Roux Raw Bar and Grill

I had previously visited Roux Raw Bar And Grill for their soft opening and was definitely pleased with all they had to offer. I have since anticipated going back for a visit and trying what the new menu had to offer.I consider myself somewhat a connoisseur of sorts especially when considering pancakes as it has always been a childhood favorite. I seen the sweet potato flapjacks on the menu and knew it was time to give them a test and to savor my sweet tooth, of course a to go dessert was in order as I decided on the fried cheesecake to tame my crave.Once I placed my order online, I recieved a call and was delighted to be greeted by chef Chop himself. He let me know he was appreciative for my order and unfortunately was out of one main ingredient (sweet potatoes) to complete my order. He kindly informed me that he could replace it for a variety of other types he can make, and knowing his amazing skill sets, I let him know, Do what you do chef, as I'm sure it will be great. Feel free to surprise me. He obliged and got to work.When I arrived, I was greeted immediately by staff and chef in the back as well. He told me it wouldn't take long to get pancakes out and he wanted to ensure they were freshly done when I arrived and they would be out shortly for me.Surprise! BANANA FOSTERS PANCAKES!Once I got home I plated my items and when I tell you these pancakes are everything, those words do no justice. Imagine the density and fluffiness of IHOP pancakes on a good day having a baby with Cracker Barrels hotcakes. Baaaybee... when I say perfection, it was bliss in every bite. The edges held a light crisp edge while the pancake itself was perfectly crafted. The highlight of this dish was definitely the syrup and the right touch of banana that seemed to be infused in every bite but definitely not too sweet, and just enough. Although this was just two flapjacks, I can honestly say my hunger was totally satisfied; and that usually doesn't happen with just two decent sized pancakes.On to dessert: FRIED CHEESECAKE My oh my... now I love a good cheesecake but all creamy delicacies are not created equal and most times come tasting unfortunately commercial. Not Roux Bar & Grill's though. They definitely pull out all the frills. The fluffy and slightly tart cheesecake filling is carefully wrapped like an egg roll, then deep fried and lightly covered in a magical powdered sugar topping. But wait... there's more! The star of this dish is definitely the freshly made Berry Compote! atop these crispy warm confections, it is the perfect marriage of tart meeting a savory sweet and just the right amount of crunch with the fluffy whipped cream filling.I was once again delightfully pleased and amazed with Chef Chops dishes as they were 5 restaurant quality at a reasonable price.Thanks again Chef Chop for another great experience and your craft at dishes that are made to please.

Wow. The first time was for lunch . The best calamari I have had in decades. Perfectly cooked and seasoned right. Gumbo was out of sight. It did take a while and he apologized for that. The next night I got dinner. Catfish and alligator bites. Again perfectly cooked. The only less than stellar was the sweet potato fries were a bit soggy. Could have been a carry out issue. But still worth the cost

The food is definitely worth the wait! Saturday morning, as soon as they open, is prime time to get quick service while everything is fresh. Shot out to my server as well.

Amazing well-seasoned food, and great service. The drinks may seem pricey, but they’re made very well (generous w/ alcohol). The location is small, and each dish is prepared to order so I recommend going during an off peak time for the fastest service. But the food is definitely worth the wait.

The food was awesome! It's worth it! The macaroni and cheese was so cheesy and flavorful! The Cajun Honey Fried Chicken was so flavorful and crispy and juicy! The collards was a bit on the salty side but it was still good. My mother had the deep fried crab legs. She enjoyed them! It is only one pound so it's not much the taste of the crab legs and the dipping sauce was very good! I will be coming back to try their breakfast.

We went here on the day of reopening and the food was amazing! I got the honey maple fried chicken with greens and Mac n'cheese with peach sweet tea. This was one of the best meals I've ever had. I will be going back regularly to try the rest of the menu. Chop was welcoming and a great host.

Everything was amazing. My cousin and I chose to dine inside. We had the gator bites, catfish with yams and Mac and cheese with a side of cabbage. I had hookah and a cocktail while waiting for my food. My cousin is pregnant and couldn’t join the festivities. The owner made her a nice mock tail. The customer service from the owner was excellent and the cooks were amazing. I will definitely be back.

Went there for the first time last week and Chop is the man! The catfish with the yams and okra was hot and fresh! The guava drink was delicious and we got topped of as soon as the drinks were low. The hospitality was very well received and genuine. Can't wait to check out brunch and to enjoy more great food!! Also looking forward trying out the desserts whenever they come back online!!!
