Rougaroux - Review - Forest Park - Birmingham - The Infatuation

"The Rougaroux exterior doesn’t look like much, and that’s OK, because the Cajun food inside is doing all the heavy lifting. Stop into this fast-casual New Orleans establishment when you need a quick hit of smoky chicken gumbo and some Zombie bread oozing with melted cheese and crawfish tails on Leidenheimer french bread. If you have a bit more time, find a seat at the bar with a friend and reminisce about the time you traded your pants for a bead necklace made up of tiny alligators during Mardi Gras. Then, bury your regret with an oyster rockefeller po’boy—the creamy spinach and parmigiano reggiano spread balances out those crispy fried oysters. photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks photo credit: Kelli Dirks Pause Unmute" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Friendly staff. First time visiting and they recommended so interesting dishes. Chicken was very flavorful and tender. Atmosphere was very relaxing. Found a table on the inside near the corner. Not a very big restaurant on the inside but it feels very cozy. Would definitely visit again when I am in Birmingham.

If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further! This place is definitely worth going out of your way to get there. Everything on the menu sounds incredible, and what we tried yesterday was to die for (and trust me, that's not an exaggeration!). My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We'll definitely be back! Plus the decor is too spooky-cute!

10/10 all around food, service, and atmosphere. It was my first time there. I got the Ferdi Special recommended by my Uncle and it did not disappoint. Creole Fries were also very good.

Wow, what a friendly place! This isn't a fancy restaurant, but the food is fabulous! I had the shrimp po boy and my husband had the special chicken and fried pickle po boy. We also had an order of hush puppies. Huge portions and yummy! I'd come again if I was in the area!

A great fund while visiting Birmingham! Very cute little cottage with artist expression l. Atmosphere is fun, and the food is great! Shrimp Po Boy, fried green tomatoes and cold beer. The gumbo smelled amazing. I wish I would tried that too. Great staff! [Perhaps the owners?) Thanks for your hospitality!

I love the Rougaroux. I've had at least a dozen meals here and have never been disappointed. Today we met friends there who are frequent visitors to NOLA but had never visited the Rougaroux. We got gumbo, hush puppies, red beans & rice, and some poboys. The food was a treat for the taste buds (thank you Amanda! ❤️). Service was excellent as usual. The atmosphere and decor are south Louisiana dive perfection - the only thing missing is shells instead of gravel underfoot. The Rougaroux is a BHM jewel.

yummie!!!!!! very small establishment a little hidden gem in a neighborhood! everything we tried was delicious! gumbo was a little too fresh but after a few hrs when the flavors marinated (my leftovers) it was soo good! both sausages were good chicken&pork! oyster po-boy was amazing! & the sandwich (can't remember the name) was amazing as well. oh & my friend had bread pudding & potato salad as well which she said was delicious we spent about $80 which wasn't bad for all the food we got plus drinks! You won't be disappointed I've been craving both sandwiches every since & that was about 3wks ago! lol
