Where to get Crawfish in Houston



We’re so thankful to be included in this post from Neighborhoods.com as one of the top restaurants to enjoy crawfish in Houston! Did you know? “According to Houstonia Magazine, Texans’ love for crawfish began when a Louisiana chef named A. J. Judice Jr. brought them to the state. Judice introduced the crustaceans at his French Market in Port Arthur, where he would paint numbers on their shells and race them on a target-shaped racecourse. Building on the growing popularity, Luke Mandola Sr. opened his Cajun po’ boys restaurant in Houston, where he hosted springtime crawfish boils that became increasingly popular. Fast forward 20 years, and the seasonal crawfish boil has become a part of Houston culture.”

Find BB’s Cafe on YouTube as we gear up to celebrate our 10 years in Houston! We opened the first BB’s Cafe on Montrose on a Black Friday in November 2007. We started with a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant located at the corner of  Montrose and Westheimer with only 9 tables and a menu that consisted of mainly po’boys, gumbo and a few appetizers and entrees. Some of those are still on the menu until this day! Menu items like the Pollo Bullets, Maw Maws Grillades and Grits, Maw Maw’s Gumbo and our highest selling po’boy, The Bedtime in the Bayou: AKA, The fried shrimp boy! We’ve been so happy to serve this community for quite some time now and it’s our Tex-Orleans promise that we will keep working hard to improve for you for another 10 years so we can keep serving you better. It’s been fun Houston and we can’t wait to see what another 10 years holds for BB’s Cafe. One thing is for sure though: We couldn’t have come all this way without YOU, our incredible customer and of course our incredible KREWE. We thank our lucky stars for each and every one of you daily and want you to know, WE LOVE YOU HOUSTON, PEARLAND, KATY and all the communities we serve, and all the team members we have stood along side with…  serving #YOU. Subscribe to our channel now and catch up with our episodes.  BB’s Cafe will resume the channel next week as we took two weeks to catch up after Harvey and of course, assisting our incredible team and community that have been directly impacted. Thank you Houston!
