    Went here for a celebratory dinner after my daughter’s 8th grade graduation. We were a party of 7, everyone ordered something different. And everyone LOVED their food. From fish to steak to the gumbo, everything was great. And they gave my baby some beignets at the end, she had the powered sugar all over her face and in her braids. Too cute! Definitely plan to come back and check out the bar and what I believe was an outdoor patio area.

    All I can say is 10/10! I invited three of my friends to meet me at Rhoyal Bistro Live and the establishment did not disappoint! Our bartender was attentive the food was fresh, hot and definitely amazing! We ordered two margaritas flight, a strawberry mojito mocktail and two lemon drops they were 10/10 and the creativeness of our bartender made things run smoothly. She’s awesome! We also ordered two spinach dips with freshly made crispy tortillas chips, Parmesan chicken wings with fries, six rockefeller oysters and three chicken tacos that were fresh hot and delicious! Please note that we went to happy hour on a Wednesday so they only offer what’s on the happy hour menu with one expectation… one of my besties doesn’t eat meat so accommodation were made… She had fried shrimp and fries. She’s a very picky eater so for her to also say with the three of us 10/10 I was extremely happy. This will be my second time visiting. I definitely plan to come back with more of my people fasho!
