Ask ten Houstonians where to find the best gumbo and you’ll get ten passionate answers — so it means a lot that Houstonia Magazine included BB’s Tex-Orleans on its list of the city’s top spots for a bowl.

Gumbo is personal at BB’s. Ours is made from Maw Maw’s recipe, the same Louisiana family formula that helped start the entire Tex-Orleans story, and it’s cooked fresh every single day. A great gumbo begins with a patient roux — that slow-cooked base of fat and flour that gives the dish its depth — and it’s a step we refuse to rush. From there comes the holy trinity, the seasoning, and the seafood or meat that make each bowl sing.

Whether you lean toward a dark, rich roux or something a touch lighter, Cajun gumbo is about comfort and a sense of home in every spoonful. At BB’s it shares the menu with boiled crawfish, dressed po’boys, jambalaya, and the rest of our Cajun classics — a year-round staple rather than a seasonal one.

That from-scratch approach is exactly what BB’s has been about since 2007, and it carries through every location across the Houston area and Southeast Texas.
