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!!!

Appetizer menu

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!

Our whole table got the Boudin Balls, Fried catfish platter, and the Combo 2, which was crab legs, potato, corn, and shrimps. The boil was delicious, I love a juicy spicy flavorful boil, and bby that was definitely that. they did they big one on everything. it was well seasoned and very good. im definitely going back cause they ate down.

Had the garlic parm wings flats which came wet which I was excited for but the skin kept separating from the wing, the meat was good. My friends got the crawfish which looks bomb if your into crawfish and the fixing. Service was really good, top notch atmosphere so I would go back and just get something different. Give it a try

We actually ate here right when they opened a coup le of years ago, and I couldn't remember why we…read morehaven't been back. 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.

(I can't believe I haven't posted this review or the return experience. Six months overdue)…read more For the past two birthdays I've been redeeming my birthday rewards here at Babin's! Last Halloween the ball was dropped when they had my to go dish covered in mushrooms, and I requested "no mushrooms ". This year, which is now Last Halloween the sausages were undercooked, even caused me to experience loose stool, I was invited back to make it right. Service were great and very attentive. Now I'm here half a year later trying them again, sitting in the courtyard ordering from their limited menu. Cajun crawfish rolls 9/10 Happy hour drink "crescent city swirl" ($6 frozen concoction category). 9/10 Military discount is honored here. I'm a bit surprised that won't apply points to Landry rewards if military discount applied The AC appeared to be broken because it definitely was warmer than should have been when I arrived I sat in the courtyard area for quite a while before getting anyone's attention to just get a cup of water, which I never got. She told me that the bartender will come collect my order, and I got a drink and an egg rolls.

**Took the day off to spend with family. **Thought to take…read morefamily to a nice lunch. **Choosing Babins was a mistake. Waste of quality time and hard earned money. We visited Babin's Seafood House in Katy today as an alternative since Landry's Seafood House in Katy has closed, and unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing experiences we've had. We arrived around 3 PM on a Friday expecting to take advantage of the lunch menu and happy hour, which is normally offered at that time. However, we were told by the hostess that neither was available. What was frustrating was not just the policy itself, but the lack of clear explanation -- it was only vaguely mentioned that it was due to a holiday, with no real effort to clarify or accommodate. Service throughout the meal was very poor. Our waters were never refilled, and our server was largely inattentive. It felt like we were being overlooked rather than taken care of. The biggest issue came with the food. We specifically ordered seafood dishes due to the Lent season-- specifically it being Good Friday, only to find sausage included in the seafood jambalaya. When we brought this up, the response from the server --" i'm absolutely sure there's no sausage in your dish" and made it seem like we were the problem, rather than addressing the mistake. Nonetheless, the was sausage in the dish and a manager did come by and offered to replace the dish, but even that felt reluctant -- more like an inconvenience than an attempt to make things right. To make matters worse, what was supposed to be a casual lunch turned into an $96 bill for a family of four, without the quality of service or experience to justify it. This was especially disappointing because we've been coming here as a family for years and have generally had good experiences. As a Landry's Select Club member for over 10 years, this was easily one of the worst experiences we've had at any Landry's restaurant. Unfortunately, based on this visit, we do not see ourselves returning to this location anytime soon.

I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!
