★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tene Mont · Feb 2026

Wanted to try a different restaurant near League City. Reviews seemed good so this place was chosen. Was going to dine in, but atmosphere was quiet and blah. Nicely decorated though. Ordered blackened catfish with cajun rice, green beans and a roll. Companion ordered $22.99 platter with oysters, fish, shrimp, hushpuppies, etc. Food was okay, more seasoning needed. Ate half one night and leftovers the next day. Found a straight strand of hair in my food. For reference my hair is coily. Also, cashier was friendly and knowledgeable, but was chewing at front counter. Next, what seemed to be a pink and clear cat backpack carrier was in kitchen area. Patron who entered restaurant before us so happened to pet a cat outside.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. It’s a really quaint little place with a lot of character and history. We were greeted upon entry by two super friendly workers. They talked to us a little bit about the restaurant and its history. We ordered from the specials board. The lady who took our orders was knowledgeable and helpful. She said the dish I was ordering was her favorite and I can see why! The young man who brought out our food was the grandson of Joe Lee from what I understand. The restaurant has been in business for over 40 years. If you are in the Kemah area and you love good food, seafood, and Cajun food give this place a try! You will not be disappointed! Picture references- we ordered the cracklins, catfish with crawfish etouffe, and the shrimp 4 ways! Every

We absolutely loved the food! Flouder and fried shrimp were delish! Salad was fresh and hush puppies were so good! Can't believe we haven't eaten here sooner. The staff was friendly and prices were reasonable. Definitely check this place out!

Just went here today and it was such a friendly and amazing experience. Absolutely loved the food Sue was awesome and moving at full speed with the rush that came in while we were leaving and the cashier I don’t remember her name had awesome recommendations and she gave me a free box of an empty Hopadillo carton I told her about gift giving I give through recycled boxes and she came over with some they were going to throw out Ughe I loved this place can’t wait to be in the area and go again… food was delicious we got the stuffed crab and stuffed shrimp and let’s not forget to raise the roof to their shrimp slaw 🤤

​We didn't feel like cooking or dealing with leftovers, and this place hit the spot perfectly. The fish tacos were delicious, especially paired with the Cajun rice and those addictive hushpuppies. My spouse loved the fish sandwich, too—everything stayed fresh and crispy even for a "to-go" order! ​They also have outdoor seating area that’s dog-friendly, which is such a plus. Highly recommend for a high-quality, stress-free meal!
