What sucks is that this review is from March 1st, when the boil menu wasn't running. If their boil menu is running now, this reviewer just screwed Boil & Roux over.

It blows. And it will always blow. Move on.

How long have they been open and how much time do they need?

If the Advocate is giving you a bad review, you are bad. Real bad. No amount of time can fix it.

The print version complained about the shrimp, "our collective hearts dropped to find that they weren't boiled live and obviously weren't boiled fresh, either." I didn't take anything seriously after that point, which came in the third paragraph.

They've been open for a couple of months in a town that doesn't get that many new restaurants opening. The reviewer said they were disappointed they weren't serving boiled crawfish yet. Why is that bad? It's more of a heads up that "hey if you're going there for crawfish, might wanna confirm first." How are they in March, and not serving boiled crawfish yet?
I had a cup of gumbo up there, it wasn't nearly good enough to make up for the clusterfrick that is how that place is run and horrid service.

quote:I think they opened on or around February 4th. The review was made a little less than a month after they opened, which is fine. I'm just saying don't knock a restaurant for not serving something three weeks ago that they could be serving today. (Hopefully for them the boil menu is running.)

understatement.
I went there tuesday at lunch. not crowded at all. I had to sit myself then go find the waiter after 10 minutes of not having one.
The waiter I waved down took my drink order and then brought me my menu. after a good while, he came back and got my order. my food was brought to me a little longer than i expected it would, but nothing to worry me. The thing is, he forgot to bring me silverware with the meal. I asked for some and he said hed be right back. a little while later he walked back out and waited on another table. after my food sitting there for 10 minutes, I decided to get up go to the bar to get my own. The bartender looked at me like I was crazy when I asked if I could have some silverware. The waiter didnt come back out to check on me until after I had finished eating and brought me the check.
i wont go back.

Just to clarify, I have zero doubts that this restaurant will close soon, probably a couple months after crawfish season. I'm just commenting on the useless review.

I was just thinking that newspaper reviews are typically lenient to the respective restaurant.
I will say that the cheese dip looks damn good

Such a shame that Boil & Roux won't last long due to horrible ownership, management and average food. I guess when it shuts down we'll get yet another Greek & Lebanese or Indian place opening in that spot.

I wish Calendars would come back ..
