Roux, located in Hyde Park, offers a satisfying dining experience with quick customer service and a friendly open atmosphere. The restaurant features an outdoor patio where guests can enjoy the weather while they dine. Popular menu items include the patty melt and cinnamon roll, both highly praised for their delicious taste. However, the fried green tomatoes received mixed reviews, with some finding the black pepper flavor too strong. While the restaurant is known for its great southern cooking and casual vibe, it may not cater well to those looking for alternative breakfast meats like chicken sausage or turkey bacon, as they offer pork only. Additionally, the milk options are limited to whole dairy or oat milk. Despite occasional long lines, Roux is recognized for its speedy service and generous portion sizes, making it a great option for a filling meal, especially on Sundays when the atmosphere is lively with a mix of students and locals.
