While visiting family in Houston we took my husband and father in law to eat at Babin's. My father in law was not lying about the food everything we had was good! When I walked up to the restaurant I felt like I was somewhere in New Orleans the French design of the building, the cute courtyard that is indoors as a waiting area was extremely cute and there was a fountain there. Prior to being seated there was a mix up with my reservation but with it being Sunday and Father's Day I can understand. For my entree I had the Bourbon Street Pasta without the andouille sausage and it was so good and creamy. The flavor was there the next day too as my left overs. And prior to my entree I had a Greek salad that was sooooo good. Now I did have dessert but I wasn't finishing the cake it was huge it gave me vibes of the cake from the movie Matilda. I was mad that the cake didn't have ice cream because they were out. Other than that it was a good day to eat and I will definitely go back when I'm visiting.

We decided to come here for Houston restraint week lunch menu. Service was great food was so so. The seafood gumbo tastes good but it was literally brother crawfish and shrimp with side of rice. The mixed fried platter was okay nothing amazing. Drinks were delicious and not bad priced at all. I'll probably come back and try normal menus one day.

Lunch French Quarter Pasta
Adrienne C.

I ordered the French Quarter Pasta with no added cheese on top. Babins is pretty consistent with this pasta, I've had it a few times at different locations. Great taste and they give you a good portion with bread. I ordered this pasta to go and picked it up at the bar, staff was very friendly and service was fairly quick. My personal opinion, I wish they put some kind of green veggies, like spinach in the pasta. I didn't get a chance to dine in but it was pretty slow during lunch time. I def recommend for a good lunch spot!

If you have a group of people joining you or even if you don't, I always recommends please make reservations. It helps make your experience and gives the staff preparation for your visit. Ambiance:4/5 Parking is convenient and plentiful. Dress code is casual unless you're celebrating or just like dressing up. It is a little loud likely because it was a Saturday evening. Service:5/5 Service was quick and efficient. Our waitress, Helen, was friendly & attentive. Food:4/5 The food was good and came out fairly quickly. Enjoyed our time and experience.

Chicken Zydeco Pasta

The staff were really nice and the servings of food were big! I got the Chicken zydeco pasta and it was good. Great spot for seafood!

The specials....oyster extravaganza

A fabulous evening of celebration for my parents 61st wedding anniversary on a Tuesday. Leo provided excellent service despite juggling bar service, multiple tables and patrons. Food is always fresh, flavorful and the bar bites and happy hour makes for an enjoyable way to get to taste multiple items. Those Oyster Bienville are lusciously delicious. I wish there were more Babin locations but well worth the drive

We found ourselves out on a quiet Monday evening looking for a bite to eat and decided to give Babin's a try for the first time. With an almost empty parking lot and minimal crowd, we weren't sure what to expect. Our friendly waitress let us know about their Monday fish special and pointed out the large selection on the board, some varieties we had never even heard of, which was a nice surprise. We started with the fried green tomatoes and were also served a small piece of French bread for the table. The appetizer came out beautifully presented, tomato slices arranged around a marinara dip. While the dip wasn't quite my thing (I would've preferred Ranch), the tomatoes themselves were crisp and flavorful. For the main course, we ordered the seafood platter and the crab cakes. The platter was generously portioned and packed with variety. The crab cakes were a standout, moist, tender, and topped with a delicious sauce that pulled everything together. Overall, it was a satisfying and hearty meal, so much so, we needed a to-go box. Definitely a pleasant first visit!

Blackened catfish with broccoli
Mauryce J.

They have a great lunch menu for seasoned citizens. I ordered the blackened catfish with broccoli. Was very tasty. Other party members had the fried seafood plate which is very plentiful with a nice variety. The seafood gumbo was good. Warm bread is always a nice touch since a lot of restaurants have cut back on bread. Service was excellent. Arrived at 1:30 so the restaurant was not crowded but even later the table spacing was excellent for conversation. Adequate parking which is important.

Had to come back while I was in town. Skip the main stream joints and check this gem out. Great service and great food.

Schilleci's is one of my local favorite seafood restaurants in the Woodlands area. This is my first…read moretime visiting their new location, and the ambiance is nothing short of spectacular. The waitstaff is always polite, helpful, and attentive at just the right times. The food is consistently top-tier--my absolute favorite meal is the Argentine Ribeye. If you're looking for a great meal or a fantastic after-work drink, look no further. Peace! Ask for Hannah Marie or Zach.

Schilleci's New Orleans Kitchen definitely gives date-night vibes. The dim lighting, cozy seating…read moreand intimate atmosphere set the mood nicely. The menu was also a good size not overwhelming, but still enough variety to choose from. We made reservations and, although there appeared to be open seating toward the front, we were taken to the back. We ordered Hurricanes, lamb chops and the fried sampler, and I can honestly say the food was delicious. Our waiter was also kind, attentive and took great care of us. Unfortunately, something about the seating began to make me uncomfortable as the evening went on. While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the fairer-skinned patrons coming in appeared to be seated toward the front, while guests who looked more like us were being seated toward the back. I obviously can't speak to the restaurant's reasoning or whether there were other factors involved, but once I noticed the pattern, it was difficult for me to ignore. It made me uncomfortable enough that I eventually lost my appetite and couldn't finish my meal. That's unfortunate because the food itself was genuinely good and our waiter did nothing wrong. But the overall experience matters just as much to me as what's on the plate, and I left feeling uneasy about what I observed. Because of that, I personally don't see myself returning to this location.

Celebrated MIL 80th BD on a Sat night with 5 adults…read more I can't say enough good things about our experience. Big Joe was our waiter. He was amazing and did a great job talking about the menu and offering suggestions. The fact is we studied the menu before the meal...then Joe shared the specials for the night.... We did not hold back at all. Pre Dinner Cocktails- 5 stars. The Amalfi Martini, Cucumber Martini and Smoky Rye Old Fashioned were all balanced, beautiful and some of the best cocktails we have had ever! Repeated the Smoky OF as the aroma and balance of sweetness and rye with the complexity of the smoke and spicy was so crave-able. Cloche presentation was nice. Apps- 5 star. Had the calamari and show stopping seafood tower. The fry on the calamari was crisp and the fried cherry peppers were a pleasant surprise. The three tier tower was exceptional. We are not lobster fans but this was the most tender and we have ever had. Oysters, clams, shrimp all good with perfectly prepared mignonette. The touch of lemon zest on the shrimp was very nice. Cups of tuna tartar (5 star) and seafood "salad" (3 star) were nice additions. Main courses- 5+. Specials are well thought out and complement the menu well. The add on list is exceptional and allows options. Had the Veal (melt in your mouth) osobucco and added two jumbo Hokkaido seared scallops for the ultimate surf and turf. Had the Seafood risotto special with Lobster, jumbo scallop, jumbo shrimp. The show stopper here was the Roasted Branzino $95 for 2 with mixed veggies. I cannot explain how flavorful the branzino was. The herbs, salt, pepper and crispy skin was life changing. They topped it with an amazing olive oil. The belly of the fish melted in your mouth. I have to say that this restaurant is an ode to classic coastal Italian cuisine. That is to say it is about using the best ingredients in a simple manner to yield beautifully delicious results. Already thinking about the next time we can visit again as we are from Galveston.

I ordered a pasta dish with shrimp and added scallops because I really enjoy scallops and eat them…read moreoften. Unfortunately, the scallops had a noticeable odor and tasted off, which made me feel they were not fresh. I mentioned this to our waitress, and I was surprised that no replacement or alternative was offered. I wasn't expecting anything extraordinary, but some acknowledgment or effort to address the issue would have been appreciated. Aside from the scallops, the rest of the food was okay. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we chose to sit outside, which made for a very enjoyable evening. Note: I would avoid ordering the scallops since they seem to not be fresh.

Landry's is one of the original seafood restaurants in The Woodland's, and it's only gotten better…read more We had my Birthday celebration here, the food and service were both amazing. This is a delicious Cajun seafood restaurant, their menu will have you will thinking you're in Louisiana without ever leaving The Woodland's. This restaurant is stunning and picturesque both inside or waterfront outside. This is the perfect spot for Celebrating a Birthday, Anniversary or Special Occasion.

A Fantastic Birthday Celebration at Landry's Seafood in The Woodlands!…read more We recently celebrated my birthday at Landry's Seafood Restaurant in The Woodlands, Texas, and it was the perfect choice for a memorable afternoon. The restaurant has that classic warm, welcoming coastal vibe with beautiful wood accents and views that make you feel like you've stepped away from the hustle without leaving The Woodlands. The energy was lively but comfortable, ideal for a family birthday dinner. Our server, James, was outstanding. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our celebration feel special. He knew the menu inside and out, offered great recommendations, and kept everything running smoothly with a smile. James really elevated the experience, top-notch service all the way! For food, I went with the Stuffed Shrimp Pontchartrain, and it did not disappoint. The shrimp were generously stuffed with delicious seafood, then smothered in a rich white cream sauce with mushrooms that brought everything together beautifully. Paired with the savory dirty rice and fresh seasonal vegetables, it was a hearty, flavorful plate that felt indulgent yet perfectly balanced. I also started with a cup of Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, and it was excellent--packed with flavor, the perfect spicy kick, and loaded with sausage and tender chicken. It warmed me up and set the tone for a great meal. Everything came out hot and fresh, portions were generous, and the flavors were spot-on. Landry's delivered that quality Gulf Coast seafood experience we were hoping for right here in The Woodlands. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious spot for a birthday, date night, or just a great seafood dinner in the area, I highly recommend Landry's. We'll definitely be back--thanks again to James for making our night extra special! Highly recommended!

It matters that they make everything in-house. And the owner proudly talked about sourcing locally…read morefrom Tomball and such, something we really appreciate. We ordered Fried shrimp, with creamed spinach and onion rings. The flavor of the food was good, well-seasoned, and it was new to me to have leaf spinach served in a cheese sauce and I decided I like it! If you like your food spicy, then order the Shrimo Cocktail. It was a little spicy for me, but the flavors were good. We ordered a stuffed baked potato with butter, sour cream and chives. The potatoes skin tasted great, not sure how it was seasoned, but we liked it and the prosaic boring stuffed baked potato was really delicious when I poured the remainder of my spinach's cheese sauce over it. Desserts are homemade, and today's offerings were crème brûlée and Key lime pie. They weren't bad. The owner was welcoming and I liked our nice chat, particularly as they were short-staffed as somebody had not turned up for work. Overall, we had no real expectations going in and thought the food tasted much better than we had anticipated. Try it.

So I hear Wednesday is their big day. It's Prime Rib day. I called a day ahead to see what hours…read moreit's served. The owner who answered the phone told me that actually the employees of one of the companies in the area reserved like the whole cow. I think he said 64 lbs or something like that. Savages. But he did say they could save a piece for us if I told him when I wanted to come in. I asked him for a good time to come. He said usually they're done cooking it by 12:30 pm and then it needs time to cool down. So he suggested mid-afternoon like around 2 pm. Ok. Well what the heck. A late lunch it is then. I've always been a whore for a good cut of meat. When we got there I told the host/waiter that we had a reservation and he just replied ok and didn't bother asking our name or checking us off a list or anything. Understandable I suppose since the place was empty. When we got the menus my first observation was that a number of the prices were higher by several dollars than as listed on their website, including the prime rib. The waiter replied it's just a few bucks, and then noted it's actually been like that for a few months. When I talked to the owner later he said they're waiting for the lady who handles their website to make the update. I've posted pics of their current in store menu so you can know the current prices. I think the waiter was new. Because he didn't ask how we wanted our prime rib cooked (I had to ask him later if we have a choice). Also when I asked for more horseradish (it doesn't come with the prime rib automatically) he took my plastic thimble looking cup and just refilled it, which seemed a bit unsanitary and odd. Also I had to ask for ketchup for the onion rings. When I was signing the bill he just hovered and immediately took it. It just felt weird. I dunno. Maybe his shift was ending or something. I know this sounds weird to comment on but the water tasted off. It's the first time I've ever said that. But it just tasted weird. I couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe like it already had some lemon in it? Yet there was a lemon slice on the rim of the glass. So I'm not sure. Anyway onto the prime rib. I thought it was ok. My kid absolutely loves prime rib and that's the real reason we came. But she just didn't like it here. However it is one of their most popular dishes and the way they sell out obviously folks in the area are ga ga for it. So definitely come give it a try for yourself. It comes 2 sides but not a baked potato which is $5 extra. I love baked potatoes but the extra cost made me not want to get it. The waiter said the mashed potatoes do not come with gravy but actually the sauce that comes with the prime rib is pretty thick and could easily be used for this. I thought the cream spinach was good as well as the fries and onion rings. Note the QR codes on the bill didn't work to pay. I'm not sure why. I think the waiter said something was wrong with their computers. When we asked for a to go box the lid on my gravy container didn't securely close. The waiter said that actually all of the containers have that problem. Yikes. Well just be careful you don't spill it in your car. I guess the waiter told the owner my kid didn't like the prime rib and when we were boxing it up the owner came to our table and was apologetic and super nice about it and offered to comp her plate. Now that's old school class. I've been to some of these newer places where they couldn't give a crap. But the owner here actually cares that people have a good time. So kudos to him. Their menu is extensive. And they have something for everyone. They also have a kids menu with reasonable prices. The monte cristo and pork knuckle were catching my eye. Maybe another day.
