Kharla had the menu memorized and gave my first experience at Rouxpour very pleasing. And the oysters were the best.

I don't know why it took me so long to come here. This Rouxpour (there are more than one) is located adjacent to Memorial City Mall on the Gessner side of the mall near the old ice rink. Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion. read more

I don't even live in Houston, but my LOVE for Rouxpour is real. I've only been during happy hour, but they do. not. miss. The vibes? Incredible. The music? YEAH, they understood the assignment. The gumbo is finger‑licking good -- argue with somebody else about it. I get the seafood version minus the sausage, and I clear that bowl every time. The Chargrilled Rockefeller? That's the one you call your mama about. Big, flavorful, perfect. And the deviled eggs... listen. I don't even like deviled eggs, but these? My mouth is literally watering thinking about them. Smooth, creamy yolk, perfectly seasoned shrimp on top -- a combo I didn't know I needed. The crab cakes? Chef's kiss. Packed with fresh crab, and that aioli is doing exactly what it needs to do. The only miss for me was the crab and asparagus -- it just wasn't giving. No flavor, no cohesion... just no. The crème brûlée is delicious, but I'm still wishing they made beignets. Now the drinks? Top 2 and not number 2, do you hear me? The Mexican Martini and the Texas Blueberry Martini -- TEA. (Yes, the little tea‑finger gesture is happening.) And the staff? Amazing. I actually found out I was laid off while I was sitting at happy hour, and the way they comforted me... You would've thought they'd known me for years. They turned one of my hardest moments into something warm and memorable. I'll never forget that. Rouxpour has my whole heart. read more

The service bad... Food was not good... I paid $246 for a meal that could've been eaten at Luby's... it was my wife's birthday... I even let them know that and it was just unremarkable They offered nothing They gave us a service fee of 35 dollars (gratuity) and we were just perplexed We didn't have a choice in the service fee because it was built in the meal. I've seen this on large parties but for two people it was just bad... I should've just took her to a steak house... They would've taken great care of us... Instead we got this unfortunate experience.... My wife went into the restroom And three girls were literally doing their braids... Curling their hair She couldn't even wash her hands I could go on and on... Just BADDDDD all the way around read more

Sad that I learned this is a small chain as I am someone who tries to avoid chain-type restaurants. However, the food was incredible and would recommend. Came with a big group for mom's birthday and they were able to accommodate us including cutting cake. read more

I had a fantastic dining experience at this Rouxpour that I didn't even know existed until I was invited by someone to dine. Only knew about the Sugar Land location. But this one served to be good as well. Food was good, always have to get the oysters. We also ordered pasta dish, bacon wrapped jalapeños and plenty drinks. Service was awesome. Ended up going around our birthdays and our waitress and one other waiter sang HBD to us. She also brought out bread pudding topped with ice cream with a candle. I'm not a fan of bread pudding so idk how it tasted. read more

Came for my friends birthday. Easy to make a reservation and be seated. They do have a dress code to be mindful of. Our server Sasha was not the most attentive, we did have to ask for her several times. However Kenny was very helpful, gave great suggestions and was very kind. Our food was IMMACULATE! Everything that was suggested was a great portion, well seasoned, and great temperature. I personally had the oysters and the lamb chops and easily some of the best in Houston!! The ambiance was pretty quiet and nice. Based off the food alone I will be back, but mindful of the service. read more

We had a great experience at Rouxpour on Friday! We were seated right away since it wasn't crowded. Happy hour offered fantastic deals on appetizers and drinks, so we started with those. I had deviled eggs with double protein, while my partner enjoyed bacon-wrapped jalapeño peppers with boudin. Both were delicious, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. For our entrées, my partner had pasta, and I had blackened chicken. These were also cooked perfectly and had generous portions. The drinks were excellent too! Rubin, the night manager, was a wonderful host and encouraged my fiancé to try the grilled oysters, which he surprisingly enjoyed, despite being a picky eater! We will definitely return; the food, service, and ambiance at this place are fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone looking to unwind for the weekend, enjoy a casual outing, or have a special date night! read more

We visited RouxPour on a Monday night, so it was a bit empty but still lively. Our server was attentive and knowledgable. We were Celebrating my mom's birthday. We enjoyed great appetizers like crab cakes, fondue and deviled eggs. Half of the group tried the Zydeco Chicken, the rest of us had the Etouffe and Flounder. The portions were generous and tasty. But we saved room for dessert, so we tried the decadent chocolate cake and the creamy and delicious creme brûlée! It was a great night and we will return! read more

The Rouxpour was absolutely amazing from start to finish. First of all, the space is super cute. We had a party of six and were seated on the patio, which I was a little unsure about at first, but the breeze and the sound of the nearby fountain made it surprisingly peaceful. Plus, it was great for people-watching with folks constantly coming in and out of the busy restaurant. Our server, Eric, was really attentive and took time to walk us through the menu, pointing out a few of the fan favorites. The whole menu leans into that New Orleans influence, and it definitely delivers. I started with a hearty Caesar salad topped with fresh Parmesan, but I swapped out the dressing for their Creole vinaigrette. I don't know what's in it exactly, but it was tangy and vinegary just how I like it. For an appetizer, I had the crab and crawfish bisque. It was thick, creamy, and rich. Even on a warm summer evening, I didn't mind. My main dish was the crab-stuffed flounder, which had a super generous amount of fresh crab and came with roasted broccoli, purple potatoes, and white potatoes. Every bite was full of flavor and really filling. I wish I had saved room for dessert, but that just means I'll have to come back. The Rouxpour is officially on my list of go-to dinner spots when I want something a little special. The service, the food, and the overall vibe made it a perfect night for our celebration. read more

One of my favorite HH spots. The menu has changed over the years but they still offer a few of my favorite items on the menu. You won't go wrong with the Cucumber Blueberry Martini, trust me! The oysters are soooo delicious too! I've tried a few other items on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Service is pretty quick and the staff are all welcoming.

$30-40 Had our mother's day dinner here this evening. Let me tell you, I was SO disappointed. Save your time an money literally go anywhere else or a better location of this restaurant baybrook mall rouxpour has never failed me. Our server was ridiculously rude. So much I was shocked. Never asked our drink order or told us the special. Not even a smile,eye contact or introduction. We waited for 15 minutes before anyone spoke to us, when we did our server she brought waters to the table and left with out asking our drinks or appetizers. I definitely wanted to het a drink from the bar but seeing how much of a headache it would be i decided giving this place more of my money just wasnt the move for me. We had to ask for our soda after out entrée were served. Food was mediocre definitely not worth the price for quality or portion. We were seated in the dining room, but what was apparent that the bar absorbed priority service. We were checked on 3 times. My issue is mainly with the quality of table service. Since gratuities 15% is included the service must reflect quality and that is just not happening. At the end of the meal I asked to speak to a manager and our waitress came back to the table as if she was I told her I was unhappy about service and why. Minutes later the actual manager walked by the table adjacent , I flagged her down asking if she was the manager. Apparently if I hadnt done so I wouldn't have talked to a manager at all. I explained how rude our server was, that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone especially after asking to speak to management and literally being ignored. I said would be leaving a review. No offer of consideration was made. The only person to be kind at all was a separate waitress who checked on us after everything, who had been paying attention to the situation, she offered to get us to go sodas, apologized, and the only staff member wished me a happy mother's day. Kindness is not hard especially when gratitudity is included into the check. If I could post a picture of the food I would. read more

I've been contemplating writing this review. I went here for my 26th birthday. Wanted to splurge on a nice meal! my waiter " Andrea S. " was so passive aggressive and not knowledgeable with the online menu. Only the paper menu. My husband was trying to order a meal he saw the photo on the online menu. She didn't help us understand anything. It's like she knew tip was included so she didn't care at all. my husband went to ask if they had anything special for birthdays. I'm not sure which waitress he spoke to but he said they told her " no. We don't do that. We've lost too much money doing birthday stuff for people. " .... Ok... anyways we ordered the deviled eggs , my first experience with these were amazing. This time. Salty . Rockefeller oysters were cold and the bread was also soft and cold but tasted burnt ? I ordered the pasta. Didn't even finish it. This experience ruined my 26th birthday. I wish I had dinner somewhere else $100 down the drain and a day I can't re do was ruined. This was a DEVASTATING experience. wanted to have a "fancy " meal and made to feel like I didn't even belong there. Mind you. I went on my ACTUAL BIRTHDAY FOR THIS. like the DAY OF. Insane read more

First time checking out the Memorial city branch for a quick business lunch. I used to frequent the Sugar Land location (there are 4 total in Houston). We did a few appetizers and they came out quickly, service was efficient and attentive. I tried out this snapper with blackened shrimp combo and had it customized with the marinara sauce and it came out great, Fish and shrimp were both flavorful, seasoned well without being too overwhelming. Parking is a plenty in this location sharing the lot with Memorial city mall, they also have a patio with TVs to watch sports. Atmosphere can be busy but not loud. Good spot if you're craving Cajun for business lunch or date night. They even have brunch on the weekends! read more

My husband is really over them, but it came highly recommended and he said he was a proper old fashioned how it should be made. Overall we will definitely be back to dine for lunch or dinner.

I saw that Rouxpour had a Happy Hour for oysters so I thought I'd give it a try! When I was reading other people's online review, it said that they had a dress code so just a heads up (I was wearing business casual). I ordered a dozen oysters, NOLA BBQ Shrimp, and an Ahi Tuna Tataki. The oysters were great! Aside from them being cleaned well, I loved how there were different kinds of toppings to choose from: lemon, horseradish, hot sauce, Mignonette, and an Asian-sauce (cilantro, thai chili peppers, soy sauce, and garlic). As for the NOLA BBQ Shrimp, I loved the creamy garlic mashed potatoes and the blackened shrimp but the NOLA BBQ sauce was a little too salty. Not to mention, their garlic bread could have been a little more crispy to add that texture but still, I enjoyed the dish. Last but not least, the Ahi Tuna Tataki is a refreshing dish and definitely a great choice for something healthier. The jalapeño and wasabi aioli on top gave the dish some heat so just a heads up! Aside from the great food, the servers were fast and attentive. I will let y'all know though, there is an automatic service charge of 15% which I didn't exactly mind paying since my servers did a great job during my dining experience. Overall, I enjoyed Rouxpour's happy hour and can't wait to come back and try their other dishes! read more

Update: my most recent experience at The Rouxpour was very dismal compared to what I am accustomed to expecting from them. The food was great, while the service was average at best considering our waiter was relatively new. In the past I was extremely fond of their old fashions, well apparently now they've moved to prepackaged old fashions which taste like garbage. I wasn't offered a fresh old fashion just a comp for the trash that was brought to me in a glass. They charge an automatic service fee of 18%. This was extremely disappointing still a beautiful restaurant with great food and lots of potential. Won't be going as often or making it a regular date night anymore read more

Sebastian... Was an amazing waiter! My husband and I made reservations to try it out and we enjoyed it. The ambiance of the restaurant alone was cozy, warm, posh like and overall welcoming. We were greeted warmly and chauffeured to our seats. We ordered a cool whisky flight for the hubby, and a blueberry martini for me which was delicious! I would recommend that martini (first) lol! We started with blackened shrimp (no pic) didn't realize until after the last good bite that I hadn't taken a photo. We also ordered the blackened salmon and chicken with crawfish sauce on mashed which all were scrumptious.

Man, there is just something about the Rouxpour that I love. At their price point, I can't experience it often, but if you want upscale cajun/creole food, you can't go wrong with their offerings. My favorite items here have to be their gumbo and boudin balls. The gumbo comes out thick, with a darker roux and more spice than you'll find at more casual places like Rajun Cajun or Boudreaux. I'm torn between whether I like this place or BB's more, but BB's is more classic cajun and I believe this to be more of a creole style. I could be wrong. The boudin balls are large, and while they are an appetizer, they could arguably serve as an entree if you start with a bowl of the gumbo. My wife and I end up splitting them whenever we come by to eat. Between two bowls of gumbo and an order of boudin balls, we can have lunch at a reasonable price point over here whenever we need a break. read more

I ordered a chicken & sausage gumbo bowl along with a bowl of étouffée. Flavors were great as usual like all the other times I've had this at multiple locations including this place. Although, both bowls were on the salty side today. What was weird is the bartender including a 15% service charge on the bill w/o saying anything. I ate alone during my lunch break at the bar with only 1 other couple at the other end of the bar. It was not crowded at all. After I asked him if that was a 15% tip, he confirmed it and said he can take it off. With the place not being busy at all & being a party of 1, I'm definitely not a fan of the tip being added to the bill for me. Especially when I'm not notified why it was added in the first place. It was almost like he was hoping I don't notice or something. read more
