13 Best American Restaurants in Kemah

“Wonderful 9 course experience where the chef and staff treat you like you reserved the whole restaurant. The team spends 7 days a week preparing for the special tasting menus. They also take time to ask about any allergies or other preferences. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and friendly. Take your time to enjoy the experience and bring your friends and family because it is worth every penny!“

“The food was really good tonight! Thanks for serving us👍🏼“

“Scotty’s Bar and Grill is an awesome spot. The food, service, and overall atmosphere were all top notch. Everyone was attentive and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great experience.

Dina, the owner, is a rock star. She was out on the floor making sure everything was running smoothly and that people were getting their food and drinks quickly, which really stood out.

The bar staff makes great drinks and the pricing is very reasonable. They also have live music on the weekends with some really talented performers, which adds a great vibe.

Highly recommend checking this place out. It’s a great local spot and definitely one I’ll be coming back to.“

“I did an online order for this new location, and honestly this was the best little ceasers I had in a long time. Usually when I go to other locations the food be okay and dont be fresh and hot, but this location had my food hot & fresh, and it was good!“

“My husband is working here in Texas and we came by 2/17/26 for supper and it was amazing. The steak was great, the brisket was way better than our bbq place back home and the ribs were great. The BBQ sauce was to die for. I had ordered the sausage but then was told it was sold out which was okay because we came around 9pm. We tried all the things that diners drive in and dives tried. Let’s just say if my husband comes back to this part of Texas we will be back ohhh and let’s not forget the armadillo eggs those things was amazing my husband have talked about how good they were all night and day. This is a must try place!!!!“

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

“I recently checked out Tookie's Seafood and had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy some good seafood. I ordered the Gulf red snapper along with the fried alligator and kept it simple with a couple of bottled waters. The snapper was fresh and cooked just right flavorful, tender, and definitely the standout of the meal. The fried alligator was a fun addition too, crispy on the outside and nicely seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable time. It felt like a place that cares about both the food and the customer experience. Overall, I would recommend Tookie’s Seafood if you’re looking for fresh, well prepared seafood in a laid back setting. I would definitely come back.“

“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!“

“Great menu and a great environment overall I definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.“

“Very friendly atmosphere, delicious breakfast, courteous service. The staff is very personable. I will definitely visit again to try other items on the menu! 👍🏾“

There was a photobolth, tattoos, friendship bracelets, themed drinks and food!!! I had a blast it was so much fun! The food was insanely good, and came out super fast!!! I will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for this event!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and prompt, friendly service. We were treated as if we were at a small, upscale family restaurant. Highly recommend Rob as a server. Tidal wave cocktail and the broiled fisherman’s platter were excellent. Can’t wait to come back.“
