You order at the counter and find a seat and they bring it out to you. We ordered two entrees and an appetizer and they came out fast and at the same time! I would rather my appetizer come out a few minutes before. But food was good. I ordered the fried platter with catfish($2 up-charge), shrimp and stuffed shrimp. It was fried well. I really enjoyed the stuff shrimp. But the surprise for me were the fried pickles as an appetizer. They are made in house and were enjoyable. We also ordered the blackened fish(tilapia),shrimp and chicken. Both came with a side. Food was seasoned well. Atmosphere is more laid back than pappas and I appreciated that aspect. Would come back to try other dishes. Ordering two platters and an appetizer and a beer came up to about $57 without adding tip. read more

It's been quite a while since we've eaten at Boudreaux's. We remembered the great food and today was more of the same. My wife got a bowl of shrimp gumbo which she loved...it was slightly smaller than a #10 washtub...it was big. She also enjoyed some fried green tomatos which I helped her with, got a few spoons of her gumbo too. We sample everything. I enjoyed a cup of seafood gumbo and a 10 count fried butterflied shrimp platter. this also came wit' french fries dusted wit' Cajun seasonings. Both of us enjoyed a piece of skillet toast that came with our food. Did we order too much? Yes, but we made a valiant effort....we'd come back for more goodies. read more

I use to go to Boudreaux years ago. I decided to check it out again while I was in the area & the food seems to be better. The staff is still friendly. I was informed that they are now under new ownership & the Gulfgate location will reopen next week. read more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant and have tried many seafood dishes. All of them have been tasty and very satisfying: Shrimp and Grits, Pecan Orleans, Stuffed Fish and even their grilled chicken. All very good choices. read more

It was ok. We went for the Friday the 13th $13 dollar special for 3 proteins and a side. We upgraded to catfish for $2.70. The fish was good and cleaned well. We also got the stuffed shrimp and shrimp. The stuffing in the shrimp was seasoned well but the celery could be chopped a bit more. And its also ALOT of stuffing. More like a stuffed ball and a piece of shrimp. The shrimp was butterflied and it was good. The side of onion rings they could've kept. Just mediocre. You see the seasoning on it but you don't taste it. I also got a Margarita and wouldn't recommend it either. It was sweet with no alcohol. I guess thats what you expect for $3. Everything was a bit underwhelming. I don't need really need to come back. The service was great though. Qyinisha who took our order was pleasant and Lance our server was cool. The music was a bit of old school and nice for a Friday. We got there just before 6 and it was only a few people in there. It was still pretty light outside so they didn't have lights on. read more

This is a order at counter and seat yourself place. It was busy and around lunch time today. We ordered and it took just over 25 minutes to pick up our food! My family each had fried shrimp, with fries and a salad. And I had the child's shrimp grilled and mashed potatoes. My food was delicious they said their's was also. I forgot pics but no complaints her ! read more

Came here for The first time today. The customer service was excellent. The bathrooms were clean. The food.. not very flavorful. The portion sizes are pretty good though. But of course since it's just food... without flavor.. I couldn't finish my meal. A lot of sauce options were provided. I think the lack of seasoning is where the problem lies. read more

Atmosphere, food great tasting food. Didn't make purchase because I went there for my friend retirement party. I would definitely go back again. read more

I came in hungry! The place is nice and comfortable. They had nice old school music playing. When we walked to the counter we were greeted with southern style hospitality. Now I had the La Sampler. Hot , tasty, every bite was enjoyable. My Drink was a Margarita. It was just right for the moment. Last, was the Bread Pudding. Hot, sweet, good to the last drop! It's seafood, so... see the food, come eat! read more

Food is OK, but the portions don't match the price at all. These "plates" cost like $12 a piece. For $12 I can get a whole meal and a drink from Chick Fil A. hell, I could get like 2 craving boxes from Taco Bell. My local chinese place would never do me like this. This is crazy! read more

I just love being asked to tip the cashier for asking me what buttons to push. Then getting home to find out she hasn't even checked to see if my order is complete. Well, it wasn't and somehow I knew it wouldn't so I didn't. I guess I'm not the only disgruntled former patron, at 12:30, lunchtime a total of 6 people were eating there. What I don't get is, the fried green tomatoes are served with a roumelade, so if you don't put it in the container something should not look right. If you in the kitchen or you the cashier are going to eat that item wouldn't you ask where the dip is? Strange thing is I'm pretty sure the guy acting like the manager looked into my bag before handing it to me so so only are the employees poorly trained it seems the management lacks detail performance. read more

The food was real good I had the fish bienville everything was seasoned perfectly the sauce on the fish was a tad bit strong for me other than that perfecto. The service was A1 the cashier at the counter was very personable and the waiter was very hands on and very helpful. The ambiance was cool I loved the music it was a whole vibe to me I would definitely return to try something else on the menu. read more

Boudreaux staff is very hospitable and caring to their customers. Especially Alyssa from the bar she saw that I was tired and asked me about my day. We had a conversation about my job and schooling and she wished me luck. She truly cared about what I was talking about! Thank you for caring Alyssa! read more

I was so disappointed! All the entrees were so bad. I had the grilled platter, the fish was so salty I couldn't eat it. The crab cake was the thinnest crab cake I've ever seen in my life and also salty. There were literally only 3 shrimp in the platter. My husband had the stuffed fish, it was so poorly presented. He didn't even bother to eat it. He also had the seafood gumbo which he said was definitely not gumbo but it was probably the only thing we got that wasn't completely horrible. The kids chicken tenders were so flimsy and dried out. I was so excited to try this place because of how good the food looked in the pictures. I was extremely disappointed. read more

The restaurant was nearly empty & extremely cold. We sat at a table large enough for our large party, the food was immediately cold, due to the fact the duct was blowing right on our table. I hadn't been to this location in years. I ordered the fish bienville, it was flavorful & the portion size was good. I definitely would not recommend this establishment, the staff was nice, but the appearance & lack luster bar are beyond ridiculous. read more

Food- The plating was nice and pretty. My salmon was a touch dry but that isn't reason enough to give 'em 4 stars. Some people prefer it but I still ate it all, well seasoned. The rice and vegetables were delicious! Delicious! Unlimited refills on the drinks Is always a plus! Took about 10 mins after we ordered to get our food during slow time. If you've ever been to fish city grill the plating and taste are very similar. Service- we dropped in at 4 pm when the 610 traffic wasn't good energy. There were 2 tables when we arrived. The young lady at the counter was sweet and patient as we debated what to get. (HBD to her btw) Ambiance- There are tvs scattered about and a sectioned bar area off to the left side of the counter. Restrooms were clean and stocked. There are video games to play if you wanted towards the right. read more

Rude staff , very unprofessional. Tried to call and place an order and placed on hold. They never came back to the phone. You need to screen your staff and hire people with good customer service read more

Quality has diminished here.... This would always be my go to for good shrimp. I honestly hadn't had it in several years and decided to get some fried shrimp & crawfish to go. To start, I was told my to-go order would be ready in 20 mins and it was not. Sauce was spilled all over my food that was supposed to be in a secure container on the side. Not too mention, the shrimp and crawfish were over cooked and bland. Guess it's just Pappas and Pappadeaux for me ya'll. I spent $50 and ended up throwing it in the trash. I'm assuming this is more of a happy hour spot these days, because the bar was hopping. So if your looking for drink come on in, but for food... head up the street. read more

Went there solely for fried oysters and they did not have them on the menu at all. Settled for the seafood platter which was good but was disappointed that they advertised oysters on here but don't have at the restaurant. The fried green tomatoes did not come as shown either but they were good. The food was good and the staff was very sweet, read more

I was in town for work and I wanted a nice dinner after a long day. This restaurant was close to my hotel so I figured it was worth a try. The staff was friendly and helped me make some selections from the menu. The restaurant atmosphere was nice, with some decent music playing. I took my to go order back to my hotel, it looked delicious but lacked adequate flavor. I had to add my own seasonings. This restaurant did not have great reviews, but I tried anyway and I was disappointed. read more

I visited this place for dinner and ordered my food and waited an hour and went back to the counter. After waiting in line again just to find out they could not find my food. Meanwhile, I've been sitting at a table watching people that came in 30 minutes after me eating dinner. Still had to pay for everything and left without any food. read more

Downgrading my review. So disappointed as I been coming for years. My last visit was probably spring of 2020 The quality has tanked. Besides my chicken all the food was "warm" at best. My bread I die for hardly even hot and didn't taste fresh or moist. Just very dry as if it's been sitting the whole day. The red beans and rice another site for sore eyes. Didn't even look appetIzing ... as if it got scraped from the bottom of the bowl and dropped in a bowl. So gross. Soda fountain was out of syrup for my drink. Ice tea tasted like shit. Forced myself to drink water. Man this place has gone downhill. Not the Boudreaux I remember it being. Wil never be coming back. read more

Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen - Chicken Fried Chicken - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decided to come here on the way to a movie nearby. We ordered a bowl of the seafood gumbo, the Orleans fish platter, a side of boudin balls, hush puppies and fries, and a $5 hurricane. We didn't realize how much food we had ordered! Everything came out fairly quickly. The staff was very friendly. Only cons were that the hurricane was average and I thought the gumbo would've had some rice at the bottom. I also added Tabasco to it for more flavor. In summary, this place is nice for a Cajun fix based on value! read more

Terrible experience placed an online order and this is what I got. No gravy, no mash, and no toast. I called and was told they didn't put that on the box and they had plenty of mash. So I drove to the location to ask for my order to be corrected and the manager mike told me there was nothing he could do outside of me paying for a complete new order. Not the customer service I once loved from Boudreaux's! read more

The menu has definitely scaled down due to COVID-19. However the flavor has not! The cashier was super helpful and friendly. The french fries were saltier than I like it, and the ketchup had more of a vinegar taste to it. The boudin balls and gumbo (wish I had extra rice with it) were perfect. Definitely prefer this place than BB's. read more
