BB’s Tex-Orleans Expands to Beaumont, Earning Statewide Media Coverage
BB’s Tex-Orleans continued its Texas expansion with a new location in Beaumont, now open at 2325 Calder Ave. The move drew coverage from leading state and regional publications including the Houston Chronicle and CultureMap Houston.
In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, founder and CEO Brooks Bassler shared that the decision to enter East Texas was rooted in cultural alignment as much as opportunity.
“It’s our people at the end of the day,” Bassler said. “There’s no explaining our cuisine out there. They get it. They know it. They crave it.”
BB’s Tex-Orleans Beaumont spans approximately 8,200 square feet, including a 3,200-square-foot indoor dining room seating 70 guests and a large outdoor patio with seating for up to 175. The patio includes a covered section, a dedicated children’s play area, and a 225-inch outdoor screen designed for game-day gatherings.
As noted in CultureMap’s coverage, the menu features the same Cajun and Gulf Coast–inspired offerings that have made BB’s Tex-Orleans a crawfish destination across Texas, including build-your-own seafood boils, year-round crawfish, gumbo, fried seafood, wings, and signature po’boys. The Beaumont location also includes a full cocktail program and interior bar seating.
The restaurant opened in spring 2026 as the brand’s 12th location. While future markets are always under evaluation, Bassler noted that the company’s immediate focus is on establishing strong roots in the Beaumont and greater East Texas community.
