Met some friends here for lunch. Staff was very friendly. Order from the counter and they give u a buzzer for when it's ready. Cozy place with tables and booths. Have to say the booth seats were very low to the table, felt like we were almost sitting on the floor with the table at our chins. Other than that, the food was fabulous. We had the fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits and a shrimp poboy...before I could blink, my best friends plate was empty( she has the shrimp and grits).... the grits were fried and I'm guessing she loved them. My poboy was really good, and the fried green tomatoes ( I don't eat these often) were really flavorful...highly recommend them. Will definitely go back and get some take put before I leave the Houston area.

Service was great and the food delicious. Very clean and attentive staff. The restrooms were tidy and spacious the large stall had a changing table and a sink which was wonderful & convenient. We orders a kids tender, pecan crusted fish, stuffed fish, dirty rice, hush puppies, red beans & rice, jalapeño cornbread and the entrees came with garlic bread which was allllllll delicious & portions were generous in my opinion. Would definitely dine here again!

So I’m definitely a regular who spends a decent amount of money and tip very well and they added Cajun queso to their menu and they need to take it off immediately!!!! It’s runny no green chiles or rotel flavor it’s literally american melted cheese slices in a cup for 13 dollars TRY AGAIN!!!

Great cajun food! Great atmosphere! Great customer service! Thank you Louis for taking great care of us. We called you answered with a wonderful personality. It seems like you really enjoy your job and it's refreshing! I ordered the shrimp and fish with a side of hush puppies. My husband ordered the grilled seafood combo and my brother had the seafood platter with a bowl of gumbo. My brother said it's just as good as first place gumbo cook-off. He did not even add hot sauce to it, which is something! My husband loved his lunch as much as I did! The music really made me feel like I was on Bourbon st. So much that I started day dreaming of when we can get back there.Thanks again Louis for making our lunch day fantastic!

It was great..good delicious food. The young ladies were very helpful with the menu items..the food had a good presentation, the fried green tomatoes were super...we placed a second order.. The only thing is some of the booths, you sink in, or should I say sink down. Next time we will seat on on the tables with the wooden chairs. Ya should try it.

I hadn't been to this location and decided to have lunch. The staff was kind and friendly. I tried the shrimp and friend grits with cajun sauce as the cashier said I wouldn't go wrong. She was surly right. Ooooh my, it was really good. The establishment was clean and plenty of tables. If you want to get a great meal and hangout with family and/or friends this is the place to do so. You will not go wrong.

Located in the heart of Houston at 100 Gulfgate Mall, Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen serves a slice of authentic Cajun cuisine that captures the spirit of Louisiana with every bite. This cozy yet vibrant spot draws you in with its warm atmosphere and friendly staff, creating a dining experience that feels both genuine and inviting.

The menu is a showcase of Cajun classics prepared with skill and care. Signature dishes like the Seafood Platter and Seafood Gumbo provide rich, complex flavors that transport you straight to the bayou. The Crawfish Etouffee and Pasta Jambalaya highlight the kitchen's mastery over traditional spices and slow-cooking methods, marrying bold seasonings with fresh seafood and perfectly balanced rice or pasta bases.

On the lighter yet equally satisfying side, the Pecan Salad with Grilled Shrimp offers a refreshing contrast, pairing the crunch of pecans with tender grilled shrimp, while the Boudin Balls bring a delightful Cajun twist to appetizers—crispy on the outside, savory and tender inside.

Among the favorites is the Fried Shrimp, praised often for its crispy texture and juicy interior, complemented perfectly by signature sauces such as the one accompanying their much-loved Fried Green Tomatoes. This dish alone has earned loyal fans, thanks to its flavorful, tangy sauce and a satisfying crunch that stands out even to those who aren’t usually drawn to fried vegetables.

Drinks here elevate the experience, with expertly crafted Rum Daiquiris and a robust Long Island Iced Tea that bring a lively touch to the meal. The beverage menu balances well with the spicy, smoky, and hearty food offerings, rounding out a complete Southern feast.

What stands out is not just the food, but how the service and ambiance add layers to the visit. From attentive servers who make you feel like family to a background playlist reminiscent of Bourbon Street’s lively spirit, Boudreaux's Cajun Kitchen delivers more than a meal—it serves an experience. Though some details like booth seating may feel quirky, the overall charm and diverse menu options keep diners coming back.

Whether you’re indulging in the bold flavors of the Blackened Tilapia Shrimp & Fish or enjoying the comforting embrace of Red Beans & Rice paired with garlicky bread, this Cajun kitchen captures the soul of Southern cooking. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic, flavorful Cajun fare in Houston.
