    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.

    Regular Mixed Gumbo

    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

    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.

    Shrimp poboy
    Jazmine S.

    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.

    Seafood gumbo
    jackie o.

    This is my to go spot when I want a poboy and gumbo. The fried shrimp poboy and seafood gumbo are my favorite from the menu! I also like the seasoning options for the seafood boil. The service is always great and the food is always hot and delicious

    Loaded gumbo

    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.

    So glad we tried this place. The food is hot and fresh! The gumbo is really good and the crawfish boil was perfectly seasoned.

    Awesome spot for fresh, tasty seafood! I almost panicked when I walked in because it was completely…read moreempty, which is usually not a great sign, but it must've just been a slow day because the food was awesome. Michael, the owner, greeted us and took care of us! We started with the Jumbo Crab Fingers which were really good - I'm honestly not huge on seafood, so I enjoyed these a lot more than I thought I would. Ironically, I'm not big on oysters either, so I ordered the Jumbo Golden Fried Shrimp which hit the spot real good. Large shrimp, well fried, flavored, and the tartar sauce was addicting. The fries that came with it were perfectly seasoned, carrying a bit more of a cajun flavor rather than just regularly salted. My parents definitely enjoy oysters, so they ordered the Charbroiled Oysters and really enjoyed it, as well as the Uni Oyster with Quail Egg. They also got the Cowboy Lobster Shrimp Roll that was gone before I even took a second look their way. We finished the meal with a yummy, dense basque cheesecake! Every customer that came in during our time there was personally greeted by Michael, and it seemed like they were all repeat customers. It was really cool to see that kind of connection, and it really showed how much Michael cares about his customers, and how much we like his food! Indoor seating is a bit limited - all bar stool seating. I rarely comment on the music that a restaurant plays, but I quite liked it! Made me feel like I was on the bay enjoying some fresh seafood at sunset. Heard they'll be opening up their newest location at POST soon!

I've visited twice for lunch, and while both experiences were solid, my first visit stood out just a bit more in terms of flavor. One thing I always look for in a crawfish place is consistency, and this spot comes close, though there's a slight variation between visits. The food arrives quickly and hot, which is always a plus. Our server was attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs without being overbearing. They offer a variety of seafood combinations at reasonable prices, making it easy to customize your meal. I added broccoli to my boil, which was a nice touch. I ordered the house sauce with a "spicy" level, but it didn't really bring any heat. Portion sizes are generous. Even though I can usually finish my boil, it's definitely enough to have leftovers. Overall, it's a dependable spot for a satisfying crawfish boil.

    I visited this restaurant since someone in my group wanted crab noodle soup. The funny thing is he…read moredidn't even end up ordering that dish though as he got temped by another entree. Their menu consists of apps (mostly fried), soups and salads, lobster dishes, steaks, vietnamese seafood dishes, shellfish entrees (clams, scallops, etc), an oyster section, stir fry dishes, rice creations, and fried seafood dishes. They serve beer and wine but have some Asian wine-based cocktails. This is truly a fusion restaurant since they have Vietnamese, American, Chinese, Thai, and Peruvian influences on their menu. They have boiled seafood, of course, including crawfish during the season. On every table is also a $12.95 lunch menu with soups, sandwiches and seafood dishes. This may be one of the better deals out there. We tried a few dishes: drunken lobster, surf and turf, crab fried rice, drunken tofu, and shrimp with salted egg. Two additional people in our group came a little later and actually ordered the lunch special (pork chop plate) and chicken wings. Their napkins are a little strange as they're tri-fold style like you would normally see in a restroom. The dishes were pretty good, but I ended up eating mostly noodles since their garlic noodles are pretty addicting. The sirloin that came on the steak dish was supposedly a little tough but that is typical of a basic sirloin steak. I didn't actually get to sample it since other people grabbed it before I could. They only had L and XL size lobster the day we came...so they said their prices were around $90 and $108...I think we selected the $90 size. The drunken lobster dish can be shared between 2 people as it's a big platter but just 1 cut up lobster. The garlic noodles beneath the lobster pieces on the drunken lobster are way better than the noodles beneath the shrimp and steak on the surf and turf since they are stir-fried with lots of onions, jalapeños and what seemed to be small ground pork/beef chunks.

    I went here because I saw the garlic noodles online they looked really good, so I was tempted to…read morecheck it out I ordered the garlic noodles with the surf and turf. The steak was a little tough.....sliced really thin with 3 shrimp on top. I put a picture on here for reference. It didn't look super tasty but it wasn't too bad.
