The crab claws were the star... flavorful, and seasoned just right with that classic Cajun kick. Paired it with a drink and it made for a super laid-back, satisfying brunch vibe. Ate on the patio bc if it's a pretty day, why not? Service was quick and friendly, which I appreciated since I was just popping in. Overall, a great go-to if you want something casual but still packed with flavor. I'll definitely be back when I'm craving seafood without the full sit-down commitment.

This gem of a restaurant is in the Patron Creek shopping center. The inside was very lively, and it seemed smaller than when we came last. We had a party of 6 people and were seated quickly. The server was super nice and shared his recommendations with us when we asked. My husband (the birthday boy) ordered the Voodoo Chicken, and I ordered the Redfish Rockefeller. Our friends ordered gumbo, shrimp and grits, pasta alfreadeaux, and I don't remember what the other person ordered. Everyone was very happy with their orders. My redfish was super flavorful and I cleaned my plate. You know when the conversation gets quiet, the food must be delicious! My husband wanted the Crème Brûlée cheesecake to go and he said it was tasty. The only issue we had was the length of time it took for our extra order to get processed. After a while, we learned the frying oil was being changed and it would take a while to heat back up. We thought that someone should have told us something earlier. But it all worked out. We definitely will be back!

My wife had Port of Spain's Curry Chicken and I had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken. Both were good and flavorful. The chicken was meaty, tender, and juicy. We both had "cabbage with soul" and fried sweet plantains for our sides. Both dishes came with sweet cornbread. The chicken was good, but the cabbage with soul and cornbread were the stars of the plate. Oh, man, that cabbage was mighty fine. We talked with the GM afterward and she said we have to try the Pork Chops with gravy and collards. When we make it back there one day we will do that. If you're in Hoover, give them a try.

I decided to try something new and ordered the Wicked Chicken based on her suggestion. It was delicious, full of flavor, and the portion was huge. I also had the bacon-wrapped sausage, which is always one of my favorites and never disappoints. The combination of great service, generous portions, and consistently good food is why I keep coming back. If you're looking for flavorful Cajun cuisine, Cajun Roux is definitely worth a visit.

Service = poor. Food = mediocre. Price = high. Server didn't offer water or bring any when asked…read more Food was brought out incomplete and wrong and never checked on until halfway through. Finally brought out the correct side after meal was finished and we refused it. The only thing they did right was take that off the check. Sign at the from says 'if you can't tip 20% then Cajun Roux isn't for you.' Well, if you can't provide even a basic level of service then you absolutely do not get a 20% tip. 0/10 would not recommend and will not be back.

My friend got the Fish Tacos with cabbage, charred corn salsa, and spicy sriracha sour cream, along with a side of fried spinach from their secret menu. The secret menu consists of about five items that are no longer on the regular menu, but they'll still prepare them if you ask. She said the fish was perfectly charred around the edges and absolutely delicious. Just make sure you check your teeth after eating the spinach! Our server, Kayleigh, did a great job taking care of us and made the experience even better. And congratulations to her--she graduates from cosmetology school next month! ‍ Wishing her all the best in her next chapter! Two great meals, great service, and another good experience!

Consistent 5-Star Excellence! Outstanding Food, Massive Portions, and Great Value…read more ​Every single time we visit this spot, they absolutely knock it out of the park. If you want a flawlessly executed steakhouse dinner in the Birmingham area without the pretentious price tag, this is your place. ​I ordered the 12oz ribeye with a baked potato, and both were cooked exactly to order. My wife started with their huge, fresh house salad before tackling the massive 16oz ribeye and a fully loaded baked potato. Honestly, the 16oz cut looked like something straight out of The Flintstones--it was beautifully charred, incredibly juicy, and absolutely massive. ​The service matched the stellar quality of the kitchen. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and kept my sweet tea topped off the entire night (which is no easy task!). ​We wrapped up the evening with a slice of chocolate cake. It was literally the size of a diner-style napkin dispenser--decadent, moist, and downright delicious. ​Budget-wise, it's a high-end steakhouse experience, so expect to spend a little money. However, compared to other premium steakhouses around Birmingham, their pricing is incredibly fair and easily on the lower end of the fine-dining spectrum. You get amazing portions, top-tier quality, and fantastic service. Highly recommended!

Carlos took great care of me and provided friendly, attentive service throughout my visit. I started with the Oyster Pot, which includes four raw, four Rockefeller, and four chargrilled oysters. It was the perfect way to sample each style. While all three were good, the chargrilled and Rockefeller oysters were the standouts for me. The Rockefeller oysters were my favorite, so I couldn't resist ordering another dozen of those. If you're an oyster lover and can't decide which style to order, I highly recommend starting with the Oyster Pot. Between the great food, the relaxing patio, and the excellent service from Carlos, I'll definitely be back!

I choose the air conditioning over the entertainment but from what I was able to hear the young lady singing is very talented. When I came in I was NOT immediately greeted. It took a while to be acknowledged but once I was seated I had a great experience. My server was great and the atmosphere is really nice. It's dark with flickering hanging chandeliers. The place was clean with people actively cleaning. I started things off with a strawberry cheesecake martini and it was so good I wanted to curl up in a corner and tell them to keep them coming. It was like a dessert in a cup so if sweet isn't your thing, definitely skip this one. It was, however, not sickeningly sweet. It was perfect. I got a cup of the gumbo yaya, which has shrimp, crab, chicken, and sausage. It was some of the best gumbo I have had in a while. It was perfectly seasoned and had a little kick. Next, I had one of their specialties, the NOLA Chicken. You can choose grilled or blackened chicken served on top of creamy mashed potatoes with diced tomatoes, green onions, and covered in a delicious creamy lobster sauce with a side of grilled asparagus. It was delicious. The seasoning was spot on and the chicken was tender. The lobster sauce made the dish. My only complaint with the dish was a single stalk of reedy asparagus but the others were tender. My last course was the bread pudding. I really wanted to say how delicious it was but it was just good, not great. It was made from Gambino bread and had a warm whiskey cream sauce and chocolate drizzle but the pudding was missing something. Fruit like raisins maybe? It was just a little too bland for me. I'm definitely trying the key lime pie next time. I recommend this place for a nice night out
