| - So my boyfriend and I went out to dinner last night at Roux. We're both big fans of southern food, and since we also live in the Junction, we were pretty excited about it.
The service was ok, it took a long time to get even a greeting from our server. The table next to us was seated 20 minutes after we were and we all finished our meals at the same time, if that gives you an impression. However, they couldn't have been more concerned or gracious when I had to send back my meal.
I don't generally send back meals. I usually just eat it and never go back, But this was inedible. I ordered the fried chicken with rustic mash and spicy slaw. The slaw was ok. The "rustic" mash was peeled white potatos that were boiled then half-ass mashed with big hard chunks in them. They were not seasoned. Just potatoes.
The chicken was the reason I had to send it back. I'm a big fried chicken girl, and never in my life have I had anything as fatty as that. The meat was two thighs and a drumstick, which are interesting choices for a $16 meal. There was nearly no meat to be found, and what was there was surrounded by globs of fat. It was gross. The breading was very sweet too, which I found strange.
My server came back to the table and suggested that I order something else, because the chef said it was all that fatty. So I got the mussels. They were ok.
