Better off at Long John Silvers – I used to enjoy going to the Dutchman. The past few times I have gone I have been very disappointed. The only nice thing I can say is that the outdoor seating is nice. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for our appetizer, the shrimp looked as if they had been frozen for years and tasted like it too. I had the broiled fish platter and found it to be inedible ; the scallops were rubbery, the shrimp tasteless, and the fish was not fresh, I could not even enjoy the broccoli which tasted as if it had... read more
One of the best on the boardwalk – I have a like/dislike relationship with this restaurant. My kids like it though - usually their first choice when in Kemah. There is a gross smell, like old tar and wet wood. and the bar is right at the front where you have to walk through the cigarette smell if there is a smoker at the bar. (I don't have anything against smokers but do dislike the smell, lol) I always think of "The crusty crab" when we are there. Most indoor and outdoor tables have great views of the boats going by, as wel... read more
GOOD BYE FLYING DUTCHMAN – For many years (25-30) I have enjoyed the Flying Dutchman Restaurant (under the original owners and the new regime) upstairs but, the last few times I have been there, the service and food has not been the same. THIS FOUR STAR RESTAURANT IS NOW STARLESS. My favorite for years was the Dijon Shrimp dish but the last time I was there, I had over cooked vegetables and the shrimp were soggy. The waiter spilled a portion of my wine and did not offer to top it off. My guests were also not enthusiastic wit... read more
Go there if you want to get ripped off. – It wasn't busy and we had to wait to be seated. Once we were seated we had to wait to order. It took too long for our drinks to come. The ice in our drinks had pretty much melted by the time we got them that's how long it took. It was another half hour before we got our appetizer. The oysters were not fresh, and that's when we asked for our check. It took another 15 minutes for that, and when we recieved our change back they had shorted us on our change. It was really bad service all... read more
for a laid-back seafood experience – this is a real "hole-in-the-wall" type of place for swashbuckling pirates ... the decor is extremely laid-back, touched with seafaring treasures and trinkets. the seafood is decent and quite average ... but it'll be satisfying to the palette. the location is it's highlight: located on the bustling kemah boardwalk. overall, it is an ok dining experience, but enjoyable if you're with a group of friends.*
average seafood – Average seafood in enjoyable surroundings Other seagood restaurants have better vie of the bay and gulf and better food steak in a seafood restaurant is tolerable Quality is inconsistent
Best Seafood – My favorite place to eat seafood and enjoy the surroundings. The stuffed Flounder is very good and much better and less expensive than another establishment close by. Great place to go with friends and enjoy the day!
Bypass Dutchman and go to Landrys – My fiance and I went there to meet our wedding party of 6 for a "pre happy hour" before meeting up with our families for our rehersal dinner. It was not busy, but we could not get seats at the bar because the wait staff was seated at the bar doing their paper work. Along side with the so called young female supervisor. Who had the loudest and most vulgar mouth out of any of them. We all stood around waiting for them to notice us so that they would move, but they just ignored us! The guys l... read more
User review by kceltic23 – The view was average and the food was tasteless and pricey.
