For appetizers, we tried their fried alligator and boudin balls, which were both flavorful and delicious. For my entree, I ordered the Pasta St Charles, which needed more creole flavor to it. I added copious amounts of Tabasco and black pepper to add more flavor to the pasta. I even added a bit of salt to bring out the pasta sauce flavor. I shared a crawfish étouffée with my sis, and this was much more flavorful. This reminded me a lot of Bourdreaux's crawfish étouffée, which I loved. So, definitely come here for their rice and fried dishes. If you want more flavor in your pasta, you can skip the pastas here.

I called the order in and she told me about the special on crawfish once I hit 5lbs. Buy 5 Get 1 Free. I love love love crawfish and this was my first time having them since I moved to Texas in August. The flavors were very unique so the foodie in me couldn't decide. There are so many places to try so I just decided to wing it. 2lbs - House Special 2lbs - Kitchen Special 2lbs - Thai Basil (I was scaredddddd and excited) I added an order of potatoes and eggs. All Hot. Got home and got them gloves on that s$%t was so HOT (temperature and spice) I had time to find a movie and pray for my tummy bcus I was finna grub even if it burned a hole in my mouth lol. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! They all have their own unique flavor. The House was reallyyyyyyy good. They were kinda sweet and spicy to me. The Kitchen had the kitchen sink in them. It was all kinds of veggies cooked into the crawfish. The flavor was all throughout so the heads were delicious. The THAI BASIL was the ONE it had a unique taste that you don't expect when eating crawfish but it tf WORKS. Let's get into these eggs. They were just past ramen eggs. Dipped in the sauce at the bottom of them bags (eye roll in foodgasm heaven). Can't wait to order again.

What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

Our waitress was fantastic--very attentive and friendly, which made a big difference. The food was tasty and, in my opinion, worth the higher price point.

The Carajillo is made perfectly, Oaxacan connection was good, did not enjoy the Mexican martini or margarita.

The scallops appetizer was perfectly flavored and cooked as well. Quickly became my favorite seafood restaurant!!!

My daughters and I chose Rouxpour for our annual Mothers Day event. We made a reservation and…read morearrived a bit early. We were quickly seated and greeted by our server Danny. Since it was Mother's Day, there were more tables than usual making the dining space tight and hard to maneuver for the guests and staff. Danny quickly took our drink orders and then our food orders. They had a special menu for Mother's Day, and still offered their full menu as well. We opted for the chargrilled oysters and deviled eggs with shrimp for appetizers, scallops, ettoufe , and asparagus with jumbo lump crab for entrees. All the food was still the excellent quality provided on many of my visits. Half way through the meal and prior to our entrees coming, a party of 8 arrived and I asked if we could move to a vacant table along the back windows to give the group more space and the staff graciously accommodated us and helped us move. Great service, excellent food and drinks.

I always go for their yummy house delight flavor it's so good and completely finger-licking. The miso sake mussels are also a must-try; the sauce is amazing.

We actually ate here right when they opened a coup le of years ago, and I couldn't remember why we…read morehaven't been back. 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'm not much of a seafood person, but my wife is. Thankfully they had a burger on the menu! Double smash burger and fries for me, Serafin's fish tacos for her. The burger was good, I liked the fact that the smashed patties weren't smashed too thin. So often all I get is meat crust, these had body as well. The burger and fries were great, but when I saw and tasted the fish tacos I immediately knew I'd be getting them next time. I only got a bite, but it was yummy with the sauce.

Then I had to stop the server from immediately running off once she dropped the check! Just rubbed me the wrong way.

We told her, 'Can you please ask the kitchen? We just want onions on the plate. It's not that difficult.' I've worked in restaurants for many years and it's ridiculous that they wouldn't put onions on a chicken dish. She finally went to ask because we insisted that she ask the manager, and the manager said no. We were so confused, like, what? You can't add onions? She didn't say they were out of onions or anything like that -- just NO Then my husband said, 'Let us speak to the manager.' The manager refused to come out and talk to us and said he was busy. But we could see through the curtain that he was just standing there doing nothing, and he instructed the waitress to say he was busy. He wouldn't even face us. He clearly doesn't care about customers or whether people come back or not. Very, very bad service. We left hungry, and it was a horrible, horrible experience. We will never return to that place. I do not recommend it !! They are very, very rude. They do not care about their customers at all. She didn't even greet us. No 'hello,' no 'welcome,' no 'can I get you something to drink?' She just said, 'What do you want to drink?' and that was it. Absolutely pathetic service."

He walked me through the menu & gave me some great tips. The oysters were fresh and the crab balls were crunchy and full of flaky crab & flavor, the dipping sauce was flavorful as well. I enjoyed it & took an order to go. The Martini wasn't a Martini but it was alright, it was a shaken vodka water mix with lime. Overall, this place has a homey familiar vibe, the vibe is pretty chill to hang out and have a good time, and the food is not too bad. I'll definitely return to try other items on the menu.

We visited Babin's Seafood House in Katy today as an alternative since Landry's Seafood House in Katy has closed, and unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing experiences we've had. We arrived around 3 PM on a Friday expecting to take advantage of the lunch menu and happy hour, which is normally offered at that time. However, we were told by the hostess that neither was available. What was frustrating was not just the policy itself, but the lack of clear explanation -- it was only vaguely mentioned that it was due to a holiday, with no real effort to clarify or accommodate. Service throughout the meal was very poor. Our waters were never refilled, and our server was largely inattentive. It felt like we were being overlooked rather than taken care of. The biggest issue came with the food. We specifically ordered seafood dishes due to the Lent season-- specifically it being Good Friday, only to find sausage included in the seafood jambalaya. When we brought this up, the response from the server --" i'm absolutely sure there's no sausage in your dish" and made it seem like we were the problem, rather than addressing the mistake. Nonetheless, the was sausage in the dish and a manager did come by and offered to replace the dish, but even that felt reluctant -- more like an inconvenience than an attempt to make things right. To make matters worse, what was supposed to be a casual lunch turned into an $96 bill for a family of four, without the quality of service or experience to justify it. This was especially disappointing because we've been coming here as a family for years and have generally had good experiences. As a Landry's Select Club member for over 10 years, this was easily one of the worst experiences we've had at any Landry's restaurant. Unfortunately, based on this visit, we do not see ourselves returning to this location anytime soon.
