Ask ten people where to find the best gumbo in Houston and you’ll likely get ten different answers — a debate BB’s Tex-Orleans is always happy to be part of. Houstonia Magazine featured BB’s among the city’s standout spots to get your gumbo fix.

At the core of every great gumbo is the roux: a patient base of fat and flour cooked low and slow until it’s just the right color and depth. From there, the choices spark friendly arguments — dark roux or light, thick or thin, seafood or meat or both, rice or no rice. Everyone has an opinion, and that’s half the fun of a Cajun classic.

However you like your bowl built, BB’s makes gumbo the Cajun way: from scratch, every day, rooted in Maw Maw’s family recipe that helped start the whole Tex-Orleans story back in 2007. It’s a year-round staple alongside our boiled seafood, po’boys on French bread, jambalaya, and the rest of our Cajun classics.

That from-scratch commitment carries through every BB’s across the Houston area and into Southeast Texas, season in and season out.
