Roux On Canton

14 Intriguing Restaurants in Roswell, Georgia

"For Creole cuisine on Canton Street, look no further than this small but flavorful eatery. Follow the sounds of live music to the bright red “Roux” sign and pull up a chair to dig into Southern staples with a bayou twist. Gumbo, po’ boys, jambalaya, and shrimp and grits are all on the menu here, as are more internationally focused plates like chargrilled skirt steak with chimichurri. No matter what you order for your main course, be sure to start your meal with oysters on the half shell (enjoy $1 oysters every Sunday) and one of Roux’s creative cocktails like the very Southern Old Roswell — a blend of whiskey, peach bitters, and simple syrup garnished with an orange peel." - Sarah Bisacca

19 Essential French Restaurants Around Atlanta

"Perched at the entrance to Roswell’s ever-popular Canton Street, this unassuming brick building boasts a French-inspired market on its ground floor selling handicrafts, cheeses, coffee, and pastries. But for the main event, you’ll want to head upstairs. Here, you’ll find a cozy low-lit space adorned with mismatched seating and small bistro tables where you can savor French wines and charcuterie among vintage surroundings. Weekend brunch of crepes and croque-monsieur can be enjoyed on a breezy terrace overlooking pedestrian traffic and live music adds to the venue’s moody wine bar vibe on Saturday nights." - Sarah Bisacca

On the Grid : The Peach and the Porkchop

"The Peach and the Porkchop is an upscale Southern meets Northern-inspired restaurant in East Roswell. What does that mean? A good mix of entrees with roots and sandwiches with soul. It works. And can we talk about this decor? But the real thing that drew us to investigating and including The Peach and the Porkchop in our OTG collection ... boozy milkshakes. Unfortunately the Nimble. team consumed these before snapping a proper photo, but the JD shake (Jack & Honey Ice Cream with Jack Daniels)... ????." - Nimble. Design Co.

On the Grid : Roux on Canton

"Southern comfort food with a cajun twist, an on-point craft beer selection, and frequent live music. This is Roux on Canton. An inviting spot for lunch, dinner, or late nights, Roux's atmosphere and fare will not disappoint. We're big fans of the fish tacos (duh!), shrimp and grits, and Zack's burger. Join Roux for its monthly craft beer tastings (first Tuesdays of the month), Sunday oyster happy hours (3-6pm), and weekend brunch specials (chicken and beignets ????)." - Nimble. Design Co.

We had a party of 5 and since it's a smaller space and it was a Friday night, I expected the wait to take a while but I guess we timed it right because we only had to wait about 15 minutes or so. We got an appetizer of deviled eggs and fried dill pickles and they were both very good. I got the Cajun Chicken Pasta and it was very good. The table all got different dishes and everyone enjoyed it. Great atmosphere and would come back.

Highly recommended. Great atmosphere and staff. Our table ordered the French Dip, Po Boy, and Black Bean Burger, all were great. Also, the default side for our meals was curly fries, and they were perfectly cooked/seasoned. Fyi, the pic only includes half my French dip sandwich

Food was pretty good, we went for $1 oysters on Sunday. Parking is such a hassle on this street though, but that isn't the restaurant's fault. Wish the waiter would have been more attentive to us, especially at the beginning of our visit-- that's the only thing I would advise. Other than that the service was pleasant despite it being hard to track the waiter down.

This is a casual restaurant in the heart of Canton food alley in Roswell. We were here on a Friday at 3:00 pm. We had a reservation but really wasn't needed. We sat at a table near the front..no wait. Waitress was attentive and food came in a timely manner. With all the restaurant options on Canton, I would not say that my dining experience was one that made me say "I have to come back ". It was just ok.

we made a reservation for a party of 10. The space is pretty small but they were able to accommodate us well. We did go as soon as they opened so there weren’t many people there. The Jambalaya was pretty good. I would definitely come back and try other food

Wow...for a tiny restaurant the service sucked! And do mean sucked...they only have 20 tables in the whole place. The food was alright and bar service was super slow. We had to ask múltiple times where the drinks were and we ordered from their drink menu. You'd figure they knew how to make those. When we asked what the issue was, we were told they were busy. Busy is never a good reason for crappy slow service. You know how to not to be busy....crappy service and so so food. Never saw or spoke w any manager...I'd consider one of the other nine restaurants around it ...oh they also do that crappy 20, 30, 40 percent check box on their receipt for a tip like you're at a five guys.

Looks nice outside and inside, love the way the place is decorated. We were told to sit wherever but when we did we got asked to move somewhere else for reservations but the place never got really full on the inside. And It’s funny because maybe off rip the place had a chance at 5 stars , but being that I am a man of color I found it difficult to turn my head and not get weird stares. Mind you I casually came here to dine in with my wife on valentines. We are not sensitive people so we sat and dined any way. Great food . My wife ordered a shrimp basket and she loved it, while I ordered the steak entree. The steak came with Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes, I am not a fan of sweet potatoes but man the flavors came together beautifully. No complaints on the food 5 stars there

Came here to grab a quick lunch during a Saturday and have no complaints. The service was wonderful, food delicious and the location created a nice atmosphere. We got the lobster roll with mac and cheese and chargrilled oysters (comes in counts of 3 and has 3 flavors available) to share. Each of us also ordered burgers for ourselves with fries. The fries were nice and crispy. We will definitely come back!

Had an amazing dinner here today. We were a large party, but we got seated right away. Our server was the best. Annalise, was so incredibly attentive!! Our food was delicious, everyone was happy with their choice of food. Annalise took it over the top. She was constantly asking if we needed anything, answered questions about the menu, made recommendations. So awesome! We will be back!

The food was good except they left off a side & the girl on the phone was condescending and also did not include the sales tax with the refund. I would give a 4.5 for the food and a 1 for service.

Kurtis S.

Yelp

Came here for a birthday dinner. The restaurant was clean and our server was very friendly. I ordered the shrimp and grits while my wife ordered the shrimp Po Boy. While the food was good, we've had better Cajun. My shrimp and grits had a lot of bell peppers on the top which I'm not use to. My wife liked her Po boy but thought it could use a few more shrimp. Is this restaurant worth a visit? A definite yes.

This place is my absolute fav!! We came here for a drink and $1 oyster happy hour about 4 months ago.....now this is our place. My daughters and husband love the burgers, oh wait the bread and mussels are to die for!! All the wait staff is great but Devin is my favorite. If you are trying to decide between Roux on Canton or 1920 Tavern.........DO NOT GO TO 1920!!! I repeat DO NOT GO TO 1920!! Roux on Canton has great food trust me!! Thanks guys

Coming to Roswell is always a wonderful occasion for us. Roux is one of many we had not tried and were welcome they had a seat for us without reservations. We started out with a couple of IPA, and they have some good selections on tap. Also started out with some oysters, which was another sort of seasonal item I had not had all summer. Yummy. Our host was awesome! For dinner I enjoyed the jambalaya for the second time in Roswell, and it was just what I needed. If you didn't have a reservation, then you aren't settling when you come to Roux.

Wendy C.

Yelp

Cute little place in Historic Roswell. They have indoor and limited outdoor seating and a good size bar. All the outdoor seating was taken so we sat inside at a highboy table. I'm a pescatarian and they have a good amount of seafood options. The waitress said the bean burger was made in house so I decided to give it a try. It was a pretty good choice but if I return I will try the fish. The fries were good (yes you can mess up fries). The margarita was amazinggg, which was expected because half the restaurant seemed to be the bar! Service was good- the waitress was very attentive!

Food is amazing and very well priced. The waitstaff aren't that great though. Nice front patio with street view.

We came here for a good meal and we definitely got one!! They even had trivia night which was fun! We started with an appetizers of hush puppies. They were pretty standard. Our meals were certainly above standard though. I ordered the skirt steak with roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. I was extremely impressed!! My husband ordered the shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries which he really enjoyed. In fact, everyone at our table loved their meal. For dessert, we ordered the beignets which were huge and hot!! I would highly recommend this restaurant and you can even make a reservation for faster seating. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

We happened upon this place when looking for a trip in town to meet up with family including a toddler. Had no idea what to expect but saw the $1 oysters on Sundays and that's all we needed to see! But seeing they cook their beef in tallow was a superb point as well! We had a chef in tow with us who also critiqued the food. Appetizers: chargrilled oysters. Not a hit. Wouldn't order again. 3 for 12 and they lacked flavor or punch. Just "aight". A dozen Raw Oysters... we ended up ordering 2 dozen they were DELICIOUS and fat! So good! Meals: Deviled Eggs very good. Simple eggs. Gumbo: FIRE SO GOOD IT WAS PASSED AROUND THE TABLE! Shrimp and grits: he's a shrimp and grits addict and is a tough critic and these were AMAZING! FULL of flavor! Lobster roll: she devoured it so fast we couldn't even ask about it Fried green tomatoes: again good and passed around the table. The pimento cheese is heavy so make sure you're a fan of that. Steak sandwich: very very good! I would order this again. Bread was perfectly toasted, steak perfectly done in little bites, right amount of cheese to beef and peppers and onions. Solid steak sandwich. Came with curly fries which were PHENOMENAL. We also had the beignets for desert and they are HUGE! Be ready for POUNDS OF powdered sugar on top. They were very good but are missing a dipping sauce which would definitely take them next level and being ordered at every table. Carmel sauce or chocolate sauce would be perfection. We had a great experience. Low lighting, casual place, everyone was comfortable and it's in a beautiful little location with lots of other options to the sides of it. The food was a hit and we will go back when we are in town.

Great food, good beer and nice ambiance. This was our first time at Roux and we had a really good time. The Po Boy was really nice especially with their Rouxinator. The curly fries were fresh and not too oily. My husband ordered a Roux Blue and enjoyed it minus the lettuce. The veggies had good garlic flavor.

Earl S.

Yelp

The food was good. We sat at the bar. The grouper was perfectly cooked. Parking is paid on the street. The deviled eggs were a great way to start the meal and the pimento cheese fritters. I really like the pita chips as well.

Excellent apps and drinks. Can't wait to go back. Chargrilled oysters and the Hurrouxcane are a must! The outdoor dining is preferred.

I finally got the chance to walk down to Roux! We decided to take advantage of their daily Happy Hour at went at 4pm. We enjoyed the $1 each Oysters and the fried Grouper Fingers at their outside tables. Both were great paired with a yummy Sauvignon blanc. Loved their outside seating. The waitress was so nice and very attentive. So glad we finally got the chance to stop by. I can't wait to come back and try some other things.

Yelp

The food was awesome! I got the steak skewers with sweet potato and Brussel sprouts. Let me tell you it tasted incredible! The chips with the cheese dip was also incredible. Our server was so nice and engaging. She really made the place feel welcoming. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very in theme with the time of year. The Halloween decorations were cool, my daughter made a game out of trying to count all the fake spiders. It was a good time overall, I 100% recommend trying this place out. You won't be disappointed

Food was too expensive for the quality and hardly any place to sit. This place has potential however the owner has no vision for it.

Ahna S.

The outdoor patio is adorable and decorated for the holidays, but we sat inside because it was a colder night. The inside is welcoming, casual and unassuming - jeans or cute outfit appropriate. Our server, Isabelle, was an absolute gem. She was super patient with my GF questions, offered to double check everything for me (and did), informed me that bread is cooked on the same surface as the shrimp I ordered in case I had celiac and didn't bat an eye when I asked if she would ask the chef to cook my shrimp "well done". The shrimp and grits were flavorful, a decent sized portion, had just the right amount of cream (not too heavy like some places), were topped with thinly sliced char grilled onions and bell peppers and instead of having andouille or another type sausage, I think the pork flavor came from small bites of bacon. I had their version of a NOLA hurricane so I can't be 100% sure. It packed a punch and was fruity without tasting like processed sugar. BTW - the shrimp and grits did not have any tomato sauce in them (I like them both ways) and I did enjoy Roux's different take on seasoning them with the char grilled veggies that easily blended into the grits to have with each bite. We went early - maybe 6:00 and while the bar was full, the tables were empty. By the time we left an hour later, the tables were full. I appreciate that Isabelle split our check in half and my receipt came with pre-calculated tipping options and, of course, a space for a "custom tip". I practice brutal honesty so I will include that while our table looked clean and was set with silverware, the top of the table was a little sticky on my side. I didn't bother mentioning it to Isabelle because I hadn't seen my friend in 5 months and was too busy talking. I know if I said something it would have taken care of it right away. I did notice daily drink specials on a chalk board by the bar. Roux seems like the kind of place I could go to on my own and feel comfortable. Thanks for the good meal and excellent service, Isabelle!!!

We walked in mid-afternoon on a Sunday to grab a quick drink. We decided to get food and its a good thing we did. We weren't there to eat, but each got soup - chicken tortilla and gumbo. Great portions for cups of soups, great flavors, filled us up. it was perfect. Service was cheerful and attentive. Atmosphere was upbeat, a good afternoon crowd. And they had the basketball game on. Really good experience, will return & recommend!

Came to Roux on Canton around 5:30 on a Saturday. Jonathan was our server and he was great. Fast, attentive, informative and polite. We ordered two drinks; flower child and the margarita, an appetizer; fried jalapeños and pickles, two entrees; the big chicken and the gumbo. All dishes were very fresh and delicious. The drinks were also good and strong, we only needed one. The establishment is small on the inside but it also has outside seating. Clean, well kept with a vintage vibe. Would definitely come back!

Come for the food and drinks. Stay for the vibes. The only place I've found in ATL with Shiner Bock ON TAP.

This was my first visit to Roux on Canton Street in Historic Roswell. We decided to celebrate a family birthday dinner here, and we were very pleasantly surprised. First, our server Jonathan was amazing. He was super attentive and even anticipated most of our needs. He knew the entire menu very well and gave great recommendations. The food was great. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The hot items came out of the kitchen quickly and were smoking hot. We had to wait a second for some of the items to cool down before eating. We shared a number of appetizers, including the pimento cheese fritters, lemon pepper wings, the dip, and the warm pretzel with cheese and mustard dipping sauces. The pimento fritters, wings and pretzel were my favorites. We each ordered a different entree and shared some. I had the steak with mac and cheese as a side. The steak was flavorful and well seasoned. The mac and cheese was creamy. Other members of the family ordered the salmon, chicken tortilla soup, big chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken tacos, and spring salad with chicken. Being that we were celebrating a birthday, Jonathan offered us the birthday beignets for dessert. While they were good, they were not the best I've had at other restaurants in this city. Based upon the great service provided by Jonathan combined with the taste and quality of the food, we will definitely be back - probably sometime soon. Cheers

My new favorite place. Looking forward to going back soon. Had the steak which was great and hard to find elsewhere. Highly recommend if not sure.

Well, we got off to a shaky start at Roux on Canton, but eventually recovered for an overall, solid four-star experience. Here's the scoop... We first wanted to try the daily drink special listed on the sign, but it was sold out. Next we asked about the frozen drink special from the menu, but was told their machine was broken. These things happen, I suppose... Here's what we settled upon and LOVED! Appetizers: Dozen oysters (lemon, cocktail sauce, crackers) and fried pickles/okra Entree: sweet potato tacos with fries Drinks: iced tea (my fav!), Moscow mule and Bloody Mary (spicy!) Dessert: beignets topped with powdered sugar It turned out to be a nice meal! Note: we dined inside, but there is also outdoor patio seating. Your pups are welcome outside on a leash - it's quite a sweet sight.

Queenie D.

Yelp

Some things were done okay - but nothing was truly well done. Im also not fully convinced that this is a "creole" restaurant ... they have some creole food on the menu, but it's more bar food in my opinion ... i mean, they serve tacos ... Nah. My gumbo, although seasoned well, didn't remind me of a gumbo at all. It was mainly roux and hardly any vegetables or rice. I kept saying I was eating "mainly roux" lol. The hush puppies were super greasy and dry at the same time. Fries were kinda cold when we got them, and the slaw was super bland. The shrimp, hardly had any breading (which worked in my favor cuz I prefer less breading) - but all in all, as they say on the tv cooking shows "the taste was there". Hubby had the chicken wrap and salad with creamy balsamic vinaigrette and that was okay also. We only had water to drink, and the water tasted a bit funky to me. Total was $47 before tip. Service was fast and friendly. All in all, a solid 3 stars, but can't see myself coming back here.

Bella and Izzy were sweet and the drinks were great; I would only return for a drink. The food was just okay- nothing amazing. The muscles were delicious, but the steak and risotto were such a disappointment! Lobster risotto tasted frozen- I was shocked with the dryness and blandness of the dish! The steak I got in replacement of the lobster risotto had soooo much salt, I just could not eat it... I took it to go for our pup at home. Park at the city hall- it's free and just a 5-7 minute walk. Make a reservation! Drinks are great, food not so good- go elsewhere; it's not worth the money.

Randi F.

Yelp

Kinda saddened by this, I used to love this place. It's located on canton street in downtown roswell, I usually park at city hall and walk over. Otherwise parking nearby is a fee. The restaurant is kind of small, with some outdoor and bar seating. It has a rustic feel. I went on a Saturday night and was able to get a seat at the bar, which was great. The bartender was very attentive and nice. I got Diet Coke which tasted bad and he replaced it from a different fountain acknowledging the one at the bar isn't good. Guess they just test peoples palette and ability to complain before serving the good stuff haha! We ordered oysters as an appetizer which tasted good. I ordered Cajun chicken pasta and my friend ordered the shrimp and grits. I was also craving sweet potato fries so got that on the sauce with a side of remoulade. I don't ever recall their sweet potato fries being dusted in cinnamon sugar and it was not mentioned in the description on their menu. Obviously, cinnamon sugar and remoulade is disgusting, but if I had known it came with cinnamon sugar on it I would have asked for them salted instead. Sweet potato fries are plenty sweet to me without added sugar, but I know that is personal preference! Some people have strong feelings about this so I believe it should at least be noted on the menu. The other sad thing is the remoulade tasted like straight jalapeño. I know their sauce didn't taste that way in the past and I didn't care for the change. Lastly, the Cajun chicken pasta had a very generous helping of chicken, but the sauce was so buttery, it was too rich for me. I thought I'd give the okra a go and it was ok, but I would prefer bell pepper like a traditional Cajun chicken pasta. My friend got shrimp and grits and she enjoyed it! She said it was very flavorful and a little spicy. Overall, I was saddened by my first visit back in some years, the flavors aren't what they used to be. I am very much missing the crab cake sandwich, but with the old remoulade! But I genuinely appreciate the good service by the bartender.

Great Location! Great Food! Great Service! Makes you feel like you are on vacation! Half off Oysters after 5 during the week and all day Sunday!

Gillum O.

Yelp

Rounding up to a three but here is my breakdown: Service 2.5 Drinks 2.5 Food 3 We sat outside. They had the heaters on which was nice on a windy night. Took about 10 minutes after we got our waters for the waitress to come back to take our drink and app orders. Drinks were very watery and the food runner coughed on our app/table when dropping off our app. For entrees we had the fish tacos and the Cajun pasta. The pasta was not Cajun at all, but the tacos were very filling. The shining star was the jalapeño grits and the pimento cheese fritters. Overall the food was good, not sure if I would return because of the service and then sub par drinks. Certainly not worth the price on the bill.

Love this place! Just finished up some morning shopping and was near the Trendy Historic Downtown Roswell, Canton Street area. So many cool places to eat and enjoy a drink most places have side walk seating for those nice days. The appetizers were both amazing and delicious. Devil eggs had a touch of relish which gave a nice sweet finish. And the oysters definitely lived up to their reputation. Very fresh. The entire team at the Roux is so cool. Very casual atmosphere with warm smiles and friendly hello's. From the hostess to the server (which was awesome) to the food runner and the bartender. All, always asked if everything was good and could they get you any thing else. Excellent! My lobster roll with the red beans and rice was absolutely delicious. Just loved it. Fresh, seasoned perfectly and so tasty. The cocktails were on the mark. Blended nicely and delicious. Kudos to the bartender. Just a wonderful experience on a perfect summer afternoon. Thank you Roux. You're doing everything right!

We can here on a Monday night for dinner and had no problem getting a table for our party of 4. We could have sat indoors or outdoors and it was a nice night so we sat along the sidewalk. It was great people watching. Our server took some time to get with us and the service was pretty slow given the few people who were there. We ordered the deviled eggs and wings for appetizer. The wings are $1 each from 6-9pm on Mondays. The hot honey is a good sauce, but the wings were undercooked. The deviled eggs were great though. For my entree, I had the Roux Bleu burger. It was a big burger that had a fried jalapeno, bacon, lettuce, and aioli. The fries that came with it were heavily seasoned. All in all, a good meal, but there are better places on Canton Street.

This was a great experience! All the food was fresh and hot! Our server, Johnathan was very good as well. Attentive and funny. If you're in the area give it a try. The gumbo and house made hot sauce was good. Also the fried pickles and jalapeños!

Dena H.

It was our first time on canton street and it has a ton of different restaurants to choose from. We hopped around and chose to dine at Roux. We weren't too hungry so we had some small plates to share. The drinks here are absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend the frozen margarita. We ordered fried oysters which were good too, as well as a watermelon salad. The watermelon was fresh and juicy however there was way too much cilantro which did not pair well with the salad. Definitely stop here for some drinks!

Went on a whim as we were in the area and found street parking on a Thursday evening. We arrived about a half hour before the kitchen closed but that was not a problem. Our server was outstanding offering some great suggestions -- we ended up with a smash burger (really good but not a traditional smash burger) and a Po'boy. Even though the kitchen was closing our server surprised us with beignets for dessert. Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful waitstaff, and really good food.

I am writing this review based simply on trying to make a reservation. The link online doesn't work, they are not listed with Open Table, and when I called, the mailbox is full?! Would like to try this place and have no problem walking up and putting my name on a list, but if you advertise you take reservations and then a reservation cannot be made, that isn't a great start to encouraging people to come visit you.

Mads B.

Yelp

Stepped in here around 7:30 Saturday night. No reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant is small both inside and with a few tables outside, so we were lucky to get a table. We each had a cocktail. I had the mezcal and pineapple one. It was definitely watered down. Could have been great if not for that fact. We started with the pimento cheese fritters. It came with 5 fritters, homemade tortilla chips and pepper jelly. Stellar! But who doesn't love pimento cheese anything?? No idea why the tortilla chips were there, but I'm not complaining about it. They were yum. For dinner I had the fried chicken tacos. Tasty. Decent portion size. I only ate one taco. It came with a side, and I had the cheese grits. Very good. Service was as expected. No complaints even on a busy night. The only low point was the cocktail. Maybe just stick to beer here. Other than that, I will be back.

Tara B.

The bestie and I stopped in after a long day of errands. We were both famished. She wanted some seafood so this is where we ended up. After looking the menus over several times I distinctly remember asking what made her pick this place. Oysters. They have a happy hour special for raw oysters and she had 8 minutes to participate. She was already ordering some but added the raw ones to take the deal. Hmmm...not a oyster fan so I continue to comb through the menu. We ordered an appetizer so I continued to look while I sipped on my drink. Which was really good btw!! The Dip: spinach, artichoke, white, Gouda and parmesan cheeses that comes with pita bread and tortilla chips. The ingredients sound amazing together! I expected an explosion of flavors but overall the dip was pretty good. The tortilla chips tasted home made and had really great flavor and crispness to them. Shrimp basket: fried shrimp, hush puppies and coleslaw. The bestie said it had zero seasoning on it, not even a trace of salt. That's disappointing because the shrimp were very large and looked so good! She didn't eat much of her dish and said the hush puppies were the best thing she had. Fish tacos: blackened tilapia, avocado, coleslaw, cheese and jalapeño lime aioli. It was the sauce that made me order it and the reviews!! Two tacos and it comes with a side, I chose fries. The most flavorful thing about the dish was the avocado. Don't get me wrong, I love avocados but if that's the most flavorful that tells you everything you need to know. Everything was bland, luckily the tilapia didn't have a "fishy" taste but still wasn't good. I saw the aioli but couldn't taste it. I like to give the disclosure that I can cook, I know what seasons pair well with dishes so I can be pretty picky. As I mentioned, the reviews for this dish were good so go for it. Maybe it was an off day? Maybe we were too hungry? The restaurant was described as creole but creole it was not. Decent vibe, good service and I definitely enjoyed my drink. Check it out and see what you think.

Awesome little spot!! Great specials (Wednesday half off old fashions) and even better food. I ate the Buffalo chicken tacos and wow! So tasty and fresh. I also recommend their homemade creamy balsamic dressing; unbelievable. Curly fries were super tasty as well. 5 stars.
