Came in from out of town to celebrate with my sisters and wanted crawfish & boiled shrimp. We decided to go to BBs. We've visited this location before, but the service we experienced today by Ivy & Mike was beyond excellent! Ivy was very quick to attend to us and take our orders. She was patient with us while we decided. Once we did, she immediately brought us gloves and tied our bibs! Amazing. Mike dropped in on our table one to great us and then again to check on our overall experience. Our food came quickly and it was flavorful. We did have to ask for anything! Excellent service! read more

I ordered the regular shrimp gumbo, and crawfish étouffée, and it also came with a house salad. The gumbo was delicious and full of flavor, rich, comforting, and exactly what you want when you're craving something classic and hearty. The crawfish étouffée also delivered with great flavor, and the rice was cooked perfectly, which really made the dish come together. The house salad was a nice surprise as well, fresh, crisp, and refreshing, which balanced out the richness of the main dishes. Overall, this combo really hit the spot and made for a very satisfying meal. read more

To go review of shrimp n grits. Ordering was smooth when calling. When I walked in, the hostesses were friendly and helpful. Now as for my favorite dish from BB's, this was the spiciest one EVER. The shrimp were well seasoned and not spicy. I think offering a heat level would be good. Even the collard greens were spiceeee. Not sure if this is just a spicy location compared to others. I was bummed about the change in the garlic "bread". Why?! read more

A group of about 10 of us went to celebrate Mardi Gras. I appreciated Brandon for giving us separate checks. Moreover, they included a tip of 18 percent, not 20. When I arrived, our complete party wasn't there. So I got a hurricane at the bar. They were $5. It took a while to be seated. Plus there was not much happening though it was Mardi Gras. The only zydeko I heard was in the bathroom. I ordered fish tacos. They come with a salad and a side. I ordered a Caesar salad. It was good but I don't see why it has to be spicy. Instead of getting fish tacos, I received shrimp. I didn't bother complaining. The corn was Mexican style, with cream, and just a bit spicy. Parking is really tight. I had to park at the center next door where Palazzo's is. BB's on Westheimer didn't have anything going on for Mardi Gras. Too bad! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Alright yall here's the entrance - Southern Near Me - Houston, Texas

The crawfish at this location are great. We used to frequent Rajan Cajan for crawfish but they have definitely met their match. In addition, the wait staff has been consistently good. My only struggle is walking in to the front door and having to wade through all the cigarette smoke because they have a cigarette butt drop/station 5 ft from the entrance. That's a BIG negative because how much trouble would it be for them to move it another 15 ft away where no one has to inhale 2nd hand smoke. read more

Came on Friday during happy hour to catch up with a friend. We wanted to take advantage of their $18 waterman special during the month of November. It wasn't packed when we arrived and were seated immediately. Server was very attentive and the ambiance was like any other BBs very chill and welcoming. read more

Visiting from Chicago I really wish we had ones of these back home. Crawfish was fresh and delicious with perfect flavor. Empanadas (shrimp and cream) were tasty as well. Margarita on the rocks was yummy. Plenty of parking, nice staff, clean and good size venue with bar area seating, great options from fried or boils seafood, appetizers, drinks, etc... read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience has been ongoing and needs to be addressed. I've tried multiple times to contact the manager at this location and have not received a callback, even when I was told I would. Customer service has been consistently disappointing, and the cleanliness of the restrooms has been below standard on more than one visit. I've tried to handle this directly with the location, but due to the lack of response, I will be escalating this to corporate. I hope management takes this seriously and makes the necessary improvements. read more

Great customer service! Easy online ordering. Plentiful servings and flavorful, well-seasoned food. Got the pick 3 , with the sliders, shrimp, catfish and fries! Great location, clean establishment. Love the late hours. Will try the cajun pasta next. Just wish they had different fries, I dont particularly care for shoestring fries, but than that great experience! Forgot to take pics, food looked and smelled too good! read more

The service and the food were fantastic! We were a large group of 11 and Ivy, our server, took very good care of us. Drinks were served quickly, advice was given on quantity of food to order, she was in the spot when we needed anything! The food was excellen! we ordered crawfish, shrimp and boudin. All were delicious especially the boudin. We had a lovely visit and will be back! read more

First off, when we arrived, the host seated us and asked for our drink orders. We gave him a few drink choices, and then told him we wanted a seafood boil that wasn't spicy. He recommended the "Texas Heat" flavor, saying it was one of their most popular options. Since we were there with my 12-year-old stepdaughter, my almost 1-year-old son, and my almost 1-year-old daughter, we trusted his suggestion. When our food came out, we still hadn't received our drinks -- and the seafood boil was extremely spicy. None of us could eat it, so we let them know. They took it back, and when it was returned, it still tasted spicy. It honestly seemed like they just rinsed it off and added garlic butter instead of remaking it. To make it worse, the portion looked smaller -- only one egg, one corn, and a few potatoes. When we asked about it, the staff didn't seem to know why, but said they'd bring more out. Five minutes later, the server came back with just one egg. At that point, it almost felt like a joke. We spoke with the manager, who apologized and admitted they don't remake the platter -- they just "re-dip" it in a different sauce, which explained why it was still spicy. She offered 25% off and removed a kids' meal, but that didn't make up for the poor service and bad experience. Our bill was around $140, which we don't mind paying when the food and service are worth it -- but this was not. It took 30 minutes to get our alcoholic drinks, which arrived when we were nearly done eating. The server's attitude was dismissive, and the whole experience felt careless. Overall, very disappointing. For a family-friendly seafood place, you'd think they'd be more attentive and considerate when recommending menu items and serving families with kids. read more

First time back in quite a while and this location has deteriorated greatly. Ordered the grillades and grits and close to half of the meat cuts were extremely fatty. Decided a few days later to give it another try and was just as disappointed. Ordered the chimichurri strip steak and the sauce was barely any flavor at all. The rice served with it was gummy and flavorless. The worst part was the server Sabrina's very dirty hands, perhaps paint or ink-stained but sure didn't make a poor meal seem any more appetizing. The staff all appeared to have checked out, they all seem uninterested in service. Now I expect a cut-and-paste apology from the manager, the same one you see in 9 of the last 10 most recent comments. read more

Be careful when you go out to eat and the waiter comes to you with a handheld devise to pay your bill. Normally they offer click and pick tips like 15%, 18%, 20%, etc We went out for dinner tonight and the service was okay so I tried to tip 20% Not till I left did I actually look it over and realize that didn't add up. I heard about this on TikTok but this is the first time i actually realized it's true! UPDATE: I am being told that this is 20% before their promotion that they sent a text message to me about but did not give me a dollar value for. Here's another image of the discount that I got on that meal and if you add that up, plus the plus the taxes 20% does not even come out to the amount that they charged me for a tip. read more

Great place and one of my favorite places for crawfish season! I can get that Louisiana Crawfish cajun without having to go to Louisiana! Definitely enjoyable with friends because it's so much more worth it to order a large portion and share with everyone. My roommate and I ordered 6 lbs to share between us which was easy to kill. It is saltier than what I prefer but I'm addicted to the cajun spice. Service is average, everytime I come here, no matter what location, service is average. Waiters don't come back to the table frequently enough to refill drinks or bring additional napkins or condiments requested. It's even worse if it's busy during the crawfish season because everyone wants crawfish! read more

Just left lunch with my family and Robert was our server. He did incredible! Great service, great food, great vibe. Thanks Robert!

I LOVE BB's! The crawfish always goes crazy! The drinks are good and service is great! BB's atmosphere was so fun today for Fat Tuesday! We had such a great time! I visit almost all the BB's in Houston during crawfish season, so there will be more reviews coming from me! Happy crawfish season!! read more

I got food poisoning from this location never coming back disgusting environment serving expired shrimp

Was in town for work and really wanted seafood. This place was recommended by a local. Prices were very reasonable $15-$30 average with daily specials. Portions were big also. Ambiance was good (sports bar feel) with outdoor seating. Food was 3.5-4 stars. Service was thee best I had. Chase was exceptional and so was the manager Eve! 10 star service!! Service plus food = 4.3 stars read more

My friend and I had a craving for New Orleans inspired food, and our bartender at the hotel we stayed at recommended BB's and we are gladhe did! I ordered the shrimp and grits with string beans and my friend ordered the large bowl of gumbo. Shrimp and grits were well-seasoned, hearty and it hit the spot! My friend enjoyed the gumbo. The gumbo was a pretty hefty portion, so we took with us to go! Highly recommend BB's and will definitely come back for more! read more

The crab legs are super salty and they charged me 60$ for 2 almost dyed up legs. I asked about the market price and had mentioned to the waiter I didn't wanted to get the big convo for the 99$ Then my tab was $136 for 2 pounds of crawfish, corn, potato. A salad and the 2 dried up crab salty legs. I'm never coming back ! read more

A cold-ish rainy day found my sister & I hitting up this place. Yep, BB's is a staple for gumbo because they serve up one of the best bowls in Houston. Located next to the famous House of Pies (where I've spent many a drunk night back during my clubbing era...) there's plenty of parking but finding a place by the door can sometimes be tricky. Nonetheless, this place is worth the short walk from the back parking lot. Casual place with plenty of seating & a bar if you prefer sitting next to the booze. We were seated by a window & greeted by a very nice gentleman who took our drink orders. Score! He brought out a free app of their queso w red beans & chips. We each ordered the seafood gumbo w crab. The bowls hit our table rather quickly & we dug in. Man oh man, the roux is so delicious with the right amount of kick. Because I love Crystal hot sauce, I added a couple of drops. Chock full of seafood & okra, this bowl was heaven & chased off the chill of the day. Love that they don't overpower the bowl with a huge serving of rice. Their serving was juuuuuuuust right. And yummy. Seriously yummy. Waitstaff are always nice & efficient. Love this place. read more

This place and location can be a hit or miss. Tex Orleans Style seafood is the way to go. I made the mistake getting the Louisiana style, which taste nothing like how it's done in Louisiana lol. Most times, I've received very good Crawfish but there has been times when I received Crawfish that were mushy during in-season. The gumbo and hush puppies are A1. I like their frozen margaritas too! The wompus cat is my go to most times. read more

Was denied entry w/ a clearly marked service dog. I'm an amputee w/ mobility issues & used a service dog. She is trained to alert as well as help w/ balance so not a "pet". I entered wearing shorts so my disability was clearly visible and my dog was wearing a hot pink service dog vest. We were told the manager does not allow service dogs. I asked if they were sure about this as that's actually against the law and they confirmed. The door person was nice but it was still an extremely discriminatory policy and the first time I've ever been denied entry from an establishment. I left feeling extremely embarrassed and more than a little bewildered. I mean, they have a patio section which I would have happily sat in. I wants to be descriminated against but for it to happen because of my disability was a just a bit much. Needless to say, I'll definitely be filing the appropriate ADA complaints. My 8 yr old, well trained service dog should never have been denied entry. We are a team and there is a reason laws exist to protect these teams. read more

I got the lunch special gumbo. I've had it before, and it was always really good but this time not only was it room temperature not even lukewarm, but the portion size that they had audacity to send to me was smaller than a kiddie meal. Everything was miniature size . I know that there's inflation going on right now, but this is beyond ridiculous. If I could give them a half a star I definitely would. no I did eat it. What was I gonna do ? Throw my heart earn money away no this was a total rip off. read more

We've ordered crawfish from this location a few times and it's been hit or miss. It's kind of early into the season right now, but we got some over the weekend and it was not good. The tails are really mushy though the size of the crawfish were pretty decent for this time of year. However, there is barely any flavor to the tails which wasn't the case when we got some last year. Sometimes they do a deal on Tuesdays - 5 pounds for 35. I don't know if they started doing that yet but I also don't know if I'll go back based off of this last experience. read more

I will definitely not be coming here again worst customer service. Specially since I have family in the restaurant industry this was the worst experience. read more
