Must visit seafood restaurant at Kemah Boardwalk. Just like Boardwalk, restaurant is also very well decorated. Salmon was just right. My wife's first ever endeavor with cran. Our server, Megan was kind enough to teach her to break open crab!

Rhonda took fantastic care of my family and I! She was very nice and attentive! Only issue we had was the Cajun boil we got wasn’t spicy but she was very quick to get us some seasoning and it made everything better!!
Rhonda also helped me when I was having a low blood sugar by swiftly getting me some oj. (Thank you again!!) Will definitely be back to see her!! Make sure to ask for Rhonda!!!

I rated this place 1 star overall because from the beginning the table they gave us was very wobbly, then they moved us to another table that was super dirty with crumbs of food and dirty napkins and underneath the table was even worse! So we had to stand there and waited until someone finally cleaned up the table and swept! Then it took a long time for our server to come to us and then took even longer for our drinks to come! After our server gave our drinks, they sat a group on the table in front of us and then another group behind us and we have already been sitting for 20 minutes or so and our server took the other tables orders after we have been waiting to order! Then while ordering,3 of us wanted the shrimper's heaven and then our server finally tells us they don't have enough fried shrimp so now we have to rush to look for what else to order! I ended up getting the dumb luck coconut shrimp and I was very disappointed because the serving was way less than an appetizer! It came with very little fries and even asking the server if this was all it was and she said she will ask the manager but she never came back with answers! It was a horrible experience! I left the place disappointed and still hungry!

Me and my husband was trying something new in our on ciry for once. The wait time was about 15 to 29 minutes, food came out luke warm, i ask for broccoli instead of fries, they had to bring some out. I got the fish, shrimp hushpuppies, two sides, my husband got the steak, broccoli, and shrimp. After the wait, the waitress was not coming back checking on her tables, other than when we changes the sign to red. I had to ask her for refills on our tea. Her tables was sitting waiting, not worth tipping. The manager loik tied, he assist when needed. I high would not recommend or come back. I know as being a part of landrys, that's not how they work. Women restroom was dirty, trash bin was over filled. I wish we would of chose somewhere else. Much coaching and training is needed. Not a good way to start our Birthday tomorrow.
Our total was 79.00
I do have pics of the restroom and my receipt.

Came to eat here , have been here previously, this time the service was great , Brandon did a great job at keeping up with the service and continiously asking if everything was good and reminded us about our daughter that did not order if she was going to get a plate of her own, the little details matter, great Job!
