Rougaroux in Birmingham

Great food; wonderful, quirky atmosphere that is everything that I love about NOLA, and and awesome place for a quick lunch with friends to catch up—just make sure you get there earlier rather than later for lunch because they fill up inside. If the weather is nice, there are more places to sit outside. Enjoy!

Everything here was ridiculously delicious! So very New Orleans.

Every time we end up at our neighborhood version of New Orleans, we find the gumbo hard to resist. And then there are the sandwiches, with choices of authentic debris (roast beef), shrimp and more. Inside seating is cozy, with decor to match the cuisine. Or you can go outside and get a closeup view of the rougarou (werewolf) that gives the place its name. It’s easy to order at the bar and your food is delivered, wherever you choose to sit.

Had the Moscow mule slushie and the shrimp poboy. Both were amazing. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes good food.

As a former Metairie native, thank you for making sure you did New Orleans cuisine justice. We both had fantastic Po boys and they've perfected their roux for the gumbo, which was also amazing! The freshness of the ingredients is key in all NOLA food and it didn't disappoint. Add to it a fun atmosphere and drinks and you've got yourself a true Cajun experience. Looking forward to some return visits!

I liked the surf and turf po'boy (I think that's what it was called). It had one half roast beef and the other half fried shrimp. I liked the bread. It was authentic New Orleans style bread. We also had the gumbo which was okay. It had okra which some people don't like in their gumbo, but I do. I also tried the bread pudding. It didn't have a lot of flavor and it was kind of dry. Service was good. They made sure we had everything we needed. I'd recommend you give this place a try. It's good if you want a taste of New Orleans while you're in Birmingham.

Funky freak fun! Great food and good drinks

Unique atmosphere and awesome food! Sausage and crab broiled smashed potatoes were deliciously satisfying. Stole several bites of my husbands po boy and gumbo. We can't wait to go back!
