We come to this location because it's smaller and cozy. It always has awesome service. And they still had crawfish. They were huge and amazing! We love the food and come here often! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - 5 lbs of crawfish! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I went there thinking that I was going to get the 5lb for $35 Crawfish special. When I did order, I tried to order the special and the waitress informed me that the water creature special of the day was 2 Snow Crab Clusters and Shrimp. I asked her was she sure because crawfish was always on special for Wednesdays. She went to ask and sure enough the special was Snowcrab and Shrimp. She said that the specials change weekly. My soul was crushed, because I specifically went there for that special. I asked her how much the Crawfish was and she said $10/lb. I said "for frozen Crawfish"? She said "Yes". I said a few other words pertaining to that and we laughed. My craving for Crawfish wasn't at a point where I was feining, especially due to them not being in season and other factors. I'm a bit prepared to be let down during these times. I decided to go ahead and get the Snowcrab and Shrimp special. They have three flavors which are The Tex-Orleans Way, The Louisiana Way, and The citrus Garlic Way. I chose the Louisiana Way. It came out dry with NO JUICE AT ALL. The Shrimp were cooked well, but the seasoning was on the outside of the shell and not inside. The Snow Crabs were borderline salty due to the seasoning on the outside. I do not like seasoning on the outside. It should be on the inside. That is why I chose The Louisiana Way instead of The Tex- Orleans Way. I won't get the snow Crab and Shrimp again. If I do go for Crawfish, I will have to tell them that I do not want seasoning on the outside. In the past, I always had to tell them that when I use to go on Wednesdays. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Dry boil no juice - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

This is not my first time visiting this business. This time was on a Wednesday and to my surprise they were busy! every other time it was me with my guest and maybe a couple other folks. The parking was no issue and getting a table was no issue either. The food was good, I had the blacken redfish and it was not bad. My guest appeared to also enjoyed their food as well. We also had the empanadas for an appetizer which I recommend they were excellent. Overall, I would recommend. As for eye candy that would be the bartender outside of that you need to bring your own. The bill was a bit steep $115, two beverages each, appetizer, and two entrees. Overal l would recommend and will visit again. read more

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

I go to BB's when I just want to get boiled crab (when it's not crawfish season) or crawfish without having to wait 10 hours. I must admit that this BB's is my favorite. It's located on the end of a strip center, and it isn't that big inside, but they also have a lot of outdoor seating as well. The crab and or crawfish is always seasoned well. They serve potatoes, corn, sausage, mushrooms and a few other things a la cart if you'd like to add them on. I always get a couple of potatoes (they are usually pretty small) and a couple pieces of corn with extra butter and seasonings on the side. The crawfish or crab has never been overcooked at this location. The service has always been good too. If you're looking for a quick boiled seafood experience and you're in the neighborhood, I'd recommend giving them a try. I hope you like it as much as I do. read more

If a restaurant wants my business, they must publish the current menu with prices otherwise I have plenty of options which will publish their prices. Have been to several of their locations, but I like to decide what I will order beforehand. Don't want to share, then don't care for my business. read more

First, let me start by saying I love BBs, but this location is horrible. The staff is never attentive and never responsive. I have gone a couple times now thinking they had an off day and man I regret it every time. I now drive to other BB locations, such as the Katy location, if I am looking for BBs crawfish. Regardless of the service, The crawfish is your standard BBs crawfish. It's definitely good when it finally comes out. Do not recommend this location at all. read more

Decent and consistent food when needing a seafood fix. The boil shrimp are always delicious. The potatoes and corn could be more flavorful.

The service was horrible! Ordered to go and the bartender told me it would be 10 minutes which understandable since it was later in the afternoon 2-3 pm. It took almost 30-+ minutes and the food was not right. I ordered Cajun empanadas and a larger gumbo. She didn't write did my order right however repeated it back to me correctly. The bartender didn't seem to care about take out orders as we were 1 or 3 people who had been waiting for 20+minutes. She had the nerve to say sorry to her coworker cause there were so many people waiting for food. Her reasoning was extra busy but only had 2 people sitting at the bar. She asked if we wanted a water, but then didn't get it made a coworker get it instead due to her being busy. It didn't give a great restaurant clean vibe to it! Putting my arm on the bar, I felt how sticky everything was. I felt the restaurant feeling dirty and needed to wipe/rinse my arms due to the stickiness. Now the food! The Cajun empanadas were filled with nothing but a cheese sauce, and no Cajun/seafood in it whatsoever. I was giving a small gumbo bowl and it was not even an appetizer size of food! The gumbo was a small and wasn't even an appetizer size! Which didn't make sense why it took so long for an appetizer and gumbo(which is already made at the beginning of the day they just put in a bowl) I didn't have time to wait for them to fix it since it took 20-30 minutes longer than expected. I will never return! I will never recommend, in fact if someone suggested it will point them in better places. If I could give no stars I would! read more

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

Purchase measuring cups STAT!!!!!!!! I've already been to BB's once and had an incredible experience. The crab legs were very flavorful and cooked very well. My problem is with my experience going today, which happens to be my birthday. I was incredibly excited, thinking about it all day. The server was was kind, made us laugh, and talked with us about how he also doesn't like spicy things and prefers flavor. I dove in as soon as our boil arrived, and was overwhelmed with spice. My eyes got red, I drank two full glasses of water, and could barely enjoy the taste over the lava on my tongue. Last time we came it was still a little spicy, but a good spicy. It literally said on the menu (we got the citrus garlic) that this was "less spice, more flavor." Are we deadass? I was so sad, especially since I knew I still had to pay the $90 price point. I couldn't keep a straight face to our server and after explaining, he said this was not the first time they've had this complaint and it tends to be inconsistent. Buy y'all's kitchen measuring cups STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lowkey convinced the kitchen sent out the wrong order and didn't want to fess up cause...... less spice more flavor my ass. read more

The food was amazing and service too! I noticed they were short staffed, but our waitress was phenomenal! The food came out fast and delicious! Everything was perfect!! I wish I lived in Houston so I could enjoy this place often! Also, it's budget friendly! read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - This was crusted pecan chicken, pineapple cilantro rice, and elote! Very good! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm always down for crawfish & since they were doing a special (5 pounds for $30) which isn't a bad deal for this time of the year, so my friend & I agreed upon this place. The last time I was here, it was maybe 3 years ago, the crawfish I had was so salty to where it was inedible but this time around the flavors were spot on. I ordered their special of course, a side of potato, corn, egg & their Alligator andouille link sausage. Let's start with the crawfish, the seasoning was on point, it wasn't over salted, good amount of spice but for myself I would have liked it to be more spicy because I love spicy. Corn, egg & potatoes were good. The sausage was juicy and had a distinctive taste to it, but Jesus Christ it was pricy (7.49 a link). Now here's why I gave it a 4 stars, there were several amounts of crawfish that tasted mushy & dead. They need to do a better job of taking out the dead ones, cause ain't nobody want that. I also felt that they should have cleaned it a bit better as well. Other then that the crawfish was decent. Our server D'Andre was very nice & accommodating, he came by to check up on us a couple of times & even the manager came by as well. Will I come back? Yeah, but next time I'll try something else. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Shrimp & Crab Boil Experience - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've visited this location a couple of times and I must say that each time was a great experience. Before I get into the food and how it taste, I would like to say that it seems as if BB's has a host of great staff. I love how each person that I've experienced have been warm and seem to enjoy being there. That combo is definitely the making of a great experience. This past Saturday was beautiful and I felt like getting out to enjoy it a bit. During this COVID season, I take every opportunity to dine on a nice patio every chance I can. With that being said, I was able to enjoy BB's patio on a beautiful Saturday. Ok- I'm ready to move to the food now. Boudin Balls - Amazing!!!!! South Texas Fire Po-boy (fajita beef, topped w/melted pepper Jack cheese, avocado, sautéed peppers and onions. Topped with a spicy pepper cheese sauce) Maw Maw's Bayou Tea - OMG Needless to say, I enjoyed my visit!! read more

We have since returned to this location. In hopes service has improved since our last experience with FRANK who completely embarrassed and harassed us we received notification from ALYSSA R. who informed us to email them and of course we didn't get any response which i'm sure will happen after this post. So i'm not sure why I found it a surprise that FRANKS is still here doing the same thing to us that to others. My only suggestion I can share is to go to the bar they are excellent or NEVER have Frank as a server. I'm also including this picture of the dirty bathroom to encourage visibility read more

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

From deep South east texas, I grew up on & love creole/cajun so I decided to try this place last night since it's right by my apartment. I wanted to keep it simple just to get a taste of the cooking here. I order the catfish poboy with fries to go. The catfish was fried well but really underwhelming on the flavor side. It didn't taste bad but honestly very lacking. The fries were regular, shoestring, stayed crispy through the warming station til I was done eating them. Ambiance. I could hear what sounded like live music, zydeco playing as I was walking up to the doors, I don't know why but this gave me hope lol, anyway wasn't live the music was just pretty loud. If you're in a more close intimate sitting I don't think it should be an issue but if you are with a group I think it could get difficult to hear each other. I was helped pretty promptly I'll say I had my order within like 4 minutes of standing up front. I say give it a try because the staff seemed nice, people seemed to be enjoying themselves and the food isn't all bad. read more

I will give the service that I receive from Nikki 5 Stars and management a NEGATIVE ZERO STARS! I have been coming to this location for years and ever since Amanda & Michael left, management has gone to crap! I have sat today & watched the store flow for over an hour with not 1 manager or key hourly manager present! When you do ask for a manager, the key person will come out with an attitude! They have no manager skills what so ever and leave staff to drown! I have been in the industry for years & even worked at this location & never understood why the bartendar has to tend the bar, take to go orders and distribute to go orders for $2.13/hr & have to neglect their patrons.. for NOTHING! This store is busy during crawfish season and that is for a reason.. the service is TERRIBLE! I sit at the bar for a reason.. NIKKI.. and if she ever leaves I am sure they will lose all of their bar business! I ordered 3 lbs and my friend ordered 2.. "management" would not allow me to combine and make it 5 for $40, never even came out of the office to address my issue... As angry as I was, I just paid and left! Trust me, after crawfish season is over, I will not come 2 times a week like I usually do and they can take the Krew of Royalty and shove it! BBS's has a great concept but from top to bottom, management and staff SUCK! Lunchtime service is so slow it's sad... somethings really need to be addressed before it ends up closing down.... Management and Service really needs to be addressed!! read more

The crawfish was good and spicy, this is probably the best crawfish in Houston.

I am visiting texas from georgia and the first place I went to was here. I went here on a friday night and when I walked in they had sports channels live on the TV's, The seating is very comfortable and there is not alot of people in there its just nice and chill. I ordered some honey bbq wings and they offered me gloves and a moist towelette. The food was very good and I enjoyed myself, I came back the next day. read more

I had the very unfortunate experience of eating here last night when the nearby restaurant we originally chose was closed. I ordered the catfish and got two tiny little pieces of catfish that weren't even the size of a McFish square. This was $20?! It wasn't even good, nearly flavorless so it seems they rely heavily on the sauces they provide. To add to this the fries were inedible, they had the texture of being re dropped to warm them up and it just turned them into a chewy mess. For $20, this was absolutely criminal and there is zero chance that I'll ever return to any BB's location as this was my first and only experience with this panther of establishment. The restaurant was also very slow with only 1-2 other tables the whole time we were there, so I really don't understand why we had to wait 10 minutes after we'd finished for the take home box (don't worry, we left the awful fries that I wouldn't even feed my dogs but they got the rest of the slop). I see they have a manager replying to other comments saying they strive to be a five star establishment, but I'm also seeing you've been saying that for a while now and nothing seems to have improved. Don't bother replying unless it's to refund me, your excuses aren't working and you should be off of social media working with your staff to actually correct the many issues of this establishment. read more

Amazing server and good , BUT terribly rude hostess! The flavor of the crawfish was great and the drinks (Bri Bri's creed with a grand marnier floater) were delicious as always. I was even able to buy a sealed drink to go! How convenient. Thanks Seth! Our server, Jess (blond hair), was delightful. She was fast and efficient but also very welcoming. We asked her if there was a chance to sit outside on the patio since the weather was AMAZING and she said she'd check. While we waited for her to come back we decided to see if the hostess could check the table layout and let us know. Her name was Brittany (she has red hair) and she was RUDE. She yelled "that's why you need to wait for your server". When I tried to explain that I was just checking she yelled "Talk to your server!" and walked around me to help someone behind us. Wow. Not okay. Luckily we were able to still get good crawfish and have a great time. read more

I had to update my review after visiting my BB's location today. I sat in the bar during voodoo hours and the bartenders KILLED it!! Made me happy to come back to BB's. Oysters were half price for happy hour! My boozy lemonade tasted amazing! My crawfish were big and filling. But the bartenders were attentive and kind. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing with my date. BB's stepped up their game, definitely will be sitting at the bar next time! read more

Excellent crawfish. We were thankful to be in the area during the season. Spicy and juicy. Service was quick and the staff are friendly.

I've ordered a fried thanksgiving turkey for the last three years and I've never been disappointed. The pick up couldn't be easier. The staff had my order ready for pickup.The staff was very polite and friendly. If you want a Cajun fried turkey, then this is place to go. read more

I ordered the half shrimp, half oyster poor boy sandwich. To be honest the seafood could have been more seasoned; however, the bread was great and the cook fried the seafood perfectly. The seafood was fresh and tender, and the sandwich was over stuffed. The shrimp overflowed the sides . After adding Crystal hot sauce and ketchup , I ended up with a tasty meal. The portions are huge. I could not finish the sandwich or eat the fries. The fries were abundant and the prices are reasonable. I will return. There is even a loyalty club. The service was friendly and welcoming. Stephanie made sure my order was correct and came back to check on my satisfaction. read more

This is the most banging food in Houston!! My goodness! For the next few Wednesdays, they have a deal for 5lbs of crawfish for $25!!!! You cannot beat that! I added corn, potatoes and sausage to our crawfish, and the spice and flavor from the wet sauce is wowing This was my 3rd time trying BB's since I moved from NC to Houston, and let me tell you the consistency is just remarkable!! The Shrimp and Grits may be the best I ever had at a restaurant! The bread that comes with it should be sold in bulk!!! It is amazing!!! The Boudin Balls, are just balls of pure joy!!! The Tex Fries are great, just het extra gravy and queso if you order for pick up!! They also save your information when you order which is great! The kid's chicken tenders are amazing!!! And the pull up/to go service is so efficient!! I can't wait to dine in and to bring my family when they come visit from NC!!! read more

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

This particular location is trash. I had the WORST experience the BBs on Eldridge will never see me again. I was on the patio with my 2 friends having a normal conversation and this older White male behind my friend told her to shut up already. The manager Steven, told us we had to leave and he was calling the cops on us. I asked why? I just spent $200 here... he came across extremely racist & rude. I was embarrassed to say the least. Trash service. read more

The service sucks Marcel the manager is terrible the girl behind the bar with the blue shirt on rude

Its really hit or miss with the food and the service here. Friday night we weren't even acknowledged as we waited by the door to be seated as the sign states. We ended up seating ourselves on the patio. Beth was our waiter. I think he was having a really busy night even though half of the tables were closed due to social distancing. I would NOT recommend take out here. Its like they don't care! That baffles me because in this environment/economy you can go out of business fast. We order chicken tenders platter. The chicken tenders were soggy. The few fries were thrown in as an afterthought almost. We spent a lot of money to cater an event and so extremely disappointed. The manager, I believe, Amanda, is no help. She seems to want to assert her limited power as opposed to making sure the customer is happy. The staff in general doesn't seem like they want to be there at all and the food at other locations is better. read more

I have tried four different dishes on their menu, and I have found that their food tastes are very well balanced. Food that I enjoy while eating and also dont have guilt feeling after. My absolute favorite was loaded pollo bullets! Its chicken stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños and wrapped in baccon. It is so succulent, I could happily overindulge.:) A dish not to be missed. Also liked their cajun empanadas. Stuffing is delicious and the outer shell is nicely fried, not greasy like many others in the market. Maw maw's gumbo is a popular here, however, it was not pleasing to my taste palate. It was too blend and I dint get the kick on this dish. Also, had their boudin balls, which was a good decent appetizer. Good add on if you want variety to your order. I wanted to order cajun taquitos however it was not available on their current menu. I was told its available on a different location though. I saw in the photos, cajun taquitos looks so tempting. I was disappointed due to my crazy cravings, but I can understand. During this Covid19 time, they are offering indoor dine in, a nice little outdoor patio, take out and curbside pick up. They don't have assigned curbside parking, however when I was there in front of their entrance, one of the staff member came out to attend us even before I could dial their number. Very nice service! I'd return to try their crawfish and off course my already tried favorites. read more

Please read. I wish I could give 0 stars. I was craving crawfish so I orders 5 pounds from here with fried pickle appetizer and a catfish platter. My total was about $80 for ToGo order. No big deal. I wasn't expecting too much because I'm used to eating Asian style crawfish with lots of garlic but oh my god. This has to be the worst place for crawfish. 1. THEY ARE NOT LIVE CRAWFISH. It is currently crawfish season and when placing my order I confirmed with the person that they only have live. 4 out of 5 pounds were all DEAD and disgusting. 2. CRAWFISH ISN'T CLEANED AT ALL I kept getting sand like texture in my mouth and kept having to spit it out. What a horrible experience. 3. AWFUL SMELL AND TASTE. Probably because most were dead anyways, but the smell was so terrible, my fiancé just stopped eating all together. 4. FRIED CATFISH WAS SO TASTELESS AND FRIED PICKLES WERE WAY TOO SALTY. The whole Togo order was such a big disappointment. I feel so disgusted and honestly my mouth still taste like poop or something from the eating the dead crawfish. Never will be back and BE AWARE y'all. read more

I was not able to make their happy hours on Monday (3-6 PM) due to training, but I still wanted to taste their food. Ordered the Red Headed Wompus Cat and had it frozen. It was a tasty drink but sweet. Didn't taste too much of the alcohol. I did not know the portion so I just started with a shrimp gumbo with crab meat. It did not look like much food, but I really liked it and finished it rather quickly. I needed more sustenance so I ordered their Tex-Cajun fries. The waitress said that I made the right choice like I just hit jackpot. When it came out, I was shocked at its size and thinking "How the heck am I gonna finish this?" The fries were just what I needed. Definitely hit the spot. I tried mightily, but I was only able to finish half. I took the rest home since I rarely not finish my food and certainly hate wasting food. Would like to come back and try more items. read more

So me and a friend went to this location last Monday. Our server with blonde and purple/pink highlight never told us her name. She seemed very stand off ish throughout our visit. The food was still great as usual but then it only got worst from there. We moved to patio, She got upset because we used red bucket on table for our crawfish shells she replied with an attitude saying "THATS NOT WHAT ITS USED FOR AT ALL" and walked away. Once it was time to pay I left my friend with cash for the tab and went to the restroom. When I returned she came back with the change and no receipt and I asked for a receipt and she replied with " I TOSSED IT!" So then asked if she could reprint the receipt and she was very adequate that my change was $24. I insisted if she could just reprint the receipt for my records. She then told me that she would "SEE" if she could reprint my receipt?? Which caught me off guard. Once she finally reprinted the receipt she had charged us for things that we never ordered. I ordered the smallest size or red beans and rice but she charged us for the large/regular. It seemed like she was trying to take extra cash and trying to hide the fact that she did. This is very frustrating and troubling as i myself im in the industry and would never treat customers like this. read more

We really enjoyed eating here. Our waiter was too cool. We decided to dine out on the patio and enjoy the breeze. In Houston, you know it gets nasty hot, so an evening of some nice air is a plus. You have to try their cheeseburger with their BB's sauce. It is absolutely delicious, seasoned, and juicy. The bread made it even more delightful. Our other dish was the empanadas hush were tasty and I liked the sauce. The location is a good location with plenty of parking. We were doing a staycation near by and decided to come here, and we were not disappointed at all. read more
