I always come here with my parents!! We love it. My usual is the Salmon Orleans with dirty rice and mashed potatoes. If you love fried pickles, you definitely need to try them here, as well! They have a little kick to them which makes them THAT much better! read more

Hearty shrimp PoBoy with a side of seasoned fries. Average fries, delicious sandwich, outstanding ambience. If you're a fan of N'awlins cooking stop by. Drive by Pappadeaux prices and get authentic canon and creole at reasonable prices! read more

It's always packed in here I don't get it. I do like their margaritas and the boudin balls are sooo good and so is the bread pudding, it has raisins but I pick it out. read more

This was my first time at this location, needless to say the food wasn't excellent - better yet wasn't worth the price but it was good. Side note: The fries are gross though. Anyway, I'm giving this location 3 stars mainly because of the bartender; she was polite, just took to long to get things done. It was a pretty nice casual Thursday night and her area was pretty full so I'll give her that. Not really anything more to add. I ordered the seafood platter! read more

First time here. It was good. Oysters were taste but we're in the fridge when I asked from them. Which I thought was strange. The gumbo I wasn't really liking it too much but my mother exclaimed it was delicious and just like when she went to Louisiana. The boudin balls were awesome crispy outside and goodness inside. Also came with fries that we finished. Lol The shrimp and crap cocktail was delicious. I would come back just for that. Flavor was all there along with their seasoned tortilla chips. Grill tilapia was also something i could have again. When you walk in you stand in line to place your order. And they give you a device which lights up when your food is ready and you pick it up on the front. Pretty nice place clean read more

Food was good.... I mean for the price.... it was decent.... I hate the way this place is set up.... I was not impressed by that aspect....I rather go eat some where and have a server come to the table.... each to their own.... drinks are pretty tasty.... read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time tonight & it was great! The portions were plentiful & the food was so good. Very comparable to Pappadeaux but the prices are better. The charbroiled oysters were so good, much like the ones we had in New Orleans. The fish was flaky & tender & the crawfish tails & friend shrimp were awesome! I'm super picky about cocktail sauce & tarter sauce & both were on point! We also ordered bar drinks and they had a good amount of liquor in them. We had the hurricane & blue voodoo & really enjoyed both of them. I'll def be going back. Thursday nights they have a shrimp special. 24 large butterflied shrimp for $17. Comes with dirty rice or fries. We'll def be going for that as the fried shrimp were great! read more

I went to enjoy some crawfish with my family. It took about 10 minutes to receive our food after we stood in line to order.While we was eating we discovered a bug (looks like a roach)inside our crawfish. The manager said that it's a bug because they're bottom feeders and they wasn't cleaned well is what she thinks. This was unacceptable. The manager offered to make a new order or other items on the menu. I declined and request a refund. read more

I literally just left Baton Rouge yesterday and I could not tell the difference in the food! This is a hidden gem in Katy. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! read more

I had 5lb of crawfish, with some potatoes and corn. The food was good. Service was obsolete. You get it yourself and then go sit down. It was okay if you are craving crawfish on a Wednesday and all the other places don't have any yet. The cost was 48.00 The guys bathroom was clean and the all caps sign with no punctuation was humorous. It was as if a 5th grader typed it. read more

Poor food & service, last 3 times My latest visit was an oyster po-boy takeout. Black pepper overwhelmed any flavor of oyster. I requested a substitution of coleslaw vs fries in my online order and confirmed the coleslaw substitution when I went inside to pick up my order. When I got home, there was NO coleslaw OR fries. A former comfort food Go-To was their crawfish pistolette which I have gotten as take out many times over years. Deep fried french bread topped with crawfish etouffee, so good. The last time the sauce was really bitter and I've never ordered it again. During crawfish season, I ordered crawfish for takeout. The crawfish tasted like chili (cumin flavored chili) which I wouldn't have minded if I knew they were doing fusion BUT this is a cajun restaurant, not a mexican restaurant, so if you are doing fusion, SAY you are doing fusion. Plus I paid extra for garlic butter sauce and guess what? I didn't get it. read more

Love, love, love the food... atmosphere and staff So welcoming! Good music and the Nola bomb -- babeyyyy (in my creole voice), is a must. You're missing out if you don't try at least once. Going back again, even following the drive from Spring there... worth it (to me)!!! read more

Every time I come here I leave filled up and happy with the service and food. I will continue to use this place for my seafood itches.

The food is good and the service is good too. I like the crawfish pistolettes and hush puppies. Next time I'm going for the char-grilled oysters. read more

This place does a real good job of catering and in restaurant dining. In the past they catered at my job and everyone wanted seconds and thirds and a take home plate! Inside the restaurant the staff takes care of you well. Their seafood hits the spot. Their happy hour does too. They have a nice selection of their own cocktails they put together as well as old favorites. I've also been here with friends and their families and can tell you the atmosphere is friendly to the girlfriends group or the family outing. I did taste their cheesecake and it was just what I needed after a long day. Their bathrooms are clean also and they keep the restaurant in fresh cleanliness. read more

I've enjoyed this place over the last few years. The gumbo is legit, shrimp po-boys are decent and the craw-fish pistolettes are a tasty appetizer. Consistently good food and pleasant staff and surroundings. read more

Had to write a review for this place!!! I ordered take out and got home to no hot sauce like I asked for.... I WAS PRETTY PISSED!!! But the food didn't even need any hot sauce!! The daiquiris are strong the food is fabulous and the corn bread and mashed potatoes were some of the best I've had. This place did not disappoint at all. Highly Recommend! read more

Wow! Just had a pretty authentic French Quarter oyster Po' Boy! Bread was real French Bread, Oysters were fresh, plump and Juicy. I knew I was in the right place when she asked me if you want it 'Dressed' if You Know, You Know' C'est Bonne! read more

been here two times in the last week. There's only 3 to 5 couples in there at a time. It's clean, foods great, and They have a person who brings the food to our table. One of our favorite casual seafood places read more

Food was great manager was rude. Basically we grabbed our orders from the pick up station. Came back to our seats then he rushed over accusing us of taking someone else order. No actually everything was or order just they out one item of someone else's on our tray. Then he said well "Thanks now I have to remake it" uh excuse me. That's not our fault your staff didn't place the food on correct trays. He didn't apologize, step up your customer service. I work in the industry as a manager that's not how you react to anyone when the mistake was yours. read more

I came here with my brother and his fiancé to check it out. Here's my summary of the place. Has a feel like Boudreaux - order and pick up your food. Fried okra: eh...the okra was ok- was looking for the crisp in the batter and it just wasn't there. No flavor to the batter either. Chargrilled oysters: didn't taste much of the char part. It was overpowering with the Parmesan on top. Seafood fondue: this was good, creamy and consistent with enough seafood and flavor Soft shell crab dinner: my husbands choice. He didn't care for it but I loved the crisp of the batter, lots of crab and great taste Costa Rican mahi: my dish...I was not pleased. The fish was tough, chewy and cold. Was not pleased with this dish. Staff was courteous- I don't know if I'll go back read more

Everyone and every dish is fantastic. Love the vibe great bartenders and bus guys funny everything is delicious. And the drinks are even better but can never go wrong eating here. read more

I enjoy most of the food here and prior to the pandemic we used to eat inside and enjoy the atmosphere. Their frozen drinks aren't amazing but they get the job done. You're better off getting a real top shelf cocktail or even a well drink. read more

Absolutely the BEST Cajun food around! My go to favorites are the boudin balls, crawfish etoufee, and seafood gumbo! My husband raves about the chicken fried chicken. Even their green beans and broccoli are amazing! Looking for yummy seafood with a Cajun flair, GO TO Orleans!!!! read more

I have attended this establishment multiple times but always through take out/delivery all I can say the food has always been superb and in a reasonable amount of time. Keep up the good work. read more

The food is scrumptiously delicious! I've been coming for years and have introduced many friends to Orleans Seafood Kitchen. So when I was having trouble with my rewards, I asked to talk with a manager. Chris Nelson took time to speak with me and fixed the problem with my rewards balance. Good food and great customer service. Orleans remains my favorite restaurant in Katy and Chris Nelson my favorite manager. Thanks. read more

Big on flavor-a good hearty meal. Order at the front and free seating. Self service. Started with a full plate of raw oysters. Large size and tasted fresh. Ordered the mahi and rainbow trout plate. Key tip- ask for the jalapeño cornbread instead of the garlic bread. Sooo good. They give you your money's worth of fish. The mahi was meaty and the sauce was perfect and creamy. The rainbow trout was a bit more on the salty side. The dirty rice was too salty. Ask for white rice and mix in some of the extra sauce on the fish for flavor. Warm and inviting ambiance. Superb service. Come hungry. read more

Pretty darn good, especially after years of not being here. Still as delicious as I remember it. This place is the reason why I became addicted to etouffe in the first place. Prices are pretty reasonable and the menu is large. The way this works... you order in line, they give you a buzzer, you find a table, and when the food is ready, they will buzz you to come get your food. Pretty simple! They have a bar, but not sure how the drinks are as I didn't order a drink. Honestly, I didn't even know they had a bar the very first time I went. I just saw it recently. It's in the back of the restaurant to the right (if anyone is curious) Overall - I'm sure to be back when I'm in Texas again. read more

Good service and tasty food, I definitely recommend it. The Mahi Magi plate is amazing and their broiled crab fingers so delicious. read more

Food was great and plentyful. Friendly staff good! Just what Katy needed. We'll be back for more.

I came here for the first time this evening and I thought it was amazing! I love the fact that you order at the front and then sit down wherever you want. The atmosphere was family friendly and fun, and the food was even better. I ordered the shrimp Po boy with a cup of the seafood gumbo. I have to say this was the best gumbo I've ever had. I really enjoyed everything. I will definitely be back!!! read more

My boyfriend and I ordered using doordash and were very excited due to a lot of good reviews online. We both ordered the Pasta St. Charles and soft drinks. We never got the soft drinks with the order and the food had a very fishy odor when we opened it. The food was still hot so we gave it a try and it tasted exactly like it smelled. Extremely fishy and foul. Not sure if we got a bad batch but definitely not risking that again. read more

If there's some of the few things I'll miss in the Katy area, one has got to be Orleans Seafood kitchen. If you're looking for the non-nonsense, I just want to eat some tasty Cajun dishes and not pay for the fancy service, then you've come to the right place. The Seafood Gumbo, the Fondue, the oyster Salad and the fried dishes are just some of my favorites. Quantity and Quality is definitely above par when it comes to how much you pay for it. I compare it to Pappadeaux (a local Cajun seafood hotspot with a higher price point) without all the service and fancy fish dishes). It's a must do if you've never visited this place and love basic Cajun entrees. read more

I can't believe I never gave this place a review before. We frequented Orleans weekly for years, we felt like family. The owners and staff always made us feel welcome and greeted us warmly. More than that, the owners treated us to sample dishes just to let us try a new item on the menu because we are creatures of habit and ordered the same thing every time. We would take the family on weekend and enjoy date night during the week here. I write this review with the sadness of knowing we can't visit as often as we used to, as we moved away last year. Sure, we can make a special drive, but the times we have mentioned how much we miss Orleans and the amazing food brought me to Yelp go check the reviews. This place deserves nothing less than 10 stars!!! And trust me, I am not the only one in our family who feels this way, from my in-laws to our friends to every one of my immediate family. We loved every dish we tried here, and eventually we tried many. They were always on point!! My favorite: the Seafood Fondue. Start here always. It's so rich and creamy with shrimp mushrooms crawfish etc, just yumm!! They serve it with buttery toasted and freshly made French Bread slices. Our second must-have dish is the fried oysters with dirty rice. They use thin breading and get it crispy without over-frying the oysters so that they are still tender and juicy inside. They serve it with the best dirty rice we have had in Houston/Katy. Everything is flavorful cooked to the right tenderness and served generously. Favorite dish #3 Crawfish Ettoufé, most excellent!! Orleans has the best roux period. It is rich and flavorful. Generous crawfish. Ditto on the best dirty rice. Favorite #4 - Blackened Redfish- Flaky, tasty, difficult to finish the generous portion. Favorite #5-(But worthy of #1 spot) Homemade Cheesecake. Made with Cream Cheese from New Orleans that was unbelievably creamy and just heavenly. Fave #6-Chocolate Cake. Our daughter never visited without having a slice of this cake. It is moist and spongy, you can taste fresh ingredients and no preservatives, uses real chocolate and cocoa! Honorable mentions: Pasta, they have delicious and creamy Alfredo as a base to their Cajun past and their Fettucine. This was our daughters preferred dish before cake. If you've been to New Orleans, you know they have the best Alfredo out there, Orleans managed to bring this to Houston. Fried shrimp and other fried foods. They don't use overly heavy batter on anything, and everything is fried crispy with batter that actually has flavor. You can't go wrong with fried catfish, you will see other patrons ordering this one! Bottom line, if you have not visited--do. Take sone friends. Go there for date night. Make sure Orleans stays in business so when we make the eventual trip out there we can enjoy another delicious meal. To the owners, thank you for the wonderful memories!! We really miss you guys! read more

This is a pure seafood joint. If you want a big platter of fried seafood and a cold beer, you can't go wrong here.

I have alway seen this place but never took the time to visit yesterday I was in the area and decided to visit my first impression was I though I was at Boudreaux the food was good small portions but good no grilled oysters due to the hurricane read more

I've had good experiences at times in the past at this restaurant. But I don't see myself coming here any longer. I came in today to pick up some wings and fries. That's it. The whole restaurant was basically empty. So how exactly did they manage to screw up my wings? They were completely undercooked and inedible. I had to chuck the whole box so there's $10 in the trash and an empty stomach. read more
