Hwy 61 Roadhouse

It was packed, so there was no seating, but they wanted us to pay a cover charge.

Great jazz playing,fun place Kid-friendliness: A number of children ,in while we were eating

Love this place so much but the people I went with got food poisoning 2 times in a row. :(

The food was good and served hot. Service was really good, which surprised me because the place was packed. Mixed drinks had plenty of alcohol in them.

What a great restaurant the Roadhouse was... sadly no longer. On 1.31.24, I called to see if it would be possible to order, food to go, on 2.13.24 (Fat Tuesday). I asked how far in advance to order and the best time (for them) to pick it up, to accommodate their potential crowd. When I spoke to Alon on 1.31, he asked that I call on 2.6 to place the order, that it would be appreciated. As requested I called on 2.6 @3:00, between their lunch and dinner, spoke to Alon and placed the order with him. I asked to pick the order up at 4:00 and was told that should be fine, that he would let me know if I needed to come earlier. I arrived at 4:00 on 2.13.24, to be told there was no record of my order. I shared the above information and was told by one of the employees that I was at fault because I didn't email the order. When I asked why I should have done that when I placed the order with Alon, she and Alon both walked away without responding. It is important to note that the only reason I re-ordered the meal was because it was our Daughter's requested Birthday dinner. It took another 45 minutes for the order to be completed. A few vital take away's from this ugly experience. #1. As a (now-former) customer, I worked diligently to accommodate the restaurant in anticipation of their crowd. #2. Having grown up in an environment where the customer is always right, clearly this concept doesn't apply at Roadhouse. #3. It's very clear these behaviors have impacted their business. At 4:00 on Fat Tuesday - Mardi Gras, there were 4 people at the bar, 4 people at tables in the bar, and 4 people in the restaurant. Literally 12 people on Fat Tuesday at a New Orleans/Cajun themed restaurant. #4. Further astonishing; a kind customer at the bar offered twice to buy me a drink to try to offset the situation. Wouldn't it have been a Good Customer Service gesture for a Roadhouse employee to offer the same, or at the very least an apology. AN APOLOGY WAS NEVER OFFERED! We have fond memories of the High Quality of Service and Food when Bill Kunz owned Hwy 61 Roadhouse. So Long Roadhouse.

Their food has been featured several times on the Food Network and its spectacular. The drink selection is vast with a variety of beers and Liquors and wines. The atmosphere is exquisitely fun with a really cool wall painting that features all the artists made famous that grew up or were raised along Highway 61 from Chicago to New Orleans period an incredible mural

Usually we get gumbo whenever we see it on the menu so we ordered it the other night at 61 Roadhouse with friends. Never again!! It was the worst gumbo we have ever eaten. On top of that, the service was horrible! We won’t be back!!

The server was great. Ordered a hurricane and the glass was 3/4 full. Overpowered by the taste grapefruit juice. We got the DDD appetizer. The Cajun dumplings were great. The BBQ chicken was surprisingly good. I would get it as a main. Spaghetti with BBQ sauce and huge chunks of pulled pork. I would get this as a main. We waited over 30 minutes for our mains and what we got tasted like it was under a heat lamp for most of that time. For mains we got a voodoo chicken sandwich. Disappointed in the lack of flavor and the amount of cheese was microscopic. The gumbo was good, not as spicy as I prefer and Luke warm. The crawfish etouffee was ok, again not much flavor. Overall very disappointed in the meal. There are better creole restaurants in the area.
