Roux Restaurant

We visited this restaurant while in town for business. Since we are from Louisiana, we were looking forward to a taste of "home". I will say the hostess was very polite and prompt. However, that's where the good news ends. We were there for an early dinner about 6PM. Our waitress' entire vocabulary consisted of one word....."Cool". I had the etouffee and my husband had the fried catfish. The roux was much too thick. While a thin roux is awful too, this roux just wasn't good. The fried catfish had a good batter, but the fish itself was left completely unseasoned and tasteless. It was a little too early in the evening to sample the music, but hopefully it is better. But i won't go back to find out!

I discover Roux while surfing Citysearch for an after work spot with my co-workers. We picked a fun spot with a good crowd that serves quality Cajun appy's and fun cocktails. We all ordered Huricanes which seemed to be the daily special and sampled the fried tomatoes, fried pickles, oysters and the small sliders/burgers. Everything met or beat expectations as a few of the dishes were new to me. Good music was being played and the evening was fun. Roux will now be in my afterwork rotation and a must for dinner.

What a GREAT place! I was in Austin on Monday and went to this bar/ restaurant for happy hour. They have a new hapy hour menu with items like fried tomotatoes ( yumm) 3 different kind of burger sliders ( I like the bacon chedder ones) and this HUGE 60 oz drink that WAS QUITE ALOT OF FUN! When they brought it out for my boss with 4 straws in this huge fish bowl glass all of us broke out laughing. Needless to say we had a great time, they have a great atmosphere and it is fantastic for large groups or if there ar eonly two of you they have a fantastic people watching open window patio. Go in and check out there new happy our menu and ask the owner why fied pickles... he will be the first to tell you they are soo good they are bad :)

I went to Roux on 6th St. the other day for happy hour. They recently re-designed their menu and have ALOT more to offer in terms of menu items and specialty drinks. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual and their location on 6th St. is really convenient. I ordered the oysters and was really impressed with the size of them. They were HUGE compared to a lot of other downtown seafood restaurants and less expensive too! I like the new menu items like the Fried Green Tomatoes and the mini-Hamburgers. I will definitely pay Roux another visit and will try them for dinner next time.

Went here after work with a group--had great food & drinks--I think they could add more food specials to the happy hour menu BUT what they had was good (just a little more variety). I had the Hurricane and was very pleased not too sweet and I could taste the liquor without fear of getting blasted off of only one. The owner or manager came by our table and was very pleasant. He wanted to make sure that we were having a good time and enjoyed out time with them. We all did!
