    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.

    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.

    Great Cajun inspired food. Not 100% authentic but close. I have been here before and it is a great place to get a cold one and enjoy some Cajun inspired eats.

    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! The new remodel does make the place look nicer & more lively 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! The decor and ambiance at this location followed suit!!!

    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. We asked her to have the music turned down. It was also a little chilly in there. 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 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. The place was not crowded. There were about 3 other tables of guests. 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.

    I visited this location today, April 6. I ordered 5lbs of crawfish (citrus garlic), monster greens, and water. I visit this location a lot. Out of all the times I have been coming here, I only had one issue earlier in the year. Nothing to the point where I wouldn't have came back. But after today, I will NEVER come back to this location! 1st the food, was great. No complaints. Very flavorful and the temp was very hot. Crawfish was a nice size and wasn't overcooked. Monster greens were prepared good, too. Seasoning was just right. The service, HORRIBLE! I sat in the bar section, along the window to be exact. I sat there for over 10mins and no one even acknowledged me. Both of the bartenders seen me. I was turned facing them and they both looked me dead in the face. More than once I may add. One came out more than once and helped everyone else but me. One couple was by me. He asked if they were ok. Still said nothing to me. I am not the one who pulls the race card. However, I was the only black customer at the time. You're saying something to everyone else, but not me. I definitely felt a way. A white couple came after me and sat at the main bar. Who were kiddy corner from me. After 2,3 mins. You acknowledged them and to give you a moment. But you couldn't acknowledged me and I had BEEN sitting. That is a problem!! So, another waiter who wasnt even working the bar, came to help me. I said I was wondering when someone was going to help me. He told me he wasn't working the area and the bartender sent him over there. I understand people get busy. But if you can stand there, talk, and giggle with other workers and people..you can come and say something to me. I told this waiter this as well. Even if it was to say I am sorry and I will be with you in a moment. But noone said absolutely nothing. I am a very patient person. I feel I was blatantly ignored. I got my food. It took a very long time before anyone even came to see if everything was ok, if I needed anything. After awhile, a young lady came to ask me. I just asked if she could just bring my tab and another water. I did that because who knew when someone was going to come back and say anything to me. Let me just get what I need now. Anyways, in the midst of all this, another black couple came. They sat at the main bar right by the white people he did address. They sat there for so long without anyone saying anything, they left. If it isn't a race thing, fine. I can accept that. However, the service was trash . That was the impression I got, and I do not like how that made me feel. Because of that, I will never come back to this location. It is crazy how the customer is expected to leave a tip with that type of service. I am a very good tipper. But, don't expect anything when your service is trash! The ONLY reason I left any tip at all was because of the nice bus boy who emptied my bowl. To be honest, if it wasn't for him, I would not have left anything!

The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order.

This is done because of the ordering process and the requirement to pay at the top of the meal rather than at the end and service was actually performed. The fact that all was done was the delivery of our order and not one check on the table to see how the meal was. They did come by and ask for the dishes, but didn't ask how the meal was.

I had been watching this one being built for a while and was especially curious to try it since this location has a full bar, which adds a really fun twist to the traditional coffee shop concept. I stopped in for lunch and decided to sit out on the patio which ended up being the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, bright, and inviting with a nice open feel that makes it easy to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and everything moved quickly and smoothly. I ordered the guava mimosa and it was SO good. Light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect daytime drink. For food I had the chicken avocado wrap and substituted the chips for truffle fries and both were SOOOOO good. The wrap was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor and the truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade. I love that this location keeps the cozy Buzz and Bites feel while also leaning into a slightly more elevated vibe with the bar and patio seating. Between the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the great food and drinks, I can already tell this will become a regular lunch spot now that it is so close to our office.

Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We sat for about 15-20 minutes before even getting water, and we had to ask for basic things like a fork and napkins (which we ended up grabbing ourselves). The biggest disappointment was the food timing: everyone at my table received their meals, and mine didn't come out until about 20 minutes later. By then, I didn't even want it anymore and just picked off someone else's plate. What I did try from my friend's dish was decent, but the overall experience definitely wasn't a highlight. There were a lot of staff members standing around, so it was confusing why everything took so long. Not somewhere I'd rush back to, but hopefully they improve the service and timing because the atmosphere had potential.
