Went for weekend brunch and was able to get seated fairly quickly. It had a comfy/farmhouse/communal vibe with the tables placed pretty closely together. There’s a high top narrow island with seating as well. There’s noise level was pretty high but not so noisy to where you couldn’t hear your party. My cousin and I went with the shrimp and grits and shared an order of beignets. The shrimp and grits were phenomenal and a nice portion. 10/10. The beignets were a 8/10 just...
Very nice spot on UC campus, spacious with good cohesive decoration for the theme, southern comfort breakfast dining. A place that has both great coffee and food is a rarity indeed! Counter ordering and table service or Togo options. The grits were particularly impressive with excellent texture and flavor.
I’ve been going to Roux regularly for a few years now. The food is always good and the staff is nice and they’re fast. Efficient. I would give it 5 stars if they had stronger coffee and if the food temperature was warmer. It usually comes out room temp when I go. It could be hotter. Other than that it’s really good.
