"My friend and I decided to finally try the brick and mortar business out of a food truck I had visited awhile back. If I may be honest, the service at the food truck had left me underwhelmed so I wasn't in a hurry to visit their location. After a year or so of being open, today was the day we decided to go. The ambiance was nice, and put me in the feel of a cool date spot or a nice lounge. Music was playing loud on the speakers but it wasn't a deal breaker. Upon sharing with the lady at the register that this was our first time there, she politely told us how to order. She was super pleasant and bubbly which definitely was a highlight of our visit. I opted for the Cajun chicken Alfredo with sausage and my guy ordered the mild lemon pepper wings and fries. My food came out about ten minutes before his. Just on looks alone I was skeptical. Keep in mind it had been a few years since I ordered from their food truck but I remembered their Alfredo to be a winner. This order was not. The chicken was very dry and not plentiful at all. There was no Cajun flavor anywhere near this dish though you could see that it was sprinkled on top. The sausage was overcooked but because it's Conecuh sausage (iykyk) it was tasty as it always is. The Alfredo sauce was very bland, lacked any sort of flavor that I remember it having, and didn't cover all of the noodles. My friend stated that his wings were on the spicy side (he ordered mild) so he would hate to see what the hot flavor profile was like. He couldn't finish them all and decided to take them to go. Our food came out in to-go containers anyway even though we were eating in. Not sure if that was on purpose or they had run out of their usual plates. I really wanted to like this place. I had recommended it before to a friend that wanted a place that served good drinks since I had heard this was a high point here, and her and her family loved their experience. As for our food, it left me wanting to go to another restaurant where Alfredo is served the right way. Don't let my review stop you from trying this place out. Maybe it was a new cook. Maybe they were having an off day. Maybe there are better choices on the menu. I don't know. As for me, I don't plan on returning anytime soon."

"I ordered off Uber Eats. The food truck used to be delicious but this location isn’t. I ordered wings and fries. The wings aren’t of good quality as far as the meat & hot wings were barley tossed in sauce. The chicken was over cooked and hard to chew. The fries were warm but soggy. I also paid extra for sauces and I didn’t receive the one that was included nor the one I paid for. I also tried calling 2x and didn’t receive an answer. A waste of money."

"100/10 experience! The lemonade and food are to DIE FOR! The servings are very pleasing, all dishes are setup to be pleasing to the eye. Every time we come here, it never disappoints. The band sounded beautiful, the singers voice was as smooth as butter. Service was speedy and friendly. This place is a must try in Bham, AL! You’re missing out if you don’t try it at least once!"

"Encore Rouge: A Downtown Birmingham Gem Encore Rouge brings a unique blend of upscale street food and Southern charm to downtown Birmingham. As the ROTN crew—Matt, Grim, and Carrie—we had the chance to try their new brunch menu, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The live band added an energetic yet relaxed vibe that perfectly suited the space, making it more than just a meal but a memorable outing. The attentive staff ensured everything ran smoothly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The Food The brunch menu offered a mix of classic and creative dishes. The breakfast platter—eggs, grits, sausage, and a waffle—was simple yet satisfying. The shrimp and Cajun grits packed bold flavors, while the peach egg rolls offered a sweet and crispy treat. The breakfast dip was rich and perfect for sharing. To top it all off, their signature lemonades were refreshing and delicious, a perfect complement to the meal. Final Thoughts Encore Rouge is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun and flavorful dining experience in Birmingham.

"Food was really good! Staff was helpful and a fun atmosphere. Music was a little loud(just made it hard to talk to each other), but not much talking happens when you start eating anyway!!"
