Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen Houston Reviews
Best service and food! Ask for the homemade honey lime vinegarette dressing for your salad! Amazing! Love the Pasta Jambalaya also! Shrimp and sausage. Don't miss this restaurants cajun flavor. They also have lots of comfy booths, windows and libations!
I love Boudreauxs the food is delicious, staff is always friendly and I was so happy to see it busy when I went yesterday. This place deserves to be busy all the time it's so good. I didn't catch the manager's name, ( he's a tall gentleman) but him and his whole team are great, caring and gave the whole restaurant a great vibe.. The Gentleman that was playing the Saxophone 🎷 for Fat Tuesday is truly amazing and had the entire restaurant vibing 🎶🎶 Thank you for an amazing Tuesday!! I can't recommend just one item off the menu because the entire menu is absolutely delicious, fresh and homemade... I've been to so many restaurants but Boudreauxs tops them all so I'm just going to quit driving around and come straight to my happy place when I can't cook.... I do want to share the BREAD PUDDING'S (SWEET POTATO AND REGULAR) ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! PERIOD!!
Great place, good prices and excellent service! I order to-go and dine and and it’s always a nice experience. The food is of high quality, fresh and always made correctly. I definitely will keep going back!
Haven't been here in a while. But decided to stop for their shrimp poboy. My poboy had plenty of shrimp and lots of pickles which I asked Xtra for. It was delicious and my side was the fries. The seasoning made the fries very delicious 😋 also. My brother had the LA sampler and he enjoyed everything that came with it. Will be back to try something different
It's been quite a while since we've eaten at Boudreaux's. We remembered the great food and today was more of the same. My wife got a bowl of shrimp gumbo which she loved...it was slightly smaller than a #10 washtub...it was big. She also enjoyed some fried green tomatos which I helped her with, got a few spoons of her gumbo too. We sample everything. I enjoyed a cup of seafood gumbo and a 10 count fried butterflied shrimp platter. this also came wit' french fries dusted wit' Cajun seasonings. Both of us enjoyed a piece of skillet toast that came with our food. Did we order too much? Yes, but we made a valiant effort....we'd come back for more goodies.
Always a great experience. The service and food are consistently excellent. At this point, I’ve tried almost the entire menu and have never been disappointed. This location sets the standard every single time.
First time here and it was great. The only sad part about it was that with how they have it set up reminded me of Portillo's... 😢 Great food, plenty of seating (though I went here around noon,) and the menu has some great options for someone who doesn't have this kind of food often. I normally stick to pasta, nothing against y'all but I grew up with a grandma that was pure Italian and everything was homemade so it's kind of hard to beat that. 😆 Y'all have a great day!
Update 7-6-25 as always, no disappointments. Good food with good service. My favorite location and I have been to a few. Update 2-1-25 another awesome dinner. As always the service and food was amazing. Will continue to visit when I come to Houston. Always clean. Food is ways good when i visit. I usually get the stuffed fish but tried a different dish, and it was good.
Great food and awesome staff. We stopped in for a quick dinner on our way out of Houston and had the stuffed fish and the Cajun combo (catfish with shrimp etouffee, red beans and rice.) With two fountain drinks and a tip, it came out to just under $50 total. Bathrooms were clean, seating was comfortable. I really appreciate the to-go boxes being set out by the silverware. Regrettably, the only photo I took was this goofy fish on the wall near the bathrooms, but I love him so he gets put on the review.
Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen truly is a gem for those craving authentic Cajun flavors right in the heart of the city. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance transported me to the Louisiana bayou with its charming decor and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share recommendations from their expansive menu of Southern classics. The highlight of my visit, without a doubt, was the fried green tomatoes. This dish was a delightful surprise, showcasing the perfect balance of crispy exterior and tender, tangy interior. Each bite was a testament to the kitchen's ability to elevate simple ingredients into a memorable culinary experience. The breading was seasoned to perfection, providing just the right amount of crunch without overpowering the freshness of the tomatoes. Served with a side of remoulade sauce that added an extra layer of flavor, these fried green tomatoes were not just food; they were a celebration of Southern cuisine. Aside from the delicious food, the service at Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen was impeccable. The staff's attentiveness and warmth made the experience even more enjoyable. It's rare to find a place that feels like home while offering dishes that surprise and delight with every bite. They have $3 drinks during happy hour. i wouldn't recommend unless you get a floater. other then you are paying $3 for juice. great place to watch game as they are not over crowed like how they use to be . recommend
Spectacular!!! It's such an easy restaurant to make it all happen! We had an absolutely marvelous lunch! Gumbo was on our agenda, and they knocked it out of the park! Impressive from the time we walked into the building! The layout was perfect, along with the signage since it was my first visit! The menu was displayed nicely overhead and easily deciphered! The staff was impressive and brought us our lunch one it was prepared! The manager checked on us a couple of times to ensure we were satisfied! This is a "must visit" if you're in the area and hungry for a hearty meal that doesn't taste like a "chain restaurant" meal! Impressive!

Stack a Dolla is amazing he's better than the whole staff I've been coming here for years and seeing him if you go here ask for stack a dolla he is going to recommend the best plates and make sure …
The food was delicious and well seasoned. The customer service was decent enough for this day and age. The parking lot was sufficient but not enough to handle a big crowd. Unfortunately, the facilities is dated, aging, and in need of major refurbishing. The location is kind of tucked away in an area that is easy to overlook so you’ll need Google Maps to get there but I think it’s worth it.
I'm a big fan of this restaurant and have tried many seafood dishes. All of them have been tasty and very satisfying: Shrimp and Grits, Pecan Orleans, Stuffed Fish and even their grilled chicken.…

I've been going there occasionally and foods have been great. Great services. About once a year, I'd host a local deaf social there. I love Cajun/Creole food. Friendly environment.
Delivery Order. Charged for a gallon of lemoade only to receive maybe 28oz. The food was just very okay. Fish was small and no flavor on the Po Boy. lemonade was cheap like from powder ($15/gallon)…

The food was good been here a few times no complaints at this location. The drinks are strong as well. Nice music playing and nice bayou feel inside. The service is ok.
My partner and I ordered out for delivery because I had a craving for fried catfish. The food was ok, but definately not worth the price or the wait time. The fried catfish itself was perfect, but …

Food is OK, but the portions don't match the price at all. These "plates" cost like $12 a piece. For $12 I can get a whole meal and a drink from Chick Fil A. hell, I could get like 2 craving boxes …

⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 star) I went yesterday at lunchtime around 11:30 AM and ordered a very simple meal: two pieces of catfish with a salad. The restaurant was not busy at all, yet it took almost one full hour to get my food. The whole place felt disorganized. The manager was not managing, the cashier was doing nothing, and the kitchen was extremely slow. Too many people standing around, but nothing getting done. It completely ruined my lunch break. On top of that, the food was overpriced. I paid about $20 for two small pieces of catfish and a very basic salad that was mostly lettuce. Nothing special, nothing worth the wait or the price. Very disappointing experience overall. I won’t be coming back.
I was so disappointed! All the entrees were so bad. I had the grilled platter, the fish was so salty I couldn’t eat it. The crab cake was the thinnest crab cake I’ve ever seen in my life and also salty. There were literally only 3 shrimp in the platter. My husband had the stuffed fish, it was so poorly presented. He didn’t even bother to eat it. He also had the seafood gumbo which he said was definitely not gumbo but it was probably the only thing we got that wasn’t completely horrible. The kids chicken tenders were so flimsy and dried out. I was so excited to try this place because of how good the food looked in the pictures. I was extremely disappointed.
Came in for lunch, ordered the combo deal on Tuesday. The cashier told me it would take 15 minutes. 5 minutes later the food was done, I figured that was too fast to be fresh but i didn’t say anything. I took my food to go and when i got home i realized there was a HAIR in my food and the food was lukewarm. I went back and got a refund but there was no attempt to reconcile the situation whatsoever. Hopefully someone sees this
