Came to St Louis on business and had to mix in a little pleasure. Never would have thought our…read morefirst night's meal would have been some Cajun Creole food in St Louis style BBQ Country We were so pleased with our decision as their food rivaled anything in New Orleans. As an avid oyster lover, never would have guessed we would have the option for charred grilled oysters in Missouri. We demolished those in minutes and quickly moved on to our entree I ordered the jambalaya and the size the spices we're so flavorful. The shrimp was on point and the chicken almost tasted like seafood plus the andouille sausage was spicy without being too hot. They nailed the texture and firmness of the rice and highly recommend My wife went with the sampler platter and it was hard to tell between the etouffee, red beans and rice, gumbo, or jambalaya which was the best. I know tough decision to choose from but that was a slam dunk that we highly recommend! Walking throughout the establishment you could tell it totally had that Voodoo deep New Orleans vibe going on that makes you feel like it belongs in the French Quarters If you're ever in the Lou and in the mood for some good Creole Cajun food, this is the spot!

Everything. It's a local institution. Looks like a dive bar but is a must go to spot. The staff is…read morefriendly and ready to dispense their thoughts on the menu. There are multiple options as far as seating. Each one is different from the next. The oysters are a must, take your pick how you want to try them but I would recommend the Oysters NOLA and the Voodoo Po'boy. The Sazerac is on the sweet side but don't let that dissuade you. Worth it. 100%.

We didn't know what to expect when we stopped in for lunch. The restaurant was appealing and we…read morewere seated right away. The menu was different. There were many options for putting together a seafood boil. We were wanting something more simple for this meal, so we decided to get the baskets. I had the oyster basket with sweet potato fries and my friend had the shrimp basket. Both were very good and there was loads of food. We each had a delicious margarita. We will be back sometime to try one of the seafood boils.

It was very easy to choice our boil, you can order by the 1/2 lb and full lb, or you can choose between their preselected boil which comes in a large or small! We went for the small boil, but next time will pick our own now that we know which were our fav! I loved the crab legs and my sister said the shrimp were the best she'd tried. Definitely recommend doing the sauce where it's all 3 mixed! It was very cute and what you would expect from a seafood place, parking is plentiful, booths were comfortable.

The restaurant has been remodeled, basically turning it into a Fast food type of restaurant. They no longer have waitresses/servers. And you have to find your own tables. It seems as if the entrées have gotten a little smaller, yet the prices have remained the same. I'm just saddened by the recent changes to the restaurant.

Crazy place. Not really my jam, cuz it's very hard to eat healthy here. But it's super tasty and a…read morebit iconic. I've been coming here since I was a teenager. The rolls and butter are incredible. And I like their monster sandwiches. Haven't been in a while, but service was great and it was pretty empty (tho we were there at 11am or so, before lunch rush). Definitely worth checking out, when you want to get your comfort food on. Just wish they had more healthy options. Try the chicken and waffles.

Even the bathroom is easy to find and not gross like a lot of restaurants. The menu has a bunch of options, whether you want to build your own boil or go with one of their combos. It's a good spot to hit with friends or a date even. I got the non spicy sauces and seasonings and it was still packed with flavor. The seafood tasted fresh and they gave me a ton, definitely worth what you pay. The staff was really nice and checked in a few times to make sure we were good. I'd for sure come back again.

This is a call out to all locals to support places like BB's because they are getting much harder to find. Firstly, the staff went above and beyond. We were there during a Cards game, and the bartender,David, actually came out and found a place for us to park. Who does that today?? Then we got a chance to meet the chef, Samantha. She's from New Orleans and brings a NOLA menu that's as good....if not better, then anything we've had in the Quarter. Then, it was fun trading music stories with the owner, John. Overall, the best brunch we've been to in a long time!! Now.... let's talk food: - The pulled pork tamales are the best I've ever had. The pork was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. then it was covered with great chili, two over medium eggs, 1/2 sliced avocado, and chopped onions. I was in heaven. The biscuits/gravy was good, but the sample of their red beans and a sample of gumbo.... was better then I've ever had....anywhere! And then their was the beignets. Again...better then Cafe Dumonds! I know I'll get beat up on that claim, but, it's how we felt! Thanks to BB's for making our trip to St Louis a great one!!

I consistently get their fish platter and it is consistently good! The batter the cod pieces are breaded in is seasoned well and adds the best flavor.

Their prices are fair in regards to quality and quantity!
