T-Bone Tom's

First time there. We love it. I have a life-threatening allergy to sea food (I can't even smell it), we told the waitress and she managed it great, she told us about the food that it was safe for me to order. She told the manager about it, and he approached us to make sure everything was ok. The food was so good, and the place was clean. I recommend this place 100%.

We came to Tom's for dinner and meats. This place does not disappoint at all. The worst parts were that the place has no official indoor seating it's all covered outdoor seats with fans running so on the hotter days it is probably a bit rough. There was love music playing and the band was doing a bunch of covers and played very well, they're just over powering while playing so conversations are mostly saved for in between songs or when the band takes a break. The food itself is delicious, with large portions at a very reasonable price. I ate the marbled brisket and sausage which were both exceptional. They came with a smokey bar b cue sauce which went great with both meats, though I preferred only a small hint of sauce. The onion rings were delicious and filling. I had to share them with my party to finish them off. If the weather isn't too hot, this restaurant is a must. Probably worth it even when it's hot too.

After a day at the Space Center Houston, we stopped by T-Bone Tom’s in Kemah for dinner. A close friend of ours that used to live in this area recommended T-Bone Tom’s to us. There was no wait, and we were seated right away. As soon as you walk in, you can tell this place has been here for a while (the menu said “since 1974”) and there’s a really good vibe to the place. Our server, Amy, was awesome! She was friendly and attentive. Since it was our first time here, we had questions about the menu and Amy helped us pick our entrees. She made it a very enjoyable dining experience! We started with the Fried Mushrooms, which comes with house-made ranch dressing. This is a large portion of breaded, deep-fried mushrooms and it was good. The ranch dressing was great. For our main courses, we got the regular portion Chicken Fried Steak (gravy on the side) with onion rings and corn and the T-Bone Steak with a side salad and fries. The CFS was lightly breaded and very tender. We tried it with both white gravy (shown in the photo) and brown gravy. I liked it with the more traditional white gravy, but my wife liked it with the brown gravy. Just ask, they’ll bring out both for you to try! This was really good CFS, and I can see why it is one of their bestsellers. The fried onion rings were very good (with more of the ranch dressing!) and the corn was also good. With our appetizer, the regular sized portion was perfect….my wife would not have been able to finish the large portion! I ordered the T-Bone steak medium rare, and initially it was a little rarer than I liked. But the manager came around to our table to ask how our food was, and he was happy to take it back and throw it on the grill for a few more minutes. The manager brought it back out to make sure it was exactly how I liked it, and it was perfect. This was a nice piece of meat that had great flavor. The fries were really good also. We had a great meal at T-Bone Tom’s. I highly recommend that you put it on your list of places to eat.

Austin was our server. He was very attentive, friendly, made sure to constantly check on us throughout our meal. Knowledgeable of menu, if he didnt know answer to a question, he would obtain clarification first before providing answer. Food was well prepared, everything was hot upon arrival to table, food was well seasoned. So glad we tried for ourselves instead of going with opinion of someone else who said food was not good.

I ordered Tom's 24 oz T-Bone steak because Tom put it into the restaurant name. So I expected and demanded that this steak blow my mind. I ordered it medium rare with sides of onion rings and potato salad. And it didn't disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly, seasoned to my liking, and tender AF. I could have downed another one. Not because I was hungry, but because it was so good. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a big ol' tasty slab of meat!

This restaurant is laid back and very welcoming. I’ve been there twice and we’ll be taking another trip on Tuesday soon! Prime Rib special 😍 Cooks and waiters are all amazing!

Great place to go when in town! Super large space. It was very crowded, but food and service were awesome. The outdoor patio near the band was perfect!

I ordered a pork chop meal and boy was it great. You get a large portion of food for a great price as well. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu.

5 stars for the food, 5 stars for Blake who was working his very first shift for the very first time at T Bones. He was 1,000 x better than the "seasoned" waiter (I'll leave his name out) that he was shadowing. 0 stars for him, he didn't describe the food or desserts at all, didn't bother to tell us about happy hour, I overheard the waitress at the table next to us describing the happy hour options & describing the desserts to her table, our waiter did none of that. Good job Blake. You already outshine the guy they have you following. We will definitely request your section next time.

We went to T-Bone Tom's for Happy Hour which had great prices on their wine and beer. We had fried pickles for our appetizer, and they were perfectly fried. I had the shrimp cocktail that had a large portion of bay shrimp. I would have preferred three or four large shrimp instead. My hubby had a brisket taco and a fish taco--both had a lot of meat and fish. He said they were both excellent. The ambiance is Texas casual and well done. The service was prompt and pleasant. We will be back.

Brought my Father for Father's Day for a steak and he ordered the chopped steak instead! Overall food was okay, brisket was very good but honestly tasted warmed up as did the ribs. Gumbo was not our favorite. Sides were amazing....mac & cheese is all that m&c should be, creamy, piping hot...very good. Fries tasted homemade, fresh cut, very tasty. Potato salad, coleslaw, green beans all very good. Ordered tea, very good and a few Budweisers. Overall food was okay, I feel could definitely step it up a few notches. I will say though, service was wonderful! Waitress gave great suggestions, we were seated promptly, and manager stopped by our table to check in on our meal. Ambiance was laid back, very inviting. Will we be back, for sure...definitely open to try some other items on the menu.

Came down from HTX and came together for dinner here after an active day. Ordered grilled pork chops, they give you 2. Can't complain for the great hearty portions. My bf got the fried seafood plate. All solid options. The service was attentive and friendly inside and outside had a live band that had the whole patio full, definitely dining their next visit.

After waiting for an hour in the too warm restaurant for our food, the food was poor quality and dry. $20 for 3 low quality ribs and 4 slices of sausage. Do not order the flavorless chicken quesadillas. The beer was warm and we were not offered drink refills on our tea. Never again!

Always great food made better by an awesome team of servers. Portions are a good size, if you leave hungry it's your own fault.

The armadillo eggs were amazing. So was the marinated ribeye steak! The server was extremely helpful and the outdoor dining was great.

10/10 hamburger steak 7/10 Chicken and sausage gumbo Last time I was out here I had the hamburger steak and it was really good. I ordered it again today and it was almost better this time around. The hamburger patty had more char and enhanced the flavor. The Louisiana Purchase appetizer was good but I have had better gumbo. There was a lot of chicken and sausage. The broth lacked some seasoning but when I'm feeling sick, I would love to have this specific gumbo because it's a light flavored broth. We also got our usual order of armadillo eggs and over the years they have been getting smaller in size. I would say when we first came out 10 years ago, they were as big as a pear. Now they are getting closer to the size of real chicken eggs! Needless to say, they are still the best armadillo eggs. Honestly, I've been all across the country and no one makes jalapeño wrapped brisket balls!

Today My Wife and I went to T- Bone Tom's. My Wife and I were very impressed with the service and food and our Waiter Arnold he took care of us great customer service and we'll be back. We love the place

Greetings TEXAS!!!! Well well well for a DDD spot this place is ok. Now how do you make dry potato salad? Ask the cook's here!!!! The basket of shrimp and it was not good.

Food was great! Chicken wings were so good, we went 2 nights in a row. Best buffalo wings we've ever had. Finger steaks were also really good and the 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs and turkey were amazing!!

Had a great time T-bone Toms tonight. It was definitely patio weather today. The service was great and the food was pretty great too. We will definitely try it again.

We love this place so much! My husband had the Tom's Choice Ribeye and I had the Large Chicken Fried Steak. Everything was delicious. I want to go back and try the bbq. We would go more often, but we live an hour away. Great date night spot to relax and unwind.

You can't go wrong with T-Bone Tom's if visiting the Kemah area! Have been here many times over the years and the services and food are consistently excellent. They have a large outdoor area for seating with cabana roofing to enjoy live bands almost any giving night. Great food and drink specials everyday of the week. I highly recommend the Armadillo eggs as an appetizer and have not had an entree here that I didn't enjoy.

Great service. Excellent food. Fun environment. Outdoor space looked amazing. Plus a live band! Will definitely be back!

Great food good drinks fun atmosphere. Live bands kick up the mood. Been on Diners, Drive ins and Dives.

The vibes in this place were great this was my second coming with my boyfriend he loves this place ! The food was fresh and tasty . The staff is awesome our server Brian was very sweet and a goofball ((:!

The service was excellent and the food was Great. We had the Shrimp poboy was excellent and the Tommy 14 oz steak was great it was cooked perfectly. The sides were excellent.

We love going to T-bone Toms when there is a good band there. Recently went with a group of 10 to see Texas City Revelators. called a few days ahead and got a table front row center. we all had dinner and drinks. Service was great. Food is always good. The music always starts early, like 5 or 6. so we can have a great night out and still be home by 9.

Love this spot! Been over 20 years since I was here last and the place has expanded for sure! Still great service and great food! Now has outdoor entertainment as well.

Must come to this place when you are in Kemah, TX! The outdoor patio is very nice with fans and a country band playing. We had a blast. Cocktails are nice and server is friendly. Very good quality steak at very reasonable prices. Highly recommend. Skip all the restaurants on Main and boardwalk. Just come to Tom's!

Get ready for some great food! Tried a couple of different items, can't go wrong with some great BBQ! Great beee menu, cool ambiance and great food, definitely a spot to check out when in the area

Had a T-Bone 16oz steak, salad, baked potato. Two Mezcal Margaritas. Check was $49.00. Really reasonable. Watched the band Ezra Charles. Fun bluesy Nola music. The place was packed and the service was great. Definitely going back again..

I've been wanting try T-Bone Tom's for a while, especially since seeing them on Triple-Ds; and they did not disappoint. Not only did we get to have a meal with some of my favorite space peeps, but we were entertained with live music and served great food too. The place is totally chill and relaxed, and the staff was 1000% on par to fine dining establishments. We ordered the brisket, which was super tender and flavored to perfection. And the side dishes were superb. Everything we ate was awesome. Yum!

The food was delicious. I enjoyed the chicken fried chicken. The brown gravy was very good. I really enjoyed the grilled tomato's. They would have been super tasty on a sandwich. Hush puppies were awesome. Pork ribs with chipotle sauce was nice. Potato salad was not sweet, very homey. Our server was very nice and quick. It seemed that they were doing a whole building by himself so he was trying to be quick but it was just busy.

They claim to have THE BEST Chicken Fried Steak! NOT TRUE! It was not hand breaded and the gravy was yellow....yuck! Their steaks are awsomr though!

If you like fried food, this is your spot. Personally, not my thing and I didnt care for the food. But, its a great place to sit outside and enjoy the evening weather with a drink.

We chose to eat outside because, even though its still pretty hot at 7pm, and flies are always an issue, we decided it was too busy inside and there was some live music going on plus they had a lot of fans going and the Astros game on. Service was good, waitress seemed super tired, but she was pushing through and made sure to check on us often, so I can't complain. It was prime rib night, so hubby got that, and I ordered shrimp salad and tortilla soup. Food was brought quickly and quality was good.

We went on a Saturday night and were seated right away inside. While we didn't wait long to have our drink order taken, the wait to receive our food was over an hour long. People who came in after us received their food well before we received ours. When we got our food it was cold and not seasoned. I've loved coming here for years but the past few times have been disappointing. I hate to say that was our last time but waiting over an hour for cold food, and then we had to wait over 30 minutes once we have our card to the server to pay until we got our card back.

Went for a late birthday dinner with my boyfriend and the service and food were great!

T bone Tom's is delicious. You can tell by the parking lot. Get the bbq jalapeños. Service is always good with a casual ambiance.

Very good. The ribeye is better than the T-bone, which was still delicious. The desserts were amazing. The service was top notch. The decor was very interesting and you could eat inside or out! Very cool!

Had a ribeye here with a baked potato and salad. $50 Had food poisoning 3 hours later. Steak was too expensive for what It was service was mediocre and to top it off, food poisoning.

It was a great experience! Our server Ciera was so sweet and accommodating. The atmosphere was so enjoyable, loved the live music. Lastly, the food was amazing! Will definitely be visiting again the next time we are in town!!

First time at T-bones... classic diner / steak house The food was enjoyable enough... didn't get to try their prime rib (came too late), but the chef hooked it up, and I got the rib eye instead. I'm sadden that my steak ended up a lil more medium than I wanted, and my waitress could tell it was a lil over cooked... but I'm not gonna Karen about it. The sides were simply prepared, no bells or whistles. In my opinion the prices were a lil high for what ur getting... but the service and friendly hospitality! That more than makes up for it. Enjoyed my time there greatly and wouldn't mind going back for seconds....

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night of the two meat bbq. Wonderful sauce comes with it. The service is as always great especially by Zack. The ambiance is casual and they stay very busy always. We were greeted, seated and taken care of immediately. An older gentleman came out to check on us and asked how everything was. This is nice especially in this day and age when everyone feels entitled. Will definitely come back and I do recommend coming here. Everything is delicious, I just don't care for the adult drinks here. Too weak for the price. Sweet tea is wonderful and they have specials every day as well as live music playing on some days.

What a hidden gem. The husband loves T-Bone Tom's steaks and has been wanting to go back, but we don't live in Kemah LOL Food was legit; service was prompt and great! I love and miss their Mac n cheese and potato salad. Next time we go to the boardwalk, definitely will stop by.

This is our 2nd vacation to the Houston Bay Area & T Bone Tom's was probably 60% of the reason we came back. The photos attached were from the 3 visits during this trip .. yes, it's so good, we ate here 3 times in one vacation. The people are nice, service is excellent, food is off the charts, & it's not even that expensive.

This place has been around 50 years. The chicken fried steak is great, and the mashed potatoes & freen beans and spinach are also flavorful. They have a big tiki bar outside that has live music. There are fans blowing during the hot months. We were visiting from out of town but it's a place we would go back to for sure. A very casual diner type place. They have a nice variety of food. The servers are friendly.

The owners son, Reagan or whatever his name is.... Yikes That's all I'm gonna say. Not meant to be a manager. Just because he's the owner's son doesn't mean he's got what it takes to be in the position he's in. Constantly micromanaging servers and everyone else, riddled with anxiety and stress it's cringy to watch him "work".

Brain was a great server! Great hospitality and customer service! Loved the crawfish! T bone toms has been a family favorite for years!

The place was great, service was okay. The food was good. The only complaints we had were the gumbo, and Mac & Cheese. My mother had the gumbo which was a bit too salty for her, and the Mac & Cheese tasted like it came straight out the Kraft box which was kinda disappointing. Other than that, we loved NASA space vibes. It was nice.

Everyone said this place was excellent. But we didn't like it. Service was slow my husband's food came out and I had to wait about another five minutes For mine. Food was poor to say the less.

Someone told me to come here, and order Tom's campfire. For $12, it's a fantastic deal! I was really trying to discipline myself did not order another one They have raw horseradish! Order the Tom's choice, which was featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives! 14 ounce marinated ribeye!!! I went ahead and place a second order for this to go so I can have it for dinner. I used Worchester sauce and horse radish - - -DIVINE! Went for lunch as I try to go a few days prior for dinner... The place was packed solid They offer indoor and various outdoor seating, one with a bar.

Food and ambiance were great. Band is not too loud you will still able to have conversations during dinner. Only recommend they serve beer using glass instead of plastic cup.

service was excellent food fair had to send dirty rice back very dry everything else was okay but pricey ur parking lot is terrible pave it please more handicape places with van exit for electric wheel chairs

If you're ever in Kemah, which I hope you are, this is the place to be. Good service good atmosphere and good food. I've tried everything here and at all times of the year. It's actually a pretty big restaurant so don't wait in line. You can always ask to sit at the bar.

I came to eat on March 27, 2025. I was craving crawfish and ending up leaving with food poisoning. Do not recommend.

We had six people only one had good food Chicken fried steak skimpy on gravy and batter no seasoning. Onion rings nasty. Granddaughter got kids ribs and one bite and ask for something else didn't like taste. The brisket and ribs plate brisket cut to thin no flavor the ribs to salty no smoke.
