Gave this spot a try on the weekend around 2 pm. There was only one other table in the whole restaurant. Because it was very dead there was only one server in the whole restaurant. He was attentive but very minimal. I got the oysters david for my appetizer, which was very mid. Basically, oysters and cheese baked with no extra flavor. For entree, I ordered the surf and turf because I needed some red meat. Meat came out very rare when I asked for medium rare. The tart lemon wine cream sauce was okay, but not the best. The mashed potatoes, however, was the best out of the meal. Warning about this restaurant: they charge you an additional 8% food tax on top of regular taxes. This is a huge red flag! read more

Met relatives at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen on the outskirts of San Antonio. One of three locations, the decor is a wide open space with a non-discrip theme. It reminded me of a previous space that now houses a restaurant. It was fairly busy on a Thursday night, reservations were suggested. Our service started with the grilled oysters, spinach, bacon, cheese and seasoning. They were good but not great. The blackened grilled trout with dirty rice was one of the entrees. It was flavorful and a very good dish. The grilled red fish with crab meat, grilled shrimp, tomato, garlic, serrano peppers, and creamy buttery sauce over dirty rice was our other entree. It was tasty, not over-salty, and quite tender. The dirty rice was good but not great. The food at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen was good but not memorable. I was not sorry we tried them but also don't feel drawn to return. The decor and setup of the restaurant felt like a temporary pop up with no individuality as to who they are. There was nothing unique about the entire evening. I would hope you would give Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen and chance and make up your own mind. read more

I've been to Bourbon Street in New Orleans many times. So when I see a restaurant called Bourbon Street it conjures up some wonderful memories. unfortunately the name is the only thing the two Bourbon Streets have in common. There's just not a lot here that reminds me of the Crescent City. The food is okay, I had the fried shrimp. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really memorable either. My oldest daughter had the fried catfish. She gave me some to try but I didn't care for it. The meat was mushy, not flaky. My youngest daughter had the Diablo Pasta which I think she enjoyed. My son in law had the redfish and I think he enjoyed that also. I will tell you the portions they serve are huge and easily shared. Our server was very attentive and polite. As far as ambiance, I was really surprised they didn't lean more into the New Orleans theme after all, it's in the name. read more

They hand you a big menu and a smaller one-sheet that you'll mistake for Lunch Specials. They are NOT DISCOUNTED lunch specials; they are just "featured" FULL-PRICE market value items *without* the benefit of a label reflecting "market value" that would have made me ask about the price. Hey managers--be more transparent with your menu! Until then, when your customer calls to inquire why their lunch special was full price, don't defend your shady ways. So mad! Never going back. read more

This is always a go to place for my husband and I that is only a couple of miles from our neighborhood and it always offers good food. The Mississippi catfish is simply delicious as is the bread and pesto oil appetizer that's brought out to each table. My husband had the jambalaya, as he usually does, and was very satisfied with it. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and outgoing and the ambiance was spot on, too. We ordered ice tea and it was pretty good with prompt refills as needed. We never need a reservation and always get seated promptly. read more

AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF GREAT RESTAURANTS, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON SUBSTANDARD (AND ESPECIALLY AWFUL) ONES. SERVICE: 0/5 MANAGEMENT: 0/5 FOOD: 2/5 First of all, I rarely write bad reviews. Most of my reviews on Yelp are 4 and 5 stars. Second, I have never been treated more poorly at any restaurant as I and my family were treated today. Particularly by the bartender (CRYSTAL). We arrived around 4:45PM on a Thursday (9/4/2025) as a party of 7. My wife's parents were treating us to dinner FOR MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY. We had our three kids (7 yo boy, 4 yo girl, and almost 2 yo girl). Arriving early we decided to take advantage of their happy hour. We ordered 5 drinks and 3 happy hour appetizers (NOTE: you must purchase 1 alcoholic beverage for each happy hour appetizer). We ordered 1 calamari and 1 catfish nuggets in our first round and a second calamari later on. NOTE: The calamari was good, the catfish was only okay. The bartender (her name is Crystal) was unwelcoming from the moment we walked in. She gave my father-in-law a hard time for trying to clarify what the happy hour "well drink" was and was generally unfriendly. My kids were reasonably behaved, but excited to be around their grandparents and at a restaurant. They were not being disrespectful or disruptive. There were two other couples in the bar area and one other single patron. When our second order of calamari arrived, the bartender (Crystal) brought it to a small table that my father-in-law and I were chatting at. Before she sat it down we asked that she deliver it to the next table over for the kids. She responded to us with "You need to be more specific next time" which caught me by surprise. At this point, we were getting hungry for our dinner meals. My wife asked if we could move our party into the main dining area (as we had discussed with front of house when we entered). NOTE: There was literally one single party seated in the restaurant outside of the bar at about 6PM. Our bartender (Crystal) informed us that we were not allowed to take the happy hour appetizer out of the bar area. OK. FINE. I asked the family to come back to the bar area to eat the calamari before we got seated for the main meal. My father in law asked the bartender (Crystal) to speak to the manager. He has some trouble hearing and was attempting to communicate and the bartender (Crystal) raised her voice and said "Get out of my face" which surprised us all. A bit of commotion ensued as a result of this outburst. At this point we made the decision to leave. The manager (unfortunately, I did not get his name) did come to speak to us and he indicated that the policy of their restaurant was to allow happy hour DRINKS to leave the bar area, but not happy hour FOOD. A restaurant has the right to establish and enforce any policy they would like (regardless of how asinine it may be). He identified that he had apologized to my father-in-law and that we could take the calamari to our table if we wished to do so; however, this silly policy was no longer the issue. We began gathering our things as my father-in-law closed out our tab. I have no idea what prompted it, but while we were preparing to leave, the bartender (Crystal) said loudly "This is a bar, don't bring your kids here" (which, if you have ever been to this location, the "bar" is not even separated from the main dining area by a wall...it's just the front part of the restaurant). Upon walking out the door, I heard the bartender (Crystal) say "...leave and never come back" (I did not hear the first part of the sentence) Again, there are a ton of great (and less expensive) restaurants in San Antonio. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. CHOOSE WISELY. P.S. Crystal, don't worry, we fully intend to. read more

We love this place. It has plenty of space so even if it busy, one still have a quiet dinner and carry out conversation. The food is awesome and phenomenal service. I'd say, when in doubt, visit Bourbon Street, and you might become regular. read more

Great New Orleans/Cajun restaurant. Love their etouffee and jambalaya. The service is top notch, with attentive, professional servers who along with the upscale decorations make the experience feel elevated and ritzy. Usually nice and quiet too, to facilitate conversation. Highly recommend. Deserves more love. read more

Happy hour drinks and appetizers are great! Love the calamari and their house Merlot.

The location on 1604 and Redland Road is a true hidden gem. the atmosphere is calm, the service impeccable and the food is delicious with a great variety!!! it's our favorite place to meet friends and have our own special celebrations. The staff are SO kind! read more

This restaurant did not measure up to my expectations. I ordered the seafood gumbo. It was a bowl full of celery and green peppers. It was taken off my bill. The Mississippi Catfish was good. My mom ordered the ettoufee and it was a large plate of dirty rice. I guess the cost of shrimp and crawfish is impacting the portions. Our server was Nathan and he was just okay. I am from Houston, Texas and we take our creole/cajun cuisine seriously. This establishment should not use the name Bourbon Street. That name is misleading and disrespectful to the great city of New Orleans. The best chefs in the world are from the NOLA. Would not recommend this establishment! read more

Let's start with the positives, the food was good I had the shrimp and lump. It was good food but for the price I would have rather gone to New Orleans. The bread was horrible it tasted like cheap knockoff bread trying to pass as fancy. The waiter was straight up weird like no emotions and very monotone. He made me feel like I was disrupting his day. Now I feel this place was giving vampire. Like I felt like I was in an episode of the originals. The place was very dark and now great lighting for people with hard vision. Overall it was mid and not a place I'll be returning to I'm not counting out that the staff is 100% vampires I mean come on it's a New Orleans place it makes sense! read more

Location: The restaurant is located off the 1604 in a small shopping center. Service: The service is amazing! The staff are very friendly, attentive and refill waters often. Food: They have an amazing seafood selection from fried, blackened, grilled, fish stuffed with crab, pastas, etc. We had an appetizer with crabmeat and cheese on top of the oyster. It was delicious! My husband and I agreed that we want to try a new seafood dish every Friday during lent. Cost: It is pricey! Expect to pay around $15 for an appetizer and $21-28 for your main entree. The portions are big so I didn't mind the cost. There is a kid's menu that cost around $7.99. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner. We love the fine dining atmosphere and the attentive waiters. The food was amazing as well. We will definitely be back again! read more

Our @alphachiomegahq Alumni Chapter had our early holiday dinner tonight @bourbonstreetseafood on 1604 and Redland. They were running short staffed with Faraz as the bartender and our server. Dad had Lemonade. Since Dad likes clam chowder, I thought to have him try the Louisiana version, and he liked it. I had a few bites, and it was smoky with bacon. I had a side salad with Ranch. Dad and I shared the Mahi Mahi New Orleans, which had some crab meat and crawfish with white wine lemon sauce. Pictured is the half portion since Faraz had them nicely split the servings. It was a nice gathering, and some brought items to donate to The Battered Women's Shelter. read more

They do not honor reservations. I had made Valentine's Day reservations for 7pm almost a month in advance. We showed up 5 minutes early and were told they confirmed the reservation but could not honor it since they were busy and put us over an hour wait. Every place we called to get a table was then not taking any other customers because they were booked for the evening. So our valentines dinner was ruined. Thank you bourbon street staff! Never again. Wild. Have some honor. read more

Service was very good. The waiter was attentive and very polite. I ordered the salmon on a cedar plank with mashed potatoes instead of dirty rice because the dirty rice has chicken intestines and pork in it (according to the waiter) - a turn off for me personally. The mashed potatoes were pretty good however the salmon was very unseasoned, even after putting pepper on it myself, I still had to ask for sauce and the sauces they gave me were the lemon butter and orange looking sauce were very underwhelming. The asparagus on the salmon was overcooked and also unseasoned. I couldn't even taste salt, which I don't even usually look for. The ambience was very nice for a date. read more

Oh, gosh, I had already tasted this when I remembered to grab a photo. This Bourbon Street (Redland Rd/1604) catfish was probably the best I've ever eaten! It comes with rice, but I got the sauteed spinach for a small upcharge. Hubby got the appetizer Bourbon St shrimp with dirty rice. We shared a small Caesar salad. For desert we finished off with a Creme Brulé each topped with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. We always get a great meal here. The naked fish options are my personal favorite because you can get them blackened or grilled. I was just in the mood for catfish this time. Not the cheapest meal in the neighborhood, but for special occasions, we end up going here a lot. read more

Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen - Fried catfish and sauteed spinach - Cajun/Creole Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tried for the first time. This place is high dollar so expect to spend money. Service was good. Got the Bourbon Tenderloin, ordered it medium, came out well. No pink at all and flavorless. Got the sauce on the side because well, a good steak doesn't need sauce. The sauce was ok but did not blow me away. Wife ordered grilled tilapia well done, came out no where near well done but she ate it. Rice was good and butter sauce was creamy and good. Daughter got the scampi, she's picky but she ate it so it was good as far as I can tell. Father in law got blackened Mississippi catfish and shrimp. This was the only plate that really tasted as good as it looked. Over all, too pricey for mediocre food. We love the intimate quiet ambiance of the place. Ordered an old fashioned with Makers Mark. It lacked the old fashioned flavor with cherry and bitters you'd expect so the drinks were also over priced and mediocre. Probably won't be back, ever. Just was not impressed and for these prices, I expect to be impressed. read more

Review is for the North Stone Oak location. Came here with a party of 3 for a business lunch on a Thursday at noon-thirty. It was pretty quiet, maybe 15 tables seated. There's a sign near the door/bathrooms that the dress code is enforced and we were scratching our heads on that one - what IS the dress code? Have on a shirt and shoes? We were seated immediately, drinks were on the table by the time I got back from the bathroom, and orders were up within 10 minutes. We were in and out within 45 minutes. Great job with lunch service. We ordered off the lunch menu - one person had salmon and two of us had the cajun combo (blackened catfish with shrimp étouffée). Very reasonable prices. The cajun combo was a weird plate - two proteins with two different rices (dirty with the catfish, white with the étouffée) and no vegetables. I would have liked a better balanced option. Catfish looked ate a lot more like a tilapia filet than a catfish filet; none of that muddy flavor and toothy texture I look for in catfish. The whole plate had about 2 grams of salt. I ate the protein and left most of the rice on the plate because it was so salty and there was so much of it. There were probably close to 2,000 calories on the plate, mostly in rice. The salmon dish my colleague ate did not come with rice, it was served over some julienned squash and looked a lot better balanced. If I come here again I will not order something with rice, I'll make sure it's a protein/vegetable plate and ask for no added salt. My "issues" with this place are my personal preference, not anything wrong with the business. It's good and I'll come back but will order differently. read more

We have been eating here perhaps once a year for years and have never had less than fine meals. No exception tonight. This night our party of six started with the alligator and calamari which were as good as expected. My Red Fish Diablo with two grilled shrimp, crab and butter sauce with a side of dirty rice was excellent and a very large portion for $37. Finished with Créme Brûlée. My party voiced approval with their bar drinks. The service was prompt, efficient and pleasant. I look forward to our next meat at Bourbon Street Seafood Kitchen and recommend it for a fine, table cloth sit down meal for those looking for cajon seafood. read more

Loved the ambiance. They had a saxophone player which was so relaxing. Food was delicious. Portions were huge. I had the shrimp bisque and the Trout Lorraine. They were both amazing. Service was good and they accommodated me with I asked for a table in the back where it was less noise. Will definitely go back. read more

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise. We ended up doing our office lunch there. I have never been there before, but the atmosphere was nice and the staff was friendly. I had the Mississippi catfish, and it was delicious and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was not overly crowded or loud for it being lunch time on a Friday. It is a little out of the way for me, but I can see myself visiting again if I want tasty seafood. read more

The first time I came here, the ambiance was underwhelming. I'm not sure if they were trying to take you back in time to the way New Orleans restaurants were, but I would not come here for an elegant evening or anything outside of quick lunch or dinner with coworkers. Dark wood and brown/cream wallpaper everywhere. The food was pretty decent. The sauce was flavorful but the shrimp was obviously not seasoned (not surprised). The service was average nothing out of the ordinary. This is a decent spot if interested food outside of fast food. The prices overall were price appropriately. Lunch for two can run you under $40. read more

First things first Alex is the best bartender.I Came in this place at 7 pm and didn't get my food till almost closing I came in as a party of 2and a party of 9 after me I order my food 10 minutes after drinks and waters came out but only received my appetizer I ordered my food along with it ... the party of 9 came in 40 minutes after me and ordered later way after my table and they got served before me my meal was not that complex very light and small. While I'm waiting the party of 9 was served before my party. Mind you I've been waiting for 2 hours the manager then kept raising the price on dishes that I wanted like why would the dish be priced one way and not the same on the menu I noticed that we weren't being served properly and the manager was looking at my wife like she didn't belong I'm a white man and my wife's black and we were the only table not served properly I had to say something and they proceeded to disregard our request I wouldn't come here if I was anyone of color alex is the only server that made sure we were taken care of but the manager was the one that made it near impossible to stay wouldn't waste time and the food is nasty no flavor what so ever very watery the place also looked like it tried to be high class very low class read more

We had a nice spur of the moment dinner here tonight. The service and staff were good and everything was taken care of in a timely manner. I ordered crab cakes, which I won't be ordering again. They weren't bad, I just prefer a crispier, thicker crab cake. I also ordered escargot, which was delicious with the oil they serve. The calamari and jambalaya were wonderful, and my in-laws had their "go to" which was the fried platter, which looked great with the shoestring fries. I also loved the bread and oil that was served. The bar area looked very appealing, so next time we go out without our son, we'll definitely sit at the bar. Thank you! read more

Unclean shrimp, bland flavor. Service was excellent. The environment was boring. Mostly greasy. Pasta sauce was like water.

We love this place! Very nice ambiance! The food is always fresh and delicious! The portions are generous. We order the Red fish special and sub the rice with mashed potatoes. It's delicious! Their shrimp brochette is one of the best we've ever had! The bread and pesto oil is amazing! We know the staff by name and they are always very friendly! Highly recommended! read more

Stopped in here for a catfish lunch and was pleased for sure. We started with the chicken and sausage gumbo. It was decently flavorful with a lot of heartiness and not just rice. I got the blackened catfish with redbeans and rice. Catfish was really good but the redbeans could've used a little flavor. My wife got the jambalaya and it was good and filling. They bring enough for 3 meals. Service was outstanding. read more

The night was supposed to be celebratory but we were greeted with a very stoic and cold server. He didn't seem like he was in a good mood. He never once smiled or tried to be warm and friendly. Then as he was taking food orders I was indecisive about what I wanted and he made a rude comment that I could never be pleased. He definitely didn't try to recommend one plate over the other. Then he criticized me for looking at the lunch menu by accident when I was looking for the fried seafood. Food quality was sub par. Boudin was tasteless and falling apart, the chicken picatta had very little flavor, ponchatrain was ok but the sauce was bland, Overall the food was not worth the price at all. The ambiance was nice but I should have known it was going to be just ok when the place was empty at 7pm. After the meal was over, I handed him my plate and he complained that I 'slimed' him. I guess he might have gotten some sauce on his finger or hand but nothing noticeable; he continued to bring it up by asking others not to slime him as I had, not even cracking a smile or a chuckle. Just negative energy. Finally the check came and already included a 20% gratuity of 58 dollars and he rudely said, "you don't have to put anything on the gratuity line ". Yet the tip was already included. I had dry and bad service for an almost 60 dollar tip. I'm never spending my money there again and neither should anyone else. read more

The food was excellent. So many choices it was so hard to make up my mind. Two of my favorite dishes were made there and were top notch. The waiter was excellent and had a great smile.

So having been to Louisiana multiple times and having frequently visited many of the authentic restaurants on Bourbon street... This restaurant only nailed one thing and that is the Decor. Food looks authentic until you put it in your mouth. I had the blackened snapper which was so dry and bland. My wife ordered the oysters which looked disgusting were sent back. My wife's fried shrimp looked good but again no flavor in the batter or the meat. The service was bad, our server didn't even want to speak much less answer questions. We told them it wasn't good, and we didn't want to take anything home. I would seriously only recommend this restaurant if you want to feel like you're eating real Cajun food without the taste. This place wouldn't be allowed to exist in Louisiana read more

My first time at this place and it will definitely be my last. Arrived about 6:30 and they were not very busy. That should have been my first clue. After being ignored by the front desk, i eventually got seated. After sitting around for 15-20 minutes waiting for a server to greet me, i finally just left. Two other tables wete seated, served drinks and appetizers, all while i was being ignored. If their food is only one-tenth as bad as their service, it would be totally ineditable. read more
