This is not your typical Pub Food hang out. This neighborhood gem has Creole/ Cajun fare, that is prepared with real Chef quality. The atmosphere can get a little hectic, because at times it is a busy place; popularity denote quality in this establishment. However, the staff is always professional and courteous. The manager walks the floor regularly. so if you see something out of sorts, let him know and he will certainly handle it. This place is in the heart of the Greenway plaza/ River Oaks corridor and that makes for a wide range of patron types. But this is not strictly a yuppy, hipster or millennial type joint. I've seen all walks in here and that is WAY COOL. You won't usually find your super uptight, Stuft shirt, pinky out and starched collar types enjoying the fare here. If you are one of those types this may not be your Blond Bombshell. (Hense the few complaints you may see in the reviews). If you are looking for a comfortable, be yourself, have a beer or something stronger and a fantastic meal sort of place, you found it here. They have a great patio as well for the warmer months, for you outdoorsy types. I love this place as the perfect neighbor hood gathering place...
This was one of the best lunch experiences I've had in houston! Roy was a great server and very attentive. The weather was beautiful and I had a great view from the patio.The Crawfish were the best I've had yet! ♡ my bloody Mary's were on point too ;)

I love their seafood gumbo with extra crab meat. I usually get it to go because I work at the school around the corner and by the time I make it back to my class it's still hot. Also try their boil shrimp the spicy ones. Very good.
I wanted to eat a taste of a dish that was a Cajun/ Tex mex fusion, which is what drew to trying out BB’s in the first place. I landed on the boudin flautas. Three flour tortillas filled with boudin, crab meat, deep fried, then covered in a verde cream sauce. I don’t normally order sea food dishes, but it’s hard to go wrong with a deep fried tortilla. Great choice , with red beans and rice as a side. The red beans were really good with a bit of a smokey flavor. I ordered 2 hush puppies for $1. After one bite, I ordered 2 more. Excellent, light and flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly.
I have been to this BB’s Café location (Upper Kirby) a couple of times, but a recent visit on a Saturday evening was my first visit in more 2 years. Despite the place was packed, the wait staff did a great job to get our food/drink orders out in a timely basis. Parking can be a problem especially during weekday business hours.
My wife and I went here late one night looking for something to eat, thought we'd give it a try. We were very happy when we left had the best PoBoy to touch my lips. We'll definitely be back!!
One of the smaller locations, but not the smallest. Of course, being known for their crawfish that is a must when you visit here. However, if you're looking for something else I would highly advise the Tuesday Special which is pecan crusted chicken, jalapeno/brisket mac & cheese and veggies. I could literally eat this every day and never get sick of it. Abita-Rita is also a must when you go!
Some if the best fried pickles I've had in Houston. The spicy boiled shrimp is prepared with crawfish boil and is served with corn and potato. Friendly prompt service.

Our experience was great! The boil experience was scrumptious!!! The grits were delicious as well as the boudin balls!
Hakeem was a wonderful bartender and waiter! He made our night very pleasant with his charisma and kindness! He made our experience so enjoyable! He made me a Piña colada that I said was "tolerable" and went out of his way to have someone else make me one that I would enjoy more!!! The gentleman who took his time to make it was also so very nice!! And the gentleman who seated us was very kind too (he had a unique mustache)! Our over all experience was great and we'll definitely be back, hopefully we'll catch the great bartender with his great service!
Excellent service and great bar tender. Food is fantastic 😋. It was great seeing a sweet friend, Dennis Rodman, there and in Houston. We used to model at his. New Port Beach ⛱️ restaurant. He would give us big hugs. Welcome to Houston, Texas
This place is fantastic and a great Houston escape into a genuine New Orleans vibe - the owners, the art, and the food are all NOLA authentic. They're open late and have a great menu (they are part of the Houston Restaurant Weeks too), this place has my stamp of approval!
The best boil we’ve ever had. There was so much flavor with their wet rub they add.
The alligator sausage, pollo bombs, and corn were better than expected. 1/2 pound shrimp provided more than enough!
The drinks weren’t too sweet and had good flavor.
The ambiance outside was peaceful and quaint.
BBS Tex-Orleans for lunch today. The restaurant was cute, cozy, and clean. The boudin balls appetizer was delish!
We chose the daily gumbo special and the small order of etouffee for our lunch. Both dishes were good.
I’m from south Louisiana, so I enjoy a darker roux than what was served.
Great deals on crawfish, with 3lbs $23.99 and 5lbs $33, recommend Cajun flavor if you are not a spicy lover, and if you are into spicy flavor, definitely Texas flavor!
Went here for the first time with my family. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Houston. The food was amazing. We had the Boudin Flautas which was the best thing I have eaten. My daughter had the fish tacos. She said they were delicious. If your visiting Houston go see Randy he was a wonderful server.
Bbs is our neighborhood go to spot for all things tex Orleans...Cajun with Texas flair. The crawfish are always on point! The boudin link comes straight from Louisiana and only 6 bucks on happy hour and it is FIRE. The staff is awesome Randy and all the crew make everyone feel right at home. We like this BB's best out of all the locations.
Excellent food and service. I had the shrimp and grits with a side salad. I'm going to have it again sometime soon. Tried the grilled shrimp dinner today. It was very good. They don't have it on the menu so you have to ask for grilled. They are very accommodating so it wasn't a big deal to get it grilled.
Food was amazing. It was our first time visiting, and it more than we expected. Jordan was a great server. Whenever we come back to Houston we will most definitely stop again.
