A little hole in the wall spot on Franklin street! My friend and I came here on a Friday night, and it was not that busy. The inside was a dimly lit, vibey space with posters and signs all over the walls. You seat yourself (there are no servers), and you order/pay at the bar. They bring your food over for you though, and it came pretty fast. I ordered the blackened fish po boy with a salad on the side. The fish was nice and tender and packed with flavor! It was pretty spicy but I think it had the perfect amount. The bread was crunchy and fresh, but I think it was a little too much bread compared to the amount of fish I got. It's a unique spot with pretty good food, so when I'm in the mood for Cajun food, I'll be sure to come back.

Stopped by Rougarou for lunch today, I was impressed. Great food, great service, and great prices. Got a PoBoy and potato salad, yum! In my younger years I worked in southern Louisiana and this place brought back memories. Looking forward to going back to Rougarou soon to try out some of the other menu items!

This food was absolutely amazing. It was fresh and tasted delicious. I could tell that the food was made with a lot of effort, care, and love. The dishes were well thought out and being that NOLA flavor here to Chapel Hill. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and I can't wait to go back! Excited for some of the live jazz.

This is a Hidden Gem!.... Absolutely fabulous restaurant with Incredible food and Mandy the owner is simply superb! They have draft beers no one else has, homemade mulled wine, and Mandy's mother makes the desserts which are impossible to beat! Friday is fish special day and the food there is always incredible and made with loving care! I really can't recommend a place higher! Go there with your friends and enjoy a reasonably priced excellent meal with wonderful entertainment most nights!Vegetarian options: The chef Mandy will work with anybody in any way with their diet restrictions in any way that she can. She goes above and beyond the Call of Duty for each and every customer!

One of the coolest places you'll find to eat in Chapel Hill! Unless you hate flavor I guess. The grits bowls are literally life changing, and I almost left my husband to marry the mussels.I overheard some kiddos tonight telling the owner/chef that they rate her food 100 out of 10 and I can't disagree.

Please improve your 'mimosas'. Not on ice...not with orange drink. Your breakfast sanwiches esp the vegan sausage were good.

Rougarou offers a unique Cajun dining experience right on Franklin street. Very reasonably priced and unique for the area. The staff is very friendly and there is wonderful regular musing some nights.
