It's been quite a while since we've eaten at Boudreaux's. We remembered the great food and today was more of the same. My wife got a bowl of shrimp gumbo which she loved...it was slightly smaller than a #10 washtub...it was big. She also enjoyed some fried green tomatos which I helped her with, got a few spoons of her gumbo too. We sample everything. I enjoyed a cup of seafood gumbo and a 10 count fried butterflied shrimp platter. this also came wit' french fries dusted wit' Cajun seasonings. Both of us enjoyed a piece of skillet toast that came with our food. Did we order too much? Yes, but we made a valiant effort....we'd come back for more goodies.

I use to go to Boudreaux years ago. I decided to check it out again while I was in the area & the food seems to be better. The staff is still friendly. I was informed that they are now under new ownership & the Gulfgate location will reopen next week.

Stuffed Fish

I'm a big fan of this restaurant and have tried many seafood dishes. All of them have been tasty and very satisfying: Shrimp and Grits, Pecan Orleans, Stuffed Fish and even their grilled chicken. All very good choices.

It was ok. We went for the Friday the 13th $13 dollar special for 3 proteins and a side. We upgraded to catfish for $2.70. The fish was good and cleaned well. We also got the stuffed shrimp and shrimp. The stuffing in the shrimp was seasoned well but the celery could be chopped a bit more. And its also ALOT of stuffing. More like a stuffed ball and a piece of shrimp. The shrimp was butterflied and it was good. The side of onion rings they could've kept. Just mediocre. You see the seasoning on it but you don't taste it. I also got a Margarita and wouldn't recommend it either. It was sweet with no alcohol. I guess thats what you expect for $3. Everything was a bit underwhelming. I don't need really need to come back. The service was great though. Qyinisha who took our order was pleasant and Lance our server was cool. The music was a bit of old school and nice for a Friday. We got there just before 6 and it was only a few people in there. It was still pretty light outside so they didn't have lights on.

I had the Poboy and some Shrimp on the side 10/10

Stack a Dolla is amazing he's better than the whole staff I've been coming here for years and seeing him if you go here ask for stack a dolla he is going to recommend the best plates and make sure your food is fresh and your comfortable.

LA Sampler
Troy J.

I came in hungry! The place is nice and comfortable. They had nice old school music playing. When we walked to the counter we were greeted with southern style hospitality. Now I had the La Sampler. Hot , tasty, every bite was enjoyable. My Drink was a Margarita. It was just right for the moment. Last, was the Bread Pudding. Hot, sweet, good to the last drop! It's seafood, so... see the food, come eat!

Fish Bienville
Jonquil J.

The food was real good I had the fish bienville everything was seasoned perfectly the sauce on the fish was a tad bit strong for me other than that perfecto. The service was A1 the cashier at the counter was very personable and the waiter was very hands on and very helpful. The ambiance was cool I loved the music it was a whole vibe to me I would definitely return to try something else on the menu.

Delivery Order. Charged for a gallon of lemoade only to receive maybe 28oz. The food was just very okay. Fish was small and no flavor on the Po Boy. lemonade was cheap like from powder ($15/gallon) Red beans and rice I enjoyed as well as the bread the Po Boy came on:

What are the best -- "take out" orders (to be delivered)...?

I only ate heartily inside. Everything was great. I would recommend the crawfish etouffee.

Somehow, I was finally about to come here I actually like the remodel. They still kept with the classical look with a modern twist. All the booth seatings are new along with new chandeliers. The floor tiles are new and they added some artificial faux olive trees that look realistic, giving the interior space a more natural feel to it. My server was Hayley which seems to be very knowledgeable with the menu and it's ingredients. But I just kept with my usual when I go there. For starters, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Tartare because they have jalapeño and mango in it which gives it that touch of sweetness and a little kid of spice. And the ponzu sauce brings the flavors together. For the main course, I would normally share a steak and add the lobster tails to make a surf and turf but my date wanted fish. So, I ended up ordering the miso-glazed seabass. To be honest, I was not happy with this plate. The crab fried rice that came with the dish was dry and very limited on the crabs. The asian vegetables were just normal mix vegetables, where I thought would have some type of asian flavor. And the seabass did have a slight hint of glaze on top but over all, it was just fish with no attentional flavor. The fish was cooked perfectly, but just bland for me. But what I enjoyed most about this place is their carrot cake. It's the best I have had. But what I did not realized is that they now give you an option of a full size and a petite size. In the past, when I ordered their carrot cake, they always brought out the full size. So not knowing they now offer a smaller slice or piece, when I order the cake, they gave me a small piece. I was disappointed but I guess I should have asked for the menu for clarification, instead of just telling them I wanted to carrot cake without knowing they now offer two different sizes of the cake. But over all, if you like the tradition and professional service in a restaurant, this is the place you would want to visit. The food is cooked perfect but, to me, they are just classic flavors. No modern twist or exotic flavors.

Wow this place really blew me away. It's a near perfect spot for a business lunch or dinner (or if…read moreyou're willing to splurge with your own money for a good meal or a hot date). I wasn't sure what to expect based on the name of the restaurant, but essentially their seafood options are spectacular. And it feels like an exclusive club because the decor and service are both very much high class and special. We tried the coconut shrimp as the appetizer and really liked it. It was lightly fried and the shrimp was cooked to perfection - not under and not over. I would highly recommend this one to start. Loved it. If you're looking for a fair-priced meal, they have lots of salad and sandwich options. I tried the salmon poke bowl and it was so delicious. The fish was extremely fresh, and all the flavors blended together really well. It was like a healthy party in my mouth. It was great decision. You wanna splurge a bit and live large like YOLO? You gotta get the crab cake. Now, how good can a crab cake be? Well, if you're paying close to $50 for one crab cake, you better believe it's gonna be freaking awesome. And alas, it was. Best crab cake I've ever had in my life, no joke. And I've tried a lot of crab cakes in my many decades of dining out. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back many times. Enjoy! Quick note on parking - plenty of parking in a huge lot shared by many businesses such as Kenny and Ziggy's. Only annoying part is several sections of the lot are designated for specific businesses, so just look for the signs and be willing to park a little bit further away towards Taco Deli and Bluestone.

We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp. We had the lump crab handroll - would have enjoyed it more had it been cut, and the fries were heavily on the salty side. Fun environment.

Cool surroundings and nice tables and decor. We got here early and got a table. Nice people and good service! Food was just OK. Crab dipper appetizer was OK. Crab tasted a little old. Bread and butter were good as were the salads. My son got the Salmon which was pretty good (came with dirty rice that was alright. My wife had the whol Branzino prepared Greek style, and it was good, but not great (maybe a little overdone). Our sons neighbor recommended the "Christie's pride" and that is what I got. It was... interesting. The seafood dressing was kind of odd and a bit pungent. It was, as I said, interesting. Looking back the waiter maybe hinted to not get that, but I came in here to try it. Kind of a let down, but there was a big menu so assuming other dishes are better. The main disappointment is that prices were steep! The 3 dishes we had plus appetizer was $150 (No drinks... no dessert)! Would have been a fair price if we all thought the food was amazing. But at best it was "pretty good" Like I said/ lots going for it but no plans to return...

I've been working my way through this menu for a while now and I honestly can't remember having anything bad. The gumbo is a must, the fried shrimp are SO good. The seafood empanadas and stuffed crab are on permanent rotation for me. If you're with a group, get the redfish beignets and the hush puppies for the table. Both are great for sharing, assuming you're the sharing type. The dining room is split into two halves. One half gives me school cafeteria vibes. The other half is darker and cozier, and that's where I head every time, mostly so nobody can see the mess I'm making of myself, it's better for those of us who wear our gumbo. Big shoutout to the staff. They were all excellent, and they were so sweet with my two nieces. They also got the kids' food out super fast, which kept the little ones happy and busy while the adults ate. Anyone who's dined with small children knows how much that matters. Extra points.

It's located at this nice casual little bar called tikilas or some shit like that. Instantly I knew I was in for a treat because they were playing "get low" by lil Jon. And boy was I about to get LOW ! I walked up to order , and to my most utter surprise: there it was , a five pounder deal. They give you a little light up vibrator thing to take back to the table , so that you know when your food is ready to be devoured. Talk about hot and ready! Those crawdads were done in literally like 15 minutes MAX! I immediately started ripping off those slutty little crawfish shells and sucking like there was NO tomorrow! I felt EXPLOSIONS of flavor through my body. I definitely climaxed at least three to four times while I was indulging. These are hands down the best crawfish in Houston or maybe even the entire universe. Definitely would smash .
