Marty, Marty, Marty.... By some awesome quirk of fate, my…read morefriend John and I happened past this quaint little Diner in downtown Houston on our way to a meeting. 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

However the food was great tasting and the place is full of family history, the staff was very accommodating! Small portions though. Reasonabley priced for the portion size. They do not serve alcohol.

UMMM IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 100 STARS I WOULD!!! First of all , crawfish season is something…read morevery special to me and my closest friends; I don't play about my crawdaddies. When I look for crawfish, I'm looking for spicy , flavorful, juicy , and most importantly? That they have big suckable heads. BOY WAS I IN FOR A TREAT FINDING HOT AND BUTTERED!!! 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 .

We honestly didn't realize it was in the parking lot of the bar until we arrived. Ordering was quick as was the food. Great taste and good value. From speaking with the team, I believe they are going to become a permanent fixture at Tikila's. Overall, a good discovery.

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.

I don't know why it took me so long to come here. This Rouxpour (there are more than one) is…read morelocated adjacent to Memorial City Mall on the Gessner side of the mall near the old ice rink. 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. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

Sad that I learned this is a small chain as I am someone who tries to avoid chain-type restaurants…read more However, the food was incredible and would recommend. Came with a big group for mom's birthday and they were able to accommodate us including cutting cake.
