Roux Cajun Eatery - SIMSBURY

We came here to try out the Cajun brunch for Father's Day. My son and I were treating my dad. Being fans of both live music and Cajun food, we were excited for something new. Cajun places just aren't popular enough in CT.I meant to post this months ago and now I'm sure I'll forget something we ordered. More importantly the owners and staff were amazing, attentive and patient with us. Dad got a Chicken Sausage Gumbo, my son had the Chicken Waffle and I ordered the Crawfish omelette. Since dad doesn't do seafood we shared fried pickles and the biscuits with honey. Everything was amazing including the chicory coffee. The only thing that left me disappointed, was the lack of an accompaniment to my omelet. I've never ordered an omelet that was served by itself on a plate. A side of homefries, sliced tomato...something would have been nice.

Food is authentic Cajun cuisine, and made fresh. Loved every dish I had! Drink choices were great. Everything was perfect! The waitstaff was very friendly and treated us like family. We will be back many more times to try all the amazing dishes and drinks!! This is definitely a place to check out!!

The owner made me a poboy special ! The service was great and fast. They have live music on Sunday. The restroom are clean as well and the bar .

Well our experience started out well. Had a little jazz band playing out front. Only 3 tables in the place had people at them. We started off ordering an appetizer of the voodoo roll. It was nice and crunchy but that was the best part. The filling was mushy overcooked rice and cheese. Well we ordered the sampler platters one was the app portion and the other was the dinner portion. It took close to 45 min for them to come out then had to send them back as 5 of the seven were cold. Mind you they are all pre-made and just need to be warmed up to start with. so why 45 min and why cold still) Now once we were able to eat finally, the corn chowder was the best out of all. The jambalaya was dry the etouffee was goopy and so spicy buy yet bland in flavor, the gumbo was just alright. The shrimp and grits was goopy and bland. The poor waitress was running the whole restaurant plus bartending. We saw another server or someone from the kitchen don't really know what his job was but kept apologize for the slow kitchen service. Every table there recieved apologies and or compensation in some way for the poor kitchen service. This place need to get its act together and fast or they won't be open long.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The people are awesome the food is great! We went on Karaoke night and the DJ WAS AWESOME! Thanks again for that SPICY Martini!! Do yourself the favor and go to this place!!
