Roux 61 - Seafood restaurant in Natchez - 453 US-61, USA

The decor of the establishment was very good; made a person want to be there. The drinks (Bloody Mary) were very good but a long time to arrive. The Buffalo wings (breaded) were very good! Amazing sauce. But now for the main course. 10oz sirloin with Cesar salad and stuffed potato. $30.00!!! Ouch The salad was great The stuffed potato was more like a potato casserole than a stuffed potato. Yuck Now the main part… the steak! Terrible! Absolutely terrible! Medium rare… It was salty beyond edible ! With no sign of our waitress at any time after our food was served; I had no choice but to wipe it off with my napkin using my water from the glass. My wife’s steak (medium) Was so incredible rare that it bled across her plate. Again… no waitress. Her not being a complainer chose to try and eat around the cold bleeding meat. She finally gave up and just stopped eating. When our waitress finally returned and heard our disappointment with the food she went and summoned the manager. A complete lack of customer care from the manager. Basically told us about the “fine print” on the menu about how the establishment won’t be held responsible for poorly cooked meat. Wow! She then simply walked away! But of course we won’t be back… we’re on holidays and live 2000 miles away. They don’t care. So take warning! Find a different restaurant in Natchez. Anything is better than this garbage.

Service was great. Food was good but salty. He had the Oyster Po-boy and I had the Oyster Platter. But the coleslaw was the best thing I have ever eaten here. We always sit in the same booth. It was kinda busy for it being a Saturday evening. We will be back to try other menu items. Our waiter was very nice and attentive but I forgot his name.

We are from Texas and know what good seafood is! Roux 61 is amazing!!! We had coconut shrimp and fried catfish- both were delicious! Their hush puppies are to die for as well! The cheesecake is out of this world! Clean restaurant and great service by Vicky! Highly recommended!

We had a very nice dinner. Service was friendly and efficient. The reason I can't give 5 stars fir the food is, even though everything was delicious, the portion sizes are insane, especially our pasta plates. I think there was a whole pound of pasta on my plate. On the other hand, the side salad portion was ridiculously small. The menu is not designed for health-conscious people. No vegetables offered except salads. The lobster cream sauce is delicious but resulted in acid indigestion... I would eat there again but would share my plate with 3 other people or take some home, and add an extra-large salad! I also glanced at the size of their desserts and they're enough to serve a family of 8!

Passing by and turned around because it was obviously an outstanding restaurant...it was/is. Great oysters, drinks steaks, kids friendly.

Sometimes you give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, but bad service is bad service. Let's start with the long wait after i was told that it would be 20 to 25 min to be seated in which turned into an hour. Party of 7 and a toddler. Because it was taking so long I walked in to see what the issue was. I spoke with a manager and was met with the servers were on break. Yes on break when u have empty rooms with tables and no one in there working. Empty table all around. Management needs to do better with arranging the seating and assigning servers. I saw them seat parties of 4 and 5 with ease which puzzled me. This experience was unacceptable. Never did the manager come around to check to see if everything was ok. The server was not the best, she took long periods to come back to Check on everyone and bring items or refill drinks. Con: no substitutions on the menu options but charge an up charge for everything. Con: portions for the seafood platter it was more of a seafood plate. 2 boiled shrimp, strips of Catfish(filets cut in strips) 3 to 4 fried shrimp and 3 fried oysters and some fries and a cup of seafood gumbo that had a burnt horrible taste and black roux. All for 32 dollars a rip off. Con: wait time They need to reevaluate how the run business, not worth the price in which you pay. Con: the cole slaw was disgusting. This place does not have the quality to charge what they charge. The picture makes it look like a lot but you can count the seafood easily.

Stopped there for lunch. The place was clean, bathrooms were clean, soap and paper towels dispensers in the bathroom worked. I had a roux burger. It came out done right. Food was brought out fairly quickly despite it being lunch time. Fries were done right, not too salty and not too bland. The burger was big and every bit as promised. I was very happy with the food and the place and it was definitely heading for a solid 5 star until I got my bill where I noticed they charged me extra 3% for paying with the credit card. That left a bitter aftertaste because I spent $34 on a lunch l, left a $5 tip and they felt they needed to stuff me for an extra $.93 on the way out. The parking situation is not very good. I parked in the slot in front of the restaurant and somebody else parked behind me near the curb leaving the absolutely minimal room for getting out.

Really amazing food! The Bloody Marys were some of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend!
