We visited this location on a Saturday afternoon to grab some food as it had advertise some yummy looking Poboy and other Creole dishes. I will say that going into this I know it would be a hard sale as my grandmother is from that region, and I grew up eating gumbo, Poboy and red beans and rice. I also travel to New Orleans every few years so I am keen on the flavor profiles. On this occasion, we got the bourbon beef Poboy and a side of the Royal gumbo, which does not have crawfish in it. Overall, the experience was modest at best. I did eat my po boy which had a very good bread and also the bourbon beef itself was OK. I did not enjoy the gumbo at all. The flavors did not feel right to me, but maybe somebody else would enjoy this. I would give this restaurant a 3.5 out of five stars, I will say that the options were very affordable and the restaurant was clean. I also like the fact that they had choices of hot sauce and in the eclectic side options, such as chips from that region, and then also soda with sugarcane in it. read more

Service is great and we love the place . For a little Cajun feel from New Orleans you got to stop in . We order ahead. read more

So I've never been to New Orleans but the food here is what I imagine it is like. I've had some Cajun food from other restaurants before but honestly did not even compare to the food here. The Seafood Etouffee had a good amount of shrimp and crawfish tails and was perfectly spiced, had a little kick without being overwhelming. Husband had the Andouille Sausage Po Boy and even though it was huge he demolished it. Food was so good, the decor matches the NoLa vibes, and they have a TV playing New Orleans Jazz. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area (and maybe even if you're not...) read more

This is mainly a takeout restaurant, but we were able to sit at one of the six tables. I had a truly delicious shrimp po boy. The maque choux I ordered had a good flavor but was disappointing as none of the vegetables seemed fresh. My husband enjoyed his jambalaya. read more

I had a shrimp poboy sandwich also that's not pictured. Restaurant was small but had a cozy aesthetic. Food was quality I really liked my sandwich and the red beans and rice I'd go back for those. My hubby's chicken was okay and the Mac n cheese was ok. We spent around $60 with this and two drinks which feels like a lot for a small casual dining restaurant but I don't mind paying for quality read more

NolaRoux is a spot that I almost missed while driving by. The restaurant is next to a gas station and surrounded by other buildings like it. The inside is fairly small, but it gives the vibes of a casual dining place where you can sit down and chat with some friends or take your food to go eat at home. They play what sounds like jazz music on the TV, the staff are friendly to the customers, and they sell merch inside. For the food, I ordered the full size bourbon street beef po' boy. It took around 15 minutes for the food to be ready after I ordered, and then I took it home to eat. The sandwich was very tasty. The beef was tender and juicy, and the vegetables and mayo complimented the beef very well. The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, which was a nice contrast to the fillings. I was also full afterwards and happy that I tried this place out. It felt a little expensive paying $16 for the sandwich, but I would recommend this place. I'm not sure how authentic the place is, but the food was good. 4 out of 5 stars! read more

Food was bomb - but cornbread was on another level ! 10/10 would recommend if you're craving some good southern cooking.

Went there and got the kickin chicken po boy. It was a decent po boy. Wish there was more chicken to it. Was thinking about getting the voodoo jerk chicken but the Bowl looked kind of small. The po boy was a decent size sandwich. Our food came out fairly quickly. The restaurant has some nice New Orleans decor. I'd come back and try the bowl read more

Had an order catered to the nuclear plant and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the food, especially the shrimp and rice tray. Highly recommend. read more

I love love love NolaRoux and have been coming in since not long after they opened. They did make the kickin chicken significantly spicier than before and my husband still orders it most of the time when we come. I went for the Michigan Muffuletta Po' Boy sandwich this time. Wait time was about 10 minutes and we ended up running to the car wash and coming back for our food. When we got home we got to eat our delicious sandwiches. We both got bottled drinks too and they were also really really tasty. Anyone that likes Cajun food, I'd highly recommend this place. Everything I've ever had on their menu has been delicious and the staff is super awesome. They are polite and quick. The prices aren't cheap, but a sandwich for $9-10 isn't so bad especially since they are sooooooo good. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Ordered a shrimp po boy and red beans and rice To Go. The Po' Boy had a good amount of well-seasoned shrimp, and remoulade sauce was delicious. The baguette roll that it was served on was fresh. The red beans and rice were fresh and tasted great as well. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great little find for lunch last week. Had the Seafood Etouffee and my colleague had the Po Boy. Fantastic and a lot of good hot sauces to spice things up. See you next time thru town. read more

The Michigan muffuletta was excellent, a couple hot sauces on the side were much appreciated.

For a fast food type of place it was pretty good. My husband had the jambalaya with shrimp and I had the shrimp po boy. Both were huge portions. Nice flavor. And they didn't use styrofoam to go boxes!!!! Yay! Will definitely return! read more

Fast and friendly. Food is always excellent and ready on time when we do carry out. We haven't eaten in, but I definitely look around bc and it's always clean. Never disappointed in the po' boys or the jerk chicken read more

What a unique fast service treasure. It's hard to find authentic Cajun. But my go-to is the muffuletta. Even harder to find. Their bread makes the sandwiches an event. Seafood Monica is a great non-sandwich option. I've had just about the whole menu and it's all killer, no filler. read more

The food was fantastic and the prices were great. I had the voodoo chicken and it had the perfect amount of heat. The king cake was also delicious! read more

Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! The boils are good but it wasn't my favorite -- I find you lose too much flavor when everything is cooked like that. This was a solid attempt, but other items are better. The jambalaya rice, however, was delicious, and can't wait to get it again. Bonus points for terrific cornbread. The place is cute and small, perfect little ambience. Solid service and pretty quick for large orders too. read more

A kinda out of the norm place, like a carry out, but thank goodness it has some seating. We had the gumbo and it was really amazing. I need to try the sea food broil - only on Saturdays The service was friendly, order at the food counter and then take it to your seat High praises for the chef, but I need to return to give it an honest rating read more

We were seeking the Lake Michigan shore at Silver Beach (where, incidently, I experienced a zany honeymoon in 1968) when we were confounded by numerous other souls seeking sun and sand and thusly blocking the road to sunny salvation from our grasp. Thus we sought out spicy nourishment at NolaRoux on Niles Ave in St Joseph. We were not turned away from our goal and stuffed spicy flavors into our awaiting mouth with greedy hands. "It burns so good!", we exclaimed as we quenched the fires briefly with ice water. "We need a milk shake", exclaimed my companion, as we manuvered our transport into a nearby Golden Arch franchise. Thus armed against gastro-reuptake, we set our GPS for home and safety once more. read more

Authentic New Orleans flavor! It's all in the roux! Small, casual dining. Mushroom ettofee was outstanding with dirty rice. Seafood gumbo was delicious! read more

The Fried Shrimp Po Boy was very good great flavors and textures on a quality bread. Portion size of the Ultimate Boil was good but the flavor could be pumped up a bit. It was Cajun Lite, no strong notes of flavor. Cornbread was on the sweet side, not typical southern style. However they list it as that on the menu. We would eat here again but avoid the boil in the future. Gave it a 3 but it is a 3.5 at best. read more

Nola Roux - OPEN AT 11 - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Saint Joseph, Michigan

The parking lot is hard to access at lunch is the biggest downfall. When you enter this restaurant. You are greeted with a warm welcome and explanation of any of the food. They do have gluten-free options and some vegetarian options. They also offer real Cajun sides such as red beans and rice and etouffee. If you want a good Cajun Louisiana type restaurant this is the place to go. The voodoo chicken is one of the recommended dishes. They also have friendly dishes for those that do not have an iron gut. The interior of the restaurant is pretty nice has some pretty Louisiana type Cajun feel. As far as drinks they are all bottled they do not offer any fountain soda. They do have disposable silverware and take out. You can also order online which is nice if you need to pick your meal up and go. I would recommend checking out this restaurant for a different taste of food and delicious. read more

Nola Roux - Gumbo and shrimp poboy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Saint Joseph, Michigan

Great service and really great quality and flavor shrimp and fixins on the shrimp po boy - especially for such a northern location! The only problem- and a big one - was that the bread was all wrong. Bread was too thick and big and dense and since they didn't carve out the insides, all the filling fell out the sandwich. Super messy and frustrating. Need a softer smaller French bread and need to pull out the inside to hold all the fixins! read more

Seafood Monica from NolaRoux It had a little bit of a kick and a lot of crawfish and shrimp! This was one of the only things I haven't tried yet on their menu and it is really good. Today was my cheat day from keto The rest of the family had: shrimp Po boy, hash brown po boy, dirty rice, red beans and rice I am now stuffed to the gills just from this one entrée! If you want to ruin your diet, this Cajun place is the best way to go LOL Yelp delivery was fast, too. This place is a gem. read more

Nola Roux - Seafood Monica was amazing - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Saint Joseph, Michigan

This place definitely hits the spot. I'm obsessed with Boiling Crab style crawfish places and this was the closest alternative in our area. I ordered the Shrimp Boil on a Saturday and an employee, covid mask on, brought it right out to the car. The flavor was excellent--buttery, garlicky, and spicy! I wish I had choices available to me for spice levels but beggars can't be choosers. I also ordered a side of their cornbread (soooooo delicious) and a side of the andouille sausage (a bit overcooked). I think the only disappointment from my meal was the corn on the cob that was in the boil. Tasted like frozen since it didn't have that crunch and nice sweetness to it. It was more of a chewy, waterlogged, meh corn cob. read more

Went here after spending the day at the beach. I pulled up yelp and this popped in my feed. Overall pretty good. I had seafood etoufee and my husband had a po boy. Both were pretty good Cajun eats for southwest Michigan. We dined in, wait wasn't long. Very small, but clean eating area and I assume they mainly do takeout. Would go again! read more

This place is my go to comfort food. Awesome food and service, and prices are reasonable. I love Nola Roux!

It's a tiny store front, but it comes with amazing food. We ordered the Shrimp Monica, the Cajun Sampler, cornbread and coleslaw. We loved it all. read more

Nice place, reasonably priced something different in southwest Michigan. Had the jambalaya and it was good

This place was delicious! My Miguel and I went there while waiting for a pickup order at Home Depot. We went as the doors were opening, the cornbread was moist and delicious. Miguel got the Kickin' Chicken Po'Boy with a side of Seafood Gumbo. I got the Jambalaya. It was delicious! It was worth the drive and we had a great day date! read more

Great, well prepared food. A small place with big flavor. Try the sampler with gumbo, beans and rice, and jambalaya. All excellent and no skimping on meat. read more

I heard this places opened and my guy and I had to try it out. We decided to go order and sit in the restaurant. While we were there, several people came in and picked up so it definitely seems like they have more people getting pick-up. We were the only ones to come in and sit down to eat the whole time we were there. We went around 5:30 on a Saturday night. You walk in and order and the bar and then you can go grab a seat. It is quite small-fits around 30 people I believe. When we first ordered we thought it might be a bit expensive but upon ordering the portions were well worth the money. Everything we had was yummy. I was surprised the jambalaya didn't have a bit more kick. I would love to see more variety in the etouffee! Will definitely pick-up and take home. From the other reviews- seems to be a great option. The man working was friendly. read more

Nola Roux - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Saint Joseph, Michigan

Love this new spot! [Atmosphere] It's called a "eatery" which describes it perfectly. Really cozy, max capacity of 32 people with really cool NOLA art and decorations all about. They play fun jazz music that really helps set the mood. Reminds me a lot of y trip to New Orleans a few years ago. [Food] Very tasty! I ordered the shrimp po-boy which was delicious. Love the sauce they had on it. Got a side of Mac n cheese which was pretty good too. Especially after adding their nice hot sauce. They have a rotating menu so I'm excited to see what they have next! [Overall] Definitely recommend this spot! Great for lunch or a dinner with 3-6 friends. read more

My oh my, we love NolaRoux. It could go up against the beloved Indianapolis Cajun uproot Yats any day which is, by the way, REALLY saying something. The menu is actually much larger than most cajun restaurants and noticeably vegetarian inclusive. French bread on the side was excellent, and the to-go Louisiana hot sauce was a very nice touch. Carry out is ready within 10 minutes. SO happy to have a new go-to restaurant in St Joe! read more
