fri. love at first sight
New Orleans style food and good service. Parking seems to be the only issues here as it was mostly pay to stay.
The gumbo, red beans and rice, fried pickles, and BBQ chips were all very good. Seating is a bit crowded but service was friendly and efficient.
Great food, great service and free birthday beignets! Loved it! Just wish they had more options on the menu.
OMG. Seafood is delicious. Try the Char-grilled Oysters; the Mussels or the Seafood Risotto. All of it, to die for. I will be back again and again. Yum 😋
Great burgers! I love the quinoa bowl. Decent beer selection. A good place to go in downtown Roswell.
Love the atmosphere of the restaurant. Cozy and the food is awesome! For dinner definitely get the salmon with cheddar jalepeno grits!
Always great see food, nice vibe & ambience. I tried their jambalaya & shrimp po boy and both were really good.
Update. Many things have changed. Burger was different, roll was different, fries are not the same. From a previous 5 star to an average place. Disappointed.
The boiled peanuts, seafood pasta, catfish were great. The bartender even made awesome chocolate martinis to celebrate the evening
Food was wonderful but pricey for gastropub fare. Service was slow given it was a very busy day and they seemed understaffed. Ive had better food for less in the area
Good appetizers but service was slightly slow. Still didn’t take away from the good experience.
Food is great. Little pricy but if you’re ok spending a little more for quality and a nice place to go here’s a good spot for it
Really good place with excellent service. Cuban sandwich was awesome as were the beignets
Roux is amazing! We love this place. They have a great beer selection and of course amazing food. The first place we thought to brig out of town guests!
Very cool trendy place in Downtown Roswell. Friendly staff, and the cajun cooking is excellent. Parking is tough and usually costs $5.00.
We were able to sit down quickly on a Saturday and get our oysters in no know. Will recommend based on these facts.
I am a Restaurant Managing Partner and would be SUPER lucky to have Courtney on my team! Service, food and beer were ALL amazing!!
It was my first time in Roswell, and my first time trying southern food and it did not disappoint!!! The food was TRULY DELICIOUS!!! 👌I hope I can go back soon ❤️
Always like sitting outside here during Sunday oyster happy hour.

2022-05-25It 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!

2021-12-07Came here to grab a quick lunch during a Saturday and have no complaints. The service was wonderful, food delicious and the location created a nice atmosphere. We got the lobster roll with mac and cheese and chargrilled oysters (comes in counts of 3 and has 3 flavors available) to share. Each of us also ordered burgers for ourselves with fries. The fries were nice and crispy. We will definitely come back!

2022-04-27I 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 shouldve 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.

2022-03-03The 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.

2022-03-08Went 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.

2022-03-20Enjoyed 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. Id eat there again anytime!

2022-06-23My 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 were 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. Im 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.
