Great service! Shoutout to Cali. She was wonderful and great personality! the food was great as well.

The food and ambiance of this quaint little gem hidden in the neighborhood is great. Unfortunately we came for lunch on a busy Sunday and the host had a poor attitude the entire time. Service aside - the food was delicious. We are officially in crawfish season and being our first time here we tried a variety of things from the crawfish boil to the salmon, boudin balls, seafood empanadas, salmon, chicken sausage etc. the food was pretty good - crawfish was seasoned well and overall we enjoyed the food. read more

Came here during the week for dinner and had good experience. We ordered the pachanga platter to share and thought it was enough. The oysters, fried shrimp, fries and hush puppies tasted good however the fish (tilapia, I think) was pretty bland which was disappointing. The patio area is really nice so we decided to sit outside. Our sever did a good job on checking up on us. Also the food came out pretty quickly Bathrooms needs to be cleaned though....very dirty! read more

My husband and I came here today, he wanted some Cajun food and we are visiting from Detroit. Full disclosure, I can't do spicy foods and I don't like seafood, so my menu options here were limited. We started off with the boudin balls, which were delicious - fried Cajun dirty rice, Andouille sausage, etc. - and it came with a sort of horseradish dipping sauce. We unfortunately forgot to order it with our entree order (we ordered it a few minutes later) - so it came out around the same time as our entrees. My husband ordered the blackened redfish etoufee with chalmette macaroni (topped with roast beef). I ordered the steak po'boy with a side of the chicken and sausage gumbo. The gumbo unfortunately wasn't entirely to my liking; the sandwich was very good, with crunchy bread, although seemed to have a random array of ingredients (pepperjack cheese, avocado, steak, etc.). Overall I'd return here, if only for the boudin balls, but I'd probably order something else off the menu for my main entree. read more

I stopped in to eat before a flight and I am very happy that I did. They started us off with free queso and chips that were very delicious. I would actually get a full size order of that next time! Our server informed us that they had live crawfish so we had to try a pound of that in spicy of course. The crawfish were a great size and they were seasoned well and very juicy! I really enjoyed them. For my main meal, I got the fried fish and shrimp lunch special with red beans and rice. They were fried a great deep golden brown with an excellent crunch! You cannot substitute the slaw which I was not a fan at all, everything else that came out of BB's kitchen was fantastic. I will definitely be back! read more

Dishonesty. I came in store and asked if they had jumbo crawfish, they said yes, but when I opened my order at home, crawfish was small-medium. I called back and they said they were sorry, they could not control what they would receive daily. I told they could tell me their crawfish was mixed, they did not have jumbo size. This was my first time there and my last forever. I won't recommend anyone to buy crawfish here. Honesty and respect are crucial to any business, they should learn that. read more

Amanda is the best. From the day she started until the moment she became a manager. She is absolutely the best. She teaches her staff the same courtesy she presents to every customer. I always visit her when I am in town! read more

We had a party of six for my goddaughter's birthday, and this is the place that she chose to eat at. after we finished our appetizers the waiter came out to tell us that our dinner would be here in five minutes, so we ordered another beer and the server said that the manager said no more beer after this one. I can show you the receipt. We had three beers.. when the food came out the birthday girls jambalaya was like a brick. It was stuck together and you can pick the whole thing up with your fork.. I think you need to worry about the quality of your food. For now, we are taking a break from this restaurant. read more

Went today for lunch. 15 minutes after being seated, no waiter. Hostess felt sorry for us a brought us some dip and a small handful of chips. Waiter finally showed about 10 minutes later to get our order. 30 minutes later still no food or reason given. People who came in after us ordered, ate and left and we were still sitting. We even tried changing to a Togo order. Finally just paid for our drinks and left. Not sure what was going on today but it obviously wasn't our meal. read more

If a restaurant wants my business, they must publish the current menu with prices otherwise I have plenty of options which will publish their prices. Have been to several of their locations, but I like to decide what I will order beforehand. Don't want to share, then don't care for my business. read more

Literally the best crawfish I've had all season from the size to the flavor. It was amazing. The customer service is bomb. The loaded fries were fresh and hot. Highly recommended. Check out this location. read more

I went there thinking that I was going to get the 5lb for $35 Crawfish special. When I did order, I tried to order the special and the waitress informed me that the water creature special of the day was 2 Snow Crab Clusters and Shrimp. I asked her was she sure because crawfish was always on special for Wednesdays. She went to ask and sure enough the special was Snowcrab and Shrimp. She said that the specials change weekly. My soul was crushed, because I specifically went there for that special. I asked her how much the Crawfish was and she said $10/lb. I said "for frozen Crawfish"? She said "Yes". I said a few other words pertaining to that and we laughed. My craving for Crawfish wasn't at a point where I was feining, especially due to them not being in season and other factors. I'm a bit prepared to be let down during these times. I decided to go ahead and get the Snowcrab and Shrimp special. They have three flavors which are The Tex-Orleans Way, The Louisiana Way, and The citrus Garlic Way. I chose the Louisiana Way. It came out dry with NO JUICE AT ALL. The Shrimp were cooked well, but the seasoning was on the outside of the shell and not inside. The Snow Crabs were borderline salty due to the seasoning on the outside. I do not like seasoning on the outside. It should be on the inside. That is why I chose The Louisiana Way instead of The Tex- Orleans Way. I won't get the snow Crab and Shrimp again. If I do go for Crawfish, I will have to tell them that I do not want seasoning on the outside. In the past, I always had to tell them that when I use to go on Wednesdays. read more

Decent and consistent food when needing a seafood fix. The boil shrimp are always delicious. The potatoes and corn could be more flavorful.

We come to this location because it's smaller and cozy. It always has awesome service. And they still had crawfish. They were huge and amazing! We love the food and come here often! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - 5 lbs of crawfish! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

First, let me start by saying I love BBs, but this location is horrible. The staff is never attentive and never responsive. I have gone a couple times now thinking they had an off day and man I regret it every time. I now drive to other BB locations, such as the Katy location, if I am looking for BBs crawfish. Regardless of the service, The crawfish is your standard BBs crawfish. It's definitely good when it finally comes out. Do not recommend this location at all. read more

Purchase measuring cups STAT!!!!!!!! I've already been to BB's once and had an incredible experience. The crab legs were very flavorful and cooked very well. My problem is with my experience going today, which happens to be my birthday. I was incredibly excited, thinking about it all day. The server was was kind, made us laugh, and talked with us about how he also doesn't like spicy things and prefers flavor. I dove in as soon as our boil arrived, and was overwhelmed with spice. My eyes got red, I drank two full glasses of water, and could barely enjoy the taste over the lava on my tongue. Last time we came it was still a little spicy, but a good spicy. It literally said on the menu (we got the citrus garlic) that this was "less spice, more flavor." Are we deadass? I was so sad, especially since I knew I still had to pay the $90 price point. I couldn't keep a straight face to our server and after explaining, he said this was not the first time they've had this complaint and it tends to be inconsistent. Buy y'all's kitchen measuring cups STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lowkey convinced the kitchen sent out the wrong order and didn't want to fess up cause...... less spice more flavor my ass. read more

This is not my first time visiting this business. This time was on a Wednesday and to my surprise they were busy! every other time it was me with my guest and maybe a couple other folks. The parking was no issue and getting a table was no issue either. The food was good, I had the blacken redfish and it was not bad. My guest appeared to also enjoyed their food as well. We also had the empanadas for an appetizer which I recommend they were excellent. Overall, I would recommend. As for eye candy that would be the bartender outside of that you need to bring your own. The bill was a bit steep $115, two beverages each, appetizer, and two entrees. Overal l would recommend and will visit again. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Inside - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I go to BB's when I just want to get boiled crab (when it's not crawfish season) or crawfish without having to wait 10 hours. I must admit that this BB's is my favorite. It's located on the end of a strip center, and it isn't that big inside, but they also have a lot of outdoor seating as well. The crab and or crawfish is always seasoned well. They serve potatoes, corn, sausage, mushrooms and a few other things a la cart if you'd like to add them on. I always get a couple of potatoes (they are usually pretty small) and a couple pieces of corn with extra butter and seasonings on the side. The crawfish or crab has never been overcooked at this location. The service has always been good too. If you're looking for a quick boiled seafood experience and you're in the neighborhood, I'd recommend giving them a try. I hope you like it as much as I do. read more

The service was horrible! Ordered to go and the bartender told me it would be 10 minutes which understandable since it was later in the afternoon 2-3 pm. It took almost 30-+ minutes and the food was not right. I ordered Cajun empanadas and a larger gumbo. She didn't write did my order right however repeated it back to me correctly. The bartender didn't seem to care about take out orders as we were 1 or 3 people who had been waiting for 20+minutes. She had the nerve to say sorry to her coworker cause there were so many people waiting for food. Her reasoning was extra busy but only had 2 people sitting at the bar. She asked if we wanted a water, but then didn't get it made a coworker get it instead due to her being busy. It didn't give a great restaurant clean vibe to it! Putting my arm on the bar, I felt how sticky everything was. I felt the restaurant feeling dirty and needed to wipe/rinse my arms due to the stickiness. Now the food! The Cajun empanadas were filled with nothing but a cheese sauce, and no Cajun/seafood in it whatsoever. I was giving a small gumbo bowl and it was not even an appetizer size of food! The gumbo was a small and wasn't even an appetizer size! Which didn't make sense why it took so long for an appetizer and gumbo(which is already made at the beginning of the day they just put in a bowl) I didn't have time to wait for them to fix it since it took 20-30 minutes longer than expected. I will never return! I will never recommend, in fact if someone suggested it will point them in better places. If I could give no stars I would! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Shrimp & Crab Boil Experience - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm always down for crawfish & since they were doing a special (5 pounds for $30) which isn't a bad deal for this time of the year, so my friend & I agreed upon this place. The last time I was here, it was maybe 3 years ago, the crawfish I had was so salty to where it was inedible but this time around the flavors were spot on. I ordered their special of course, a side of potato, corn, egg & their Alligator andouille link sausage. Let's start with the crawfish, the seasoning was on point, it wasn't over salted, good amount of spice but for myself I would have liked it to be more spicy because I love spicy. Corn, egg & potatoes were good. The sausage was juicy and had a distinctive taste to it, but Jesus Christ it was pricy (7.49 a link). Now here's why I gave it a 4 stars, there were several amounts of crawfish that tasted mushy & dead. They need to do a better job of taking out the dead ones, cause ain't nobody want that. I also felt that they should have cleaned it a bit better as well. Other then that the crawfish was decent. Our server D'Andre was very nice & accommodating, he came by to check up on us a couple of times & even the manager came by as well. Will I come back? Yeah, but next time I'll try something else. read more

I've visited this location a couple of times and I must say that each time was a great experience. Before I get into the food and how it taste, I would like to say that it seems as if BB's has a host of great staff. I love how each person that I've experienced have been warm and seem to enjoy being there. That combo is definitely the making of a great experience. This past Saturday was beautiful and I felt like getting out to enjoy it a bit. During this COVID season, I take every opportunity to dine on a nice patio every chance I can. With that being said, I was able to enjoy BB's patio on a beautiful Saturday. Ok- I'm ready to move to the food now. Boudin Balls - Amazing!!!!! South Texas Fire Po-boy (fajita beef, topped w/melted pepper Jack cheese, avocado, sautéed peppers and onions. Topped with a spicy pepper cheese sauce) Maw Maw's Bayou Tea - OMG Needless to say, I enjoyed my visit!! read more

I will give the service that I receive from Nikki 5 Stars and management a NEGATIVE ZERO STARS! I have been coming to this location for years and ever since Amanda & Michael left, management has gone to crap! I have sat today & watched the store flow for over an hour with not 1 manager or key hourly manager present! When you do ask for a manager, the key person will come out with an attitude! They have no manager skills what so ever and leave staff to drown! I have been in the industry for years & even worked at this location & never understood why the bartendar has to tend the bar, take to go orders and distribute to go orders for $2.13/hr & have to neglect their patrons.. for NOTHING! This store is busy during crawfish season and that is for a reason.. the service is TERRIBLE! I sit at the bar for a reason.. NIKKI.. and if she ever leaves I am sure they will lose all of their bar business! I ordered 3 lbs and my friend ordered 2.. "management" would not allow me to combine and make it 5 for $40, never even came out of the office to address my issue... As angry as I was, I just paid and left! Trust me, after crawfish season is over, I will not come 2 times a week like I usually do and they can take the Krew of Royalty and shove it! BBS's has a great concept but from top to bottom, management and staff SUCK! Lunchtime service is so slow it's sad... somethings really need to be addressed before it ends up closing down.... Management and Service really needs to be addressed!! read more

I had the very unfortunate experience of eating here last night when the nearby restaurant we originally chose was closed. I ordered the catfish and got two tiny little pieces of catfish that weren't even the size of a McFish square. This was $20?! It wasn't even good, nearly flavorless so it seems they rely heavily on the sauces they provide. To add to this the fries were inedible, they had the texture of being re dropped to warm them up and it just turned them into a chewy mess. For $20, this was absolutely criminal and there is zero chance that I'll ever return to any BB's location as this was my first and only experience with this panther of establishment. The restaurant was also very slow with only 1-2 other tables the whole time we were there, so I really don't understand why we had to wait 10 minutes after we'd finished for the take home box (don't worry, we left the awful fries that I wouldn't even feed my dogs but they got the rest of the slop). I see they have a manager replying to other comments saying they strive to be a five star establishment, but I'm also seeing you've been saying that for a while now and nothing seems to have improved. Don't bother replying unless it's to refund me, your excuses aren't working and you should be off of social media working with your staff to actually correct the many issues of this establishment. read more

We have since returned to this location. In hopes service has improved since our last experience with FRANK who completely embarrassed and harassed us we received notification from ALYSSA R. who informed us to email them and of course we didn't get any response which i'm sure will happen after this post. So i'm not sure why I found it a surprise that FRANKS is still here doing the same thing to us that to others. My only suggestion I can share is to go to the bar they are excellent or NEVER have Frank as a server. I'm also including this picture of the dirty bathroom to encourage visibility read more

From deep South east texas, I grew up on & love creole/cajun so I decided to try this place last night since it's right by my apartment. I wanted to keep it simple just to get a taste of the cooking here. I order the catfish poboy with fries to go. The catfish was fried well but really underwhelming on the flavor side. It didn't taste bad but honestly very lacking. The fries were regular, shoestring, stayed crispy through the warming station til I was done eating them. Ambiance. I could hear what sounded like live music, zydeco playing as I was walking up to the doors, I don't know why but this gave me hope lol, anyway wasn't live the music was just pretty loud. If you're in a more close intimate sitting I don't think it should be an issue but if you are with a group I think it could get difficult to hear each other. I was helped pretty promptly I'll say I had my order within like 4 minutes of standing up front. I say give it a try because the staff seemed nice, people seemed to be enjoying themselves and the food isn't all bad. read more

I had to update my review after visiting my BB's location today. I sat in the bar during voodoo hours and the bartenders KILLED it!! Made me happy to come back to BB's. Oysters were half price for happy hour! My boozy lemonade tasted amazing! My crawfish were big and filling. But the bartenders were attentive and kind. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing with my date. BB's stepped up their game, definitely will be sitting at the bar next time! read more

Excellent crawfish. We were thankful to be in the area during the season. Spicy and juicy. Service was quick and the staff are friendly.

Amazing server and good , BUT terribly rude hostess! The flavor of the crawfish was great and the drinks (Bri Bri's creed with a grand marnier floater) were delicious as always. I was even able to buy a sealed drink to go! How convenient. Thanks Seth! Our server, Jess (blond hair), was delightful. She was fast and efficient but also very welcoming. We asked her if there was a chance to sit outside on the patio since the weather was AMAZING and she said she'd check. While we waited for her to come back we decided to see if the hostess could check the table layout and let us know. Her name was Brittany (she has red hair) and she was RUDE. She yelled "that's why you need to wait for your server". When I tried to explain that I was just checking she yelled "Talk to your server!" and walked around me to help someone behind us. Wow. Not okay. Luckily we were able to still get good crawfish and have a great time. read more
