The food was well made and the flavor was on point. Service was also fantastic. Great first experience. The gumbo shrimp was the best and i kind of wish i had just ordered a bigger bowl of that instead. The picture is the poboy half and half with shrimp gumbo combo

Forever was a fantastic waitress! She was fast and efficient. She helped recommend menu items and addressed allergy concerns. She treated all of her tables well and was prompt when taking care of their needs. The food was flavorful. Portion sizes were generous. The manager on duty visited our table to make sure everything was all right. This is exactly what you want a casual dining experience to be and we cannot wait to come back!

I visited BB’s on October 31 with a group of 21 people (11 couples with reservations), and we practically tried everything on the menu. Our server, Forever, was incredible—she handled our large group with grace, kept everything running smoothly, and the food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The experience was so good that I came back the very next day (November 1, 2925) for lunch, and once again, BB’s did not disappoint! This time, Jerrica was my server, and she took the service experience to another level. I ordered the Tex-Creole crawfish, a boudain link, and green beans—everything was cooked to perfection. The food, the friendly atmosphere, and the attentive staff make BB’s on 249 (between Jones and Grant Rd.) a true gem. I’ll definitely be back!

My first visit here. I had the Redfish with crawfish over rice and Mexican Street corn. The food was absolutely delicious. I took one star off because I felt it was very pricey for this type of restaurant. Probably better to reduce the portion size to get the price in the low twenties. Also we went on a rainy early afternoon with only a few customers and the service was very, very slow.

The atmosphere is comfortable and full of character. The dishes were served quickly, the food was delicious, and the servers were very friendly and attentive.

The bean salsa they gave as an appetizer was a fun combo of Cajun and TexMex, but it may as well have been a bean soup. It was very watery, but it did have a good flavor. Still, I feel like they could have given it more punch. Then I got Maw Maw’s pasta, which was also good but lacking that Cajun PUNCH of flavor I really wanted. All in all, I wasn’t mad about what I ate but it just wasn’t anything special. I think they have good potential and a start to creativity, but I just needed them to give me a little bit more.

This bbs location has been my favorite so far, the bartender forever was fantastic. She was highly skilled and took tremendous care of me the whole time. The general manager Becca was extremely personable and checked up on me frequently to ensure i was having a good time. The food was spectacular and the portion size sent me home a size bigger.
