Jermaine service and vibes were great! So was the food! Will be coming back for sure

It's my first visit to BB's and it was a very pleasant dining experience. In addition to the great food the service I received from Becky was AWESOME!!! she was so kind and had things we needed at our table before we could even ask. She made our first visit GREAT!! Thank you Becky!! See you soon. We will ask for her again. read more

Eating a seafood boil at 3 am has never been on my bingo card. But there I was. Lol We ended up here and I've always seen it from being in the area but I've never had it before. I had shrimp and best stop boudin in a boil bag. And it was delicious. I added and egg and potato the ootato was chunky and kind of didn't get the seasonings on it like the rest of the food. I wish they would have cut it up. Service wasn't too bad considering it was a larger party and we had dropped in on them as last minute plus ones. I can imagine in the middle of the day or evening this place is different. It's definitely filled with alcohol fueled patrons this late at night. Will stop by during "regular hours" to see if the experience is different. I'm sure it wlll be. read more

Our server, Daylan, was fantastic from start to finish. Super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Drinks stayed full, timing was perfect, and he handled everything with a great attitude. Definitely one of those servers who makes you want to come back. Food was amazing, as usual. We frequent BB's during crawfish season and it never disappoints. read more

Everybody has their favorite little spot that they go to. You know that place where they have your favorite dish they have your favorite vibe. They have your favorite music. They have your favorite people. BB's is all of that for me. While their menu flexes and goes through changes, there are certain consistencies that they have that will always keep me coming back. They have a fried catfish crawfish, étouffée, and pot roast with debris gravy. Almost everything taste like it came out of my grandmother's kitchen. And their bar is the bomb too. Every BB's has a French Quarter Mardi Gras vibe. And then always brings back good memories for me. On this visit, I got fried pickles, pollo bullets, red beans and rice, étouffée, andouille sausage, and a fried catfish fillet. My son got a fried oyster Poboy and a side of Chaumette mac & cheese. I was so happy to be in Houston eating some of my favorite food. If you're ever in the Bayou City and want to give this local chain a try, I highly recommend their happy hour. It's a great opportunity to get a sampling of what this restaurant offers for a great price. You can never go wrong at BB's. The food always comes out consistent and good. On this visit we had Neecee taking care of us. She got all of our order correct and to make sure we got our order faster teamwork made the dream work. Everyone was stopping by and checking on our table. It was phenomenal. I sure do love the hospitality of this restaurant. read more

I went there the other night after leaving the Katt Williams show. I understood it was busy since it's spring break in Houston and people were out eating late, so I was prepared for a wait. We were told it would be a 25 to 30 minute wait for a table for 2. However, my friend walked around the corner and saw 2 open tables near the bar. When he mentioned it to the hostess, she seemed surprised and then said they would clean them off for us. It didn't seem like anyone had even checked. Once seated, the service was extremely slow. It took about 30 minutes just for my friend to receive a beer. When it finally arrived, it was warm. He went back up to ask if they had any colder beer and they didn't but topped off his drink. I ordered a margarita and that also took about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive. I ordered the shrimp basket with debris fries and a side of catfish. I even asked if the catfish was real catfish since some places serve swai and call it catfish. The food took a long time to come out, although it was at least hot when it arrived. By that point I honestly wasn't even hungry anymore. Unfortunately, my order was also wrong. The debris, which is supposed to be brisket, cheese, and gravy on the fries, wasn't on there, so I had to send it back and waited another 10 minutes. When the food came back out correctly, the catfish portion was extremely small and thin and honestly looked like swai. I took a few bites and thought the food itself tasted fine, so I was originally considering giving them 2 or 3 stars despite the service. However, the next day when I reheated the leftovers, I pulled the tail off and noticed the shrimp had not been deveined. It still had the digestive tract intact. I cook all the time. That is basic seafood preparation and was extremely unappetizing. I checked the rest of the shrimp and ALL of them still had the intestines and mess in them. At that point I just threw the food away. Between the extremely slow service, incorrect order, warm beer, and seafood that clearly wasn't cleaned properly, I will not be going back. What a waste of money. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - TOGO Crispy Fried Shrimp Basket - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Why has taken me this long to finally get to BB's Tex-Orleans I will never know. From start to finish I enjoyed myself. Located on Westheimer this spot has a good amount of parking, but finding a spot can get a little challenging on weeknights and weekends when things are hopping, because it shares space with places like Bun Slut and is an alternative parking option for folks going to Chopnblok. Thankfully there is street parking around. When you go in there is seating for parties of 4 or more inside, including a bar area with limited seating. They also have a patio area with ample seating, especially for smaller parties of people. The atmosphere is casual with a kiss of elegance (I spotted chandeliers hanging from the ceiling - nice touch!). I was greeted nicely coming in. I decided to eat outside in the patio area. My server Rie (Rye), who's also a fellow Ohioan/transplant to Houston like myself, was so pleasant and took great care of me! Thanks for everything, Rie (Rye), great to meet you! OH-IO! Nonetheless, let's talk about the food. They started me with a complimentary basket of chips served with this delicious red bean salsa, omg, so good! Since I was new here, I went with something that was familiar, the Shrimp and Grits. For my side, I chose Elote. All of it made my tastebuds dance! It was all so flavorful! The cheddar grits was perfection, the shrimp were a nice size, plump and tasty. I loved it all! I went with their Paradise Playa Cocktail that was bright, beautiful and refreshing! To say I will be back is an understatement. I can't wait to try other things on the menu, including their Crawfish Boils, and frozen drinks, etc! They have lots of delicious eats to choose from. My mouth is watering already. Definitely check it out for yourself! Enjoy! You're welcome. read more

Sam was a great server and enjoyed the food as well. Thank you for always being great and consistent with the food!

I love BBs but the waterman special disappointed. It was overly salty, my egg and sausage were so tough and overcooked I couldn't eat them. But the service was spectacular with the complimentary washing bowls after we ate. It's a clean location and one of my favorites for crawfish season. read more

10/10 experience, crawfish was delicious, and our server Tee was super friendly and accommodating!!

This is my first visit since the location changed. I arrived with 2 friends around 11:15pm. There was a sign to seat yourself. It took a while for someone to come, but once Clarence came things were off to a good start. It was warm inside the restaurant but you definitely get a New Orleans vibe. The pollo bullets were cooked really well. It's a nice and tasty appetizer to start with. Unfortunately, I had to eat it with my hands because I didn't receive any silverware. The crawfish étouffée on the French quarter plate was of poor quality. The rice was really mushy and it didn't taste fresh. I only ate the andouille sausage because I was afraid that everything else on the plate would make me sick. Maybe it was too late to order that kind of food. I should have ordered the fried seafood as I have done in the past with no issues. read more

Came on Wednesday 5/7 at 11:00p or so, serviced by a very friendly/helpful and funny guy! He had a New Orleans sounding accent but I remember he said he wasn't from there. He was awesome! All the food was good, no one had any complaints!!! Would recommend and will be returning when I am back in houston! Literally can't wait!! read more

Great food and service. Pretty pricey, but I found the portions generous and the overall value for the price paid more than fair; Had a ton of food leftover which was a huge plus. However, I did not understand why a single boiled egg goes for $2.99. Would definitely revisit for this location for the seafood nonetheless. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - 4 stars Now, take this with a grain of salt--I've never been to BB's before 11 PM on a weekend. For me, it's that go-to late-night spot to grab a bite after being out with friends. And clearly, something's working because I keep coming back. Let's start with my favorite part: the butter cake. I order it first every time--yes, dessert first--because I need the space to truly enjoy all that rich, sweet goodness. Add a scoop of ice cream, and you're basically floating in heaven. Just a heads-up: it's super rich, so if you've got a sensitive stomach, pace yourself! The gumbo is solid--reliable and consistent, though not exactly a standout. The shrimp and grits, though? Chef's kiss. That's a must-try. The po'boy is also a win--hard to mess up, but they do it right. Overall, I'd say this is one of those clutch late-night eats spots. Be patient with the service--things can move a little slower at that hour--but the food and vibe make it worth it. I usually come with friends, and we always know what to expect: good food, good laughs, and a satisfying end to the night. read more

Food & service was phenomenal. Qp was our server today . She was quick and attentive. Will definitely be coming back again.

Headed into this BB's during a slow afternoon just to give the chain another chance. I'd tried the one in Garden Oaks a long while back which was just an okay experience. The atmosphere was super chill, it wasn't busy at all. The bartender was nice and attentive, making some suggestions based on what I wanted to order. The oysters are small for the price. I expect all seafood to be a little pricey, but I've paid the same or less for twice the size elsewhere in the city. The cocktail sauce is meh. The shrimp and snow crab were cooked really well though! I got it Tex-Orleans spiced which wasn't quite as salty as I remember at the other location. Not very spicy which is a disappointment for me, but I'm sure it's great for some others. Overall it was a decent meal; I wouldn't turn my nose up if someone ever suggested heading back that way. read more

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and I must say the beginning of our experience was not good at all. Several of the servers were mean, rude, and even rolling their eyes, which made us feel very uncomfortable. I ended up reporting it to the manager because the service started off so poorly. However, the manager quickly stepped in and brought us another server named Candace. Once Candace started taking care of us, everything completely changed. I'm telling you, the service became absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure my guests and I were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Candace even put on gloves and showed us how to eat crawfish properly. I have never had a server in my entire life do something like that. That level of care and attention really stood out. Candace is absolutely incredible. If you ever visit this place, I highly recommend asking for her. She truly turned our whole experience around. Thank you so much, Candace. You made everything so much better. Wishing you many, many blessings. read more

Sam was awesome !! great costumer service thanks for taking care of us I will definitely be back!!

Ari was an awesome server. I enjoyed our experience tonight and will come back just for her.

Mitch and Daylan are superstars. So attentive, so hospitable, I can't give them enough stars!! I picked the right day to go because they have an $18 seafood boil for their 18th anniversary! What?! Sooooo good, so flavorful! Get the Tex orleans flavor, anything else is doing yourself a disservice! $5 hurricane margs for happy hour! I had buffalo bites and some dip too. Big back activities. It was super chill when I went, not too busy. I didn't use gloves because why?? Lol and he brought me a boil of hot lemon water to clean my hands before a good wash. 10 out 10! Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent spot. Great food and service. Tee was an awesome waiter. It's open late and the prices are super reasonable.

Not my usual location but still really good. We had quick service from a nice woman and there were no problems food wise. BB's is always a good place to talk with friends while having a meal, especially during crawfish season, which I unfortunately missed out on. I totally recommend the Boudin Balls if you don't know where to start. read more

I would have given 0 stars, but that isn't an option. Walked in to place a to-go order, on 2/2/26, around 6:30pm. Stood at the bar, for 15 minutes completely unacknowledged by every employee who saw me. At least 5 of them. And the last one, came and stood next to me, checking her phone. Not one person said, "We'll be with you shortly", "One moment please", not even a basic hello. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. And then I was leaving, one of them did have the decency to tell me to have a nice night? I have been to this location before, but will not be returning. The service was awful. The Richmond location, is much better as far as service. read more

The server we had was really great! Super nice! The food was tasty, we were just there cuz that was the first place my friend and I went to when our friendship began. So it brought back a lot of memories! Mind you it was 2am lol we still enjoyed it! It's always very friendly. read more
