Roux Seafood Kitchen. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Huntington Beach (California).
Description
You gotta check out Roux Seafood Kitchen if you’re anywhere near Huntington Beach. Seriously, it’s like a little slice of Louisiana plopped right onto Beach Blvd, and they’ve got that Cajun vibe down pat.
So, we rolled in on a Friday evening, primed for some good eats. They open at 11 AM, which is perfect if you want to grab lunch or kick off a dinner with friends. The parking? Not too shabby either, which can be a nice surprise in a bustling area.
Now, let’s talk about the food. It’s hit or miss for some folks, I guess. I mean, the gumbo had a kick, but word on the street is that it was… well, a bit burnt-tasting for some. Others claimed the shrimp boil was the star of the show. It’s like ordering at a buffet: sometimes you hit the jackpot, other times you’re left wondering what you just ate. My friend’s lobster, though, came drenched in creamy noodles that they said didn’t quite jam, lacking the zest they were looking for.
Yet the service? Oh man, that’s where Roux shines. Nathan, our waiter, seemed like he was on a mission to make everyone feel special. He was super attentive and friendly, reminding me of those waiters you see in fancy spots who treat you like royalty. You almost feel guilty about eating!
But here’s the kicker: No alcohol yet! You can bring your own bottles, which is a bit of a mixed bag—you know, some folks might find it a hassle. If you don’t want to slog through a soft drink menu, just grab a bottle before heading over.
Families, heads up! The kids' menu options? They’re almost non-existent, which could be a bummer if you have little ones in tow. But, a solid appetizer of chicken tenders could save the day, right?
Now, despite some of the misses, a lot of reviews highlight the freshness of the seafood and the delightful atmosphere. The charbroiled oysters? Don’t sleep on those; they might steal the show! The place feels like it’s still refining its craft, but isn’t that part of the charm of finding a new favorite spot?
If you’re on the hunt for something different, Roux Seafood Kitchen might just tickle your taste buds—just maybe keep those expectations in check!
