While I enjoy visiting any BB's , I attended this restaurant twice recently. Located just off of Hwy 249, it's easy to get to and has plenty of parking spaces. They have a large outdoor and covered dining area along with the interior dining area that also has a full bar. I ordered Bedtime in the Bayou which is their fried shrimp po boy that comes with fries for $15. The waitress brought us a complimentary appetizer of chips and bean dip that was very good tasting and something not on the menu. My po boy was also delicious on tasty bread with fried shrimp and was dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. The fries were good too and I would order this meal again (4). Another trip was to try their Maw Maw's gumbo with chicken and sausage. A bowl of it is $15 and it comes with some bread and crackers. This too was a very good tasting meal. The roux was rich in flavor and there was plenty of chicken, sausage and rice in the bowl. Again another enjoyable meal (4). In both visits the table service was prompt and friendly. Good Cajun food and a nice atmosphere are some of the reasons why I will be returning to this BB's! read more

My absolute complements to the chef....the seasonings were perfect-no "dead" recooked crawfish! I wanted to call the chef out and give him a standing ovation-but I ate too much! Our waitress was wonderful- I think her name was Kat, such a sweetie! Want to give her a shout out! She even took care of our pooch with a bowl of water! We will be back' Lately places have forgotten haw to cook crawfish with seasonings and flavor! Impeccable! read more

It is very difficult to serve below average crawfish in HTX because the competition is so intense but this place truly has the worst seafood boil I've ever had! Crawfish tastes like a combo of tap water and melted butter (and I got the Tex mex seasonings!), and the shrimp was salty and dry. We were so disappointed in this place. Stars are only for service and atmosphere. read more

Krawfish here is always amazing! The flavors are out of this world. My server 4ever was very attentive and sweet. Love her xoxo

We got seated a little before 5pm on Easter. We looked around and didn't see any of the complimentary chips until 20 to 40 minutes after sitting down. The table near us (arrived around the same time) received two and another table that got seated after we received the our food received one. Every time we asked for a status update, the staff said they didn't see any. After a while, someone came by to explain how they've run out of chips. They were running a $35 for 5 lbs. of crawfish promotion, and it came out at 5:30pm. I ordered the super greens salad with the sauce on the side, which had to be remade because the waitress saw the sauce had been added. We asked for the salad order to be canceled, and the waitress said it depends on if they've made it already. A waiter came by to drop the salad off at 5:51pm. It did taste good and didn't have any wilted pieces. The salt from the blue cheese, sweetness from the minced candied pecans, and tartness of the dressing and sliced grape tomatoes melded well with the curly greens. There seems to be a bit of disconnect between what the kitchen has ready and when staff should come by to pick food up. Th crawfish were mostly medium sized with a few larger ones. The Bayou flavor feels powdery on the hands and light on the tongue. The rice is 50 cents a cup and was kind of hard, which was kind of understandable as it's usually for soaking in gumbo. One of the metal parts of the outdoor patio chairs was kind of sticking out, so it snagged on my pants. Sitting in the patio was kind of chilly. It was busy but only 2-3 small groups were waiting at a time. We had to retrieve a roll of napkins for our table when food finally arrived. When we asked for a fork, it arrived quickly in its paper bag. Upon opening it, it had caked on stringy remnants. The staff were friendly when you had their attention yet were inattentive while away from the table and only seemed to pay attention to their tables. read more

The shrimp and grits were outstanding. Loved the ingredients mixed in with the shrimp and grits which gave it amazing flavor. They have Crystal as well as Tabasco which really kicked the meal up a notch. We received our saladr and dinner almost at exactly the same time so it was a bit overwhelming and would have preferred to have had the items spread out a little more rather than everything at once and waiting for everything to arrive at one time. Our wait staff were very friendly and nice. super personable and could speak both Spanish and English. The atmosphere is a blend of Texas and New Orleans just like the name but it does lean on New Orleans Louisiana for atmosphere. There are regional drinks found in Louisiana that can also be found here. My spouse found that her Margarita was a little too sweet but not a real big problem. Prices were just a little high and portions were just a little small. See Photos. read more

Let me tell you ERIN ( bar server) is the best! Great Customer Service! She help us to the max with making sure we understood the menu and what we was ordering. Always checked on us and made sure we were taking care of during our visit. She's the best! read more

Waited to be seated at the host stand and a hostess came to the post and walked away. Never got seated so we left. Terrible customer service I will say. read more

Came her for a Saturday lunch with my husband. I had been to another location before and really loved their gumbo. We tried their boudin balls, a fried fish platter, and gumbo. Of course we also had to have a frozen beverage as well... Never pass up a frozen beverage... Anyway- the gumbo was not quite as good as I remembered, but everything else was super yummy and filling. I really loved their boudin balls- always a great starter. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. Overall a great Saturday lunch! read more

John the manager and Erin the server was very attentive. We came in close to closing and assisted as it was our first time visit. Thanks guys!!! read more

I had the most amazing time here especially with Erin being my server. This is my 3rd time at this location and my 2nd time with having Erin as my server. I enjoy every bit of her and the location. I hate the fact that she was working everything by herself when I went due to staff standing around and watching her work the tables, being clean tables, take orders and run the bar by herself. The other lady stood by the bar and just looked around and did not help. Besides this Erin is fantastic and i will visit again ONLY if she is here. read more

Erin was amazing today!! Only one on the floor during happy hour for my visit and she did great even with multiple tables she kept checking on me!! U got a great worker for customer service. Ask for Erin when u eat here!! read more

I've been coming to the BB's Tex-Orleans location on 249 for over a year, but unfortunately this visit completely changed my opinion. I ordered the Bayou Blessing boil, which includes crawfish, shrimp, snow crab, corn, and potatoes. While eating, I discovered a snail sitting in the boil that clearly did not belong in the dish. Seeing that immediately killed my appetite. I brought it to the manager's attention hoping the situation would be taken seriously. Instead, he asked what I wanted him to do about it, and even made a joke saying that "everything here is edible and delicious." Finding something like that in your food is not funny and should have been handled more professionally. To make matters worse, the only thing taken off my bill was one $5 drink, even though I stopped eating the meal entirely after that. The response felt dismissive and did not reflect good customer service. After supporting this location for over a year, this experience was extremely disappointing. Between the food quality issue and poor service, I will not be returning. read more

Been here a handful of times usually on the weekend for dinner. I went last night on a Saturday evening around 8pm. We stood there a while until someone seated us. The server took a while to get our order so they brought us chips and quest while we waited. The food is decent, but in my opinion overpriced. I never get the boiled seafood, but I hear it's good. Other than the boiled food, there really isn't a lot of options to choose from. The shrimp and grits is my favorite. The Texas Twister is my fav drink and strong, but in a good day. Service was very slow and was kind of annoying and we didn't get checked in until the end when we were ready for the check. They need more wait staff. read more

Ooooooh, I was asked where to go to get the best crawfish! BB'ssssssssss! I was the 3rd wheel for a first date and we played around with where to eat, they are not from here so it was either Yelp or wateva. No mexican I yelled, my friend girl said she only likes sea food and he said wateva she wants, unison she and I yelled CRAWFISH! For me it's a no brainer ESPECIALLY with the price of crawfish, I'M NOT spending good money on flavorless crawfish. We were in the Willowbrook area and willing to travel, however there's always a BB's nearby and the vibes are always vibing! They are not just great for crawfish, Cajun food as well. Oh yeah the crawfish is ALWAYS clean. This Tomball BB's offered a free appetizer of chili beans /salsa, I'm guessing that's what it was...shoots all I know is that it was free and saved us money on paying for an appetizer. I'm not going to rave about how deeelicious the crawfish was, pictures say a thousand words! Skip below.. Here today! Be back tomorrow! read more

Nice variety of healthy Fish and Salad Grilled Red Fish... yum!! Also love the Citrus Vinaigrette dressing read more

Shrimp and grits was awesome and our server Forever was an angel. Highly recommend this place! Pickle chips are freshly battered and not too salty. read more

The food and service is not like it was when they opened . Service was lacking , the waitress never refilled our tea which is funny because it's $3.50 a glass .Had to wait for a box to go along with a tea Togo. Saw the waitress to order , deliver to food , another person dropped off the bill . When she came to collect the check had to remind her again about the container to go . This was not a $40 dinning experience. Think we will make a better choice of restaurant next time we want a Cajun meal. The food was o.k., was not as good as other local restaurants. read more

I come here often, and lately, it's been super busy with an hour-and-a-half wait every time. The wait times have been insane, even though there are plenty of empty tables. I'd really like to understand why that is--I also see quite a few servers around, so I'm not sure how this system is working. Also, please fix the door or at least put some WD-40 on it--the noise is wild! Like I said, I come here often and enjoy it, but honestly, it feels like the system needs some improvement. read more

I walked out! I came to get a to go order. The bartender didn't acknowledge me and when he finally did he threw the menu at me. Then i watched him lick his fingers after placing a fruit garnishment on someone's drink. He didn't wash his hands and began to shuck oysters which SHOULD NOT BE DONE BY THE BARTENDER. I have a shellfish allergy like many people and the bartender behind the bar could kill someone with the cross contamination. I won't be returning back. Totally disappointed and disgusted. read more

Friday night seafood was on tap for us. I ordered in advance for pickup, which was super easy. I still have birthday rewards to use so tried that. Ended up using a reward for free boudin balls instead. I still have time to use my birthday rewards. I got the alert to pick up my food. The location was nice and bright, we should come here to eat inside sometimes. The bar was small and crowded but it was Friday afternoon. Food: I went away from normal and ordered the fish and shrimp tacos. They were good and had plenty of slaw which is how I like it. I did not like the boudin balls. Glad they were free. They were very fishy, almost like they were fried along with the seafood. The taste was very unexpected and I only ate 2 of the 6. I thought it was maybe the sauce or just one but they all had that taste to them. My family enjoyed their food, peel and eat shrimp, redfish with etouffee and fried fish with collards. We will visit this location again, super convenient. read more

Erin is awesome and I love coming in during happy hour when she's here. The vibe in here is always top tier.

It's Fat Tuesday, and I came here to celebrate. What a celebration it was; I enjoyed the camaraderie of the staff and patrons. I listened to the band on the patio and had a few drinks before deciding to head home. I must say that for a very busy evening, it wasn't a wait for tables or food. Of course, I ordered takeout on the way out. I decided on the fish fillet with shrimp, fries, and coleslaw. I added a bowl of red beans and rice, which had a lot of flavor, and huge chunks of sausages. You know most places you go to will give you red beans and rice without the sausages. My niece ordered the Shrimp and Oyster Po boy and was delighted, too. Let's say we will be back for the food and the place! It's such a cute restaurant. It's very decorative, with images from Texas and New Orleans, and you feel like you're right in the heart of the French Quarters! read more

I don't know what happened today but it was the worst service ever...this location has lost it's customer service badly. Shout out to the young lady hostess that took care of us and did her best to serve us and to the server that didn't want to take our table but took the next table in the same section, first impressions mean the most. Worst service today! Understaffed is understandable but being left without being sat and then sat and no one came until the hostess noticed....yea where is the manager read more

Now I see why this location has bad reviews. I called 15 times to place an order. Their phone line hangs up. Also I waited 37 mins for a Togo order and they didn't get it right. This location needs some real help. read more

I came into the restaurant to pick up my order of crawfish 7lbs total. I drove an hour home and the food was not correct. I called I did not initially get a positive response over the telephone and was prepared to get a full refund. The manager John not only remade my order he made it right. He refunded remade and apologized for the mistake. I was not a happy customer walking in but he definitely gave me the wow experience by making me whole again as a customer. This was exceptional customer service and I will be back again read more

They had a great deal and it was $35 for one crab cluster, 2lbs crawfish, 8 shrimp and corn and potato. Very flavorful but the crawfish are still small. I thought the spice was great and tasted so good. Would definitely recommend. Service was good! Very helpful and kind and recommended this deal. Good patio to sit outside as well. read more

Foreverr More and La La the Blond Bombshell are my favorite bartender and server. And the lil brunette bartender. And the greeters at the front door. And the cool bros that work there.

I'm sorry but yesterday came here around 5:00 got 5lbs of crawfish the entire bag of crawfish was mush and over cooked idk who y'all got back there cooking this year but they are ruining the crawfish. I was livid spent too much money to have a 5lb bag of over cooked crawfish. read more

The food was excellent, service was ok we had a party of 8 had to ask for silverware and asked for lemons 3x and refills but we did eventually get them. The place was nice about what I expected nothing fancy. We will go back for sure. The crawfish étouffée was delicious and the fried fish was on point as was the salmon. read more

Horrible service! Food salty! They need help and a manger on the floor! Don't go here!

The quality of service at the Houston/ tomball location is not as good as others. They do not check the to go orders. Received incorrect item. they apologized & offered to replace the item. Why would I drive another 30 minutes there & back in the rain? Just asking to double & triple check orders! read more

Bbs near Louetta tonight. Stayed 30 minutes and no one took my order. I will not go back there again. Obviously they don't care about their patrons read more

3 out of 5 stars is the best I can give you. There was no cayenne pepper in that crawfish etouffee. I guess they ran out of it during the day, and subbed it for black pepper. If they did put it in, it was hiding from me like the Rougaroux. I'm sorry, but crawfish etouffee is my favorite Cajun dish, and it needs to have cayenne pepper in it. I would add some Louisiana hot sauce as well, just to add a little bit more flavor to the dish. The Caesar salad that came with it was good though, and I liked the complimentary beans and chips that came to the table. You have potential. Just put a little more hard work into it. read more

It's solid. Not mind-blowing, but good and authentic.... We order from here when we have a craving for Cajun food but don't need anything fancy. Favorite items are red beans & rice and boudain links. Decent portions, decent prices. read more

First time out in 3 months after having a baby and all I wanted was some crawfish! I absolutely am so picky about crawfish and this was THE best my husband and I have ever had. They had a special of 3lbs crawfish and 2 crab clusters with corn and potatoes for $45 and of course we were treating ourselves! I had a watermelon margarita...forgot the name of it but it was fantastic. Service started out spotty as multiple servers walked by us and we were left ungreeted. Only negative I have to say about this place is service could have a little more pep in their step when taking care of tables (as a fellow server/restaurant manager of many years) but Tiera (hope I spelled that right) completely made up for it! She was attentive and personal and took care of us even though we weren't originally her table. She noticed no one had greeted us and helped us get started but by then we were already ready to order so we told her to just keep us at that point. The good food and Tiera will be the reason we come back and the reason I gave 5 stars. Thank you again Tiera if you see this or your manager does! Any future patrons....ask for her! She was the best read more
