Second time I’ve been here and both times have been amazing. The martinis are remarkable. All of the food is very bright and interesting. I loved the pork shoulder and my husband loved the chicken. The crab dip was slappppinnnnnn. I will definitely be back 10/10

Rougarou was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding and everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere had a great vibe, and you can tell they truly care about the overall experience. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. We had the pleasure of chatting with the bartender, Jake, who was awesome and made the experience even better. I really wish I would’ve gotten our server’s name as well because he was amazing — extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Please do yourself a favor and check this place out — you will not be disappointed. This will definitely be in our regular rotation!

Absolutely stunning meal. Incredible flavors and value. The decor was so vibrant and welcoming while still being classy. Every dish was so flavorful. The collard greens salad was a standout. The creole tofu was super flavorful. I can only assume the meat dishes are good too but we did all veggie. Highly recommend for vegetarians or vegans.

Stumbled on Rougarou at 11pm on a Sunday night and was looking for places still open. SO worth it, this place has incredible southern comfort food and wonderful service. The blue cheese tart was my favourite, we had the catfish, chicken on a stick, grits and grillades and green beans - shared between 3 people total. Everything was good, I will definitely be back! In all honesty, I wanted to come back the next night to eat more it was that good.
