Best Breakfast in the State- no doubt
Without a doubt, the best french toast anywhere... Don't believe me, read the other reviews. There's no better place for breakfast (and probably lunch) than Mama Roux's. Kim (the owner) makes everyone feel at ease and the food is out of this world. Again, DONT MISS THE FRENCH TOAST!    [24 Aug 2006 06:31:17]

It's Hot Baby
Mama Roux's had a hard act to follow. Marchells Restaurant which occupied their site for many years was awesome. I have to give Mama credit, she is doing something right. Getting in to eat here on the weekends takes determination. Be determined, it's worth it. Be fore warned the portions here are huge. I ordered two of the banana pancakes and had to take one home. They were delicious, loaded with fresh bananas. They have lots of omelet choices as well.    [24 Aug 2006 06:34:00]

A Cajun Cutie
“A Cajun Cutie”…That is what they should be calling this place. Its ambiance is as warm and inviting as Mama Roux herself. You will beat yourself up trying to figure out what took you so long to find this place.

Patiently, I sat in one of the roomy booths looking around this pleasantly decorated room for this robust Louisiana Mama togged up in a worn apron appropriately stained with all the distinctive colors of Cajun cooking, but all I could see were several waiters (men and women) bustling about assiduously waiting on tables as they engaged in delightful, but abbreviated dialog with the patrons, who were eagerly waiting for their turn to order.

“Welcome to Mama Roux’s Kitchen! Can I get you something to drink? Here is our menu. If you have any questions or just want to chat a bit, just let me know,” said Mama Roux. I never would have been able to tell her apart from the rest of the crew had she not greeted me the way she did. Wow, a real person, not just a sign in front with a name! Needless to say, I was floored. I exclaimed aloud, “So, there really is a Mama Roux!”

In this age of fast foods and uncongenial workers, I’m here to tell you that not every eatery falls short of the mark. Mama Roux is the real thing. As for the food, well, finding this out for your self is part of the appeal of Mama Roux’s Kitchen. Don’t deny yourself any longer of this culinary find. Run; don’t walk to Mama Roux’s Kitchen. Be brave and order something different each time you go.

Don’t be afraid to ask Mama Roux for a teasing taste of something new each time you go. She is a total delight to meet and you will find yourself coming back for more, and more, and more. My only regret is that I didn’t find Mama Roux’s Kitchen sooner.

Totally satisfied and craving for more,    [24 Aug 2006 06:37:27]

Overrated
I've been to Mama Roux's three times and I don't plan on going back. I don't recommend the pancakes - they are nothing special, very dense, no taste. Nor do I recommend the sausage gravy - It is loaded with a particular spice that overpowers everything.

This particular day (Sat June 17) we ordered pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast. The eggs were inedible - they were very rubbery and greasy and looked like they were spreadout on the grill and then hacked up with a spatula. We also ordered the Florentina (eggs with spinage and ham with a Mornay sause). This was good but not good enough.

And each time we've been - it's takes at least 15-20 minutes to receive your order. It's breakfast - it shouldn't take that long!!    [24 Aug 2006 06:43:15]
