    Chalmette mac & cheese

    Everybody has their favorite little spot that they go to. You know that place where they have your favorite dish they have your favorite vibe. They have your favorite music. They have your favorite people. BB's is all of that for me. While their menu flexes and goes through changes, there are certain consistencies that they have that will always keep me coming back. They have a fried catfish crawfish, étouffée, and pot roast with debris gravy. Almost everything taste like it came out of my grandmother's kitchen. And their bar is the bomb too. Every BB's has a French Quarter Mardi Gras vibe. And then always brings back good memories for me. On this visit, I got fried pickles, pollo bullets, red beans and rice, étouffée, andouille sausage, and a fried catfish fillet. My son got a fried oyster Poboy and a side of Chaumette mac & cheese. I was so happy to be in Houston eating some of my favorite food. If you're ever in the Bayou City and want to give this local chain a try, I highly recommend their happy hour. It's a great opportunity to get a sampling of what this restaurant offers for a great price. You can never go wrong at BB's. The food always comes out consistent and good. On this visit we had Neecee taking care of us. She got all of our order correct and to make sure we got our order faster teamwork made the dream work. Everyone was stopping by and checking on our table. It was phenomenal. I sure do love the hospitality of this restaurant.

    I went there the other night after leaving the Katt Williams show. I understood it was busy since it's spring break in Houston and people were out eating late, so I was prepared for a wait. We were told it would be a 25 to 30 minute wait for a table for 2. However, my friend walked around the corner and saw 2 open tables near the bar. When he mentioned it to the hostess, she seemed surprised and then said they would clean them off for us. It didn't seem like anyone had even checked. Once seated, the service was extremely slow. It took about 30 minutes just for my friend to receive a beer. When it finally arrived, it was warm. He went back up to ask if they had any colder beer and they didn't but topped off his drink. I ordered a margarita and that also took about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive. I ordered the shrimp basket with debris fries and a side of catfish. I even asked if the catfish was real catfish since some places serve swai and call it catfish. The food took a long time to come out, although it was at least hot when it arrived. By that point I honestly wasn't even hungry anymore. Unfortunately, my order was also wrong. The debris, which is supposed to be brisket, cheese, and gravy on the fries, wasn't on there, so I had to send it back and waited another 10 minutes. When the food came back out correctly, the catfish portion was extremely small and thin and honestly looked like swai. I took a few bites and thought the food itself tasted fine, so I was originally considering giving them 2 or 3 stars despite the service. However, the next day when I reheated the leftovers, I pulled the tail off and noticed the shrimp had not been deveined. It still had the digestive tract intact. I cook all the time. That is basic seafood preparation and was extremely unappetizing. I checked the rest of the shrimp and ALL of them still had the intestines and mess in them. At that point I just threw the food away. Between the extremely slow service, incorrect order, warm beer, and seafood that clearly wasn't cleaned properly, I will not be going back. What a waste of money.

    TD did a fantastic job ! She was warm and inviting cane here on a late night visit to feed my hunger pains and BB's fulfilled exactly that

    Carie is so rude. I come here all the time and we were here first before somebody else she told us to hold on one second, we held... didn't bring us no water, no chips...no nothing. Mind you the bar is not busy. Its about 6 people to be exact...PLUS she took somebody else order that were here after us. My friend ordered a beer and we never got it. She is horrible every time. Tonight drew the line for me. Smh. Do better BB's Then she gives us the receipt...no beer...no food. I love when the hispanic lady is here shes so sweet.

Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.

I am a huge Crawfish Cafe fan in general, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a very nice location in what looks to be a newer shopping center. There's tons of parking available. I can't remember exactly what day we came, but it was pretty busy at lunch time. Luckily we were able to be seated right away at a booth. Service was great from start to finish. Our main goal eating here that day was to convince our out of state friend how great crawfish is. Her one experience before wasn't great but I knew coming to Crawfish Cafe would change her mind. We started off with a few of my favorite appetizers. First off was some a sampler of oyster. I'm more of a chargrilled oyster fan and that was my favorite of the bunch even though they were all good. I just gotta have calamari anywhere I go. They do it really well here and add some Cajun flair to theirs. We also shared some of the wings. They do more of a dry Cajun rub and it is very good. Two of us went with boil combos. I like the Combo 1 which comes with 1 pound of crawfish, 1/2 a pound of shrimp, 1 corn and 1 potato. It's the right amount of food for me since I am a slow peeler. I also added a sausage link. My go to for sauces is the signature house blend which is a combination of their garlic butter and kickin' Cajun. It always hits the spot. The day we came, the crawfish were big and easy to peel. The sauce was on point and it had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Our out of town guest had the etouffee and loved it, but also loved some of our boiled crawfish as well. I think we did a solid job of converting a once crawfish hater thanks to Crawfish Cafe. This location was great and I would happily come back next time I am in the area.
