Food was really good, I recommend the fried shrimp and the wings. Ryan was a great server

My husband and I were referred to BB's by our hotel. Food was absolutely amazing!! Our server DK was the best! Although, from Eastern Shore MD and Philadelphia, we never really knew how to properly dismantle crawfish! DK was kind enough to recommend food from the menu and also become a crawfish dismantle instructor!! Thanks DK for being so helpful ....I'm hooked for life! read more

Today my husband and I visited the bb's Tex-orleans on Richmond ave. Our server was Kandice. She provided an amazing experience as it was just our second time visiting. She recommended a great alcoholic beverage for me. The service was impeccable! We never had to ask for anything! She kept our drinks filled, accommodated me with any and every question I asked. She was amazing and we will def be coming back. Thanks Kandice! read more

Came in at 9.20pm and seated ourselves as shown on the sign. We waited for 5 minutes before being shown the menu as there were no menu available on the table. We then asked for a menu and ordered the Bayou Blessing and a lime agua fresca. We were promptly served chips and salsa. We then proceeded to wait 50 minutes. We had to ask another server to check on our order, just to find out that our order was not even sent to the kitchen. Mind you, the original server we had walked by multiple times but did not update or check up on us. We left right after that. Would not recommend, there are many more better local crawfish restaurant. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Dirty rice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I look forward to BB's Tex Orleans fried turkey every Thanksgiving! For the past five years, their service has been incredibly reliable. The turkey itself was exceptional this year--perfectly cooked and clearly prepared with care, as it tasted wonderfully clean and fresh. The price is affordable as long as you place your order the week before Thanksgiving. I usually get the fried turkey, and my family and I come together to each make a side. Thank you, BB's, for consistently delivering such a high-quality, delicious, and dependable holiday meal component year after year! read more

Gumbo is delicious and their crawfish when its crawfish season. Waitress super nice and attentive. The ambiance definitely had the new Orleans vibe. I like this location. read more

Ryan was good. Great fried shrimp and fish. Will be coming back for the same meal. Would recommend if in the area

Their gumbo is really good. I am not a gumbo expert, and don't claim to know much about what a good gumbo should taste or have in it, but I like theirs. That's all. In the words of Andrew Zimmerman. If it looks good, eat it. read more

tee the greatest food was came quick n hot.10/10 must try again burger was so delicious

Had a simple and quick lunch meal of crawfish and fries. I love the BB's franchise but what really brought it above and beyond was the waitress, Shira! If you need a bubbly pick me up, ask for a table with her. I felt welcomed, checked on, cared for and considered. She was swift and everyone I saw her interact with seemed pleased too. This particular locations is smaller and on the homey side, a little humid (but where in Houston isn't). read more

Great boudin balls and delicious crawfish! Corn and sausage were a bit hot for our lips to handle but overall delicious! Service was fantastic and cold drinks on point. We ordered the special sauce and added a side of the melted citrus garlic butter to drizzle on top and coat the crawfish. Eat with a side of their shoestring potatoes and perfect meal! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - 3 lbs of crawfish with smoked garlic sausage and corn - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I usually like this spot, but 2-3 hours before closing the kitchen seems to get lazy. Last night several plates, including mine, came out lukewarm. The table next to us even sent two meals back just to get them reheated. My server was friendly and attentive, so this isn't a front-of-house issue - it's a problem on the line. The red beans and rice came out barely warm, with a weak portion and way more beans than rice, which made it feel cheap and thrown together. The cooks are the heartbeat of this place, so it's disappointing to see the quality drop off toward the end of the night. I hope management tightens this up, because it's an easy fix and this place could be much better for late diners. read more

My family came here and had the worst experience ever from the start the smell outside was horrible didn't get any greetings mind you we waited 30-45 minutes and 5 different waiters walked by constantly walking by not even asking if we have been waited on Never comin here again bad service bad customer support HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT read more

HH I tried the boudin nachos and they were surprisingly good. Now I was told all the locations aren't always as good, but I thought I would miss not having enough meat, but I didn't miss it at all. Our server was cool and it wasn't super packed like the Heights or westheimer location. Bb's is always casual vibes. We went after work for hh. read more

I love being surprised by a place I'm not sure about when I'm traveling. Bones is a 10/10 bartender. And the El Chavo's Burger is without a doubt one of the top-5 burgers I have ever had. I wish I had room to eat more. read more

I have been missing out on crawfish all season long and decided to get some this past Memorial Day Weekend. I have been to this location many years ago so it's been a while since my last visit. I don't recall ever trying their crawfish either. I was really wanting a nice patio vibe but unfortunately the heat and humidity in Houston was unbearable. When I arrived, I was able to park in their parking lot behind the building and walk up. My friend was already seated inside with her margarita. It did not feel like the AC was on but it wasn't extremely hot. Inside is pretty small as there are more seating on the outside areas. The place was filled with people dining in and the 2 servers that I saw were working hard to accommodate everyone. Our server came by to get our orders and I opted for their frozen Mango Margarita with strawberry flavor added. To eat I ordered their Citrus garlic flavor on the crawfish with a side of corn. Their citrus garlic flavor was really good. I had asked for a little sample on the side to taste it and it was great for dipping the crawfish in. I would go back and get more of those crawfish. read more

My mom and I wanted crawfish. Luckily, I found an article from Eater that said BBs had them. I looked online, realized they also had happy hour and weren't too far from our hotel... sold! The ceviche was fresh and delicious. I think our waiter gave us the wrong portion (we wanted the $5 HH) but $10 for that amount is worth it. Shrimp were good. The seasoning was spicy and messy. HH price for those were $8, another great deal. The crawfish (our reason for visiting) did not disappoint. We went Louisiana style and it had a great heat, wasn't overly salty. There were some big crawfish and most of the other ones were small but that's how the season has been. Service was great. We had a hiccup with our bill but the manager quickly fixed it. Both our servers were attentive throughout the entire meal. We're going to remember to add this as a must visit spot when we're back in Houston. read more

Long excessive waits, mid food, bad vibes. Wouldn't recommend to anyone plenty of actual good food spots. Also bad service

Went to BB's during happy hour for a drink and crawfish. The drinks were well price and tasty! The crawfish were $10/lb which isn't bad. I tried the Louisiana way seasoning, it was a bit salt but would be willing to try again. Great place with nice food and drink selections, as well as a friendly staff. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Crawfish - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Worst crawfish/ they're dead crawfish. This is the Richmond location. I've tried giving them to-go chances and eating in person. It is so horrible. Save yourself money and go somewhere else. I ordered 5lbs (in person) of crawfish and it looked like 3lbs and they gave me corn and potatoes that I did not asked for. Let me tell you, mostly dead crawfish this on 4/24/26). I simply wanted 5 lbs of crawfish. They try to bamboozle you with corns and potatoes to throw you off that they give not the pounds you asked for. I usually end up taking to-go cause I drink a lot when I'm there but this time I could hardly finish one lb. Today, it was just simply aweful and even asked the server and I guess, the manager of this is really 5lbs. The heights is the best location but once again, I go here (Richmond location) because it's so convenient. Now that this is the 4th time they've done this BS with bad crawfish, I would never go here again to this location. Just go to Chinatown and save yourself the disappointment. Better drive far than to waste money on dead crawfish. Terrible location. Fooled me once, shame on me, fooled me twice, I guess shame on the location; fooled me the 3rd time, I'm just a dumbass to even try this place again. Absolutely horrible!!!!!! I basically got 2-3 (dead crawfish) lbs of crawfish on the platter that I ordered 5 lbs for. Inexcusable (mind you it only looked like I ordered 2-3 lbs) and asked them if they're sure this is my food...that's how bad it was. And I simply just let them take it to the trash, paid, and leave. read more

Not sure if all the BB's Restaurants are the same. But I used to love this location Or have the owners have changed. Sorry ' But , it was the worst crawfish I ever had. And still they had the audacity to charge for lemon. " The one ingredient that can fix almost everything. " Now. I cannot mention where I would tell you to go ' because it would be so unprofessional. But there is a couple of places that you would want to eat more then 1 pound. Imagine me eating only one pound. One pound !!! That says it all. To mention it. How long could a bucket of beer can take to put them in the ice to the table. read more

the fish was great and good texture and taste. the fries were crunchy and did not taste fresh. sliders alright. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

The worst crawfish anybody in this world could ever have. They have three different flavors. It was exciting to read the menu and look at it as the food looked great but the crawfish flavor one garbage flavor, two garbage favor three garbage there was no taste to any of the crawfish Then let's move over to the shrimp for an appetizer garbage. They boil all their stuff from the water from the brazos because the water is horrible. There is zero flavor in any other food. It had to be the most disgusting place to eat in the planet The only reason that these guys are gonna get two stars is because the service was great. The bartender was slow, not due to him due to the fact that the manager was sitting there well that bartender was working his butt off to try to catch up and the management didn't even try to help him out The worst place to eat food do not go there if you wanna have a good meal or at least be able to taste anything but boiled water read more

We're loyal customers because of the quality of the food. However, we've had THREE experiences over the past few years where the servers and managers are unwilling to serve people on the patio during the rare beautiful Houston weather. When it's crawfish season in Houston and you get a blue sky it's very frustrating to be told repeatedly that the patio is unavailable. The first server said it was due to construction that was happening that evening. Then the manager said they were having a rodent problem. We explained we were great with rodents should they appear at 5 pm (unlikely). Fortunately, Ms Tee agreed to serve us and was the bright star of the afternoon. She saved the day and ensured we'll give BB's another try. Please give her a raise or a bonus and get riding the other guys as they've forgotten the essence of service in an industry reliant upon it. read more

Bebe's is always reliable. It may not be my favorite crawfish in the world, but I always know what I'm getting. I don't really like their wet style, but I got their traditional Cajun with some of their new citrus, garlic butter? At least I've never had it before, and it was really good. We'll be back. read more

I'll start by saying the food at BB's is excellent. In that regard, they truly deliver on flavor. However, the service was extremely disappointing. We were initially seated indoors but requested to move outside. When we first sat down, we were helped by a server who was attentive and professional (and I later understood she was assisting because our assigned server had left us waiting for some time). As we waited, we witnessed the server who was originally assigned to us approach the one who had been helping -- right in front of us -- looking visibly upset that she had "taken" the table. Eventually, we were moved outside to one of two available six-person tables. After sitting down and receiving our appetizers, we were abruptly asked to move to a different table because the one we were occupying had actually been reserved. I have never, in my life, been asked to move after being seated and served -- it was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. After relocating, another server came by to ask if we needed anything else -- even though we had not yet received our main order (the crawfish). We reminded them, which led to multiple servers coming to our table to discuss -- again, right in front of us -- who had placed the order and what went wrong. It turned out the order had never been entered. They apologized and promised to expedite it, but it still took another 25 minutes for our food to arrive. While the food itself remained very good, the service experience was unacceptable. I have never written a negative Yelp review before, but this experience compelled me to share my concerns. What made the experience even more disappointing was that, despite all the issues we encountered, no effort was made to make things right -- no offer of a complimentary drink, appetizer, or even a small discount. A simple gesture of goodwill could have softened the situation and left me with a better impression. Had they done so, I likely would have been more understanding and would not have felt compelled to write this review. Advice to management: Hold a staff meeting to clearly establish expectations. Each table should be assigned to one server only, without exceptions. Customers should not be exposed to internal staff conflicts. Maintaining professionalism in front of guests is essential for a positive dining experience. read more

This location is horrible for customer service and food. On numerous occasions, including today, service was lackluster. We will not be returning to this location; three times too many we have encountered the same issues here. It felt as if my family and I were pulling teeth today asking for things we previously asked our waiter for numerous times such as paper towels, gloves/bibs, etc. Not to mention, inside was super stuffy and appeared as though they didn't have the air conditioning on. read more

We had a great time at BB's recently! I went with a group of girls to grab dinner and drinks before heading out. The seafood boil was delicious, they have great prices for snow crab. Heads up, even their most mild option is pretty spicy. They also have some really large and fun cocktails to try. Great place to go with friends! read more

Ordered the gumbo and a salad. Both were v v mid. The gumbo looked like something out of a can with this small condiment container sized amount of rice to consume with it. The salad I ordered was pretty horrible, lack luster and a shell of what was pictured online which led me to order anyways. Also annoyingly so...I placed an online order and when I hot there I still had to wait 10 mins despite arriving after the time given for pick up. Alas I blame myself for again trying to eat gumbo from Texas... read more
