Wonderful experience! Service was great! It was our first time. So much on the menu and it all looked good. In store, there's pictures and videos of lots of things from the menu. Food was sooooo good. Hot and fresh and lots of flavor! We ordered boudin balls, surf & turf po boy, fried catfish, garlic parm wings, and daiquiris. Def adding to our list of must stop thrus!!! Daiquiris were BOGO when we went. read more

Crawfish was delicious! Not to spicy but just right! Will definitely go back. Also try the gumbo!! It was also good.

Today was my first visit to Calliope Food truck in Rosenberg. The food was AMAZING, DELICIOUS, AUTHENTICLY NOLA!! My family and I absolutely loved it! The roast beef po-boy, brought me back to living in the New Orleans area. We were very impressed by the quality of the fried catfish. It was fresh, well seasoned, with large- thick portions. The crawfish pies, boudin egg-rolls, and shrimp boil were all just as delicious. This place is a must try! read more

We've dined in twice in the last few days and loved both meals. My wife got a half pound of boiled shrimp with mild garlic butter. I went with a small roast beef & gravy and a small 2 piece fried boudin balls....our second visit the following day involved us devouring a small bowl of mixed gumbo.....you can 3 different sizes.... and a bowl of crawfish etoufe and an amazing fried crawfish pie with remoulade sauce. Great food and service. read more

Second time grabbing food from here. Always great. Portion sizes are good. First time I ordered 2pc fish and shrimp with mixed rice. Fish pieces were huge. My wife and I could have ate from one plate. The boudin egg rolls were also really great fried rice had shrimp, sausage, and crawfish in it This time around wife ordered a shrimp po-boy bread was crisp on the outside side and soft on the inside shrimp tasted great and the fries were crispy and airy. I ordered the regular sized po-boy and again portion size was big. Basically ordered two 6in subs. I ordered shrimp suicide box. Very flavorful cake with corn a potato and a boiled egg. The sauce for the boiled shrimp covered the rice. Making every bite flavorful and spicy. Last time I went they had ran out of gumbo but was able to lock some in this go around and it did not disappoint! Service has always been great. The lady that took my order both time was very friendly and very helpful read more

I had the grilled shrimp platter. It was really good. A couple of the shrimp were slightly overcooked, but not enough to be upset. The accompanying vegetables were awesome. The plain old slice of bread seemed kind of random--maybe try serving it as garlic butter toast?Overall good value for the price: the platter and a drink were around $16-17. I will definitely return here. read more

had a wonderful experience at Calliope's! The service was excellent, and the food came out hot and fresh. I tried the shrimp po' boy, and it was absolutely delicious & full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I'm already looking forward to coming back for more! read more

Went to this cajun/creole fast casual spot for a business lunch on a Friday near my office. I have been meaning to try their poboys for awhile and they did not dissappoint at all. The crew I was with had poboys, boudin balls, red beans and rice, gumbo, and some other items and everyone really enjoyed their meal and gushed over the spot. I was the hero for lunch that day, LOL. Service was more than adequate with a fast casual atmosphere, and I will be back. This particular location off of W. Bellfort in Houston isn't the greatest neighborhood, but for a mid-day lunch it is just fine. Again, I will happily go back. read more

This place has gone down! The sandwiches are smaller and the prices are higher. Each time I have went in the past few months, my bread is stale and there are like 6-8 shrimp for $11. read more

Their fried rice is really good, but that sauce should be bottled it's so good . We've had the Po'boys and the Gumbo , always hit the spot . We were plant based and it was our go to place for veggie options too. Seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection . Highly recommend this place . read more

As someone who is originally from New Orleans, I can happily say that Calliope's has some of the best, most authentic poboys that you will find in Houston! The fries are also pretty good. My friend tried the boudin balls and she said they were fresh and flavorful. The only reason why I give them 4 stars is because the daiquiri that I had was not the best. I would like to try something different the next time I go but the poboys are my favorite. read more

Calliope's - Shrimp poboy - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Quintessential Houston spot. Great gumbo and lots of fun daiquiris. My dad enjoyed his shrimp fried rice and my brother said his surf and turf po-boy was just ok. I think next time he'd just get a more classic fried seafood po-boy. One dude came through the dining area begging for change, but he wasn't aggressive when we politely declined. They have a drive through that gets a lot of use. Portions are good for the price. Something for everybody! read more

I have been coming here regularly since they opened on W. Belfort (20 years?) and have loved it. But this last visit was not great. The normally delicious roast beef poboy was way too salty (this coming from a salt lover), the unsweet iced tea had a weird (maybe peach?) flavor, and the music was too loud to have a conversation. My companion commented that this was a lunch restaurant, not a bar. We asked for the music to be turned down, but no luck. I ordered a small fried rice to-go, which they conscientiously waited to give me until I was leaving, and it was delicious (although I got and paid for a large order, so I ate it for days.) I will hesitate to go back, but may give it one more chance. There is no reason for the music to be blaring. The menu is great and varied and the food is normally very good. read more

Service is top notch. Super friendly and accommodating! Lunch special of fried shrimp poboy half sandwich and small cup of gumbo is perfection! Plus they have amazing daiquiris! read more

Way too salty. More salty than flavorful. Shrimp and egg tasted like it was not fresh. I did enjoy the boudin ball but that's it. My husband says his pony bread was too hard. read more

Stopped in for Fish n Shrimp . Good location, limited parking. Nice clean small spot. The young lady at the register was very helpful and friendly. I forgot to ask for the 15% discount I was given on Yelp. The meal is good but Toasted Garlic Bread Badly needed. read more

Not enough words to explain how delicious this poboy was today. I use to go to cafe dú mond for my poboys but after today, that's a no no. The sauce they put on it just took it to a whole new level (u have to request the sauce) I got it on the side to sample it and wound up putting it all over..so fresh and delicious. Generous amount of shrimp . Beyond satisfying. read more

Kuh-lie-oh-pee Calliope is small, neat, clean and bright. The food is fresh and tasty and the service was good. We had gumbo which was the best I have had in a restaurant in Texas. Red beans and rice, very good, fried catfish good with a corn meal breading and fried shrimp which were good but small. We also had an oyster poboy which was better than okay but not great. The bread did not have that crisp outside which a poboy sandwich should have. The place was recommended by the head butcher at Pyburn's which is just down the road. He is from NOLA and was correct about the gumbo. We live in Fort Bend County and will be back. read more

Great food. The area is a little sketchy. Had a bum ask for money right when I got out the car. read more

I was impressed with the taste of the gumbo. I usually don't get gumbo from restaurants because of a bad experience but it was good. I love the fried fish and the calliope fried rice. The service is pretty decent I have no complaints, and the restaurant is clean but the prices since Covid has jumped up but so has every restaurant, some places more than others. read more

We liked this place. Very New Orleans style. A bit pricey for the quality of the food but the food tastes good. Prices for poboys are almost similar to Pappadeaux's read more

Original Wings 3/5. Bland, no flavor. Surf & Turf Poboy 3/5. Average, shrimp + roastbeef. Seafood Gumbo 5/5 . Crawfish and Shrimp Etouffe 5/5 (Surprising this was best item) Crawfish Eggroll 4/5. Overall, was hoping poboy would be better. We could tell shrimp wasn't local and taste like imported shrimp. Only two items worth coming back for is Seafood Gumbo and Etouffe. Still think Sleepy's Poboy is more authentic New Orleans style. read more

Spicy delicious boil and seasoned to perfection fried foods love the fried porch chops with the fried rice...frozen margaritas are the bomb‼

These guys are masters of spice and I don't say this lightly. I got their grilled Tilapia platter and the fish had the perfect amount of spices - not overwhelming the senses and allowing you to taste the fresh and juicy fish. Then they have this dipping sauce that is out of this world. Their onion rings are also made perfectly. I do wish that they had a bigger portion of coleslaw but eh, it is what it is. Overall this is a hidden gem in Houston and they have high quality cajun food and the staff is nice and friendly and take the time to explain the different options. Highly recommend them. read more

Wow! Don't let the area our outside of this establishment fool you! They are serving up some really good food here! I got the gumbo today (chicken sausage crab and shrimp) and let me tell you, it's amazing! So much flavor in one bowl! Extremely tasty and full of flavor! We also had an appetizer: boudain Balls which were really good as well. The andouille sausage with the red beans and rice looked really good too! This place is kind of far from me but I will definitely stop back in when I am on the south side of town. I would like to try several things on their menu. The wings look good, poboys too. I was very pleased with my gumbo. It's so good that I probably would drive all the way from the northwest on a cold day just get their gumbo. This place is a real winner. Would have liked a piece of cornbread with my gumbo though. Also, this guy came in asking for money lol that's the first time that has ever happed to me at a restaurant I told him I didn't but he could have the boudain balls if he would like he responded with " it may make my stomach hurt" lol he wanted cash! read more

Best Patton hot sausage po boy in Houston -very friendly staff and clean restaurant -the daiquiris were delicious as well!!

Tried this on a neighbors referral and while I'm open to try almost anything, I probably won't be back here. The food was just a bit too bland. The wings were super salty. The gumbo was flavorless. The rice was the best part and the shrimp po boy was decent. The strawberry lemonade was great, probably the best thing there. read more

I had a hankering for crawfish and so we came to Calliopes because my husband wanted a poboy and wings. I have to be honest and say that it wasn't as good as I was anticipating. When I came to this location years ago it was great. But today was the first time I had crawfish there. I usually get the pot boys. The fried rice didn't taste fried but more or less just heated and buttery. The crawfish flavor was good and spicy. My husband raved about the fried wings. And the po boys were ok. When I came years ago, I remember the bread being fresh and the shrimp being bigger but today the bread wasn't as soft and toasty and the shrimp were a decent size but not like I remembered. If I go back, I'll probably be trying different items. read more

For whatever reason they are charging double sometimes triple on ubereats, hard pass.

This is another great Louisiana style seafood restaurant who's owners are former Louisiana and N.O. residents like me. The menu was full of all the LA favorites and prepared in the original style and portions. I ordered a 16" shrimp poboy which was great and was made with true French bread! I plan to visit more often and take my friends and family. Real Louisianans will love this place! read more
