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. But Foreverr More and La La Blonde Bombshell provide good service, drinks and customer service and I hope they take me home to adopt me. read more

Was not sure about this place but It was great! Ordered take out fried shrimp for my sons and they were so pleased. When I picked up the service was really friendly and quick. I got home to very hungry boys who were very excited with their dinner...DAD DID GOOD! Fried shrimp, fries, hush puppies and coleslaw were all very good. One son didn't want coleslaw so I had it and must say it's best I've ever had. Fried shrimp were crispy, tender and fresh! I'll be back for sure. 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

Absolutely amazing! always love the service especially when Forever is taking care of us! Fantastic food, ask about the rum cake Hands down always a good experience, again shout out to our family's favorite server Forever! (fun fact our family was the first to be served at Tomball location). 10/10 will dine again! 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.

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

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

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

10/10, definitely going to come back. Nolan was a great server, and my son LOVED him!

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

Went for lunch on a Monday, small little place and had alright service. They had a great option for like a pick 3 menu and it gave the option of crab and that's what I was looking for. Their crawfish is always great here but can get pricey very fast. read more

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

Free chips and delicious red bean salsa/dip for starters. Forget the meal- was happy with the chip and dip. But yes the meal was delicious too! Hubby had a pick 3- shrimp, fish and boudain. Boudain good just a little spicy. I had empanadas and you can add a boudain ball to any dish. Service was great. Cute place. Been to their other location before and loved it. Huge glass of tea. Will definitely be back again. read more

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

Over an hour wait on Friday night, which I would be okay with if we hadn't been told 30minutes when we came in. Then to see people magically get sat when us and another couple, separate from us, started asking questions after the 45 minute mark. We were each told there are 2 tables ahead of you. But another miracle happens, and hostess is able to seat 4 more tables in that span of time. Stull not even the other couple just ahead of us. Now I start to look around the dining room, and there are so many empty clean tables, as well several dirty tables. This now appears to be a staffing issue. We are more than an hour into our wait and we are not leaving. We are sitting right behind the hostess stand and the irate customers are letting these 'children' know how unhappy we all are. Absolute catastrophe. They finally seat the couple immediately ahead of us, then guess what... you know it, they seat another table. Finally The hostess calls us up,we stand up and they grab the menus to seat us, but not before another lady comes storming up and makes a big deal of her and her party's 'over an hour 'wait. Just like several others, But this lady, obviously more important than the rest of us,makes such a huge scene that the hostesses (2 of them, ) panic and leave us standing there and seat the loudmouth. I am not a scene maker, but come on... really? The two hostesses realize what they did, offer ZERO apology and try to find us a table. We are sat outside, it's a nice night so no issues with that, but service is slow tonight. Again I think staffing issues. At least our server, Bryson, looks to be a seasoned server and on the ball, and probably even more stressed about how downhill his night is looking to be going. We order our drinks and appetizer, and thankfully Bryson is what I originally observed, on the ball. He takes our order and we chat up a bit about one of their side dishes, a very strange sounding Mac and cheese. I am hoping the food and Bryson can turn this very negative review around, at least bring it up from its pending 1, only because zero is not an option. As I sit here though, I notice the couple that were right before us are still sitting at their table looking around, and no food. Not necessarily a promising sign because even though they were technically right ahead of us, another table and the loudmouth table got sat too. So it's been a hot minute since they have presumably ordered. Ope ! They are complaining to their server right this minute, ticking off the very valid reasons they are pissed, I don't blame them one bit. I also don't think it's being handled by anyone, there does not appear to be a 'manager" type around, if there is a management team on site, they are pretty bad at their job. This is the part where a decent manager would be making the rounds trying to at least acknowledge and make right whatever terrible excuse they have for tonight. Well, that couple left, that's a shame, they put their name in at 6.23pm, I know this because we were 6.25. It's now straight up 8pm and they are over it. I'm also secretly also hoping that loudmouth and her party are getting lousy service, I should take a stroll thru the dining room and check, but why? It's not like I have anything to gloat about, we still haven't gotten our appetizer. The boudain balls arrived and they are good, . I could use more heat, but they are a nice mild spice for my hubby (he can't can't handle a smidgen of spice.) We enjoyed them. So the food arrived correctly (again. Thank you Bryson) it was just fine/good. Nothing that would bring me back, but I also didn't order anything hard to prepare, just fried foods. Bryson did a better job than this restaurant deserves, I don't imagine he will stay there long if this is how the average Friday night goes. So, because of all that, they should get a zero, but because of Bryson, AND ONLY because of Bryson they barely eek out a single star. Never once saw a manager in the 2 and a half hours we were there. read more

My wife and I visited this location, and unfortunately, our experience was far from great. We waited an hour just to be seated, and once we were, our assigned waiter never acknowledged us--not even to introduce himself--despite actively serving the four tables around us. Thankfully, a young lady noticed us waiting and took our drink and food order, assuring us that our waiter would follow up. That never happened. After another 30 minutes of being ignored, I flagged down the same young lady to cancel our order and explain our frustration. She called the manager over, who was very apologetic and even offered to comp our dinner. However, by that point, we were uncomfortable staying, especially after having to complain about the waiter. In the end, the manager could only offer a free appetizer voucher for our next visit. Given the circumstances, I feel a comped meal for a future visit would have been a more appropriate gesture. Needless to say, this experience left a bad impression, and I don't think we'll be returning to this location. 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

Great location, easy to access, love the new menus. I had the lunch fried fish and my niece had the boiled shrimp with salad and gumbo along w a mixed drink. Drinks are able to be purchased for to go, but cannot be ordered at happy hour pricing if you are taking them. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience we will be back soon. read more

Do not waste your time at this establishment. It is disgusting there is nothing here that was good at all. All the weight staff is rude and doesn't care about being in the service industry at all. It was my birthday and the waitress could care less. Also, when I was given food, there were there was no silverware on the table and the waitress disappeared for over 10 minutes, so I got up and went to the bar to ask for silverware and the bartender handed me Plastic utensils. When I went back to the table, our server was there so I thought I'd ask her and then she comes back from the kitchen and hand me another set of plastic utensils. Imagine it being your birthday and ordering dinner which was over $30 now is cold and having to eat with plastic utensils. Inside of the building is hot and sticky. I don't think that they ever clean. We will never be coming back to this establishment. Also, the fish made me sick when I got home. It was an awful end to a birthday. read more

Definitely not worth it. Waited over 40 minutes to get food - it was a very simple order, with only one other couple in restaurant. While we waited we were not greeted by manager, nor given any explanation as to why it took so long. While waiting we had to listen to yelling between servers in the kitchen area. It was our first time there, and definitely last, which is unfortunate. read more

I called on the phone to order and the lady hung up on me . When I came in person they took forever to acknowledge us . Then when we asked to order to go they made us to the bar ... she talked over us and then walked away. Trash service . read more

This was my first Texas meal as I am not from the area and it was terrible. The gentleman who took my ordered came across incompetent on the phone. Messed up my order and the day after I realized I never got my hush puppies. The cost for the food was not worth it. The shrimp I ordered was grayish color and had a hard fishy smell. I was extremely concerned because I was in town and the Bestman for my friends wedding and was praying that I didn't get sick. I feel like I was robbed. So bad I feel like asking for my money back or disputing the charges. read more

Went to the 249 location on a Monday night about 6. It wasn't busy at all. I don't know what was going on, but the service was awful. It seemed as though the staff wasn't getting along and it clearly showed to the patrons. It seemed like forever for us to get waited on, and it started when we walked in the door. No one wanted to take responsibility for seating us much less getting us water. The waiter finally came, then disappeared. It was very unorganized. I have been to this restaurant before where it was great. However, even the food wasn't up to what you would expect. It was not a good experience at all. The bartender even came to give us the check and pay out because she felt sorry for us. Probably won't go back. read more

Finally tried this place and there is a lot to like here. Ambiance is delightful and I always enjoy a place that has indoor and outdoor seating. We dined indoors and our server Andrew was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu, and very friendly. The portions are generous for the menu prices and the fried catfish I had was very, very good. Filets with excellent flavorful coating that was fried to perfection (crunch without being greasy or burnt) and the fried pickle chips were very good as our appetizer. Normally I find it hard for the chips to be done well because the coating falls off them but these were good and the ranch with them did the job. Hubs ordered the roast beef poboy sandwich and while also a great portion thought it lacked the bolder flavor and seasoning profile he expected. I felt the same about my green beans and cole slaw with my entree. And I was quite disappointed in the two hush puppies with my entree as they were very dark exterior and tasted like they had been fried too long or twice and had a hint of sweetness. Sweetness and savory together are my foodie enemy and for this reason I also did not care for the garlic bread. If we return we will try other menu items as that red beans and rice looked quite tempting and will ask for Andrew's section. He was great. read more

Wait time is horrible. We were originally set to around 20-25 minute using yelp and went into to check in. Then as were checked in our time went up even more to add additional 30 mins. We really wanted crawfish and decided to wait. Well after a hour we finally sat down. Waiter: waiter was cool, slow but cool. He very rarely came by to check on drinks though. Even the table next to us was complaining that they haven't seen him much. Food: crawfish were good, but everyone in my party had to rush home to the toilet afterwards and the only thing we had in common was crawfish. Some of the staff is sort of rude and looks to be stressed out. No smiles except on the two black male waiters. They seemed to be the only happy ones. I was literally standing at the door waiting to be seated and heard them tell every guest that walked in that it would be 45 minute to 1 hour wait even though at least 15-20 minutes had passed from first set of people they told that to. I don't know if that's true or not, but seems that they were trying to drive away customers. At least 4-5 nice size parties left due to them giving out extremely long waits. However, it was like 6-8 tables outside, probably 5-6 tables inside free. I understand you can be short staffed, but to be rude to the people coming in and keeping you in business is freaking crazy if you ask me. Your customers literally is what keeps you working and keeping the doors open. No one was rude to me personally, but I could hear them making comments that were not nice referencing other parties. Just seems like they didn't want people coming in. If you guys don't want to close your business soon then you as the owner or management need step it up and get more involved with the folks you are hiring. Because I honestly won't be back. read more

We were visiting from CA and just happened upon this place. We were in a time crunch to be somewhere else and we got seated and served right away. The food came out quick, and the service was great. The waitress was very attentive, but not bothersome. She filled up our glasses after she noticed they were low. The shrimp and grits, gumbo and triple play were delicious! Flavorful and not too spicy. The portions were generous enough to share. read more

Delicious food, friendly service, and good size portions. I used the drive thru, which you order at the window. You could also order ahead and pick up at the drive thru window or curbside. If ordering at the window, they offer you a menu, but I pulled it up online beforehand. Ordering was quick and easy. Due to the amount of time it takes for the food to cook, they have you pull into one of the curbside pick up spots. We ordered the chicken and sausage gumbo, red beans and rice, key lime cheesecake, a kid's macaroni and cheese meal with fries, and a kids chicken tenders meal with fries. All of the food was delicious! I will definitely be returning. read more

BB's Tex-Orleans - Chicken and sausage gumbo with rice (red beans rice in the background). Delicious! - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

A great place for crawfish & sausage! Came with some girlfriends for cocktails and crawfish and this place didn't disappoint! Started with some frozen drinks and then shared a fun shot. The Texas Twister is a fruity fun frozen concoction that packs a punch. We nibbled on the Tex Cajun fries - yum! Onto the crawfish- it's sooooo good here! Choice of Tex-Orleans or Louisiana Way. So of course we had to try both! Tex Orleans comes drenched in a sauce: spicy, flavorful goodness. I peeled and dipped the tails back in it ! Louisiana way comes in a spicier rub style that has a deeper burn on your lips but kees you coming back for more. We enjoyed the added sausage- tried smoked garlic and alligator andouille. Surprisingly loved the alligator the most! Crawfish pricing changes to daily market rates but sizes were good. Can't wait to come back ! read more

I visited this newest location off 249 during their first service, lunchtime. Since I dined alone, I sat at the bar area where there are plenty of seats and even three 4-tops. As customary during the 1st day, there were several employees present to accommodate guests, although there were not many during my visit. I am sure with time there will be many more. I was greeted right away by the bartender who made me a red-headed wompus cat on the rocks, their version of a hurricane. Its made with Ron Rico, Diamond Head and Calypso as the 151, which are house rums, bottom shelf type stuff which works okay in a street cocktail. They don't work that well in tiki or other craft cocktails though. This drink was okay, but for some reason not as good as the location on Eldridge. I hear their Texas twister, a frozen combo of the hurricane and margarita, is even stronger. I ordered the Thursday special which is Grillades and Grits, a beef tips dish served over grits along with collard greens and toast. It is a nice stick to your ribs type of dish. One of BBs most popular attributes is their happy hour from 330-6 weekdays where they have half price apps, hurricanes, draft beer, etc. I also added the banana bread pudding which was delicious and a large portion. Its pretty sweet and sitting in a pool of condensed milk. Friendly staff, many of whom have worked at other BBs locations. Overall I had a good experience with no mishaps. It was a pricy lunch though at just over $41. read more

3pm on a Monday & it was the worst service ever. We did not receive crawfish until 1 hour into sitting...Had to keep getting up to go ask for our drinks (after waiting about 20min) had to get back up because they only brought 1 plate of food out (10min had past) had to ask for plates & silverware. Crawfish were small. Most of them were soggy & broken. Not cleaned properly. No flavor except for on the outside. What a waste. Never again. read more

This restaurant is supposed to be from a lady originally from Louisiana as the cook original cook the food was very good. All kinds of Cajun styles especially liked the catfish flies that refried corn meal had really good flavor to them. good crispiness to the food in their side sauce was pretty decent. Went too bad. I recommend this place if you like Cajun food it's pretty close to some of the other authentic style Cajun food in Louisiana so give them five stars. read more

Can't figure out a way to add to my original review to answer the restaurant's representative, so I'll add another review......... I would have been smart enough to figure out a delivery charge for somebody like Doordash, for crying out loud. So, no, we dined in the restaurant, along the south wall, first table next to the door into the kitchen. We were a party of two people. My entree was the blackened redfish etoufee, menu-priced at $29.99, bill stated $35.99. My wife ordered an entree and a drink. Her food and alcohol were similarly inflated. I'm choosing to believe that this was an honest mistake and that you had some obsolete menus circulating, but in any case, honest or not, it was a mistake and a bad one at that. We are warning people of what happened to us, including readers of this rating. read more

So glad that they opened a BB's closer to me! Staff is super friendly Brad & Angelica were super nice & helpful. We have made it our bi-weekly spot! The kids LOVE IT, my son scarves down their macaroni and cheese he says it's extra creamy, the chicken tenders are always hot & not overly breaded. Waiting for crawfish season to begin, but in the meantime I'm enjoying their hot & peel shrimp (on Wednesdays you can get 1 Lb. for $12.99 I love to add-in the monster greens You can't go wrong with the pollo bullets, boudin balls, fried shrimp Poboy, shrimp Caesar salad is wonderful & the grilled shrimp Poboy is beyond good. I don't recommend the the combo that has roast & grits it was pretty flavorless & the meat was tough the green beans were BOMB though. read more
