Finally coming back around to post this review after eating here for dinner on Valentine's Day... to start, we shared our entrees and both had okay flavor but were quite heavy with oil and butter (the level that makes you feel gross after just a couple bites). We also didn't like the bread pudding. Later that evening my husband started to have a stomachache from the oiliness. About 24 hours later, we both were very sick, to the point that we went to urgent care where they administered an IV and some meds to my husband, and ultimately said it was food poisoning. We will not be returning here. read more

First time here and I was a bit confused as if I should sit myself or walk to the counter. No real direction. I walked to the counter and asked to be sitted at the bar. The restaurant is a decent size with a full bar. After being seated service was fast and productive. I ordered almost everything on the menu. Chicken and shrimp gumbo, fried alligator and tomatoes. I can say you get your money's worth here. Prices are fair. I will say the flavor is there for the gumbo but the roux doesn't give gumbo flavor to me. The fries alligator had great flavor. The tomatoes aren't the best I've had but still ok. read more

went for the first time when we walked in there was no clean tables we ended up having to clean our own table , second we ordered our food and when my husband went to get it, I noticed that my shrimp was burnt. I peeled off the burnt bacon from the shrimp, my rice was nasty like if it had been reheated a couple of times my husband's fried catfish was flavorless and dry. I will never go here again. It was absolutely disgusting.I had a salad also which was sour. I bit into a cucumber and almost threw up. It tasted spoiled. read more

Delicious! Five Star Can't wait to go back. We have gone as a group (six people) two times now and we plan to come back again. Staff is professional and courteous. Atmosphere is great. Customer vibe is happy and satisfied. I've never had better chicken fried chicken anywhere else. It was PERFECTION. I will order this again! The mashed potatoes, carrots, and broccoli were the perfect compliment. I was smart and also placed an order to go to try the shrimp gumbo. I will also order this again. The gumbo is EXCELLENT! Two people in our party ordered the catfish Poboy and the pecan crusted chicken salad. They said their food was superb and will order those items again. By the look of those two items they are now on my list of things to try there. Two thumbs up for the restrooms too. Besides your dine in experience, go ahead and place an order to go so you will have that next dinner, lunch, late night snack, or the comfort food we all need occasionally. That's exactly what I plan to do especially as we are moving deeper into the fall season. Off the bat, I can list six different things I personally want to try , and I'm looking forward to that in the very near future. Enjoy! read more

Shay at the bar makes great lemon drops, margaritas and we enjoy the Purple Voodoo. She's always attentive and makes good conversation. My family enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and boudin balls along with out drinks. read more

I like this place not bad at all! The food is pretty delicious and I recommend it to anybody that's in the area. I'll choose them over their next-door neighbors' Hooters any day. read more

It's been over 12 years since I last visited here so I returned for lunch earlier this week. There is plenty of parking available in this retail center. Inside it's a counter service restaurant that also features a separated full bar area. They use to have a shrimp Alfredo penne pasta dish on the menu that I liked but no more. I went with the Stuffed Fish entree for $16 and it took almost 15 minutes before the food came out. It consisted of baked fish that's stuffed with homemade boudin and topped with crawfish, spinach and mushrooms all covered in a cream sauce. It was actually very good tasting and filling. All of the ingredients came together for an enjoyable meal and I would order it again. I probably need to come back here more often. read more

The food was good my friend and I never been it was our first time !!! We started w boudin balls and fried green tomatoes yummy but u do get stuff yourself which is fine just didn't need to get yelled at when they dropped the food off they said YOU GET IT THERE NOT ME which like okay that's fine but with the way the staff was we took the food Togo and went to eat somewhere else . Food was good but atmosphere and the lady with blonde organgeish hair was rude as hell . Even asking how it worked she didn't say anything I just used common sense . But yeah good food RUDE employee I only dealt with the one older lady can't speak for the rest of staff . read more

This has been one of the worst food experiences ever... When we walked to the table we saw a family leaving with the table full of food and I told the kids I guess they didn't like it. We order Shrimp Po-Boys, Shrimp Lafayette, Stuffed Fish, Blacken Tilapia and fried green Tomatoes. The tomatoes were a mush in the inside almost like a green slime. The stuffed fish had a cream on it had curd. The shrimp pasta had a taste as if the shrimp were freezer burned. The Shrimp on the po-boy we're cold. The stuffed fish was returned for a po-boy and the shrimp on it was cold as well. We needed up leaving the food on the table as well. read more

This place has very tasty seafood with lots of options for non-spicy dishes. (I don't eat spicy food) The portions are reasonable and they give a military discount. I had the salmon with dirty rice and added some hush puppies and everything was quite delicious. I was with a group of friends and my spouse and everyone seemed to like their food. The sweet tea was OK but not too sweet. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer, but they bring the food to your table. I would definitely eat here again when we're in Houston. read more

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE My team stopped for a business lunch and interview a candidate. Truck was broken into and cashier was in and out of restaurant while we were eating hanging with some thugs in back. When we left she came back in and they left we discovered we were broken into.

We ran across a promotion from Boudreaux's about a Birthday Celebration, where the Seafood Platter was $9.99, and it convinced our family to go for sure! There used to be a location near Bunker Hill and I-10, and we were sad to see that they closed and was replaced by Chuy's, so this location is definitely the closest one to us. Boudreaux's offers good homestyle Southern cooking when it comes to cajun food and makes you feel like your in the South/New Orleans area. I do have to say, the ambiance and decor does make you feel like it's a Southern restaurant, which is a pretty good vibe. Staff were nice and friendly, the food was actually decent as well! I would've given it a 5, but I'm giving them a generous 4 because all of us had stomach issues/a "3" because we believed our stuffed shrimp from the Seafood platter was raw (definitely felt chewy when eating it...) We woudl come back again, but not for the stuffed shrimp, so if you're reading this, don't get it or you will risk yourself for getting food poisoning! read more

It was my first time to eat there and it was great the place was nice and inviting the staff was smiling and helpful clean tables seats I had the shrimp étouffée it was delicious nice sized portions then the restrooms were so clean and smelled nice wow so glad we ate there on my trip to Texas I highly recommend anyone to eat here and have wonderful meal you'll be glad you did read more

Came here for dinner while visiting Houston and needless to say the food was great. It was a Louisiana Cajun style food which was amazing. The catfish was under seasoned but the dirty rice with the crawfish etouffe was seasoned great and the taste was sure Cajun which made me glad that I have some left to take home. They give generous portions and the service was great. I received my food under 10 min and I will be back the next time I'm in Houston! read more

This place was OKAY. The food was mediocre, nothing special. My grilled shrimp was over seasoned and my fries were fried too hard. You could tell by the color and taste that the oil needed to be changed out. The service was good, no complaints about that! read more

Solid four stars. I really like how the manager is on the floor, greeting clients. Maybe he was the owner. It was nice to see a manager so engaged with his restaurant. You can tell he really takes pride in what he does and he makes sure everyone is taken care of. Wish I would have gotten his name. Food: cajun pasta was pretty good. The sausage tastes a little old and kind of hard lol. Like an old summer sausage hahah. It was good tho. The garlic bread with cheese was really good. The overall flavor of the pasta was good. The real winner here is the boudain balls. My god! Those things are super tasty. Got a nice little kick to them! *oddly enough you order at the counter and you pick up your own food yet they have a spot on the receipt for a tip. Maybe it's for the cook lol If I come back it will definitely be for the boudain balls. I will try a few more things on their menu and may bump them up to five stars. The prices are very fair too. read more

I've been to several Boudreaux's but the one on Hwy 290 is much cleaner and the food is MUCH BETTER! This is REAL Cajun food not just ingredients cooked together! No doubt we will be back to this restaurant even though it's farther from our home than the one in the Woodlands. read more

Horrible customer service and staffing absolutely horrible the food is not all that great

I had eaten at this Boudreaux's off and on, for a while. I don't enjoy it very much now that new management has taken over. They don't allow you to get alcoholic bevs to-go anymore. Worst of all, new management doesn't offer veteran's discounts anymore. It was only several weeks ago that I presented my drivers license and a photo of my Honorable Discharge certificate from the U.S. Navy and they gave me 10% off. Last weekend, Luis told me my credentials were no longer valid. He blamed it on New Management. You can't qualify for a military burial without that certificate. There wasn't better proof that could be provided. Any restaurant I've been to that offers vets discounts has honored those credentials. This Boudreaux's is the first that did not. It was a humiliating experience for me. Babin's, Landry's and Pappadeaux, across the freeway, honor my credentials as a veteran. I prefer to give my business to restaurants who honor my 12-year service and will do so from now on. read more

Took our out of town guests for a quick lunch at Boudreaux's and it didn't disappoint. From the Pecan crusted chicken atop a bed of lettuce dressed with spiced pecans, blue cheese, dried cranberries, mandarin oranges and Granny Smith apples to a grilled tilapia to a shrimp etouffee, our party was more than satisfied with the meal. read more

Just excellent! The order: The Orleans - Pecan crusted fish covered with spinach, mushrooms & shrimp. Side of mashed potatoes. The fish coated was seasoned so well & fish crispy. I was expecting to feel the crunch of the pecans but nope the breading was so smooth & perfect you would never know they were there. Such a delight! The potatoes were a little stiff but the gravy helped a little. Crab cake coated fish & side of fries - the fish was grilled perfectly, very tender & flakey covered with lemon butter & capers. The fish actually comes with a whole crab cake on top, nice touch, nice crab cake without a bunch of fillers, but a tad too much red pepper...anyway this dish was Also a delight! Fried fish, shrimp, red beans & rice - Seasoned perfectly, fried crisp. Beans tender, rice a little sticky again great seasoning. LAST BUT BY FAR THE BEST THING IN THE RESTAURANT!!! DRUM ROLL..... SWEET POTATO BREAD PUDDING!!! - A show stopper!!! Better than my grandmother's which I didn't know was possible but she didnt use sweet potatoes. It's covered in caramel sauce. The sweet potatoes are layer throughout and taste like a candied yam in the bread pudding which exudes cinnamon, nutmeg & rich cream. OMG, I want to go get another piece just thinking about it! BEST DESSERT IN TX. END OF STORY. read more

You order at the counter. Staff was friendly. Food was delicious and my husband said the hurricanes were stronger than he expected.

Not good! Seafood gumbo was watery with no seafood. Big chunks of celery. The boudin ball had no flavor, cold soaked in grease, soggy. This food made stomach turn. read more

Not all that , food was just ok. The cashier was nice. But that was about it. Not much to recommend

Came here for a birthday dinner, the service was great. We ordered a lot of food. Including boudain balls, fried pickles, and many entrees. I have to say some of the food was alittle underwhelming. I really enjoyed the fried pickles and the fish bienville. HoweveR the dirty rice that came with the fish bienville was very salty. The boudain balls were pretty good but did not have much flavor. Lastly, the gumbo, I love gumbo and this one was packed with lots of meat and vegetables but the flavor was not there, you could fix it up with alittle hot sauce though. I have heard a lot of good things about boudreauxs and I will say some of the menu items are really good but it seems like a hit or miss on some if their other items. read more

I don't know what has happened to Boudreaux's Willowbrook location but it was terrible. It used to be great with delicious and flavorable food with large portions. We took some friends there to dinner last night and it was embarrassing how bad it was. No flavor, small portions, poor service. The ladies working at the counter got basic order wrong and communication was difficult due to them not speaking English very well. Plus, I was clear about my shrimp allergy and it has never ever been a problem when I eat there. But there was an obvious cross contamination because I had an allergic reaction and almost had to go to the hospital. It was also really hot in there so I think the a/c was not working. I'm so disappointed because I used to love going there. I will have to find another place to buy my Thanksgiving fried turkey this year. read more

Missing order from a pickup where we created an account and paid online. They say they can not refund us but agree that the missing items are at the restaurant. Want me to drive to the biz tomorrow to get a refund instead of crediting my credit card on file!! Also fried gator has maybe 14 pieces for $14! Never again! Have given this place multiple chances to get orders correct but there is always something wrong. Sick of getting ripped off! DO NOT RECOMMEND!! SAVE YOUR MONEY! read more

Now let me say the food was good. However it was cold! I ordered two pc fish a shrimp, kids meal and a hurricane to go. My hotel was 2 minutes away and I made it there 5 minutes after my order was placed and it was ready. Yes way too fast. Now was it seasoned yes. Was the portions good, yes. However it was like Warm. I prefer hot fresh food. Not for that's been under the heater waiting for a order to be place. So I would I go back yes to that location, no. The place was decent I did t go for the ambience but for a meal while I was in town that was close to the hotel. Next time just make the food to order is my biggest complaint. read more

I'm shocked that this place would advertise as "Cajun". Very far from it. Gumbo taste like Campbell's soup. The shrimp was hardly cooked. They are using the wrong beans for the red beans & rice!! The boudin balls weren't flavorful. Bad experience. Horrible food. read more
