Rice and Roux

I enjoyed the food so much I chose to eat lunch here twice in a one week period. I ABSOLUTELY recommend their jambalaya with pork OMG was it delish. With the small portion $8.99 you can select one side. The tender cuts of pork were so flavorful and tender great smoked wood flavor. The andouille slight spiced flavor greatly compliments the dish. The staff is so friendly they just added to the over all experience. They do a fabulous job of guiding my choice, delivering my food to my table and maintaining a clean and welcome restaurant.I will definitely dine here in the future if travels bring me back to Baton Rouge. Thank you for a memorable lunch.

It was a few exits from my hotel. Walked in and only one other couple in the place. It was clean and nice looking but your normal quick service location. Staff was nice. Treated me once I got to counter to order. I had already looked at the menu before going over so I knew what I wanted. Ordered the chicken and sausage jambalaya with potato salad. They were out of the chicken and sausage jambalaya so I had to wait about 20 mins for them to make a new batch. That was ok because I knew it would be fresh and hot. Waited at a table for my food to go. Took it back to the hotel. The jambalaya had a good flavor to it. The chicken was a rough chop so you got small pieces and large pieces which was nice. Some of the rice was a bit dry and crunchy but over all it was good. The potato salad was good but I think the potatoes were a bit over cooked and make the salad taste like mashed potatoes. I could not see the sweet relish or taste the crunch but I know it was in there, the potato salad had a sweet taste to it. I like it better than mustard based ones. The cornbread was on point, only missed some butter. It was sweet and good consistency. The banana pudding was better the next day after I throw it on the fridge. Not sure if the short drive made it warm up or if their fridge was not working too well. It did need a little more fresh banana chunks for my liking but it was good over all. This location is recommended.

So far...as my quest does continue, this is the best chicken and sausage gumbo in Louisiana. Although I've tried most things on the menu, it's my go-to favorite, along with a side of green beans and a smoked sausage link. Whenever I'm near Baton Rouge, this is where I stop to feast. Approved! :)

Glad we found this restaurant online as we were driving to Baton Rouge. We only had 30 minutes so we called ahead and the food was ready when we arrived.Ate, it was good. A perfect stop along our cross country road trip. Jambalaya was my favorite. But all seemed to be missing some flavor so the hot sauce was a must. Overall enjoyed it! Wish they had okra

I was told about this establishment and I went to sit in and enjoy some lunch with a friend. The food was making and so was the service. The inside was very clean and neat. I recently ordered from DoorDash and the food still arrived AMAZING as ever. I highly reccomend their fried fish and cornbread. 10/10

Ok on Friday, 11/22/24, I had a taste for some gumbo as it was the first cool night. I went to Rice and Roux and ordered both a large seafood (shrimp and crab) and a chicken and sausage gumbo, roughly $40. I was so disappointed when I got home and opened my containers and they were both filled with just gumbo base/liquid. No proteins or vegetables. The seafood had what tasted like the remnants of crab. So I had to add shrimp, sausage, chicken, green onion and parsley to them. That was completely unacceptable. The ONLY good thing was the base had a good flavor, but I feel cheated.

Traveling from California, stopped in Baton Rouge. Found this place online. Great food. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. Don't know why the hotel didn't suggest this place when I asked about restaurants in area. Delicious. Must try!

This place is horrible they have the worst customer service i dropped my food because of the poor quality of the bags that they give and this so called managers name kalen Caleb whatever was rude and i willBe calling bright and early to make another complaint

The female cashier on duty around 6 pm was not friendly at all. There was absolutely no one in the restaurant and when I approached the counter she couldn't be bothered to smile or say anything until I said "hi". She seemed bothered that we were even there. She was however efficient in taking our order.I got a small jambalaya dinner (chicken & sausage) with potato salad and cornbread. My husband got the sampler (chicken & sausage jambalaya), chicken gumbo, red beans & rice with a roll. The chicken & sausage jambalaya portions were generous, but it was so dry and had no spice or real flavor to it.The gumbo was also a good portion, but again no spice. It was only better than the jambalaya because it had the liquid. The chicken tasted like it had been grilled which was off-putting.The potato salad was basically cold mashed potatoes with a few lumps and basically no flavor. The red beans & rice were the best part of the entire meal. Not because they were so great, but in comparison to everything else we had it was the best item.The cornbread was ok, but nothing special. At least it was moist. Same goes for the dinner roll.The prices were very reasonable, but since there was nothing yummy it didn't matter.Also, the dining area was cute, but the floors looked very grimy like they never get a thorough cleaning.The women's bathroom was gross and the toilet was not secure to the floor which you don't find out until you sit down. It was sort of scary because it lunged forward loudly. My husband said the Men's bathroom was also not great.We were hopeful trying a local Cajun place as we traveled through Louisiana, but we were extremely disappointed by this experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We make better jambalaya at home with Hillshire spicy sausage.

Food tasted good. Chicken and sausage jambalaya. Could have used more seasoning but that's my taste. But the portion was way small. Probably 1/2 size of jambalaya shoppe. It came in a small elementary cafeteria plate that was mostly empty. I left hungry For that I give 3 stars
