Mason was awesome! His suggestions and services was top notch!! I will be coming back and requesting him as our server. Our beer and dipping sauce was never empty. Thanks Mason!!! read more

The bomb! We stayed in Seaworld for a couple of nights and ended up here both nights for dinner. My wife ordered the snow pack night one and I had a lot of oysters. Both so good we decided not to look further afield and came back for night two. We do the boil experience and it was awesome. Service was on point. Beer was cold. Food was really good. Would very much recommend. read more

I drove across town specifically to try BB's Tex Cajun, walked into a restaurant that was mostly empty, ordered a bowl of gumbo... and then spent almost 30 minutes wondering if they were catching the chicken fresh out back. Eventually I gave up and left without ever getting my food. I wish I could review the gumbo, but apparently that's a members-only experience. The service wasn't rude, just painfully slow, which somehow made it even more impressive considering there weren't many people there. If you're looking for a place to practice patience or reflect on the passage of time, 10/10. If you're looking for dinner... maybe pack a snack. read more

When I say BBS has the best crawfish I've had in San Antonio, I mean that with my whole heart... and my burning taste buds. I always order it as spicy as they'll possibly make it because if you're not questioning your life choices halfway through the bag, are you even eating crawfish correctly? My family and I went not too long ago for my birthday and it was honestly the perfect place to celebrate. The spice level had my nose running, my eyes watering, and me still going back for more like I had something to prove. On top of the amazing food, the restaurant itself was super clean and the lighting and decorations are always fun to look at. It's one of those places where the atmosphere just makes you feel comfortable and ready to hang out for a while. Our server was incredibly sweet and made sure everyone at the table was taken care of the whole time. She checked on us often, kept the good vibes going, and made the experience even better. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a fun environment. I would absolutely come back again and again... probably with a roll of paper towels and a warning to anyone sitting next to me about the spice level. read more

Although we were seated quickly, it took entirely too long for us to receive our food! Way too long!!! Way too long!!! Way too long!!! Our appetizer (fried pickles) was good. The chips and salsa were unique. I ordered the etoufee and it was decent. The toast that came with the etoufee was really good!! I wouldn't order the etoufee again. The Pachanga Platter was really good and seasoned well!!! The kids menu was awesome and the kids enjoyed everything that came along with the kids menu. There are lots of TVs to watch games. I would say had it not taken so long for us to receive our food, our experience would have been better. I can say the manager was very apologetic on the amount of time it took for us to receive our food, but we wasted a lot of time. read more

The food was amazing! They have awesome daily specials and their HH is great. The flavor was amazing. The prices even better. Oysters are on HH as well. The service was great! They are patio pet friendly which is a plus. Our server was very nice and even gave us an appetizer voucher for it being our first time there. Will definitely keep going on Mondays since I love bone in wings, and they're only $1 all day read more

Three of us got sick. Had to send the chicken tenders back because they were not cooked all the way. The platter I ordered was $29.99 and honestly worth half that amount. I do have to say that the Staff is wonderful. The Hostess seated us right away even though the rest of our party had not arrived. Our Server was very genuine and embarrassed that the chicken was a health hazard. We went there because of all the good reviews so hopefully this was a rare occurrence. It kinda ruined the Father's Day Celebration though. read more

We love the Crawfish from Willie's but they stopped serving Father's Day weekend. We came here on a whim, not expecting it to be as good, but boy were we plesently surprised! We will definitely be coming back here... Maybe even tomorrow! Avah, our server, alerted us about the rewards program and gave us excellent service! read more

This was our first time trying this place. It was amazing. When we walked in, there were ton of seata visible but were told that it would take 20-30 minutes before we were to be seated. It maybe took 10. We were able to look at a menu while we waited which made the food come faster. We got a waitress who was training someone. Both were helpful and kept brining us refills. I have never have New Orleans style food before. The food was amazing. Everything we got had a lot of flavor. Not too powerful and not too many flavors at once. We had a appetizer, meal and a dessert. As much as I would love to eat the same items again, I need to try the other items. Price was a bit expensive but I believe for the flavor, the quantity and quality...it is totally worth it. read more

We ventured to @bbstexorleans in the Alamo Ranch area for Sunday lunch. Yareli was our server who took good care of us. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Arnold Palmer, and I had Unsweet Tea. Hubby and shared the Mad Hatter salad, which was delicious. One of the better salads in town. Dad and I shared the Rockdale Redfish. It was tasty with the butter sauce. Hubby had the Redfish Etouffee. Good cajun food! read more

Awesome crawfish!!! Good seasoning and was live, good sizes. Cherry was an excellent waitress!

Not impressed with the food, way too much spice, the bus boy was slow and they weren't even busy and there were dirty tables The service was OK the place was completely dead but at least the music was good read more

The seats were uncomfortable. The food was tasteless AND the Caesar salad had more salt than the entree itself (fish and etoufee). Someone left a review saying that the water tastes weird.. turns out they are right! I don't recommend eating here and don't understand how their rating is high. At least the hostess was nice and smiled. If you're thinking on whether or not to try this place just pick any other option! read more

Unfortunately after this experience we are never returning to this established due to the subpar food quality provided. When we first dined here, we enjoyed the food but it's been a year since we been here. We came into SA to visit so we took our family out for Cajun food. This place was a hit last time we were here. We ordered our favorites which are the shrimp platter, fish ceviche, and gumbo. Shrimp platter : 1/5 super greasy and flavorless. The shrimp was definitely imported and was super chewy. Shrimp was definitely not from the coast. Cole slaw was awful and tasted bitter and odd. Fish ceviche:5/5 this ceviche batch was better than last time we had this dish here. The balance in acid was to perfection. I love that this balance was more lime forward. Highly recommend this dish here. Chips are freshly fried and paired well with ceviche. Gumbo: 1/5 I wanted to send this gumbo back but my husband wouldn't allow me to. Instead he insisted he eat it. (He hates food waste). First off they literally poured butter on top of the gumbo. It was runny and was not thick. There were only a couple shrimp in there and was more of a soup consistency than a thick gumbo. Flavors were off and tasted nothing like gumbo. From the picture you can see how greasy it was . Do I recommend this place? No. Only thing I recommend here is the ceviche. That's it. The water tasted off too . read more

Just discovered this place a few weeks ago and have been back every week since. Love the food and the service! Great specials and very attentive wait staff. Lex was amazing today! read more

We enjoyed our first visit here a month or so ago and decided to go back. What a waste of $70. My catfish was blah and my hubbies veggies were cold. They gave us a free appetizer coupon so we'd "give them another chance". We were told they have a new kitchen staff and we were not the only complaint tonight. Our waitress must have come to our table 8-10 times asking how we were doing. Too much in my opinion. We won't be back. read more

Saw this restaurant featured on a local food show so decided to give it a try. It's a lively restaurant with a busy bar and plenty of TVs throughout. We were seated immediately on a Thursday evening for dinner. Once our server came by to take drink order, we were given the complimentary chips and bean salsa. We started with appetizers of fried pickles and Cajun empanadas. The pickles were pretty standard, but the Cajun empanadas were really good. The Morgan City pasta was pretty bland and lacking on crawfish. You do have an option to add another protein for an additional charge. The shrimp and grits were presented beautifully. I was a bit underwhelmed with the dish. It was pretty good. However, I was a bit thrown off as to why cheese grits had whole kernels of corn through the grits, and the shrimp was a bit overcooked. The most disappointing of all the dishes was Lloyd's crawfish etoufee. There was so much grease in the dish that it had to be skimmed out. The flavor was on point but that grease was a big turn off. Can't say that I would drive across town for that again. But at least we know read more

Great food but weak cocktails and flavorless mocktails. But still the food makes up for it. Just drink soda or tea.

They nailed everything except the most important part--the flavor balance. Cajun food is supposed to be bold and seasoned, not just salty. This is a pretty clear sign the seasoning mix or boil was off that day. The fact that the manager remade it and it was still too salty tells me it might not be a one-off mistake--it could be how they normally prep their boil (a lot of places use heavy pre-mixed Cajun seasoning + salted butter sauces, and it stacks up fast). Next time to avoid that same problem: Next time I will ask for "light seasoning" or "no extra seasoning" up front or Request sauce on the side instead of tossed in it read more

The food is a good 8/10 but it's one of the best "cajun" food spots I've been to in SA. It's marketed as a New Orleans inspired place, the staff I spoke to definitely fit the attitude perfectly with that. Flat out rude. I was told these two bowls are the same size and price. They definitely aren't the same size I work in the food industry. When you walk in it is very homey it's nice. The music isn't too loud either. I would not come back for Togo ever again just because of how rude the staff were. Definitely will be coming back to eat in though and hope I don't get the same server. I picked it up at 8pm so no where near closing time. read more

Try: Mama B's Famous Shrimp & Grits. Why: Grilled jumbo shrimp, smothered in andouille cream sauce over a bed of cheese grits. I liked the cream sauce and smother the shrimp in it. I got a side of Collared Greens, which hit the spot after a few years of not having it. The Bacon wrapped Chicken stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños with a side of Cajun cream sauce were good but I was hoping for more pop on flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with complimentary Chips & Bean Dip, which came out right after we ordered drinks. I washed everything down with a refreshing Alamo Ale. Notes: There was a 15 min wait around 7pm on a weekend even though we saw many open tables - they seemed short staffed and/or had reservations. We decided to eat at bar since there was no wait. Hostess and Bartender were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Overall, solid Cajun-Tex meal with friends. read more

I ordered a whole fried Turkey a few days ago and picked it up this evening. Was told the turkeys weigh from about 9 to 13 pounds. The price doesn't change and that should have given me a clue. The turkey is not much bigger than a whole roasted chicken. Called them to ask if they were sure I got a turkey and they said yes and sorry. I am upset beyond words and will let everyone I know how ridiculous this is! read more

Okay, first off: my apologies for not taking any photos during our visit to BB's Tex Orleans. That said, I really liked the look of the exterior. It gives off a homey bayou vibe, almost like something you'd find on the streets of New Orleans, with café aesthetics that catch the eye from outside. Inside, the space is quite large. It could probably benefit from a redesign to better utilize all that open room. I'm no expert, but there's definite potential there. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by authentic Cajun music playing throughout the restaurant. It immediately set a festive mood and really added to the experience so much so that I ended up playing some Cajun mixes on the ride home! The Food: We started with the Boudin Balls, Creole-style dirty rice with pork and spices, rolled in panko breadcrumbs and lightly fried. They came with a chipotle remoulade and were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend these as a starter. The shrimp po' boy was generous--easily enough for two people. So if that's your thing, come hungry! We also tried the chicken and sausage gumbo. It wasn't super spicy, but it had a satisfying Cajun kick and depth of flavor. I ordered the Morgan City Pasta, also known as Maw Maw's famous "No Wonder Y'all So Fat" crawfish fettuccine Alfredo. It came with a choice of salad (I went with the house salad; very fresh, and the caesar dressing was great). The pasta was served hot and topped with bits of crawfish mixed right into the Alfredo sauce. You can choose between grilled chicken or shrimp--I went with grilled chicken. It also came with two pieces of French bread. Overall, a rich and hearty dish that definitely hit the spot. Atmosphere & Bar: The bar is in a separate dining area with a cool vibe and decor that feels like something straight out of the bayou. But on a Saturday night, it felt a little...quiet. The bar was open, but it didn't seem like people were really taking advantage of it. I'm not sure why, because the space has potential. I'm definitely interested in going back to try their Hurricane and the South Texas Jazz cocktails. Final Thoughts: While my overall rating might not be the highest, I genuinely enjoyed the experience. I'd come back, especially if the owners make a few tweaks to the interior layout and atmosphere. My first visit was a good one--and I'm looking forward to the next! See ya soon! read more

Tried to have dinner at a place where we had visited before with at least marginal results. The restaurant was maybe 50% empty, but there was still a 25-30 min wait (they were understaffed). We were seated 40-45 min later, and after ordering our food we finally got our appetizer (Boudin Balls) 40 minutes later (they were already cold because it had been sitting). When weasked to speak to a manager, they never showed up. Around this time another group came in, were seated and within 5 minutes had their appetizers and 5 minutes later their entrees. When we asked about our order our server was very nonchalant, and expressed no concern or urgency. We finally cancelled our order. When we asked to speak with the manager again, they were extremely dismissive, and didn't even apologize for wasting our time. Don't waste your time here if you value your time and have an expectation for at least average customer service. There are other places which have better food and service. We will not be returning. read more

My husband and I came in for happy hour on a Thursday. Oysters were half price, which is the best deal I've found so far. We also got an order of queso and fish ceviche, beers and a hurricane. The gulf coast oysters were a decent size and were very good (I mean, we ate 3 dozen!). Queso was good and the fish ceviche were good. Service was quick and our waitress was friendly. I loved all the artwork they had too, reminds me of NOLA. Overall, we had a great time and will be back for dinner next time! read more

Lazy kitchen shortcuts that could have been fatal. I wanted to give the new "Cantina" version of BB's a chance, but it was a massive mistake. Aside from the hour-plus wait for food because they were prioritizing a party room over the entire dining room, the level of negligence regarding food allergies is appalling. The Incident: * Ordered a plain burger for my 2-year-old with anaphylactic nut/dairy/egg allergies. * Server was informed multiple times. * Burger arrived late, and upon inspection, cheese had been scraped off the patty. * Cross-contamination is real. In a professional kitchen, if you mess up an allergy order, you remake it. You don't just wipe it off and hope the toddler doesn't die. The manager's response was a "sorry" and a gift card. A gift card is a slap in the face when your child's life was just put at risk by a lazy kitchen shortcut. If you value food safety or have medical dietary restrictions, stay far away from this place. They view allergies as a "preference" rather than a liability. read more
