    I used to live in New Orleans, so I have a high standards for Cajun food. BB's Tex-Orleans does the classics well, with a Texas twist. I've lived in Houston now for many years and finally got the chance to visit to try their poboy, ironically for 713 Day (H-town represent!) A poboy is near and dear to me, the poor man's sandwich that continues to comfort and satisfy, time and time again. Shrimp is my favorite and this one gave me some major NOLA nostalgia. The bread was crispy on the outside, with a soft inside, it was stuffed with fried shrimp, and came fully dressed (IYKYK, don't skip on the pickles.) I will say that their fries were not my favorite, more of a shoestring style, while I prefer a thicker fry but came with a generous portion. During 713 Day they had a special for this sandwich for $7.13. While I only came for the sandwich, I did see that they have a number of other specials such as $5 frozen cocktails for the whole month of July, and happy hour Monday - Friday 3-6pm. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the service was top notch. I actually stopped by by myself and the server stopped by several times to check on me and even brought me some complementary chips and dip while I waited for my meal. Whether you're dining alone or with a large group, BB's seems like they are there to take care of you and show you what southern hospitality is all about.

    First time at BB's this season - Crawfish if you don't know. We come here a lot. Service is friendly Ciara did a great job. We started with the Frickles and Smoked Boudin Link. Then on to the main event. Crawfish were good size for this time of year. BB's tends to start later than others to get the larger mudbugs. Beer is always cold. Drop in. We'll be back.

    Ismael was our server today he was awesome attentive and the crawfish were awesome as well it's and of season so sizes varied

    Just a little snack, this boil was just enough. 1/2 lb shrimp, crab cluster, alligator sausage, corn and potatos. The crab cluster was a little small, but otherwise all very good and with it. My partner had the crawfish boil which he tends to like each year, one of his favorite spots for crawfish. I'm not a crawfish person but he said they're pretty good size there right now too. Carla was our waitress and she was so friendly, great service!! Everyone there was and usually is super friendly! We sat out on the patio because it was nice weather, nice patio to relax, eat and have a drink!

    Bb's cafe is in my rotation of restaurants during crawfish season. Currently (March 2026) they have a lent special with one snow crab cluster, 1 lb of crawfish, shrimp, 1 corn, and 1 potato for $29.99! What a steal! Other menu items I tend to order are the gumbo and fried platters! They have happy hour during the week, I believe 3-6pm

    Fried pickles fried in fish oil... YUK!,
    Gold T.

    Hey I ordered fried pickles app yesterday and thought they tasted weird. I warmed them up for lunch and again they tasted weird. I realized the fried pickles were fried in fish oil, YUK! Have you ever thought ppl have allergies and what if I had a reaction? This is advice to you as a restaurant, please don't fry everything in the same oil, French fries, pickles and fish, you will kill someone! I will not order fried pickles in the future.

    I'm landing in Houston at 8:45 this Friday night, do I need to reserve for two or can I just walk in?

    My 12 yr old son is just starting to eat crawfish. Can I order some with no heat (spicy)?

    Yes. Just explain what need. You can get him his own pound or so.

    I didn't see a drink menu. Do they serve beer there? If so, what kind of beer? Thanks!

    Yes, they serve domestic and imported beer, some wine, and a few mixed drinks as well such as hurricanes. As for what kind of beers, think mainstream beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc) along with local craft selections and a few seasonal.

    What's the price of the crawfish?

    $9.99 last time I went. But you should call for a daily rate.

    Are they Sellin crawfish already?

    Yes! I had a couple of pounds last week!!

    Do you serve crawfish right when u open?

    Yes Ma'am!

    Does anyone know what they are charging this year for crawfish?

Feels good when an establishment takes pride in their customer's feedback and puts a plan into action. Honestly, part of me was hoping that last time was just a fluke or an off day. This time around, everything from the service to the food was great. We had a 12:30 Sunday reservation for two and opted to sit inside this time. We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine. Everything came out beautifully timed, almost like a perfectly paced three-course meal, which obviously made the whole experience feel elevated and relaxed. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and on top of everything without being overbearing. I also tried the prickly pear aid (non-alcoholic), and it was super refreshing, definitely worth ordering if you like a little tartness to cleanse your palate. Overall, this visit felt like a completely different experience than last time. It delivered the elevated experience a place like Eunice promises and what I was used to originally.

Unfortunately, the overall dining experience was disappointing due to both the service and the food quality. Our server was very slow throughout the evening. After ordering cocktails, it took approximately 20 minutes for them to arrive. We then ordered our meals... I had the burger and fries, while my girlfriend ordered the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.

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. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

You order your food at the bar, my friend, and I both got a moscato. And no, thanks, it is box wine, and it was flat, and it wasn't good. My other friend ordered An old-fashioned and she said, it tasted pretty good. I ordered the catfish and grits, 10 out of 10. The catfish was fried perfectly. The grits were nice and creamy I. Also got a side of red beans and rice and they were fire. Really, really good. My friend additionally got the grits with shrimp. She said it was good. Now. Would I return back to this place? Probably not. Would I order pickup? Absolutely because the the one big issue, as someone else stated, the food is good, if you can get it, it took an hour for our food to come out. We had finished our drinks and were parched. They don't offer you water because again, you have to order at the counter and the food took an hour to come out and to the point some people that ordered after us got their food before us. I think there is literally only one person working in the kitchen. My recommendation is, if you want to check this place out, come partially full and with patience or call in your order for pickup. So yes, the food is good but I will not be dining in again
