Bayou City Seafood and Pasta

See food, seafood.Been here once a long time ago prior to renovation. The spot is nice, new and way more spacious.Went for a team lunch on a Friday at 11 am. Fairly empty (they just opened). Staff were friendly. The menu is diverse. There are also lunch specials. Ordered: blackened catfish and jambalaya (lunch special), boudin balls for appetizersBoudin balls - fried crispy, come out hot, served with cocktail and tar tar sauce, it was ok, a bit under seasoned for me so the sauces are a must Blackened catfish with jambalaya- good portion for lunch (2 fillets), the catfish was blackened nicely; the jambalaya was mushy which aesthetically looked less than desirable, packed with seafood - shrimp, crawfish, etc and way too many onions, seasoned nicely overallThe lunch specials come with garlic bread but our server forgot until we reminded her ... at the end. Lastly, the tar tar sauce was ok but not enough flavor - somewhat bland The place is nice and I'm not against coming back.

Stopped in this evening for dinner. I had the sliders. They came with two and bbq sauce for dipping. Decent amount of pickles. The crawfish were a decent size. Not overly spicy. Good flavor. The claw meat even came out easily. Seasoning was brought on the side. The butter was a huge portion for two dollars. They charged for all the little extras even the gloves. The server was super polite. Made sure of the glasses being full. I would hope for the cost of sodas being nearly 4 dollars. Overall everything came out fairly fast. Just felt for the environment and bar atmosphere that the costs were high.

Came here for the first time today for Mother's Day. I must say I am impressed. Wanted to take my granny somewhere different than "Pappadeaux". I did was not able to get pictures. But we had crab cakes as an appetizer. I ordered the Mother's Day special 4 course special. So I picked the crawfish empanadas, Seafood Gumbo, Snapper w/ mushrooms, spinach, and some sauce. With Asparagus. (I don't think it's on the regular menu and I can't remember the actual name) We also ordered the seafood platter and Oyster Po Boy. Everything was delicious. Only complaint was the oysters were very bland. Cooked perfectly, but no seasoning. Not sure about the desserts yet, had to pack them to go. Drinks were on point. Our server was nice, it was super busy today so service was a little slow. But that was expected. Overall experience was good and I will be back.

Gosh i have not been here since i was a kid. I would come here just for the fresh boiled crawfish. So yummy! Now, back again so many years later. I see the place moved a few doors down. It looks nice. It use to be this small dark restaurant with amazing crawfish. I love the brightness of the new place. Our waiter was so nice. He explained the menu to us. Told us what to get and we followed. The pasta liberty was delicious! I loved the sauce. The fresh seafood. The mushrooms added nice flavor. He also recommended the crawfish bisque. It had consistency of gumbo. The flavor was divine. It was fullllll of crawfish. We also ordered the fried catfish bites and fried pickles. They were okay. Maybe put a appetizer sampler together I will be back!

First time here. Came here this Friday night, close to 8pm. No line and was seated right away. Our dining area was very clean and neat. Our waiter, Carlos, was very friendly and attentive. He gave my husband a good recommendation that he ended up enjoying. We started off with the Fried Calamari (7.5/10 good and crispy, but could've been seasoned more and the portion was small IMO) and Fried Catfish Pieces (7/10, good and crispy but could've used a little more salt). We ordered Dale's Special (our waiter recommended) (9/10, everything was well-seasoned & food remained hot), Reg. Shrimp & Crab Fettuccine (9/10, good portion, well-seasoned, creamy and good remained hot), and Chicken Fingers (my kid rated it 9/10- crispy, seasoned and delicious). We ended the dinner with a slice of the Flourless Chocolate Cake (9/10, not too sweet the way we like it & chocolate was smooth and rich).We're definitely coming back next time to try other dishes!

I've been here twice now and for the most part it's good. The service was great both times. The seafood mushroom app was bland and the stuffed shrimp was bland. But I had one of the pasta dishes and it was great. The boudin is pretty good. My family likes their fried fish and calamari dishes. The cocktails are excellent. So overall, I'd come back and try more pasta dishes. The ambiance is cool. Good for small and large parties. The covered patio area is cool too.

Stopped by for a quick lunch, and was surprised how fast the service was!Seafood gumbo was pretty solid-- a little on the lighter side, but salty, and tons of shrimp and crab. Gumbo came out in under 5 minutes from ordering. I was really hungry, so this was an awesome surprise. Also comes with free garlic bread and crackers. My only one complaint was they probably had too much water in the rice so it was a little more stuck together than I'd ideally want. Crawfish etouffee was good as well, came out piping hot! Overall service was very attentive and friendly. Ample parking, and slightly on pricer side. TVs in the bar area to watch the game. Overall solid choice in the area, so recommend it!

This is my first time back in many years. My friend and I came here last Friday evening. We had been to the old location many times way before the pandemic. It was a very old place. This is their new fancy building just down the street from their previous location. You can tell they spent a pretty penny on this upgrade.I can tell they are trying to appeal to a broader audience, and not just their regular crowd of previous older patrons. It has a new large parking lot, so that's appealing. Service - we were sat in the dining section. But I also saw 2 seater high top tables near the bar as well. Service was pretty stellar. Our server explained he had worked there for a long time. He did all the big and little things that make a dining experience look easy. Charming, available, courteous, and bagged up our food for us. Food - since it's the season, I ordered 1lb of their crawfish. $9.99 is their mkt price right now. Honestly, it was ok. I guess to make more $, they dont provide any sauce or fixings included. Mind you, this is Cajun style, not Viet where it's saucy already. You have to pay for their $1.99 extra. I was still hungry. I wanted to order their sautéed crab fingers, but they were out. So, I decided on the pasta glacier (regular size) after recommendation from our server. He said he eats there every day and has had all of the pasta dishes. It was an interesting flavor that I didn't expect. It didn't seem really cajan inspired, but it was creative! It was fairly tasty. It includes goat cheese, veggies, plus scallops and shrimp, with a light sauce.

I discovered Bayou City Seafood and Pasta through word of mouth, and this establishment met my expectations.The staff was warm & welcoming, the restaurant had a nice design and appeared to be clean, and the lunch menu had pretty good options.The spicy pineapple margarita and the shrimp creole were both great in their own right. In addition, the food service was fast!The glaring area of opportunity I see for Bayou City Seafood and Pasta is improving their pricing without sacrificing quality. In other words, the prices on their regular menu (non-lunch menu) were rather high to the point they seemed unreasonable. Nonetheless, I will keep Bayou City Seafood and Pasta in mind the next time I'm in the area and desire tasty seafood.

I visited this place with my cousin after a baseball game because I had a craving for crawfish. We decided to sit at the bar. The atmosphere was pleasant and the patrons were welcoming. They seem to have happy hour almost every day. We were greeted by Emily and Amanda.My cousin ordered boudin balls, while I opted for a pound of crawfish, mushrooms, and corn & potatoes. The quantity was just right for me - I especially loved the mushrooms. The boudin balls were crispy on the outside and moist inside. They also provided warm towels after the meal, which was a nice touch.The only thing I wished for was that the bartenders had introduced themselves, rather than us having to hear their names from another customer.
