“My husband and I had an absolutely delightful time. Chef Skinner and his team prepared a delicious 19-course tasting menu featuring different Indigenous dishes.It was interesting learning the history behind each dish alongside each unique flavor. Describing the dishes really does not justice to the flavor - these ranged from corn soup to morel mushroom fried skewers to rainbow trout on native US wild rice. Each dish was just sublime. Legitimately each dish that came out we were surprised to find it as tasty as the dish before. We personally do not like artichoke or cauliflower - but even these were prepared nicely and worth trying. My husband absolutely *despises* beans and yet he had multiple helpings of the bean soup. It was really shocking to see him enjoying eating beans. We do not drink often, but the drinks we had were beautifully prepared and smooth. Everything was perfectly flavored. The staff were kind and the restaurant space was beautiful. I never write reviews, but we loved our experience so much I needed to share. I cannot recommend enough, and we look forward to coming again.”

“If my friend didn’t work here I am unsure if I ever would have came to Scotty’s considering I live in Clear Lake. However since I have came I have been so welcomed! Scotty cares about his establishment and he is so kind towards his customers! Scotty’s also offers a variety of events in the evening which is always fun. The food is always yummy with great food from Jordan and Eduardo, and drinks by Jessica! 🫶🏻 I always look forward to coming here!”

9 PATRON BREAKFAST DINER

4.8 Superb 136 Reviews

1201 TX-146 Ste A, Kemah

“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!”

“Visited the Aquarium in Kemah this past Saturday. It was an immersive experience from the moment we entered the restaurant. The atmosphere immediately takes you into the depths of the ocean. Loved the ambience and being able to admire all the life as we enjoyed our dinner. The star of the evening was our waiter, Rob (aka mustache guy). It was apparent he thoroughly enjoys what he does and applies his joy in how he treats his customers. He was full of friendly banter, informative about our options and willing to assist in a photo for us. So impressed with our meal. It was a wonderful, dining experience.”

“Went to little Ceasars today. I tried to use the 3 off if you spend $18 or more. Mabi, the manager, Melissa and erica was so kind and friendly about how to use the discount 🤔she explained it with such care and patience... sorry guys, it's an online only discount deal. Mrs Mabi gave me some sauce instead, hat's off the manager and her crew... thank you little Ceasars”

“What an experience. The Clear Lake Shores Police Department has set up a high-intensity policing area. If you visit local businesses, make sure you look both directions before doing anything. They like to sit in local parking lots, watch stop signs, turns, traffic lights, everything - handing out citations left and right. It really puts a damper on experiences knowing that when you leave, you have a high probability of immediately getting pulled over. What's a few hundred dollars, right? We can all afford a ticket to visit a great restaurant or venue. Make sure you salute the boys in blue. Protect and serve, right? Make sure you try their drinks here.”
