Rougarou (Imbibe)

First visit and won’t be my last! Stopped in soon after opening on a lazy summer Saturday and was rewarded with a welcoming atmosphere, friendly folks, a $3 mimosa and a crazy good oyster po’boy. Cajun French fries were filling, unusual and tasty and my friend’s fruit side was ample and fresh. Gave St. Pedro (centerish candle) a little wave on the way out and thanked him for a delightful lunch.

This is the perfect classy dive with good food that I have been looking for! It has so much character and very affordable prices, especially for being on Franklin st. I was so impressed with the food. My boyfriend got the shrimp po boy and I got the shrimp and grits. Shrimp and grits is often hard to impress me with but they did a great job! The grits were creamy and the shrimp and sausage seasoned perfectly. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

Such a cool joint. My wife and I drove 45 minutes to try it out. Wasn't many people since it's the day after Christmas. The NOLA shrimp was great, the blackened fish was awesome, and the gumbo was amazing. Got some gumbo to bring home too. Prices are very reasonable for the area. The bartender/server was a really nice guy, the cook/server/(owner I think) was really cool and nice. The digs were really cool and relaxed and go with the theme. Some guy was playing guitar outside, and maybe that's normal for the area, but not where I presently live. If I lived in Chapel Hill I'd probably go there once a week for a beer and some gumbo. Good find.

I love the vibes of this place. It is cool. It definitely has a Louisiana 👢 look and vibe to it. They have live music during the week. I definitely will be back for that. It seems like it may be quite the experience. I ordered takeout from this place. I will come back and have an in-dining experience and update my review. I tried the fried oysters. They were fried nicely but if you are talking about a Louisiana restaurant, you have to come with the flavor and the seasoning. They were lacking the Louisiana seasoning. I ordered the Mufalleta sandwich 🥪, the one with the meats (ham, salami, etc.). This sandwich 🥪 was also lacking flavor. The olive salad was too tangy. The meat-to-bread ratio was off: not enough meat compared to how thick the bread is. The fries weren't bad. They could us

I just came in today wanting to try something new! The atmosphere is perfect. The staff were super nice! However, the food was okay but i didn’t get much. I ordered the shrimp and grits and a side of Cajun fries. The portion I got for the fries was bigger than the shrimp and grits. It took forever (my whole lunch break)to get my food and I had burnt bottom pieces in my grits and not much of it.
