Being a frequent visitor to Louisiana, I wanted to find a great creole restaurant in north east Houston. Cafe Rian definitely fits the bill. The food is delicious and the staff is cordial and attentive. I like to sit at the bar area on Fridays, and it's a great atmosphere with a few regulars that attend with a good vibe!

The service was great And the place was packed but in a good way. The greeter was helpful and the owner and manager came to assist and greet my husband. He went to place orders for us and I stayed on the phone. He even told me when the head chef came from the back to personally hand him our food. I laughed as he burnt his thigh in the car because our food was cooked to order and handed to him HOT and fresh just how we like it!

Food & Ambiance -All good, fresh food ,good music... vibe on point, yes yes... Great drinks. Just a great visit.

Cafe Rian's NEVER FAILS !!!! The food is ALWAYS BOMB whether you eat in or order to go. The portion and the flavor is going to satisfy. Chef's kiss every single time . I've had the boudin balls, egg rolls, spinach dip, crawfish "CA-SO", Bam Bam shrimp Red beans and rice, Mardi Gras Potato, and a couple of the pastas ! Let's not even start on the drinks Side note: There's also a Rian's Seafood Grill in the heights area

Really Cool Atmosphere! Loved The Live Music! Amazing Food! And Awesome Staff! Very Professional and Attentive! The food is so delicious! I Live In Lafayette, La and like to try different "Louisiana/Cajun" Restaurants as I travel... Rian DEFINITELY did not disappoint! I had the Crawfish Caso as an appetizer and the comfort trio as an Entree... All were crazy good!! Some different flavors I guess maybe more from the New Orleans area, but definitely delicious! Thank Y'll for the Excellent Experience!

Came here for happy hour. It seemed a little small, but they do have a patio and bar area to sit at. The happy hour menu was decently priced... the drinks were good. The food was good except the gumbo was a little lackluster. The service was ok... a little slow but mainly waiting for drinks from the bar. I would definitely go back to try other food on the menu.

I was told this place was phenomenal, so we trecked an hour away to try it! As soon as we arrived we were greeted so warmly by the owner! She was so sweet. I loved the fact that this place had an outdoor seating as well, especially for crawsfish. We ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was not really attentive but we ended up starting off with the boudin eggrolls. Which were so crispy and delicious! For entree's I ordered the Rian's Pontchartrain and my friend ordered the Big Easy. The portion sizes were humungous. The Rian's Pontchartrain was good, the dirty rice was so good! But the Big Easy was even better. The fish was so good and the etoufee was unforgettable! Highly recommend!

If you love Cajun food, this is the place to go. The menu you will be overwhelming because it so many good options. Unless you are in the mood for something specific. I'll just start by saying I loved everything I had accept the boudin egg rolls. This place is a win and I recommend you start with the trio - gumbo, red beans, ettoufee Kids meals catfish was so good I almost changed my order. It's fried fish with seasoned fries. Oysters on the half shell- Oyster brioche - surprisingly very tasty. Mardi Gras potato- I don't think I'd ever be able to finish one of these myself because it's so filling and rich in flavor. Wings - solid 4/5 If you can hold your liquor get the rajan Cajun. I tried ménage à trois, but it wasn't as strong. The service was fine. Nothing extraordinary, but she was nice. The restaurant is very chill. Nothing fancy.

My family and I had a great dinner here! We didn't make any reservations prior, but thankfully they were able to seat our party of 14 all together. I tried their boudin balls, fish platter, red beans and rice, shrimp etouffe, and gumbo. The boudin balls had a nice crunchy outside and were soft on the inside. Their fried fish platter was a large portion and cooked to perfection. The red beans and rice were good, but my favorite was the shrimp etouffe! It was creamy and flavorful. We really enjoyed how everything came out piping hot. I also tried their Hennessy lemon drop cocktail, which had me all inspired to recreate it at home! It was a well balanced drink. Service was very attentive, and my family liked how they decorated for Mardi Gras. We'd definitely return when back in the area.
