Great atmosphere! Roux in the gumbo and the #5 was seasoned well. Unfortunately my gumbo had undercooked shrimp.

Great food!!!
When you order some gumbo, you should expect a real roux just like this! Only natives of Louisiana could've mastered it this way! We've ordered twice in the last two weeks and now we're regulars‼️ Authentic, delicious and you can tell they made your food out of a true passion for food. It's absolutely delicious 😋

Was visiting from out of state. The very nice lady behind the counter gave me some good suggestions on what to order and was super nice and kind. Said she hoped I liked the food and would return. I’d like her to know if I’m ever in San Antonio again I’ll definitely be back. The food was great!!! The cost wasn’t bad I did get two desserts too!!
Here is the best Cajun food I have ever had. From New Orleans to Houston nothing better can beat Nuttin Betta as the place to go. My wife and I both had the Betta Trio and got ettufee, red beans and rice, gumbo, dirty rice and hush puppies. The food was so good we were still talking about it an hour later. The building seems like whole in the wall, but you would be wrong. Clean and bright with great themed decor that made me feel like I was in the right spot when we came looking for Cajun cooking. The staff we amazing too, with a level of hospitality that made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We ate until we could barely eat another bite, and were still looking at fish for the next trip back. An affordable place with fair portions made me glad to have stopped in. Come by any and everyone for food that is full of flavor, and warm your soul.

Wow! This has to be the best Fried Catfish I’ve ever had! Even fancy places like Arcadians, seafood restaurants or those by oceans, local or abroad, nope, never as perfectly cooked so much that I had to meet the Chef!
Prices were competitive, customer service was excellent. I looked around and this place is filthy. I sat in an imitation wood table which was fine, I had no problem with that. It was the filthy walls, the stained furniture that was forgotten by time and years of neglect, not ever making contact with a wipe, soap, disinfectant, etc. I could not believe the poor conditions of my surroundings especially the grimmy furniture that obviously the curb might even reject. And it’s a shame too because the food for the most part was a strong 8. The only reason I’m not giving a 5 Stars is because the coleslaw lacked everything, presentation, taste, and quality. They’ve got so much going with the Menu though, then enters the ugly tasteless coleslaw or whatever that was, then the eyesore of the most filthy, dirty, stained, furniture I’ve ever seen in any establishment. I’m 74 yrs old so I didn’t just start dinning out. I discreetly took one picture. But it just does not do the sad condition of the furniture all around any justice.

First and foremost, I would like to say that we waited in the parking lot for a little over 36 minutes just so that we can support a black business. I will say that the guy with the gold in his mouth came to the door and let us know that they did not open until noon and then when we walked in, he did apologize for the wait so he was good customer service. However, the gentleman at the counter was not. I explained to him what I wanted, I told him that I had never been to their establishment and I wanted the signature picture on the outside of the restaurant with the grilled shrimp We also ordered a Friday fried fish special. The wait time was not excessively long, but it was long giving that we were amongst the first people to order so once the food was ready, they gave us our bags. I walked to the car and I opened it and to my surprise it was not grilled fish. It was fried fish, so I took it back in and explained to him that this is not what I ordered. I ordered grilled fish. His response was it comes fried and you have to tell us that you want it grill now earlier I told you that I told him I wanted the picture on the outside with the grilled shrimp so that’s me specify that I want grill After I told him that his response was, he don’t know what’s on the picture outside of the restaurant never apologized never took accountability. Ask for my plate back. They went on to prepare the plate again and this is the result. The pictures below not only did the food come out burnt. It stinks like burnt and it’s very small portions that you get from this place and on top of that, the food was not to my desired liking and I’m a leave it at that… It’s like they take a spoon of rice and thin it out on the bottom then they put the small piece of burnt fish on with these medium thick burn burnt shrimp and the thick supposedly crawfish étouffée. Let me add. I have never had New Orleans food that taste this horrible it’s an edible so that was a waste of $23 and on top of that they have poor customer service not one time did they apologize for the inconvenience ,offer something to drink, nothing so I will not be returning there and I will let others know about my experience and how tacky the service was and how disgusting the food was

Outstanding every single time!
I’ve been here several times, and I’m never disappointed. The customer service is always top-notch — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food is consistently fresh and absolutely delicious! The fish and shrimp are seasoned and seared to perfection.
But that dirty rice and crawfish étouffée? They’ve got me in a chokehold — seriously addictive! If you’re looking for great food, amazing service, and flavor that keeps you coming back, this is the spot!

Love the artwork and music choice for the restaurant, gives a nice vibe. The kool-aid had the sweetness I was looking forward too. The catfish came out hot and fresh, perfectly fried, but lacking a little flavor. The hush puppies were also fried perfectly and seasoned well. The red beans and rice have FLAVOR and a great texture; My favorite dish from this experience. The Mac and cheese wasn't my preference, I would prefer more cheesy. Overall, would definitely visit again to try some more of their soul food, they have seafood boils as well.
