LanDreaux's Creole & Cajun Seafood is back on the Humble dining map with a fresh name and familiar flavors. After dropping "Landry's" from the branding, owner Andrew Landry says the change officially took effect May 13, following contact from a large corporate restaurant group. On the menu, it is still all about Cajun comfort food: gumbo, crispy fried fish, red beans and rice, and, of course, crawfish.
Owner Says Name Change Followed Corporate Inquiry
In a May 13 Facebook post, Landry told customers he had been contacted "by a large corporate restaurant group regarding the use of our name" and stressed that using "Landry's" was never intended to mislead anyone. According to Community Impact, Landry said the switch to LanDreaux's was his way of sidestepping a potential legal fight while still keeping his family identity front and center in the brand.
Soft Opening, Menu And What To Expect
The restaurant quietly started serving again in a soft-opening run in mid-April, based on social media posts rounded up by HoustonDine. Those posts and other local coverage point to seafood gumbo, seasoned Cajun seafood, crispy fried fish, red beans and rice, and crawfish as early standouts for anyone testing out the refreshed spot.
Local Roots: The Owner's Earlier Project
LanDreaux's is not Landry's first crack at a neighborhood Cajun joint. He previously ran Juicy Heads & Spicy Tails in Humble, a concept that Community Impact profiled when it debuted in 2023. The outlet highlighted Landry's long history cooking crawfish and building a local following, and the new restaurant marks his return to an independent Cajun concept anchored in that same community support.
Trademark Pressure And Rebrand Choices
Small restaurants often end up rebranding after they receive demands over names or logos, since trademark rights can still be enforced even without a federal registration. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office outlines how those rights arise and how trademark owners may move to enforce them, a process that can nudge mom-and-pop spots like LanDreaux's into picking a new name rather than gearing up for a legal battle.
