    So we were wanting crawfish and this wasn't the first place we went to but ended up coming here cause the wait was too long at the other place and I'm here to say, I'm happy we ended up here! Nikki was our server and she was giving it her best to keep up with our needs. There were times we had to ask about certain things but in the end we got what we needed. If you are ordering crawfish, make sure you ask if they are fresh live or frozen. Nikki said we were getting fresh however as I made my way through the bag, I could tell some were frozen as they were a little on the mushy side (where the struggle to get them out the shell wasn't worth the fight). We got steamed oysters with the juicy sauce and I honestly could have made a meal out of this as we also got raw oysters and I preferred the steamed ones. The raw oysters were a little gritty for me, it didn't come with horse radish or cocktail sauce or crackers. But while we are here, let's talk about the juicy sauce . . . Just get it!! You will want to dip EVERYTHING in it. A friend got the fried fish, tried it, delicious. Another friend got the crab and shrimp, I don't think she said a word the whole time as she was busy eating. Another friend got the scallops and mussels and she was pleased with her meal. Seriously, this was a great alternative to where we planned on going to and we all left full. As I said, there were a few hiccups (a meal ordered but not delivered, having to ask for things more than once, etc) but it's not enough to where I wouldn't come back again and get everything juicy style.

    Food and service was great! Andres our server was very great and understanding due to my dad's health issues very kind and helpful with the menu will definitely be coming back again!

    The seafood here has got the be the best seafood I have had in a while. It's extremely juicy, not dry at all, they are not stingy with the sauce. The service was really good as well, I like how the staff will occasionally check up on you but not to the point where it becomes a bother. The place itself had very nice decorations, it was clean and had nice music playing. The prices were great like honestly I expected to pay way more but no those special deals they have is definitely a steal. I wish they had onion though but other than that. 100/10

    1LB Shrimp and 1/2 LB Sausage. It also comes with 1 ear of corn and 2 potatoes. The Special Juicy Sauce is excellent!!!

    The manager/server Andres was very attentive and gave a great suggestion to try the Juicy Special flavor, and It was very flavorful. We decided to go with the mild spicy for our boil since it was our first time there and not sure what their definition of spice was. It was in fact mild. Drinks were promptly refilled when they reached the 1/2 empty mark, and all the tables were touched as he passed by and checked on the customers. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the sausage had a nice texture. Would probably not order the onion rings again, as they are just like the ones from Sonic. The raw oysters were nice and fresh on the half shell, but it would have been nice had they been cut away from the shell itself. Overall we will be back! Thank you for overall experience!

    My daughter says this place is the bomb! She brought me and the girl here for a really tasty lunch yesterday! The place was almost empty in the mid-afternoon. Our server was so friendly and helpful! The menu is incredible! I am sure most of you are familiar with these boil and dump seafood restaurants. The prices were good so we ordered a bounty of shrimp and crab with corn and potatoes. The seasoning was on point! They provide gloves and bibs and we tore into our feast! It was excellent and such a fun way to get your protein fill. The ambiance is casual and chill they have a full bar! I bet this place rocks on the weekend!

Patio outside not covered, so when it's hot you have to try and hide near the sides with benches that are closer to the building for fake shade. Service- easy, order at the counter. No wait time. As soon as I placed my order I had my crawfish bag in hand. I belive $9.99 a lb right now. Food- unfortunately, the flavor was overly salty for me. I was done after 1 lb.

I've lived in Houston now for many years and finally got the chance to visit to try their poboy, ironically for 713 Day (H-town represent!) A poboy is near and dear to me, the poor man's sandwich that continues to comfort and satisfy, time and time again. Shrimp is my favorite and this one gave me some major NOLA nostalgia. The bread was crispy on the outside, with a soft inside, it was stuffed with fried shrimp, and came fully dressed (IYKYK, don't skip on the pickles.) I will say that their fries were not my favorite, more of a shoestring style, while I prefer a thicker fry but came with a generous portion. During 713 Day they had a special for this sandwich for $7.13. While I only came for the sandwich, I did see that they have a number of other specials such as $5 frozen cocktails for the whole month of July, and happy hour Monday - Friday 3-6pm. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the service was top notch. I actually stopped by by myself and the server stopped by several times to check on me and even brought me some complementary chips and dip while I waited for my meal. Whether you're dining alone or with a large group, BB's seems like they are there to take care of you and show you what southern hospitality is all about.

Time to Appetizers: 20 Minutes Time to Crawfish: 25 Minutes It's a solid branch from the main location in Bellaire, but they're missing some things. For example, the Bellaire location has the new Viet-Cajun flavor of sauce that hasn't debuted here yet (though you can DIY a mix). (Review is for July 2026 if they've updated since then) We got here at 6:05PM and got seated with no issues. Ordered the following: Combo #1 with extra corn and potatoes (3.5/5): Crawfish isn't in season, so don't be surprised at my low rating. It's still great and flavorful all around. Garlic Noodles with Shrimp (4/5): Still incredibly rich and buttery and garlicy and great for a palate cleanser. I'd skip the shrimp; you get eight pieces for $10 extra and that's not really worth it. Crawfish Beignets (4.5/5): Still a fantastic appetizer. Comes out hot, crispy, buttery, and is a really indulgence. 1 lb. Little Neck Clams (4.5/5): I liked these more than the crawfish tbh. It really does depend on what's in season. Very easy to eat, very flavorful. Service was generally good but our server seemed slammed; it took a long time to get water refills and to place extra orders (we got a second order of beignets to-go). Market price for crawfish is high and they're not in season, so don't be afraid to ask. The Combo #1 in July 2026 was $22. Overall, I'll probably be back during crawfish season especially because it's more convenient for me than the Bellaire location, but the Bellaire location has it beat for general atmosphere after the remodeling and much better options for mixes there.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16.
