re: Boil and Roux

Since December 2014, the embattled restaurant has leased the building and parking lot at its current location in the 1700 block of Coursey Boulevard. But Grand Wall Chinese Supper Buffet, the property’s Gonzales landlord, says Boil & Roux’s owner has failed to pay its $6,144-a-month rent since last June and the proprietor is renewing its push to have a judge kick the restaurant off the premises.

Grand Wall Chinese Supper Buffet filed its petition for the eviction Feb. 28. According to those court records, Boil & Roux never asked the landlord for permission to make renovations last year when it added a fence and constructed an outdoor patio. Those upgrades to the property led to code and ordinance violations levied by Baton Rouge city inspectors, the filing stated. Grand Wall Chinese Supper Buffet says the renovations also violated the terms of the commercial lease agreement and served to further validate the motion for eviction. It’s not the first time the landlord has sought to sever its ties with Boil & Roux over non-payment. Court records show Grand Wall Chinese Supper Buffet filed a November 2020 lawsuit asking the courts to initiate eviction proceedings, alleging the restaurant was nearly $18,000 behind on unpaid rent. The property owner also said Boil & Roux failed to retain renters’ commercial insurance and cited police calls to the property as evidence of ongoing criminal and illegal drug activity.
