How was Rouj Creole? Just give me everything on the menu to go please and thanks!! Outstanding! I'm usually scared to try restaurant gumbo but baby they wowed me! ! The sweet tea chicken sandwich now has a special place in my heart. The oysters had me questioning whether or not I've found a new favorite over Chimes oysters.  This was an excellent date night choice! More...

Been here for dinner and brunch. Love the atmosphere especially on weekends for brunch. Food options  were your normal creole/cajun Louisiana food, they do have a great variety of oysters. Definitely one of my go-to's when I visit home. More...

My husband surprised me with a trip here on our anniversary and it did not disappoint!! The cocktails were very good and strong. We had the bbq shrimp as an appetizer and my only critique is that the grits were not needed. They were a little bland but the shrimp were the definite star of the show! I could have eaten ten more plates of them! The entree was the filet mignon with fried soft shell crabs and lump crabmeat and it was DIVINE!!!! I was too full for dessert but the offerings looked very good! I would recommend this place to anyone and I will definitely be returning!! More...

We anticipated a wonderful meal in this upscale cajun/creole establishment...However, we were sadly disappointed. We started with appetizers of frog legs, which were very small and the breading came off when you took a bite (obviously frozen) and Boudin balls, which were just mushy and tasted as did the frog legs, like chicken wings. We also had seafood gumbo which had a good flavor roux, but the seafood was minimal and what we could find was mushy (obviously overcooked). Our entrees were average - French creole dip sandwich: just average, nothing to write home about. Shrimp PoBoy sandwich: once again average, shrimp were fried well, came with no sauce. Fried Oyster and Shrimp plate: this was quite tasty. Not the BEST, but okay. We finished with bread pudding which was good consistency, but had no flavor. Sauce on top was pretty good. Our Server was attentive and positive. He helped with our wine when we had to make another choice due to our first choice was not available.Overall, good experience, but we weredisappointed with the quality of food served. When we visit Baton Rouge next, we will be dining somewhere else. More...

It's been a while since I've been here. Usually everything is on point. Today, not so much. Shrimp poboy...few, small over breaded shrimp on a ton of bread. Crab cakes used to have lump meat. Not today. Cocktail was very good. More...

This was a "one and done" for us.  First, with all the open tables, we still had to wait for one.  Once seated, the busser brought water, but didn't see a server for quite some time.  She didn't seem to care. Once we ordered, salads came in a timely manner, followed immediately by our entrees.  I truly felt speed-dined.  As a former restaurant manager, I would have severely reprimanded any server who did that to any diner that had not asked for it.Since it didn't seem like we were welcomed, it didn't seem to be necessary to complain to management.So.....One and done!

I was in Baton Rouge visiting a friend this weekend and decided on Rouj Creole for dinner to catch up. We had appetizers, drinks, entrees, and dessert. There were three of us so we shared and did family style. Everything was delicious. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive. We even stayed past closing and didn't realize because we were having such a great time. Sorry to the people that worked this past Saturday night .I definitely recommend this restaurant! More...

Mattie, Danielle and Nick at the bar were wonderful and very attentive.  The one dish not shown because I ate it too fast was the brie appetizer - it's called a shareable but there is no way I would have shared it with ANYONE - it was that good.  In regard to the bread pudding Mattie suggested the cheesecake or the brownie and I was going for the brownie but mentioned I had never understood why people liked bread pudding and she said if I was going to try it I needed to try theirs.  Even said she would get me the brownie if I didn't like the bread pudding.  Needless to say I have to go back for the brownie.  The entire meal was great and the service was fantastic!!!  Definitely a place to try.

Fabulous experience and great atmosphere. I started with the Crab Cake Maison and drink Quest Like A Tribe. For my main course meal I had the Sweet Tea Chicken and the sandwich was wonderful. I did ask for them to hold the green tomato and the plate could've had more shoe-string French Fries but those were my only two opportunistic take-a-ways. I did notice my neighbors at the bar enjoying the BBJ oysters, gumbo, & fried shrimp platter all of which looked scrumptious as well. All in all I enjoyed this restaurant and will be returning to try the Rouj Ribeye. More...

I went here on a slow day after the hurricane. At first I didn't think they were opened but I'm glad I decided to try. There were about 10 other guest dining in. The atmosphere is pretty. The staff were friendly. I had the crab claws. The portion size is the biggest I've had. Easily sharable as an appetizer. The sauce was nice and flavorful. The bread was a great touch to sop up the flavorful sauce. For dessert I had the apple pie nachos. The Apple pie sauce was wonderful!! I could just eat a bowl of that! The nachos were okay but some were a little too crispy to me. Overall, I would definitely order both items again! More...

This restaurant is a must go!!Everything was absolutely delicious here. We weren't even hungry when we arrived but the food was so good that it made us hungry. The classic chargrilled oysters were done well, very garlicky and cheesy. But the oysters could have been cleaned better and deshelled first. The crab claws were everything I wanted. Each claw had the shells taken off and it was super easy to eat. The sauce was to die for. I definitely used the bread to soak up more of that sauce.I was also super impressed by the duck beignets. The inside was moist, and sauced/seasoned perfectly. The duck was savory and the beignets was just slightly sweet. This is a 11/10 on balance of flavor and texture. The gumbo was flavorful but unfortunately came lukewarm. The hash was delicious and so was the catfish and grits. But the most unique main dish was the sweet tea chicken sandwich. The chicken was tender and you could taste the sweet tea brine slightly coming through. I can't express how amazing every dish was here and overall a slam dunk. This is a restaurant I would go out of my way for and travel to come back to. More...

We loved Rouj Creole! We visited for the first time today for brunch and everything was delicious! We shared the Eggplant+Crawfish appetizer, the Classic Chargrilled Gulf Shrimp, and the Creole Omelet. All the food exceeded my expectations.

I waited over twenty-for hours to write this review so that I could mull over everything. The service was impeccable. I mean 5 star plus. Everyone was willing to help, checked on me, etc. without being annoying. I ordered the Baked Brie and it was just okay. I liked the sauce but there was something missing in the Brie they use or ? I don't know. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. The chargrilled oysters were up there with amazing. They made it to my list of the Best Chargrilled Oysters in Baton Rouge. Since I'm making it a thing to try them all and evaluate them, well that means they were also five stars plus.Their Happy Hour is bomb. They have quite a few drinks for $5.00 including an Old Fashioned and a French 75. These are two of my faves so the choice was tough. More...

I've been to Rouj a handful of times and always thought the food was very good. I especially like this cocktail, Miss Honeypenny. It's one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had! The drinks were still very delicious but the issue was with the crab claws. We ordered these during happy hour so it was 50% off $20. I'm not sure if the happy hour ones are "bad crabs" or what was going on but they were so soft and mushy, and honestly the sauce wasn't the best either. I'd go back for other food and drinks but I won't order the crab claws there ever again. More...

This place is fantastic!  I'm not going to lie, I was a bit apprehensive when I walked in because the attitude of the guy who appeared to be the manager was awful. Our server and the food made up for it real quick though!  We were there for happy hour so all of the appetizers were 1/2 off. We tried the crab cakes, crawfish boudin balls, baked Brie and fried oysters and okra. The crab cakes were quite possibly the best I've ever had!!  The flavor was excellent and they were cooked to perfection. The sauce was fantastic as well!The baked Brie was also some of the best I've ever had. The Brie was cooked perfectly with a crisp shell on the outside and it was covered with a sauce that was to die for. The crawfish boudin balls aren't your traditional boudin ball, but they were good in their own right. The jalapeño jelly on top was a good touch. The fried oysters were melt in your mouth good!  The batter was tasty and the oysters were cooked to perfection. The dipping sauce was nice and spicy and complimented them well. The fried okra left a little to be desired as it was a bit tough. I think it could have been a little more pickled. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is due to the rudeness of the manager. Otherwise our food was great, the beer was cold and our server made our experience enjoyable. More...

Welcome to "white flight" creole. Here you can have it all including bland food, high prices, and it's even located in an old Applebee's. Your food is a disgrace to this region. Go to the rouses across the street for a better time or just eat out of an old trash can for the same effect as Rouj Creole.   Legitimately cannot believe the manager wanted to throw the cooks under the bus. Bud, no one wants to work for your terribly pretentious restaurant.  No idea how this place survived in Louisiana, then again some people lost a lot of taste buds this year. More...
