    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?

Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.
