    Creamy Pasta Rouxpour
    Chris L.

    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.

    My husband took me here for my birthday dinner after our date at The Alley Theater. It was really nice. When we arrived the restaurant was not too busy, we were seated right away. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice and upscale. It was not too noisy. Our waitress was really nice and accommodating. I ordered the grilled salmon with shrimp and brussel sprouts... really delicious! It was a really enjoyable experience. Note, they do not offer a free dessert for birthdays.

    Not really sure how this place would get under 5 stars. The food was amazing. Everything comes out hot and very flavorful. It is on par, if not better than Pappadeaux. Service by the servers, management and hosts is attentive and friendly. It's really cool to sit by oyster grill and watch the cool work!

    This burger had everything.. Beef, cheese, bacon, blackened shrimp, potato cake & an onion ring, topped with creamy gouda cheese sauce, jalapeño sausage & crawfish tails and a fried egg The food came out quick and our server was fun. Enjoyed eating on the patio and watching the kids play.

    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.

    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.

    Cajun Deviled Eggs

    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!

    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!

    I went here for a graduation reception and enjoyed the food. There was a preselected menu and I loved everything I chose. The shrimp and corn bisque was so good! I needed another bowl. The salmon was fresh and the crawfish and lemon butter sauce was good. The mashed potatoes and green beans were seasoned well.

    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.

    Zydeco Chicken
    Thomas H.

    Came here for a date night, and we enjoyed ourselves. Place wasn't too dim and wasn't too bright. It was just right! Service was great along with the food. I had the Zydeco Chicken and it was full of flavor. Everything about this place was great. When you leave, there's like a little green area. I'm guessing for kids to run around. It was late and no kids...so nice place sit out in the evening and check out the sky.

    Ask the Community - The Rouxpour

    Who gets the 20% Covid recovery fee?

    The staff. Most of it goes to your server and then They tip out to the rest of the staff (busboys, bar backs, bartenders, food runners, etc)

    The dress code policy states, "no cleavage". Exactly how much of my decolletage do you want to be covered? Based on the aesthetic of this restaurant, I would assume a nice garment. As a naturally blessed woman in 2022, please elaborate.

    My opinion - it's a "use discretion" and/or common sense type approach. It's still a family establishment, so based on that policy, I'd take away from that meaning no ta-ta's hanging out or barely there type attire...naturally blessed or not.

    Do you have to make a reservation?

    You don't HAVE to but I highly recommend it, especially Thursday through Saturday night. If you are going on a weekend/date-night I would say "Yes, you really should" just to be safe.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Hi Alexis! Yes, all of our patios are dog-friendly!

    Is it ok for kids to come to this resturant?

    Yeah! There's tons of space!

    Are the oysters sourced from the east coast or the gulf?

    The gulf!

    When I'm in town for work, I usually ask a client where I should eat. This time I got a long list…read moreof recommendations, but one place kept coming up again and again. "Start here." That was the right call. The campechana was the highlight. Fresh, layered, and well balanced. It felt like a grounded ceviche with depth, not just acidity. Plenty of avocado, clean seafood, good heat, and bright citrus. I would order it again without hesitation. The mesquite grilled oysters carried a nice smokiness while still letting the brine come through. The seared tuna was clean, properly cooked, and texturally on point. Service was excellent. I felt welcomed immediately, checked on consistently, and still given space to finish a couple of work calls at the bar. That balance matters when you're traveling. Nothing here felt overcomplicated. It's familiar coastal seafood, executed confidently and well. Not a destination meal I would fly for, but absolutely a place I will return to anytime I'm in Katy. Strong four star experience.

    This was our first visit to Goode Co. Seafood in a long time. Now we remember why it's been so long…read moresince the last visit. Ther service was very good. Both our server and the manager made sure we were taken care of promptly and courteously, which was great since we were celebrating two birthdays among the four of us. The ambience of the location was interesting with kind of a mid-century diner feel, but very clean. Overall, the food was underwhelming. We started with the fried green tomatoes, which were pleasantly non‑greasy but lacked seasoning, leaving them rather bland. One of the birthday guests ordered the mesquite‑grilled salmon, cooked perfectly to their preference. The other birthday guest had the fried seafood platter, which unfortunately suffered from the same lack of seasoning as the tomatoes. The mesquite‑grilled red snapper was overcooked and a bit dry, and the jumbo lump crab cake tasted overly bready. The highlight of the evening was the crab gumbo, which had balanced seasoning and stood out as the most flavorful dish of the night. Overall, we really wish the food had lived up to the prices and the service.

At your own risk, I guess. Food was overall average- went with seafood options which were well cooked but nothing to write home about. The grouper has too many sweet elements which I was concerned about when ordering- would have liked some savoury bite in there. Also was disappointed they didn't pack up my leftovers (got lost in communication I guess). The crab cake entree- to me the reads appetizer, which is what we did. But honestly one of the best crab cakes I've had. Sturdy breading but so much flavour and balanced well with the veg/salad it sits on. The 7 layer chocolate cake was perfectly balanced dessert as well. Not too sweet and loved the crispy/crunchy bits.

The original Houston K-town, or K-street along Long Point between Gessner and Blalock (and not the new establishments in Katy off I-10 and 99) has gotten an infusion of new restaurants since the 2010s that have come and gone. K-tang is a newer player on the block that has managed to come onto my radar AND overcome the inertia of going to the same place. More notably, it's become one of my two favorite Korean restaurants overnight. Yeah. I came here two days in a row, and our respective parties of four and three together ordered 11 items off the menu. I need to spotlight this menu that drew me in in the first place. The range is unprecedented. Their namesake highlights tang (pronounced tahng), or soups, but their standouts go way beyond soups, and they straddle the hot and cold items better than any other place I've seen in town. Service could be more attentive but is friendly. Appreciated the owner going around and asking how things are. Enough prelude. Here we go, in ascending order to greatness. Ratings take price into consideration. What I didn't try but was enjoyed by others: - Bulgogi Bibimbap / 불고기 비빔밥 My brother-in-law got this on our second consecutive day here. - Kimchi pork dohlsoht (stone pot). My sister-in-law got this and loved it. Gets that nooroongji (rice that slightly burns on the bottom) from the hot stone pot. Hard to go wrong with this. - Soondooboo (soft tofu) jjigae (stew) with kimchi and pork. I love that it comes out roaring boiling and stays piping hot - authentic. My brother-in-law in loved it so much that he lamented not living closer to K-Tang. What I did try myself: - I can't believe they serve munggeh (sea squirt) here across various dishes (sashimi, atop bibimbahp, atop naengmyeon). It's definitely an expert-level acquired taste, so both my non-Korean husband his brother found it absolutely disgusting, and I was not offended in the least. If you grew up eating this and miss it like me, this is a treasure trove. So while I don't recommend the sea squirt dishes to anyone else, I so appreciate that this section of the menu caters to the more native Korean audience. Definitely a 5/5 in my book. - Dduhkbokki: I didn't really like the flavor or the rice rice cakes in this (as opp to dduhk or "rice cakes" made of wheat, which have chewier texture) so I wouldn't get this again, but my husband enjoyed it. 2/5 - Boodae jjigae, or army soup, originating during the Korean War where SPAM and sausage met kimchi. The broth is nicely done and doesn't taste like ramen soup like it does at some places. I liked it but my husband didn't, so 4/5. - Bibim (mixed) naengmyeon (cold noodles, pronounced nangmyun): Hard to mess up this sauce, but they must make the noodle in house. 4.5/5. Curious about their mool (water) naengmyeon esp in this heat, but it's made with beet juice and without the beef base that I like it, so I haven't tried it yet. - Dogani (beef knee) tang (soup) feels like a misnomer given this dish has just the tendon and no knee cap served in it, but I do love the stickiness of that soup, which you get only when it's full of collagen. It's also hard to get the flavor and consistency this well, and I didn't taste anything synthetic. Yes, I had it in 90+ degree weather, and yes, I still enjoyed it, esp bc I sure as heck won't make it at home in this weather. 5/5 - Bulgogi jahpchae: Copious in amount and delicious. 5/5 - Kimchi pancake: Bar none the best I've had. I make a good one too, but this one's on another level. So chunky with potato bits or slices adding to the starch complexity, so that you get both the crispy edges and the comforting bites of pillowy potato. I don't know whether they included samgyeopsal (pork belly) fat into the batter or just cooked the pancake in it but it's a slam dunk with all those onion and kimchi slices on both flavor and texture. 6/5! - Marinated raw seafood: crab, abalone, salmon, and shrimp. This is what brought me to the restaurant, and it did not disappoint. They must have a high turnover because dashima (thick seaweed thus far bka by its Japanese name kombu, which is the ingredient of kombucha)-wrapped marinated salmon doesn't keep fresh for very long. But it's also unsurprising that they would have a high turnover, because it's so delicious in all its slightly gelatinous texture and sweet soy marinade flavor. I tried the big platter that has it all and decided I would get just the shrimp or salmon on repeat. 6/5 for the latter two. Sang this ode like a canary, and a happy one. Please keep doing well so that I can come back for more and more, K-Tang. Love you already. Plenty of parking.

    My wife and I were out late and decided we wanted to have Korean food. However, it was quite late…read moreand all of the Korean restaurants we normally frequented were already closed. Fortunately, we found the only Korean restaurant in the area that was open - K-Tang! I ordered the Army Stew, my wife ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap, and we were given an array of sides (barchan) that were all delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful in giving suggestions. I probably wouldn't have ordered the Army Stew, but our waitress said it one of the best things there. It was a good suggestion! If you're in the Sprint Branch area late at night (or in the daytime!) K-Tang is worth a visit!
