BB's Tex - Orleans

We ventured to @bbstexorleans in the Alamo Ranch area for Sunday lunch. Yareli was our server who took good care of us.Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Arnold Palmer, and I had Unsweet Tea. Hubby and shared the Mad Hatter salad, which was delicious. One of the better salads in town. Dad and I shared the Rockdale Redfish. It was tasty with the butter sauce. Hubby had the Redfish Etouffee. Good cajun food!

We haven't been there in a while and thought we'd try it again. My wife's birthday is coming up and she had a birthday coupon for 10$ to use. My wife had the catfish po boy, which she liked. I ordered the lunch fish and shrimp plate with red beans and rice and hush puppies. First the hush puppies, they were balls of uncooked dough. The red beans and rice looked like it was yesterday's leftover and tasted like it too. The shrimp was nice size; but greasy and what flavor they had was not good. I noticed that all the fried food had the same taste like it was cooked in the same grease. When it was time to check out we were told that the manager had left to run errands and we could not use our coupon. They eventually got it straightened out and we received the discount. Can't complain about the service though the waitress was very good. I would not recommend them.

Unfortunately after this experience we are never returning to this established due to the subpar food quality provided. When we first dined here, we enjoyed the food but it's been a year since we been here. We came into SA to visit so we took our family out for Cajun food. This place was a hit last time we were here. We ordered our favorites which are the shrimp platter, fish ceviche, and gumbo. Shrimp platter : 1/5 super greasy and flavorless. The shrimp was definitely imported and was super chewy. Shrimp was definitely not from the coast. Cole slaw was awful and tasted bitter and odd.Fish ceviche:5/5 this ceviche batch was better than last time we had this dish here. The balance in acid was to perfection. I love that this balance was more lime forward. Highly recommend this dish here. Chips are freshly fried and paired well with ceviche.Gumbo: 1/5 I wanted to send this gumbo back but my husband wouldn't allow me to. Instead he insisted he eat it. (He hates food waste). First off they literally poured butter on top of the gumbo. It was runny and was not thick. There were only a couple shrimp in there and was more of a soup consistency than a thick gumbo. Flavors were off and tasted nothing like gumbo. From the picture you can see how greasy it was . Do I recommend this place? No. Only thing I recommend here is the ceviche. That's it. The water tasted off too .

Try: Mama B's Famous Shrimp & Grits.Why: Grilled jumbo shrimp, smothered in andouille cream sauce over a bed of cheese grits. I liked the cream sauce and smother the shrimp in it. I got a side of Collared Greens, which hit the spot after a few years of not having it. The Bacon wrapped Chicken stuffed with cream cheese and jalapeños with a side of Cajun cream sauce were good but I was hoping for more pop on flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with complimentary Chips & Bean Dip, which came out right after we ordered drinks. I washed everything down with a refreshing Alamo Ale.Notes: There was a 15 min wait around 7pm on a weekend even though we saw many open tables - they seemed short staffed and/or had reservations. We decided to eat at bar since there was no wait. Hostess and Bartender were friendly, attentive, and helpful. Overall, solid Cajun-Tex meal with friends.

My husband and I came in for happy hour on a Thursday. Oysters were half price, which is the best deal I've found so far. We also got an order of queso and fish ceviche, beers and a hurricane.The gulf coast oysters were a decent size and were very good (I mean, we ate 3 dozen!). Queso was good and the fish ceviche were good. Service was quick and our waitress was friendly. I loved all the artwork they had too, reminds me of NOLA.Overall, we had a great time and will be back for dinner next time!

BB's Tex-Orleans delivers a solid Tex-Orleans experience with their shrimp and crab boil! The dish was generously seasoned with a perfect balance of spicy and buttery flavors. The portion size was incredible--our boil included two king crabs, two Dungeness crabs, a pound of shrimp, corn, potatoes, and a variety of veggies. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors soaked into every bite.The ambiance was casual and relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind over a hearty meal. Service was prompt, with short wait times even during our visit. The staff kept things running smoothly, adding to the overall positive experience.For the quality, flavor, and generous portions, BB's Tex-Orleans is a spot I'd gladly visit again. Highly recommend it for seafood lovers looking for bold flavors in a laid-back setting!

My husband and I finally found our go-to SA fried shrimp place! Our Gold Standards are actually in South Padre and Port Aransas, but BB's is just as good as them and we are so happy it's near us. We have enjoyed everything we've had from the menu. I especially love their kale cole slaw & fried okra. The only thing they lack is good IPAs on tap. They were out last time we were there.

The food here is always great quality. Bread pudding is highly recommended. Go during happy hour for good drinks and food deals. Service is never bad. I knock a star honestly for the water. I know I know, a little petty but the water tastes horrible. One sip almost made me toss it.

The food was very good and very well priced. The waitress was very sweet. Explained stuff when we asked questions and was very attentive if we needed refills. The place inside reminded me a lot of New Orleans in a good way I would recommend going.

absolutely positively the best Crawfish I have ever had and I've had A LOT! We love the atmosphere, love the staff and even the manager Jason always comes around to check on the guests and visit. It's a pleasant experience all the way around, but the Crawfish is freaking out of this world. Ask for Neidfor your server! You won't be disappointed!! A++++++++
