Rougarou (Imbibe)

Abby Burris

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!

I ordered delivery from this spot. Got dissed w the normal corporate bullshit. Owner reached out to me directly. Unreal! Why can’t we just go back to this one-to-one accountability? Ethically, this place is 4 trillion stars. Support this real enterprise. So much love.

This is absolutely one of the best places in Chapel Hill or Carrboro. The atmosphere, the music, the people, the pure quirkiness and beauty. Please keep going! I’ve eaten about everything on the menu but I think the specials are often the best.

Great food! Really enjoyed everything I ordered and will be eating here frequently. Crazy amazing softshell crab, great fried oysters, love the pickles and the potato salad was wonderful. This is the real deal for great fresh seafood with great flavors located right here in CH. Go forth & 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.

Loved the lunch special. I got the fish sandwich blackened. I wish they had fresh sweet tea. It's a very unique option on Franklin Street. There's often live music too at night

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.

We wanted to try Imbibe and sample some Cajun food. I ordered a half Mufeletta and my partner in crime, an oyster Po Boy. And since I hadn't had a cheese curd in 20 years, I had to order them as well. Probably no surprise, it was a lot of food. The "half" Mufeletta was huge! I ended up only eating half of the half. It was quite good, certainly something different for me. My wife thought her Po Boy was fantastic. I had a bite and it was super good. The cheese curds were as good as I remembered. So, Imbibe was a nice experience. I'll look forward to visiting again and trying some different items from the menu.
