“Marais was wonderful! My CuzzoBestieSisteriend was in town from California. I wanted to try a new spot and have some bestie time! I selected the perfect spot!! MARAIS!!! Walking up to the venue, jazz music was playing. This put me in my happy zone immediately!! It set the mood right out the gate. We were seated with no wait. We made a reservation. Nick was our server. He was very personable. Top notch table maintenance and follow-up! Now, let's talk about the delicious food! We had the $40 brunch buffet. We felt it was as worth it! I tried the following: gumbo, bacon, sausage, hash potatoes, chicken & waffles, fried fish, greens, smoked salmon, boiled shrimp, grits..,,whewwww! I didn't get to enjoy the omelet station or the carving station. More reason to return...AND WE WILL! We washed it down with mimosas with OJ and PJ! Tasty tasty. We couldn't believe a full bottle of was only $10. I was expecting a champagne split not bottle! There is a bar area right off of the buffet lines. The bar has swings!! Like “when you were a kid” swings!! Also, there is patio seating too! Live jazz music was playing the entire time we were there! Again, another reason to return!! Great experience all the way around! I can't wait to return!! Thank you Maya for recommending trying Marais!! Great choice!!“

“I want to say how AMAZING this place is! I booked a birthday dinner for my boyfriend and the owner called me personally and spoke with me and made sure that she decorated our table personally and even got us a private room (which I had no idea was going to happen)! When we arrived, there were beautiful balloons, candles and a stunning room filled with low lights and music. Her husband even came in to make sure everything was to our liking and the waitress (Chloe) was outstanding! I cannot say how wonderful each and every person was that night and how great the food was as well. We will for sure be regular customers at this restaurant for years to come! Thank you so much to the owners and the staff....You made us feel like royalty! God bless you guys!“

“Stopped in for a quick Breakfast and I have to say Randi was absolutely amazing! Hands down the best service. My 3 year old is autistic so we try not to go out to often. She made us feel so welcomed and accommodated him perfectly! I will definitely be coming back to see her! Service was outstanding!“

“This Cheddars is definitely my family's and i preferred to go spot over any of the others ! April and Steve has this place structured and in tact with much respect from the staff ! April sticks her neck out for any staff member that screws up just to make sure the customers are satisfied...literally she doesn't miss ! The hospitality is great, Kailyn is always so bubbly and sweet, luv her little energy ! Keep up the good work guys, very much so appreciated 🤗“

“I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Emily, the bartender at Scotty’s Pub! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and genuinely taken care of. Her warm energy and professionalism stood out immediately, and it set the tone for the entire night.

Emily was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. She anticipated what we needed before we even asked—whether it was a drink refill, a menu recommendation, or just a friendly check-in. Her knowledge of the drink menu was impressive, and she crafted each cocktail with care and precision. You could tell she takes pride in what she does.

Beyond just the drinks, Emily made the entire experience more enjoyable. She was friendly, personable, and had just the right amount of conversation to make us feel like regulars, even though it was our first time there. She struck that perfect balance of being professional yet approachable.

It’s not often that service truly enhances your night out, but Emily absolutely did. We left feeling like we had just been hosted by a friend rather than just another bartender. If you’re visiting Scotty’s, do yourself a favor and sit with Emily when she’s working—you won’t regret it.

Thank you, Emily, for an unforgettable experience. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Went for the first time on Sunday. Upon entering, we approached the check in/ cashier desk. Wait staff were walking back & forth as we stood & no one said a word. No greeting, not we will be right with you. Not a word! One young lady ( Wish I would have gotten her name) she was sitting right there, preparing serving utensils. She did not say a word as we stood there. I've never felt so uncomfortable, unwelcome, & disregarded! Never! Finally, another wait staff that was helping over at the check out computer, walked over & asked the young lady who was sitting there to assist us! Still, not a word to us! The young lady stood up & with the worse attitude, she asked did we want to sit inside or outside. While I was asking my husband his preference, she rolled her eyes & and rudely asked , " Inside or out!? Again, I wish I had asked her name, but she appeared to be the youngest. Between being disregarded as we walked in & stood, and her attitude, I told my husband I was uncomfortable & wanted to leave! He pushed back & said let's give it a chance beyond this! So we stayed & were seated outside as we preferred. Then comes our waitress! What a pleasant surprise & she turned our experience around! We learned that she had not been there but 3 days or 3 weeks. ( I forget) her name is Amanda & she is pregnant. She's such a pleasant & nice person! We felt badly for sitting outside, because she worked so diligently. It was quite a walk in the heat, because we chose to sit outside on the pier that was a bit of a walk. Again, she was so pleasant & professional! The drinks & food are superb! From the oyster 🦪 appetizers, to the platters! Delicious! Some of the best seafood & side orders, ever! Truly! Drinks are flavorful, delicious, and they aren't stingy or scarce with the liquor. 😆 I would absolutely visit again, but truly afraid of the treatment, unless it's Amanda again“

“Our waitress was fabulous. Food was great , service was fast enjoyed“

“Had a wonderful dinner with my son home from college tonight. Chicken kebab was so good. His beef and lamb gyro he said was amazing. The fire feta is a must have every time. Had great conversation with Ms. Maria, the owner. She’s precious. Can’t wait to go back. It’s always so good and the staff so welcoming.“

“Delicious experience!! I enjoyed every bite!!“

“Not only is the food hot and quick but the owners drop kicks are too! Been supporting them for YEARS And FOR SURE gonna keep doing it!!!“

“This place is a must-try, if visiting Kemah, TX! The food was amazing! We had the Armadillo Eggs as an appetizer....perfect recommendation by our server. I had a steak finger basket...great sampling of their chicken fried steak in strip form (So tender!) Hubby had Tom's Choice Ribeye steak...great flavor and grilled to perfection! The portions are huge! The prices are reasonable. We easily made 2 meals out of our orders. The staff is friendly & the atmosphere is very unique since Kemah Broadwalk is within walking distance!!“

“good taste and large portions.“

“Wow — one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! I ordered the chilaquiles plate half Verde, half Roja and topped it with fajita beef… and let me tell you, that fajita meat sent it over the edge. So much flavor and perfectly tender. I also grabbed a side of corned beef hash — if you’re a corned beef lover, this is the one. Crunchy on the outside, packed with flavor, and paired with the best grilled onions. My husband went with the chicken fried steak plate. The steak is tenderized and made fresh to order, and the gravy was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place. The service was top-notch, and TAMMY did an incredible job welcoming everyone into the diner!“

“do not get the pizza. The crust is so hard it could possibly break your teeth used to have the best crust in town but something happened crust is too dense, not fluffy and crisp. The way it used to be.“

“Great lunch menu with plenty of delish food. Chip was so good and tender!“

“stopped by here for the first time at the recommendation of a friend to try the steak and onion poboy and it didn't disappoint.
