Mama Roux, a Newburgh restaurant that prided itself as serving up “Southern Cuisine Meets Country French,” announced it was closing within the next two weeks.
Sterling Knight, the owner of the eatery on 96 Broadway, reported her decision via social media.
“Boy that was a fun ride!” she posted. “Mama’s going on to a new chapter. Thank you to all of our guests for supporting us for the last 4 years. Our last day of service will be October 8th.”
Taking its name from a classic Dr. John song Mama Roux offered live music and monthly drag brunches along with its New Orleans-inspired menu.
“Please come and give us love and hugs,” added Knight, a former model who also co-owns the Newburgh restaurant Ms. Fairfax. “Stay tuned for closing parties to celebrate all of my amazing staff and the time we have spent together.”
