My friend and I were just looking for a good spot to eat nearby, and that’s how we stumbled across The Backyard Boil House, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like family. Not just customers, but genuinely welcomed. Everyone from the server to the bartender, the chef, and even the extra staff was incredibly kind and attentive. The ambiance is something special. It gives this laid-back, almost “on a boat” vibe, with a bar area and a huge outdoor patio that honestly pictures won’t do justice. And the food? Absolutely unforgettable. My friend had the catfish and grits, I ordered the shrimp po’boy, and we shared fried okra and creamed spinach. Every single bite melted in my mouth. The flavors, the seasoning, the overall experience it left such a strong first impression that I’m still thinking about it. They’ve definitely gained a forever customer.

First of all, this place is a hidden gem. I was recommended by another restaurant (GATLINS feathers & fins) I’d like to “gatekeep” this restaurant but at the same time, I need you to PERSONALLY experience this place. Overall this place is Very cozy, intimate, and clean. The CATFISH ATCHAFALAYA, fried oysters, and fried snapper w/ shrimp were made with detail and care. The sauces (Alfredo cream, etouffeè) seemed like it was made by the order because I was asked abt the spice level we could handle. The grits were excellent as well. The drinks and the glass choice were top tier in presentation and taste. The service was refreshing and welcoming while the decor set the atmosphere. There’s also a nice outdoor patio setup. Yes, please come…just not while I’m there. Definitely a date night spot.

A taste for fried fish led me into a search for the best fried fish in Houston. We opted to try this place because it has great reviews and stays open until 10pm. When I walked in, I was greated immediately by the kind owners and a wonderfully delicious aroma! The establishment is cozy and intimate, super clean, and very inviting. The menu offers a variety of options from po-boys to spaghetti and everything Cajun in between. As a huge fan of New Orleans and Cajun style cuisine, I am generally very skeptical of so called Cajun restaurants in Houston as I've been disappointed many times. But Backyard Boil House has made a believer of me! Not only was I blown away by the flavors, the portion sizes and presentation were top tier! The fried catfish was light, perfectly cooked, and seasoned to perfection. I got the catfish and grits and can honestly say that I've never had grits like that before! The combination of the fried catfish and creamy grits was extraordinary. Everything we tried, even the salad, was perfectly seasoned (not salty). I was completely impressed and look forward to going back and trying other dishes! Parking is a challenge, but if you can find a way to visit, it is certainly worth it!

We were greeted as we walked in the door by a family-centered business bent on feeding us outstanding creole food. And it did not disappoint. From Crab Rice to Shrimp and Grits, the entire experience felt like home. Well done Backyard Boil House! Well done!

I saw this place on channel 2 “Eat Like a Local” and knew we had to try it. We drove from Rosenberg +\- 40 minutes and IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE! We ordered: •The House salad. I know what you’re thinking, it’s just a basic salad….NOPE. The dressing is sooo good I’m gonna dream about it. •GUMBEAUX in an xl bowl (to bring leftovers for later lol. Sad thing is there wasn’t that much leftover to bring whomp whomp). It was so delicious. Sitting outside and we could smell it outside as it was being made, it made our mouths water. •Cheeseburger, this had a cheddar gouda mix we did not get to try. Kiddo don’t like cheese. I know this is a seafood place but my kiddo wanted a burger. I figured Eh a burger I didn’t expect much it’s just a burger…..I was so wrong. This was hands down the best burger I’ve ever had thus far. My kiddo said, “this was a happy cow!” It was that good. •Catfish & Shrimp. It was sooo dang good even the kiddo who doesn’t care for seafood (ordered the burger) finished off the catfish. The super picky 2yr old devoured the shrimp (and that one doesn’t like anything)! •Seafood Pasta. This is penne with shrimp and crab meat in Cajun sauce. The presentation was beautiful but the taste was just as wonderful. We ordered a variety of different plates to try (share) and each one that was brought out seemed to get better and better. We finished eating and were trying to process what just happened. It was all so delicious, we all over ate and were bordering a food coma. We were recommended the homemade banana pudding……UHMMM EXCUSE MEEE!!! How is this even legal?! I only ordered 2 to go, BIG MISTAKE. Once we had a taste everyone was fighting for more. This stuff is deliciously addictive. This place is phenomenal. The menu was created with love and passion and every dish is hand crafted with magic. You simply must try.
