    Great Cajun inspired food. Not 100% authentic but close. I have been here before and it is a great place to get a cold one and enjoy some Cajun inspired eats.

    I came here for the $18 waterman special. It did not disappoint. The food was hot, seasoned, and filling. I added the vegetables for an extra $5.99, but it was worth it. The only downside that I would say is that the shrimp was a little fishy. Besides that, the food had great flavor. Kids also eat free on a Tuesday, so that was a plus! The service could've been better, but our server was friendly.

    BBs is okay. The food is generally good but the service is pretty bad, especially if you're picking up food to go. They always take sooooo long! The new remodel does make the place look nicer & more lively but there isn't any space to wait for your food, there's no To-Go area pick up so you're sort of at the mercy of the bartender or host to remember to get your food. In the meantime, you're awkwardly waiting around people at the bar or those waiting on a table, which can be a long line. I think twice each time my husband tells me he wants something from there because I hate picking up food there.

    I've been to a few BB's around the city and they all have a special thing about them that I love. This Katy location did not disappoint. The service is on point. The food is delicious. The customer service is next level! The decor and ambiance at this location followed suit!!!

    We had the sweetest server named Averie! We went for happy hour drinks and appetizers. She was interacting with our group of 14 seniors. She was on it! The staff was helping out by running food and drinks. We asked her to have the music turned down. It was also a little chilly in there. She kept checking back and asking if we needed anything. We go out to eat at least 10 times a month. Just a side note, someone said something that may have hurt her feelings. She ordered what someone in our group pointed at on the menu. The manager didn't come out but we wanted to let someone know, that Averie didn't do anything wrong. She was worried about getting in trouble. We encouraged her to shake it off and don't let anybody tear her down! Keep your head up Averie, you did an awesome job!!!

    We were out and about and decided to have a late lunch. One of our choices was BBs Tex orleans. We were greeted immediately and could sit wherever we wanted. They had signs about construction but this was no issue. Heather was our waitress and she was amazing! She was friendly and super attentive throughout our meal. The place was not crowded. There were about 3 other tables of guests. We were originally doing the triple play with all boiled spicy shrimp but she told us they just changed it so we can't double up. No problem, we chose shrimp, snow crab and sausage. The plate also came with dirty rice. Excellent appetizer but the crab was small. The shrimp was delicious. I ordered shrimp and grits with collards. My husband ordered catfish and my son ordered redfish with etouffee. They were members of the clean plate club. I had leftovers. Heather got us to go boxes and made sure we had plenty of refills. I had nearly a full meal left because I ate a lot of shrimp and the rice. They also brought some chips and beans but I didn't eat it. Heather also made sure I registered for the rewards program and I needed to because I will be back. Wonderful meal and a great cost.

    We had a pretty long wait because of the size of our party, but it was worth it!! The food was amazing and the service was superb!! Jazmine B made sure that everyone in our party was taken care of from the start! She was very helpful with the menu items and answered any questions that we had. She made suggestions for those who aren't seafood fans and even made sure that our birthday girl was treated right on her special day!! Thanks for an amazing experience, Jazmine B!

    I visited this location today, April 6. I ordered 5lbs of crawfish (citrus garlic), monster greens, and water. I visit this location a lot. Out of all the times I have been coming here, I only had one issue earlier in the year. Nothing to the point where I wouldn't have came back. But after today, I will NEVER come back to this location! 1st the food, was great. No complaints. Very flavorful and the temp was very hot. Crawfish was a nice size and wasn't overcooked. Monster greens were prepared good, too. Seasoning was just right. The service, HORRIBLE! I sat in the bar section, along the window to be exact. I sat there for over 10mins and no one even acknowledged me. Both of the bartenders seen me. I was turned facing them and they both looked me dead in the face. More than once I may add. One came out more than once and helped everyone else but me. One couple was by me. He asked if they were ok. Still said nothing to me. I am not the one who pulls the race card. However, I was the only black customer at the time. You're saying something to everyone else, but not me. I definitely felt a way. A white couple came after me and sat at the main bar. Who were kiddy corner from me. After 2,3 mins. You acknowledged them and to give you a moment. But you couldn't acknowledged me and I had BEEN sitting. That is a problem!! So, another waiter who wasnt even working the bar, came to help me. I said I was wondering when someone was going to help me. He told me he wasn't working the area and the bartender sent him over there. I understand people get busy. But if you can stand there, talk, and giggle with other workers and people..you can come and say something to me. I told this waiter this as well. Even if it was to say I am sorry and I will be with you in a moment. But noone said absolutely nothing. I am a very patient person. I feel I was blatantly ignored. I got my food. It took a very long time before anyone even came to see if everything was ok, if I needed anything. After awhile, a young lady came to ask me. I just asked if she could just bring my tab and another water. I did that because who knew when someone was going to come back and say anything to me. Let me just get what I need now. Anyways, in the midst of all this, another black couple came. They sat at the main bar right by the white people he did address. They sat there for so long without anyone saying anything, they left. If it isn't a race thing, fine. I can accept that. However, the service was trash . That was the impression I got, and I do not like how that made me feel. Because of that, I will never come back to this location. It is crazy how the customer is expected to leave a tip with that type of service. I am a very good tipper. But, don't expect anything when your service is trash! The ONLY reason I left any tip at all was because of the nice bus boy who emptied my bowl. To be honest, if it wasn't for him, I would not have left anything!

I didn't recall anything bad about the place, and given the rave reviews since then, I thought it was time to return. Based on reviews, we showed up early on a Friday evening (~5 pm). Even at that time, it was mostly full, but we were able to snag seats at the bar, which is first come first serve. We ordered the "regular" grilled oysters (5/5), which were anything but regular, as they were topped with peanuts and a really great flavor. I'd get these again. Fair warning, these take 20 minutes to come out, which I didn't mind, but I did not realize that they would not bring us anything else until after the oysters since these are considered an app. I thought they'd just bring things out as they were ready. This meant, we did not get our crawfish until we were already sitting there for an hour. About halfway into the wait for the crawfish (after the oysters), the fried rice (1/5) showed up, and I have to say, it was underwhelming. It came out room temperature, which to me is cold, and I thought this was just how they do it. Except 15 minutes later, the seats next to us got their fried rice, and it came out piping hot. You could still see the steam coming off of it. Besides being cold, I didn't think the fried rice was that good in terms of flavor. I also generally prefer the short grain rice, and this was more of a long grain. Once the crawfish showed up, we were well past an hour, so we dove right into it. Both the garlic butter and combo mix were great flavor - some of the best I've had in Houston. However.... it made me remember why we did not return. About 20% of the crawfish were TINY. And by tiny, I mean they were smaller than my pinky finger. Maybe I'm a crawfish snob, but at this time of the season, there should not be that many tiny crawfish. Maybe a few small ones, but not tiny. Crawfish flavor = 5+/5, crawfish quality = 2/5, crawfish cook = 3/5. Then I made the mistake of ordering a cluster of snow crab. That took another 30+ min to come out, and it was again room temperature. The service at the bar was fine (4/5), but the kitchen service (1/5) is not something I want to experience again, especially not for the crawfish quality/size. Yes, the flavor was amazing, but I'm not fighting for a table for lukewarm food and 30 min wait time for each dish. The pricing was some of the lowest I've seen ($8.99/lb crawfish), but I'd rather pay $1 more at other places for the quality.

    I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!
