Clean. Inviting. I ordered shrimp/grits with a mimosa. 10 out 10.

Their basic menu items are good. It's not great for people who are looking for alternative breakfast meat, like chicken sausage or turkey bacon. Pork only! In addition, their only milk options are whole dairy or oat milk. It's fine if you want a basic breakfast, but not if you have special requirements.

Great place to link with friends and enjoy a great meal. Made fresh to order. Fried Green tomatoes and devil eggs are delightful.

This restaurant is phenomenal. My food was delicious to say the least. My only complaint was the demeanor of the young lady taking the order. As a service provider, she definitely could be more pleasant and welcoming. After all, she wasn’t doing us a favor taking our order.

Just my opinion, the food (catfish) is kinda bland. The service was fair but the food wasn't worth it...

Great southern cooking, friendly open atmosphere, casual vibe. Sundays are a mix of students, locals in their Sunday church best and more. Our go-to for lunch on Court Theater Sundays.

It’s a cool spot to chill at. I think it’s a bit pricy for what you get; a biscuit sandwich is like $15. It was a solid flaky biscuit and the eggs and sausage were good. Cheese was kinda plasticky which took away from it. Their drip coffee is also not great.

Always a comfortable and warm welcoming from the staff when I dine in for breakfast between 730am-800am. Food is very delicious!

Waiter is passive aggressive. Also — guided us where to sit, only to have us stand up, move all our food and drinks ourselves, to another place just nearby for some arbitrary reason. Such a faux pas for an institution that tries to come across as sophisticated.
He then let somebody else sit exactly where we were without issue.
Also overpriced.

This time I shared the experience w/ my daughter who happened to be in town. She didn't even want to share. The biscuits went perfect with the strawberry ginger jam. The deviled eggs were delicious and savory. That avocado toast was one for the books.

No line, no waiting. Food came about 10 minutes after ordering. Got there about 8am on a Saturday. Nice hostess. Chill music vibes cause I shazamed all the music. Sausage egg n cheddar cheese biscuit was phenomenal. Let me just say (heavy sigh) Lawd Jesuhhhh! The biscuit, the biscuit was off the chain. Flaky n fluffy n tasty. Chicken n waffles were great. I recommend. 10 out of 10.

Our family loves Roux! All of the food we’ve had has been consistently high quality, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It’s a perfect go-to when folks are visiting from out of town. Favorite dishes we’ve had include the classic breakfast, biscuits and gravy, hot chicken and waffle, patty melt, and shrimp and grits. Worth noting is how very family friendly Roux is. There were four adults in our party, two babies in two different strollers, and a toddler with us, and Roux staff approached us in line to clarify how many were in our group so they could make sure to have a table cleared for us by the time we placed our order at the counter. This was on a very busy Saturday morning, and we were not near the front of the line! That extra step made us feel so welcome.
