The food was good except they left off a side & the girl on the phone was condescending and also did not include the sales tax with the refund. I would give a 4.5 for the food and a 1 for service. read more

Had an amazing dinner here today. We were a large party, but we got seated right away. Our server was the best. Annalise, was so incredibly attentive!! Our food was delicious, everyone was happy with their choice of food. Annalise took it over the top. She was constantly asking if we needed anything, answered questions about the menu, made recommendations. So awesome! We will be back! read more

So so good. Amazing service. Cozy environment. Love the drink specials. Smaller space so come early in case they get busy. read more

We can here on a Monday night for dinner and had no problem getting a table for our party of 4. We could have sat indoors or outdoors and it was a nice night so we sat along the sidewalk. It was great people watching. Our server took some time to get with us and the service was pretty slow given the few people who were there. We ordered the deviled eggs and wings for appetizer. The wings are $1 each from 6-9pm on Mondays. The hot honey is a good sauce, but the wings were undercooked. The deviled eggs were great though. For my entree, I had the Roux Bleu burger. It was a big burger that had a fried jalapeno, bacon, lettuce, and aioli. The fries that came with it were heavily seasoned. All in all, a good meal, but there are better places on Canton Street. read more

It 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! read more

Kinda saddened by this, I used to love this place. It's located on canton street in downtown roswell, I usually park at city hall and walk over. Otherwise parking nearby is a fee. The restaurant is kind of small, with some outdoor and bar seating. It has a rustic feel. I went on a Saturday night and was able to get a seat at the bar, which was great. The bartender was very attentive and nice. I got Diet Coke which tasted bad and he replaced it from a different fountain acknowledging the one at the bar isn't good. Guess they just test peoples palette and ability to complain before serving the good stuff haha! We ordered oysters as an appetizer which tasted good. I ordered Cajun chicken pasta and my friend ordered the shrimp and grits. I was also craving sweet potato fries so got that on the sauce with a side of remoulade. I don't ever recall their sweet potato fries being dusted in cinnamon sugar and it was not mentioned in the description on their menu. Obviously, cinnamon sugar and remoulade is disgusting, but if I had known it came with cinnamon sugar on it I would have asked for them salted instead. Sweet potato fries are plenty sweet to me without added sugar, but I know that is personal preference! Some people have strong feelings about this so I believe it should at least be noted on the menu. The other sad thing is the remoulade tasted like straight jalapeño. I know their sauce didn't taste that way in the past and I didn't care for the change. Lastly, the Cajun chicken pasta had a very generous helping of chicken, but the sauce was so buttery, it was too rich for me. I thought I'd give the okra a go and it was ok, but I would prefer bell pepper like a traditional Cajun chicken pasta. My friend got shrimp and grits and she enjoyed it! She said it was very flavorful and a little spicy. Overall, I was saddened by my first visit back in some years, the flavors aren't what they used to be. I am very much missing the crab cake sandwich, but with the old remoulade! But I genuinely appreciate the good service by the bartender. read more

Great food, good beer and nice ambiance. This was our first time at Roux and we had a really good time. The Po Boy was really nice especially with their Rouxinator. The curly fries were fresh and not too oily. My husband ordered a Roux Blue and enjoyed it minus the lettuce. The veggies had good garlic flavor. read more

Great specials - including dollar per oyster on Wed. Had good food and really good service. Somewhat hard to find parking on weekends. But worth a visit . read more

The food was awesome! I got the steak skewers with sweet potato and Brussel sprouts. Let me tell you it tasted incredible! The chips with the cheese dip was also incredible. Our server was so nice and engaging. She really made the place feel welcoming. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very in theme with the time of year. The Halloween decorations were cool, my daughter made a game out of trying to count all the fake spiders. It was a good time overall, I 100% recommend trying this place out. You won't be disappointed read more

The bestie and I stopped in after a long day of errands. We were both famished. She wanted some seafood so this is where we ended up. After looking the menus over several times I distinctly remember asking what made her pick this place. Oysters. They have a happy hour special for raw oysters and she had 8 minutes to participate. She was already ordering some but added the raw ones to take the deal. Hmmm...not a oyster fan so I continue to comb through the menu. We ordered an appetizer so I continued to look while I sipped on my drink. Which was really good btw!! The Dip: spinach, artichoke, white, Gouda and parmesan cheeses that comes with pita bread and tortilla chips. The ingredients sound amazing together! I expected an explosion of flavors but overall the dip was pretty good. The tortilla chips tasted home made and had really great flavor and crispness to them. Shrimp basket: fried shrimp, hush puppies and coleslaw. The bestie said it had zero seasoning on it, not even a trace of salt. That's disappointing because the shrimp were very large and looked so good! She didn't eat much of her dish and said the hush puppies were the best thing she had. Fish tacos: blackened tilapia, avocado, coleslaw, cheese and jalapeño lime aioli. It was the sauce that made me order it and the reviews!! Two tacos and it comes with a side, I chose fries. The most flavorful thing about the dish was the avocado. Don't get me wrong, I love avocados but if that's the most flavorful that tells you everything you need to know. Everything was bland, luckily the tilapia didn't have a "fishy" taste but still wasn't good. I saw the aioli but couldn't taste it. I like to give the disclosure that I can cook, I know what seasons pair well with dishes so I can be pretty picky. As I mentioned, the reviews for this dish were good so go for it. Maybe it was an off day? Maybe we were too hungry? The restaurant was described as creole but creole it was not. Decent vibe, good service and I definitely enjoyed my drink. Check it out and see what you think. read more

Stepped in here around 7:30 Saturday night. No reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant is small both inside and with a few tables outside, so we were lucky to get a table. We each had a cocktail. I had the mezcal and pineapple one. It was definitely watered down. Could have been great if not for that fact. We started with the pimento cheese fritters. It came with 5 fritters, homemade tortilla chips and pepper jelly. Stellar! But who doesn't love pimento cheese anything?? No idea why the tortilla chips were there, but I'm not complaining about it. They were yum. For dinner I had the fried chicken tacos. Tasty. Decent portion size. I only ate one taco. It came with a side, and I had the cheese grits. Very good. Service was as expected. No complaints even on a busy night. The only low point was the cocktail. Maybe just stick to beer here. Other than that, I will be back. read more

My new favorite place. Looking forward to going back soon. Had the steak which was great and hard to find elsewhere. Highly recommend if not sure. read more

I came upon this restaurant while driving through Roswell. I checked the menu online and had to have the jalapeno shrimp and grits! There did not disappoint! I also ordered a side of red beand and rice w jalepeno added as am app- omg delicious!!! Overall good experience- docked it one star bc i arrived 10 min before dinnertime (did not see that on menu) and it was slow....but the waiter had me wait to plave my order bc they weren't serving dinner yet. Also the waiter was nonchalant during my visit, checked in only once and didn't really seem interested to help. read more

For a little solo dinner, I loved Roux! It would be a good date spot, too. The menu is good and full of fresh food.I was able to snag a seat outside on a beautiful day and enjoy the hustle and bustle of downtown Roswell. I ordered the brussel sprouts as a starter. They had cranberries and I think a bit of bacon. They were in a balsamic sauce, which was a little too tart for my taste. I also ordered the farmers salad with shrimp. It was fantastic! It has sweet potatoes on it, which I admittedly picked most of them off, but the rest of the salad was so great. The ambiance was beautiful and the staff was friendly. Can't wait to return! read more

Canton Street in downtown Roswell has lots of good choices when it comes to eating. My girlfriend ate here recently, and highly recommended it. Super casual ambiance with a long bar, small tables. The chairs were not super comfortable with the wood, but then I just had some injections in my proximal hamstrings a couple days ago, so that didn't help matters. Roux touts itself as a Southern comfort food restaurant with lots of craft beers and certain nights, live music. I wasn't crazy about their wine list, but again, I think their focus is more on beers, which seems to really have taken off lately. They offer catering, and take resos, which is a good idea on busy nights, because the bar was packed and there isn't a ton of seating like most places along this street. I can imagine even a picky eater can find something here. Lots of stuff to choose from including oysters, salads, deviled eggs, pretzel with beer cheese, to entrees like salmon and shrimp and grits to burgers to sandwiches to tacos. Quite the variety. I decided on the tacos, because well, I love tacos. They had a sweet potato taco, which interested me, so I went with that. I asked for a side of avocado, and that really made the taco extra good. Along with that, my friend ordered hush puppies, and whatever sauce came with that was rocking! I used it up on taco, and then some. Fries were pretty good. I was bummed they had Hunt's ketchup though, but maybe they've improved something because it actually tasted pretty close to Heinz this time. Service was fine, ambiance is very low key, chill, divey-kinda. Apologize for not taking more pictures, but I guess I was focused on the FOOD. read more

Great food and great service! Sometimes parking is hard to deal with but worth it every time.

JD behind the bar is great always super friendly! Food here is very good! We like the bar a lot and go as frequently as we can!

Food was too expensive for the quality and hardly any place to sit. This place has potential however the owner has no vision for it.

Rounding up to a three but here is my breakdown: Service 2.5 Drinks 2.5 Food 3 We sat outside. They had the heaters on which was nice on a windy night. Took about 10 minutes after we got our waters for the waitress to come back to take our drink and app orders. Drinks were very watery and the food runner coughed on our app/table when dropping off our app. For entrees we had the fish tacos and the Cajun pasta. The pasta was not Cajun at all, but the tacos were very filling. The shining star was the jalapeño grits and the pimento cheese fritters. Overall the food was good, not sure if I would return because of the service and then sub par drinks. Certainly not worth the price on the bill. read more

I am writing this review based simply on trying to make a reservation. The link online doesn't work, they are not listed with Open Table, and when I called, the mailbox is full?! Would like to try this place and have no problem walking up and putting my name on a list, but if you advertise you take reservations and then a reservation cannot be made, that isn't a great start to encouraging people to come visit you. read more

The outdoor patio is adorable and decorated for the holidays, but we sat inside because it was a colder night. The inside is welcoming, casual and unassuming - jeans or cute outfit appropriate. Our server, Isabelle, was an absolute gem. She was super patient with my GF questions, offered to double check everything for me (and did), informed me that bread is cooked on the same surface as the shrimp I ordered in case I had celiac and didn't bat an eye when I asked if she would ask the chef to cook my shrimp "well done". The shrimp and grits were flavorful, a decent sized portion, had just the right amount of cream (not too heavy like some places), were topped with thinly sliced char grilled onions and bell peppers and instead of having andouille or another type sausage, I think the pork flavor came from small bites of bacon. I had their version of a NOLA hurricane so I can't be 100% sure. It packed a punch and was fruity without tasting like processed sugar. BTW - the shrimp and grits did not have any tomato sauce in them (I like them both ways) and I did enjoy Roux's different take on seasoning them with the char grilled veggies that easily blended into the grits to have with each bite. We went early - maybe 6:00 and while the bar was full, the tables were empty. By the time we left an hour later, the tables were full. I appreciate that Isabelle split our check in half and my receipt came with pre-calculated tipping options and, of course, a space for a "custom tip". I practice brutal honesty so I will include that while our table looked clean and was set with silverware, the top of the table was a little sticky on my side. I didn't bother mentioning it to Isabelle because I hadn't seen my friend in 5 months and was too busy talking. I know if I said something it would have taken care of it right away. I did notice daily drink specials on a chalk board by the bar. Roux seems like the kind of place I could go to on my own and feel comfortable. Thanks for the good meal and excellent service, Isabelle!!! read more

Awesome little spot!! Great specials (Wednesday half off old fashions) and even better food. I ate the Buffalo chicken tacos and wow! So tasty and fresh. I also recommend their homemade creamy balsamic dressing; unbelievable. Curly fries were super tasty as well. 5 stars. read more

I came here with a few friends on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. I had to admit this was a place I never knew existed. It's located in historic Roswell where parking is always a mess. I ended up parking in the empty lot next to Pastis restaurant for $5. Some of my friends found some street parkings for free but I have to admit I don't know how to parallel park. The restaurant is located literally right next door to the 1920 Tavern. In fact if you sit outside you are literally sitting next to some of the patrons from the tavern. The place is tiny and so we ended up sitting at the bar which was fine because we didn't want to sit outside since it was so humid. (we needed air conditioning) I got the following Chicken salad croissant sandwich $9.00 (5 stars) Sweet potato fries $2.00 (5 stars) I tried my friend's stuff too. She got the following Grilled Buffalo chicken tacos $10.00 (3.5 stars) Cheese Jalapeno grits $3.00 (5 stars) I thought my sandwich was the best. The mayo tasted homemade and the chicken was tender and juicy. The croissant was also homemade and had a slightly crunchy buttery bottom....delectable....the sweet potato fries had a sass to it and a nice crunch....all around a very enjoyable lunch... My only complaint would be parking but they have no control over that but luckily the food more than made up for it.... read more

Have eaten here a few times. It's hit or miss. Went for a weekday lunch with two other ladies. Service was good. Some of the food was great, like the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese appetizer. But the gumbo was a big disappointment. Pale roux and mostly rice, little to no shrimp even though it was the large size. Whoever plated that should have been ashamed of themselves. read more

A small whole in the wall bar with a Cajun twist is what you'll find at Roux on Canton. The inside has a few tables available as well as bar seating, they also offer patio seating which is right on the main downtown street in Roswell. We were exploring the town and when looking for a quick lunch Roux menu stuck out for the wide variety of seafood and other bites. The waitress recommend the "dip" as an appetizer, I see why this dish is just called "the dip". It's a mashup up cheese dip and spinach and artichoke dip that is served with soft and baked pieces of pita. This is a must must try! Such a good combination and it was the perfect size for an app at lunch time. We both had the lobster rolls as our main dish and they were everything expected and more! Super fresh lobster with a light mayo base, *chefs kiss* I'm still thinking about this roll! read more

Went on a whim as we were in the area and found street parking on a Thursday evening. We arrived about a half hour before the kitchen closed but that was not a problem. Our server was outstanding offering some great suggestions -- we ended up with a smash burger (really good but not a traditional smash burger) and a Po'boy. Even though the kitchen was closing our server surprised us with beignets for dessert. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful waitstaff, and really good food. read more

Best Cajun food in GA. And great service it was very much so great. We all had a great time

Ate at the bar and the bartender should be the source of your ranking. He wasn't nice or helpful. Ordered a salad that was fine. Basic drink was not good, his grumpy attitude was an eye roll, his unhelpful nature was unappealing. I guess hire more attractive bartenders. Not even anything special to look at. Sorry. A bartender is the epicenter of the bar. Needs to have some super talent. If they fail at everything that's a problem. read more

My Margarita and the celery with ranch was the best part of it. My husband and I were so disappointed. My husband had gumbo and I had wings. The gumbo was horrible, he said. He had about 3 spoonfuls of it...trying their hit sauce to see if it would add flavor to it but he couldn't eat more than that. He did enjoy the celery and ranch dip that came with my wings. My wings were bland and super hot (heat) but not much of a flavor. Not good. We really were hoping the food would be delicious. We may stop by for a drink if nothing else is open, but no food. read more
