Review Abe's Cajun Market - Houston

Fresh, fast, delicious cajun cooking. The staff was helpful and friendly helping decide what to try for those 1st timers. The restaurant was clean and well kept. Would return to try some of their mouth watering desserts.

Absolutely love this place. Never had a bad dish. They might have the best chicken caesar that I've ever had. The French Quarters Roast Beef Po Boy is pretty freakin delicious too.

The best Cajun food outside of Louisiana. Love this place. The crawfish etoufee is amazing and the cornbread is a must have.

Just tried Abe’s for the first time. Seafood gumbo was 10/10. Really good gumbo and generous portion. Large bowl of gumbo, cornbread plus drink for $12 is a high value lunch. Will be back for sure.

We come here pretty often. Smothered pork chops on rice and the roast beef sandwich Boudain balls twice baked potatoes and more. Very good with order at the counter and self seating.

This place was awesome. Excellent crawfish dishes. I recommend to get the sampler of soup . Good boudin, the fried mushrooms were delicious. Not forget the cake desserts .

Wow! We came to Abe's for Sunday lunch. It was excellent. My husband got the Cajun sampler, and it was enough food that he'll be having lunch tomorrow! Ask food was delicious, and the service was super friendly. We'll definitely be coming back.

I'm a very solid veteran foodie, and when I say this is my favorite oh, there is no smoke being blown. The people are friendly, the food is delicious. I used to drive to San Leon for topwater grill, this one measures up to it and gives you more food. I love love love this place.

👍 The owners are from Lake Charles, Louisiana and the food is really good. We especially like the fried oysters and crawfish boudin. 👍 They have frozen food you can buy and cook later. 👍 They have a restroom (bathroom), which is a viral meme (pictured). 🤛 The only bad thing thing I have to say about this place is that it's so far from civilization (outside Houston's 610 Loop) 😅

I had the New Orleans Muffaletta with a bowl ofchicken and sausage gumbo both were delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Tasty Cajun food. Especially enjoyed the Hush Puppies and Crawfish Creole. Very friendly and helpful staff who brought extra plates and made sure we had other items we needed. On a recent visit, when we arrived just before closing, friendly cooks filled our orders nevertheless.👍🙏

The tables are well over 6 feet apart and plenty of hand sanitizers everywhere, which I appreciated that so much. I ordered red bean and rice, it was okay. Not new Orleans good, but definitely better than mine. Bread pudding was delish.

Chicken and Sausage gumbo. ..Outstanding. Fried Fish..yummy. BLT...so good. Chocolate Tier cake Awesome. Perfect Restaurant to eat. Always be back . New updated: They did q good job for the fries...the change with little bit batter ..not just a plain fries. And the taste outstanding.

Love, love, love this Cajun restaurant. Prices are reasonable and everything I have tried here is great. They have a wonderful Jalepeno Ranch dressing ( have to request it). Outside dining available and is very nice when the weather cooperates. Wait staff has always been friendly and helpful. Restaurant has always been very clean and orderly. Restrooms are always clean. Today, as always, I purchased desserts from Abe's along with lunch. The first two pictures are Hummingbird cake- a Southern favorite(banana cake with pineapple and pecans. The 3rd and 4th are Carrot cake also delicious. The last picture is a Brownie and a Pecan Praline brownie ( which is also very good). They have pie by the slice, bread pudding, cheesecake, and several other cake varieties. The desserts servings are as plentiful and tasty as the rest of the foods served at Abe's. Really is a great place to eat.

My boys and I went here today, and omg the food was delicious we were there for a quick lunch where we all had the kids meals. The kids meals are hefty! Even I got full and had some leftover!!!😋 The atmosphere is very nice and calm, and I love that thatey have a jiant decorative tree in the middle of the restaurant floor where it looks like it's holding up the ceiling. Oh and kids eat free every Monday after 4pm Definitely going back!!

The food is outstanding. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and the staff are so kind and attentive.

First time last night. The loaded baked potato was awesome. Wife loved the chicken with mushrooms. Got a good look at the beef sandwich. That’s next!

Sampler for newbies was great. Serving portions were huge. Delicious food at a good price. Everyone taking home food.

A taste of Louisiana in Texas<br/><br/>I stopped here for lunch and since it's crawfish season I had to try the crawfish etouffee. I ordered the appetizer. Absolutely delicious! So flavorful. I also ordered the half New Orleans Muffuletta. It actually reminded me of a muffuletta from New Orleans. Abe's is the real deal. Friendly customer service and not expensive. Next time I will try the desserts.

My hubby and I have had wonderful experiences with this restaurant. The seafood is prepared and will exceed your expectations. The prices are very good and the service is great. We have brought our grown children and their children and Church members who live in Bay town, TX. Go there and you will not be disappointed.

I came in here for lunch. The place was recommended by other colleagues that were here a few days earlier. I ordered the catfish platter. It came with way more catfish than I expected. I was barely able to get to the side items. All the items were very good. The prices are moderate and the portions were on the large size. Very satisfied with Abe’s and would recommend the place to others.

If I could give it a minus star I would ..... there was a longgggggg hair in my crawfish etoufe over catfish .... I was grossed out as it got in my mouth and I showed it too the waiter and he acted like it was my fault really dude .1 I have a baseball hat on . 2. I am a black man with short hair less than half inch all around my head . So I asked for the manager and he just was very un apologetic didn't offer a refund I had to ask and then he only wanted to comp half the meal . I would highly recommend not eating here they need to get it together ..also it's not a good look having service deliveries come through the front door and dining area .20 thumbs down for this place never ever eat here!

If you had a bad experience here a year or two ago, give them another chance.<br/><br/>Abe's has had an odd recent history, fortunately with a good ending [so far]. When I first started going 5 or 6 years ago, Abe's was good: nice portions, good food, and appropriate wait times.<br/><br/>Then something happened, and the quality of the food and --- more notably --- the portion sizes went down dramatically. I complained, and stop going. Apparently, others did too.  Because then something else happened, and I'm happy to report that for the last year or so, they're right back on track.<br/><br/>Pro: Just about everything.  I think all of the food that I've eaten there [in this Phase III incarnation, at least] is solidly good. Nothing to get a Michelin star, but solidly, consistently good food, properly prepared and properly seasoned.  I like the salads. I like the lunch specials. I'm from a state where cornbread is mandatory, and the cornbread (two kinds: regular, and jalapeño) flows at Abe's. They have a Coke FreeStyle, which is especially appreciated by those of us looking for the elusive caffeine-free diet drink.  They have self-serve jalapeño ranch dressing.  They even have the good, thick, sweet red ketchup [you know what I'm talking about].  I've never been able to get there for dinner, but they look to have some good dinner specials, too.<br/><br/>Cons: Not much. It's a little hectic [you order at the register and are given a number, then waiters continuously circulate through the eating area with trays calling out those numbers, but that's just part of the vibe and has never bothered me at all. Parking is sometimes a little crowded, but worst case you might have to walk 50'  [for me, eating at all times from 11:00a to 1:30p, this happens maybe once in ten times].<br/><br/>If you're anywhere near Clear Lake, give them a try.

I love their grilled shrimp caesar salad, but the hubs gets something new every time and we always walk out satisfied! Some of the best home style cajun cooking in Texas!

The Spinach Muffaletta. Spinach, cream cheese, homemade olive mix, and provolone cheese

I am not a seafood lover, but my husband convinced me to try it. I was so glad he did. This place was great! I told them I'd never been, so they made me a sample plate to try so I could choose. I ended up trying the red beans and rice with a half roast beef & auju. The hush puppies my husband got on the side were fantastic, and I swear I'm going to have to try the carrot cake next time. Well worth a try. Enjoy!

Recent Visit. Went to this place due to good reviews. Very disappointed - gumbo was watery and appeared to have been heated in a microwave; smothered pork chop was tough, dry and not very flavorful. Wait staff was uncoordinated and shorted the restaurant on the bill due to miscommunication. They claim to be 'Cajun', but do not make the PO Boys we know from New Orleans. Will not go there again.

Was told this place used to be good. I won't go into too much detail but I know the food they served us was spoiled. The Po boy I had was filled with slimy shrimp. My mom had boudan balls that tasted like they were cooked in oil that hadn't been changed ever..... my husband had a sandwich took one bite and spat it out. We didn't have the heart to send the food back so we left. We actually weren't hungry anymore because the spoiled food turned our stomachs :( I hate leaving bad reviews....

Had po boy catfish sandwich with red beans and rice with French fries. Wonderful place to eat. Fast service even though we ate at noon during the peak of the lunch crowd. Catfish sandwich needed a little hit of hit sauce to spice it up a little, but overall it was perfect. Many things to try on the menu. Can't wait till my next visit.

Food was delicious, portions large and prices fair. We will be back.

Deliscious. Went here for the first time today. I am a big fan of cajun and this place hit the spot. It is a quaint little place brilliantly decorated. The jambalaya was the special today and the portion could have served four. Sweet cornbread and green beans came as the side. Can't wait to return and try a desert!

I love this place reminds me of home cooked food from my grams priced right awesome food and fir the people that think its terrible and overpriced go back to Yankee land and eat you crap you call food there you Jack wagons. Keep it going Abe's awesome and I will be back.......

Outstanding. The etoufette is great and the best muffuletta sandwich this side of the Texas state line. And if you like meat pies, well you got to try theirs.

Awesome!!. Abe's is great! The food and people there are really the best. They have the best cornbread ever. The etouffee is to die for and the desserts out of this world. <br/> The prices are awesome! You can completely stuff yourself for less than $10. The lunch specials are huge and only cost $7.25. All of the po-boys are $6.99 and on monday nights kids eat FREE!!<br/>Patrick is totally wrong about the prices(and the food) Just look at the menu! They are far from "too pricey".

My family is cajun and 4 us They have some good food but to me the live music is soo loud and annoing it's almoast not worth it

Terrible, overpriced food. I thought I was being harsh on this place until I brought a Cajun friend with me and he backed up my opinion. The food is banal, too salty and too pricey for what you get.

Very good. Abe's is great! Always friendly staff, and quick. They cater and it is always fabulous. Try the chicken salad, it is superb.

Crawfish Etoufette Stuffed Baked Potato. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Ive been here dozens of times and never had a bad experience.
