I see Cafe Americain is looking to renovate the former Stroubes at Juban.

Is it closed? That was quick.

No shite? They had the sign up and I thought it was opened months ago and just never heard anything about it. I know Block was putting a lot into it to get it open and now I see they are advertising a complete renovation for Café Americain. Interesting.

I hope Jason didn't get screwed on the building between the flood and a squirrelly owner

Months after the restaurant group behind the planned Stroubes Grille dropped out of the Juban Crossing development, the owner of Café Américain is set to open a seafood-focused concept at the location.

The new restaurant, called Café Américain Seafood, will feature a 200-seat dining room, outdoor patio, oyster bar and a menu focused on fried, blackened and grilled seafood.

“Our main goal is to be the go-to seafood restaurant out there for Livingston Parish,” says owner Brian Blackledge, who opened Café Américain’s Baton Rouge location on Jefferson Highway in 1987.

Stroubes Grille was to be a new concept from the partners behind downtown Baton Rouge restaurants Stroube’s and Capital City Grill. The restaurant was supposed to move into an 8,500-square-foot building at Juban Crossing. But the August 2016 flood, which inundated the shopping center with several feet of water, delayed construction on the building.

John Schneider, part of the would-be management team of Stroubes Grille, says the investors backing the project pulled out a few months ago, citing delays stemming from the flood.

“It was a $1.5 million commitment on their part,” Schneider says, adding there are no immediate plans to open Stroubes Grille at another location. “I just lost the window of opportunity.”
