Great Cajun food and a really fun atmosphere! I had the Voodoo Cajun Po’ Boy, and my partner had the fish and shrimp combo. Everything was delicious with just the right amount of Cajun spice and flavor without being overpowering. The atmosphere has a fun, laid-back Southern/New Orleans vibe that fits the food perfectly. Service was incredibly friendly, and our food came out surprisingly fast. Definitely a great find in Birmingham, and we’d absolutely come back!

My wife and I tried this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. We have eaten at the original Rougaroux restaurant in this area, enjoyed it, and we wanted to try this newer one.
I am Cajun and I was very tempted to order the boudin, but it is hard for me to turn down fried shrimp. My wife ordered the shrimp poorboy and, because I wanted as many shrimp as possible, I ordered the shrimp basket.
The shrimp were excellent; light crispy batter and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fries and hush puppies that came with my order were also very good. My wife really enjoyed her shrimp as well. She ordered her poorboy with just shrimp and the bun and eat them separately. I had some of her bun and it was really good. I’ll try the boudin next time.
One thing, though, if you are ordering shrimp; the poor boy is the better value. My shrimp basket, which cost $24, had 18 shrimp and my wife’s poor boy, which was $17, had the identical number. So unless you’re set on having french fries and three hush puppies, I would suggest the shrimp poorboy.
Almost forgot - Miles provided excellent service.

Happy Mardi Gras! I couldn’t recommend this place more. My boyfriend and I come in probably once a week. His classic go to is a bowl of gumbo with a mix of the shrimp and the chicken & sausage, with a side of a boudin link. I can’t have seafood but their blackened chicken poboy is my go to. We strive to get their specials, checking every Friday on Instagram to see what creative meals they will have. We’ve had the jambalaya, kimchi braised beeler’s pork cheek poboy, thanksgiving poboy, turtle bolognese, and smoked duck and magic city mushroom gumbo. The pecan praline bread pudding is so amazing. If you are looking for a drink, their frozen ones are so good too. We have celebrated accomplishments here on many occasions. Birthdays, post grad-school interviews, and work promotions. We have been to both locations but are close to the mountain brook. The customer service is always amazing and the food comes out quickly.
If you are looking for a good Cajun food that feels like you walked into the streets of Louisiana, definitely come here. Always give us comfort and always crave it.
Our Fat Tuesday order was 2 boudin links, red beans and rice w/ sausage, shrimp and crawfish etuffee, and the king cake bread pudding. The energy in there was so good. Staff was so nice.
Shoutout to Kris, they were so nice when we visited! Iconic story about how they got the job too.
Love ya rougaroux

This is a must visit restaurant! It has some of the most delicious po-boys. The vibes inside are casual and it has a nice neighborhood feel. The shrimp po-boy is absolutely stuffed full of delicious shrimp. My favorite is the voodoo chicken po-boy, which has pimento cheese and candied jalapenos. It is life changing. The fries and cajun ranch are a delicious side. The gumbo was good but not my favorite as it had a lot of okra, but that is just personal preference. Get their po-boys and some fries and you will leave full and happy!
