    I came here for the $18 waterman special. It did not disappoint. The food was hot, seasoned, and filling. I added the vegetables for an extra $5.99, but it was worth it. The only downside that I would say is that the shrimp was a little fishy. Besides that, the food had great flavor. Kids also eat free on a Tuesday, so that was a plus! The service could've been better, but our server was friendly.

    BBs is okay. The food is generally good but the service is pretty bad, especially if you're picking up food to go. They always take sooooo long! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The new remodel does make the place look nicer & more lively[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but there isn't any space to wait for your food, there's no To-Go area pick up so you're sort of at the mercy of the bartender or host to remember to get your food. In the meantime, you're awkwardly waiting around people at the bar or those waiting on a table, which can be a long line. I think twice each time my husband tells me he wants something from there because I hate picking up food there.

    I've been to a few BB's around the city and they all have a special thing about them that I love. This Katy location did not disappoint. The service is on point. The food is delicious. The customer service is next level! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor and ambiance at this location followed suit!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    TOGO Crawfish Seasoning

    My husband wanted to surprise me with crawfish, and I was so excited. Unfortunately, when the order arrived, the quality was extremely poor. More than half of the crawfish were dead before boiling, and some appeared spoiled. This picture is just a sample of what I pulled after deciding to leave a review. This was by far the worst crawfish I have ever received. I recommend dining in at the restaurant if you want better quality, because based on my experience, they do not seem to care about the quality of takeout orders. This is the third time this has happened. The second time, they acknowledged the issue, refunded us, and allowed us to reorder with better quality crawfish. But at this point, it's one too many times. Crawfish is far too expensive to receive this level of quality.

    We were out and about and decided to have a late lunch. One of our choices was BBs Tex orleans. We were greeted immediately and could sit wherever we wanted. They had signs about construction but this was no issue. Heather was our waitress and she was amazing! She was friendly and super attentive throughout our meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was not crowded. There were about 3 other tables of guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were originally doing the triple play with all boiled spicy shrimp but she told us they just changed it so we can't double up. No problem, we chose shrimp, snow crab and sausage. The plate also came with dirty rice. Excellent appetizer but the crab was small. The shrimp was delicious. I ordered shrimp and grits with collards. My husband ordered catfish and my son ordered redfish with etouffee. They were members of the clean plate club. I had leftovers. Heather got us to go boxes and made sure we had plenty of refills. I had nearly a full meal left because I ate a lot of shrimp and the rice. They also brought some chips and beans but I didn't eat it. Heather also made sure I registered for the rewards program and I needed to because I will be back. Wonderful meal and a great cost.

    We had the sweetest server named Averie! We went for happy hour drinks and appetizers. She was interacting with our group of 14 seniors. She was on it! The staff was helping out by running food and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We asked her to have the music turned down. It was also a little chilly in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She kept checking back and asking if we needed anything. We go out to eat at least 10 times a month. Just a side note, someone said something that may have hurt her feelings. She ordered what someone in our group pointed at on the menu. The manager didn't come out but we wanted to let someone know, that Averie didn't do anything wrong. She was worried about getting in trouble. We encouraged her to shake it off and don't let anybody tear her down! Keep your head up Averie, you did an awesome job!!!

    We had a pretty long wait because of the size of our party, but it was worth it!! The food was amazing and the service was superb!! Jazmine B made sure that everyone in our party was taken care of from the start! She was very helpful with the menu items and answered any questions that we had. She made suggestions for those who aren't seafood fans and even made sure that our birthday girl was treated right on her special day!! Thanks for an amazing experience, Jazmine B!

    Title: CUSTOMER SERVICE - EMPLOYEES ARE A JEWEL…read more I thoroughly enjoy eating at this restaurant. The food is consistently flavorful, and whenever I'm missing New Orleans, this place gives me a taste of home. What keeps me coming back is not just the food, but also the outstanding customer service. The staff is always kind, welcoming, and attentive. Many times, I've placed an order before work, and they have it ready with the same level of care and hospitality as if I were dining in the restaurant. That level of service is truly appreciated. The food is always fresh, hot, and prepared consistently. One of my absolute favorites is the remoulade sauce. It is incredibly flavorful, tasty, and complements the meal perfectly. For health reasons, I recently ordered the Kids Catfish Meal, and it was the perfect choice. The portion size was more than enough, and I even had dirty rice left over to enjoy later. The meal includes an entrée, side, and drink, making it an excellent value for the price. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers both quality food and exceptional customer service on a consistent basis. The employees are truly a jewel, and their dedication does not go unnoticed. Highly recommended! (5 Stars)

There's something for everyone even those who cannot eat seafood because of allergies. The set up is cafeteria style serve yourself. You place your order, grab a tray with flatware, and cups.

Overall service was excellent.

I didn't recall anything bad about the place, and given the rave reviews since then, I thought it was time to return. Based on reviews, we showed up early on a Friday evening (~5 pm). Even at that time, it was mostly full, but we were able to snag seats at the bar, which is first come first serve. We ordered the "regular" grilled oysters (5/5), which were anything but regular, as they were topped with peanuts and a really great flavor. I'd get these again. Fair warning, these take 20 minutes to come out, which I didn't mind, but I did not realize that they would not bring us anything else until after the oysters since these are considered an app. I thought they'd just bring things out as they were ready. This meant, we did not get our crawfish until we were already sitting there for an hour. About halfway into the wait for the crawfish (after the oysters), the fried rice (1/5) showed up, and I have to say, it was underwhelming. It came out room temperature, which to me is cold, and I thought this was just how they do it. Except 15 minutes later, the seats next to us got their fried rice, and it came out piping hot. You could still see the steam coming off of it. Besides being cold, I didn't think the fried rice was that good in terms of flavor. I also generally prefer the short grain rice, and this was more of a long grain. Once the crawfish showed up, we were well past an hour, so we dove right into it. Both the garlic butter and combo mix were great flavor - some of the best I've had in Houston. However.... it made me remember why we did not return. About 20% of the crawfish were TINY. And by tiny, I mean they were smaller than my pinky finger. Maybe I'm a crawfish snob, but at this time of the season, there should not be that many tiny crawfish. Maybe a few small ones, but not tiny. Crawfish flavor = 5+/5, crawfish quality = 2/5, crawfish cook = 3/5. Then I made the mistake of ordering a cluster of snow crab. That took another 30+ min to come out, and it was again room temperature. The service at the bar was fine (4/5), but the kitchen service (1/5) is not something I want to experience again, especially not for the crawfish quality/size. Yes, the flavor was amazing, but I'm not fighting for a table for lukewarm food and 30 min wait time for each dish. The pricing was some of the lowest I've seen ($8.99/lb crawfish), but I'd rather pay $1 more at other places for the quality.
