Crying Shame!!! – This was once the coolest place on the Kemah Boardwalk. The fine dining place upstairs is now a sushi bar, and a good one at that, but ...I miss the old Dutchman. The food at the new place was not much better than Joe's Crab Shack next door. The staff at Joe's is probably better than the one at Flying Dutchman. I went to Joe's Crab Shack on the Boardwalk 2 days ago and I have to say the food and service was better. I am here for wine festival and I don't think I will ever come back. You can have so -so food... read more
Good Attempt and Nice Changes – We ate at The Flying Dutchman on the Kemah Boardwalk last weekend, and found it to be very enjoyable. They have made several nice decor changes since Hurricane Ike. They now have an outdoor bar with Adirondack chairs circling a nice gas firepit, along with new outdoor table furnishings. The inside has also been remodeled to now include a new waiting area, new lighting fixtures and new table seating. The menu has also been revamped and extended to include more fresh fish options. I ordered the ... read more
Great service, delicious pecan pie! – The hostess was sweet, and the waiter was great, very friendly and accommodating. The manager even came by to check on us, even though the place was getting busy. Our food came out so quickly, I had just barely finished my salad. I had the panko-crusted salmon with dill tzatziki and my husband had the stuffed flounder with crab meat topping. Both came with rice pilaf and veggies (brocolli and red bell pepper) which were nothing fancy, but they were lightly seasoned and enjoyable. The fis... read more
NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE IKE!! – We have been dining at The Flying Dutchman since we moved to Houston 20 years ago. Our favorite was always the Snapper Strips basket, the only place we've every known to serve this! We were so disappointed when we dined there on Mar. 28 and found not only a new menu (with no snapper strips), but the fried entrees also have a different breading, not nearly as tasty. When we inquired about the snapper not being on the menu, the waitress said "no problem, the ktichen can prepare that for you." Whe... read more
Overpriced and Under Cooked – Screaming children running around, raw food being served and seeing my waitress four times when it was not a busy nite made my experience special. I did get to see a manager as he replaced my raw shrimp, he apologized and left never to return again to check on our satisfaction. I have had better service and customer skills shown at a Burger King than by the staff of The Flying Dutchman. The manager left so quickley I didn't get a chance to tell him I chipped a tooth on my apatizer not that I thi... read more
WARNING! AWFUL SERVICE AT THE LEAST!!!!! – Waited 25 minutes and had to ask for a waiter. There were 5 waiters working 6 - 7 tables so it wasn't like they were busy. Most waiters just standing around. Food was not near as good as pre IKE. Waiter knew we were dissatisfied and did NOTHING to change our mind. Had to ask the manager for our bill. Manager just made excuses for the bad service. At the very least he could have offered to comp anything, don't just make excuses. We use to go there often, but will not go there again. ... read more
Fresh and perfectly cooked seafood; terrific key lime pie – I visited the Flying Dutchman Restaurant 7/4/08 with my sister and brother-in-law. We enjoyed an excellent view from inside the restaurant in the corner of the window walls. All of our seafood was perfectly cooked, and excellent in taste. The key lime pie was the best ever! Our server was attentive and courteous. I hope to return the next time I visit my family in Pearland. To eat at the Flying Dutchman has become a tradition.
Fl;ying Dutchman Kemah Tx. – I cant believe the reviews I have read! I grew up in Kemah Tx and my mother,brother, sister and I worked for the Flying Dutchman when owned by Frans and Diane G. they made the Flying Dutchman what it WAS! I am very sorry to hear that the new owners have taken the true meaning of Fun, Fine Elegant Dining away from the Flying Dutchman. I am also sorry that previous reviewers never had the chance to experience the original owners excellence in providing the best Seafood and Service in Texas. Best of... read more
not impressed by any means – I have been told for 3 years to go to the Dutchman and I finally did and took my mother-in-law and grandfather with me. I'm now sorry i did. We ordered the clam chowder and it showed up ice cold. It took 10 min. to get the waitress to get more hot soup. When I ordered the broiled seafood plater i asked the waitress about the "seasoning" on the food and she said it was just like a pinch of salt. I told her i was concerned cause i have a stomach problem and can't have any spices at all. I told her ... read more
