BB’s Café: Cajun Fare in Houston

January 30, 2014 11:18 am

Craving authentic Cajun cuisine? Plan a trip to Houston's BB’s Café. The dining area is laid back and comfy, and the menu is just what you’d expect from a place that started out as a Po-Boy joint. The Po-Boys are stuffed with great ingredients like gulf shrimp, fried Mississippi catfish, Louisiana crawfish tails and homemade roast beef, on a French roll with fixings. You’ll think that you just landed on the bayou! Try other favorites like Maw-Maw’s Gumbo, crawfish etouffee or red beans & rice. There are also lots of Tex-Orleans platters that you can enjoy. Having an event? BB’s can cater any affair, and can even put together a crawfish-shrimp boil!
