I didn't expect this place to be next to a gas station, but based on past experiences, I had a feeling the food would be good. Ambiance: As mentioned, it's adjacent to a gas station, and you can smell the delicious cooking from outside. There's limited seating, and during my visit, it was unfortunately a bit warm inside. Service: The service was excellent, and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. One person managed all the orders while others delivered food to the tables. Food: The portion sizes were great for the price, and there were plenty of appealing options. I really enjoyed the Creole pasta with the boudin egg rolls. Although the pasta could have used a bit more seasoning, it was still tasty overall. I'd also recommend their lemonade, which was really refreshing. Overall: Despite the heat inside, limited parking, and seating, I would definitely recommend checking out this spot. I wish them much success in the future!

Greens watered down!!

I haven't visited in a while because the taste of the food is ALWAYS INCONSISTENT. So I went today and got two sides(I hardly eat meat) Mac and cheese and greens. The greens tasted HORRIBLE... like swamp water the gators ish and pissed in. The greens tasted like when you clean the dirt off them but didn't drain the water.. you just cooked it AS IS. The Mac n cheese was tasteless also but not as bad as the greens. I drop off but decided to call to inform them because they can't be aware. The response I CANT DO NOTHING BOUT IT... MY COOK DONT COME IN TIL LATER ANS I HAVE A BIG POT. I stated ma'am just go taste them they are really bad and I also told her I'm not looking to get a refund. You are intentionally having ppl waste time and money on something that is horrible.

Baby! Am I in Houston or Nawlins'? Flavor lives here! I have passed by this place for years and have always wondered what went on inside regarding food. Was it a regular restaurant or a catering kitchen? I wasn't sure until I saw another Food Reviewer dine here. With nothing but good things to say I decided to try it for myself. This cute spot sits next door to a Shell gas station in the 3rd Ward on O.S.T. It's where "Yumminess" resides! Lol. Your Cajun/Creole staples are here! From gumbo, to etouffee, and beignets it's a flavor bomb going off on all angles. Don't come for the looks of the place come for food and stay for hospitality! Shout out to Neicey who took good care of me! She even gave me a sample of their chicken/sausage gumbo without me asking! That gumbo?!?! Chef's kiss! For my first time, I had to go with the Chicken/Sausage Gumbo in addition to their Fried Fish Platter w/ Fries to test things further. As mentioned, the Gumbo was superb, and the fries were seasoned well and served hot. The fish, fried hard, was fresh and flaky. My platter came with their signature sweet tea of which Neicey gladly made into an "Arnold Palmer" for me. Thank you, Neicey! Seating is inside only, no patio. Limited spacing, and not really conducive to large parties of people. There enough parking which should not be an issue. This is truly a great spot to try out. Why not treat yourself to some good eating!?! You won't be disappointed. I know I'll be coming back, for sure! Enjoy, and bon Apetite!

The menu posted on Black Houston Restaurant weeks
Rosalind C.

Nah I'm good. Now it could be me. I went for Black Houston Restaurant Week. The website is misleading or they are because the menu does not specify certain days they are participating in BHRW but when I came they said its only on certain days. Well this means they are not really participating because they are just offering daily specials that they offer anyway. I tried the loaded heaven which was a catfish fillet, seafood dressing, etoufee and a piece of bread. The fish was good, fried perfectly. The dressing was too running if that makes sense. It didn't have any seafood and the etoufee was a tad salty. The wings were salty and the fries was cool. Overall this is another spot that gets seasoning confused with salt. They not the same. I probably won't be back but I encourage you to try for yourself. The lady talking my order was cool and the place appears clean. I didn't try the daiquiri because i was good with the half eaten food I tried

Creole Kitchen and Daiquiris is a bit unassuming when you drive up. It's an attachment to a convenience store and gas station, which might dissuade some from trying it out...but I am so glad we stopped in! While one can tell the building is a bit older, the decor is very inviting, colorful, fun, and immediately makes one think of Mardi Gras! There was a cute photo opportunity with the name of the restaurant surrounded by glittering masks and big ol' beads! The staff MAKES this restaurant! Everyone we encountered was super friendly and gave us great recommendations, but Koi really stood out! He was kind, very personable, and had the most welcoming smile. He even gave us complimentary Arnold Palmers since it was our first time in! I ordered two appetizers - the boudin egg rolls and the meat pies. Both were crispy, flaky and delicious! The boudin egg rolls were warm boudin rice egg rolls with melty pepper jack cheese, while the Natchitoches meat pies were a flavorful combination of ground beef, pork, and bell peppers - a bit greasy, but very good! For my entree I ordered the gumbo jeaux. Pretty decent gumbo with shrimp, chicken, and sausage. The roux was very well-done; the protein was a little chewy, though. My friend ordered the crawfish ettoufee, which she let me try, and it was yummy! Serving sizes were very generous. I will definitely be going back to try more off the extensive Creole Kitchen menu! The stuffed potato bowl and Cajun pastas look amazing.

Very nice greeting and service. We mainly went to get gumbo. We ordered fried fish and shrimp, got gumbo and greens and fried chicken. We decided to get it to-go. It is a small space inside, two regular tables on one side and two tall tables on the other side. All four tables had guest. Clean inside and music playing. The fried fish and shrimp is fried well and very tasteful. I like my fish fried hard and it was. It comes with two hush puppies and they are so delicious and a soda. The fried chicken wings are a bit salty. Now here is the no. The greens are way to sweet. As soon as I opened the bowl of gumbo it didn't smell good, the roux was yellowish, we tasted it and It does not taste good at all. We let our sons taste it and they both said the greens and gumbo does not taste good. The greens and gumbo was definitely not what we expected.

Gumbo

Imagine getting your wisdom tooth removed and can barely eat, you order gumbo and it's gravy and rice. When I say I'm mad, I mean I am beyond angry. What is this? Why would you serve me gravy and rice with a crab and shrimp added. I am from Louisiana and creole. This isn't roux. It almost tastes like a pack of gravy from the store that you just add water to. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Also, please get rid of the AI ordering service!

The drinks are what will keep this place open! The young lady at the front was sweet. Food: While the food is enjoyable, it's food we could've made at home. That may actually be a plus for some, though. We ordered online and it took only 10 min for it to be ready and it was hot and made to order. Everything was enjoyable but I hate I spent $16-$18 on the poboy because the bread was dry and there wasn't very much shrimp on it. The meat pie is their own take on the Jamaican pie and regrettably $12.99 for 2 and tastes like seasoned ground beef. Go to a Jamaican restaurant and get two authentic ones for $8 Having more fries would've been nice as well. We paid roughly $54 for everything. I'm be back for the drinks

Crispy Wing Platter
Shatoyia N.

I went here for the first time today due to the hype from social media. Let's say I was very disappointed. As most reviewers stated...the lady taking the order was rude and seemed like she wanted to be elsewhere. We placed our order online so upon arrival it wasn't ready which was no big deal. The lady put dirty napkins in our Togo bag with our food. The place needs a good cleaning. The floors were sticky, tables dirty etc.. We ordered the wings and fries/bake potato with shrimp, chicken and sausage. The wings tasted like it was cooked in old fishy grease. The bake potato had an empty crab claw in it (pic attached) which I bit into smh! What if I chipped my tooth or swallowed it considering it shouldn't have been in the meal from the beginning. They are next to a gas station so parking can be a challenge at times. Overall, I think they have great potential if some changes are made.

Seafood platter, hush puppies, and Red Beans & Rice with Smoked Turkey
Selena D.

The food is amazing here!!! Highly recommended. My wife and I had the seafood platter and red beans and rice with turkey on the side and it was incredible. The food came out in a timely manner. And the catfish was cooked to perfection.

Creamy Creole Heaven

Food was very tasty, if not a little salty. However, the portions are absolutely abysmal for the price they're charging. I only took like a bite from the dish in the picture below, which costed a whole $22.

Hot Sausage POBOY
Shea M.

Every time I go to this place I enjoy my food, but chances are someone I'm with may experience some sort of a problem. I tend to find myself selecting the "safer" items here (e.g. their fried food, the poboys, or wings) but every time someone has gotten the seafood heaven, they complain about the temperature of the food once it's given to them being lukewarm. One of my friends also got the pasta and felt her food was "warm" as well. My last visit I got the hot sausage poboy which is with the Patton's Hot Sausage .. so flavorful. They also had a mardi gras daiquiri that was really good but extremely rich paired with the food. Didn't even come close to finishing lol it kinda tastes like egg nog but better, I'm not a fan of eggnog. They always have great service, just wish it was a little more space on the inside because it's pretty tight.

Just before closing, we had the place to ourselves and got to shoot the S with the owner who gave us its very cool history. 38 years in, and a few miles on his ledger, Marty still cranks out some fabulous food! The place was like walking into the 50's, with the old school metal tables and ample linoleum. I LOVE Louisiana cooking, and it couldn't have been more authentic. The only problem I had with my shrimp gumbo is the bowl was too small (actually a filling portion) and loaded with succulent, tender shrimp. Yummmmm! The cornbread was sublime and dipping it in the gumbo was killer! John had a Po Boy and said it was heavenly. The fries were obviously fresh cut and perfect. We finished with the bread pudding as we are both connoisseurs, and boy did it not disappoint. Thank You for yet another 5 star experience and a return visit will be on the horizon! Cheers, JimG

Nut allergy friendly: Pretty much no issues here!…read more Parking: There's some in the strip mall but definitely less than at the Bellaire location. Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.
