Reviews Bistro La Roux

Tried this after a coworker recommended it, and we really enjoyed it! The place has a cool vibe, live music started about 10 minutes after we got there and they were really good. I'm pretty basic and stuck with the fried shrimp and I was surprised by how small they were but they were very flavorful! My husband couldn't decide which dish to try so we ordered a little bit of everything. I've never had fried green tomatoes before and they were fantastic! We're already planning on coming back on a Monday night to try the beans and rice! Fantastic waitress who knew the menu front to back and great service.

First time visiting tonight. The Boudin Balls are a must get! That sauce is amazing. I wanted to take some home. Good portions, great prices, service was great. I like that they have half portion options. They had live music, which we're not a fan of since it's usually really loud, but we sat far enough away to where we could still hear each other talk. The Jambalaya is delicious, a little different than what I've had before at other southern restaurants, a little sweeter, but still really good with their homemade sausage. The Crawfish Pie with the cheese sauce was delicious, unique, unexpected and would definitely get again. We'll be back.

Last night was our first time to Bistro La Roux. My husband travels to NOLA for work (and I occasionally go with him), and we were craving some of the sinfully delicious New Orleans fare. Bistro La Roux did not disappoint! Our waitress, Sandy, was happy to give her suggestions (thank you!). We ended up with a oyster po' boy, Boo fries (think poutine-like fries), seafood gumbo (half order), and the olives. My husband and I like to share our meals, so we get a little bit of everything The food was delivered very quickly (almost shocking how quickly it came), and looked very appealing. The taste was fantastic! Po' boy had fantastic flavor, wonderful combination of that deep fried oyster with the fresh veggies on that french bread. Boo fries had a savory beef gravy and not too salty (as I've had at other restaurants). The seafood gumbo, oh the gumbo, delicious little shrimp and okra with just the right amount of rice on top...I chose to to get the french bread and was so happy with my choice. The french bread had the perfect amount of crustiness to the outside with that soft, chewy inside. Being a big fan of olives of all flavors, perfect choice (they are NOT pitted for those not use to it, so don't chip a tooth!). Sandy was very attentive throughout our meal, ensuring that we were enjoying our first visit there. I also knew that we would be having dessert, so we ordered the bread pudding a la mode (on the side). What a perfect ending to a delicious meal! I got so excited I forgot to take a picture of it! I would definitely recommend stopping by this modest treasure. We had live jazz music as well (Southside Aces). We will absolutely be back! Thanks for bringing a little NOLA to the north!

My husband and I stopped in on St. Patrick's Day and it was amazing! We had boudin balls as an appetizer but forgot to get a picture because they looked so good we just dove right in. They were amazing! The dipping sauce was perfect also- just the right amount of heat. The server recommended some menu items and was quick and friendly. I ordered the catfish with gouda grits and the vegetable of the day. My husband ordered the alligator sausage po boy and he LOVED it. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back for the crawfish and shrimp boils in April!
