    Laid-back spot with a solid vibe. Stopped by Rusty Hook Bar & Grill in Kemah and had a good visit overall. The service was great from start to finish. Bar staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Definitely a sports bar atmosphere, TVs everywhere, good energy, and always a plus catching Sunday NFL action. Go Texans. The staff really adds to the experience. Super cool and on top of things without being overbearing. Food-wise: Chips & queso: decent, nothing crazy -- 3/5 stars. Burger: hit the spot, juicy and flavorful -- 4/5 stars All in all, a relaxed place to hang out, grab a bite, and watch some sports with good people taking care of you. Would come back.

    Brisket is a must have!

    YOU CAN SMOKE HERE! Also the food is phenomenal and I now understand why parking is always full.

    I get the chicken fried chicken each time I come and it's great! Came out fast and speedy, but I admit the mac n cheese could be better. Stick with the fries and you'll have a great meal! Good pricing too and nice music!

    We came deep, loud, and STARVING--and somehow Rusty Hook didn't even flinch. The team handled us like seasoned pros. Shoutout to them for keeping the food flowing and the energy warm, even though we were acting like we hadn't seen a meal in weeks Let me be real... I got the mild crawfish because me and spice? We don't always get along. But babyyyy that mild was flavor-packed and FIRE (not spicy fire--just the good kind). Juicy, garlicky, buttery, and bold. It was giving Southern seafood magic. Between the great vibes, the patient staff, and the food that made me rethink my whole spice tolerance--Rusty Hook is IT. Whether you're ordering mild or sweating through extra spicy, this place hits every time. Highly recommend. And if you hear a loud table laughing too hard? Mind your business. It might be us.

    Now is this a lot is seared tuna or what!?

    We stopped in on the way back from Baytown and still had a drive home to Galveston but wanted a little something. Husband had the baked potato and I had the seared Tuna. We both had water since we were driving. The tunaxwas fressking outstanding! The wasabi was not too hot, tuna seared perfectly, served with pickled onions, slaw, lettuce and soy sauce. The tuna was awesome by itself. I barely used the sow. And huge helping that this glutton scarfed! I saw lots of folks getting crawfish and that they have daily specials during the week. Good on ya, Rusty Hook. Oh I loved that our order was paid tableside! Very convenient l. The baked potato could have used more bacon but husband ate meost of it regardless. Huge space! Go check it out!

    The Big Hook 5 lbs of crawfish, 1 lb of shrimp, 2 crab clusters, potatoes and corn. Delicious!

    I forget how good this place is The crawfish was on point I goth the Big Hook and OMG it was good and spicy and hit the spot Even though they were busy our server was excellent I love the setup with your choice of high or low tables to sit at While we waited on our table we sat at the bar and had a couple of refreshing cocktails

    Cold crawfish

    Seasoning was good, too bad everything was cold. Half the crawfish were dead before they were cooked. Heard only good reviews about the place so I am very let down by what we had.

    Come and get your crawfish here. It was perfectly spiced and delicious. They have a great deal for $6.99/lb. It has bar games, pool tables and darts. The Po-Boy was also amazing! Great place to come grab crawfish, a drink and a game. Smoking friendly. The service was awesome and our waitress made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely come back. Parking can be a little tricky if the place gets too crowded.

    3 lbs crawfish with corn and potatoes.

    We went for crawfish. They were pretty good. Asked for spicy and didn't feel they were spicy. Overall the food was good. The service was not so good. Our waiter took our drink and food order all at the same time. Which was a red flag for me. It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we waited about 40 mins to get a table. We had to continue to waive our waiter down for drinks, missing butter and waters. Which we ordered all on the first visit to our table. They do smoke inside the building. It honestly did not bother me as a non smoker but the bay doors were all open. So I'm sure that helped a lot. My friend said the table behind us was smoking and I didn't know it. I feel the long wait to get a table is due to the slow service. If you want something fast I wouldn't suggest eating here. If you have a few hours to burn then go here.

    Came here for a birthday dinner and the vibe is definitely there, love the bay views and the…read moreinterior has that nice coastal feel. The seafood was decent, nothing that blew me away though. We ordered the grilled fish and some appetizers; flavors were okay but a bit underwhelming for the price point. Service was friendly but a little slow considering it wasn't even that packed. The bar area was fun and lively which was a plus. Overall it's solid spot for the atmosphere, but if you're coming purely for the food, you might leave wanting a bit more. Would probably return just for drinks and appetizers.

    My family and I were in Galveston and decided we want to grab lunch before heading back to town. I…read moreremembered the name Pier 6 from two different group of friends so thought I should look it up and see where it was on the map. Luckily, it was somewhat on the way back so we decided to give it a try. Rolling through San Leon made us question if we were going to the right place. It didn't feel lively and definitely was not giving 'Coastal Chic', like how Pier 6 has been described. Upon arrival, it was a totally different vibe and 'Coastal Chic' is a fitting description for the place. We were seated right away and they offered a high chair for our little one. We started out with fresh oysters and a flight of margaritas. If you're an oyster fan, it's worth getting the oysters. Super fresh. The flight presentation was so beautiful. My husband and I had fun trying the different margaritas. The blue one was coconut flavored. It reminded me of a piña colada but with tequila. We were surprised that we liked this one. The pink one was watermelon flavored. We could taste the smokiness of the mezcal in it. This was a nice, not sweet drink. The white one was their classic take on margarita. We thought this one was too sweet for our taste buds. The orange one was mango and I think chamoy. This reminded me of the Mexican candy Lucas - sweet and tangy. All drinks were finished. LOL Now to the main dishes. My husband had the Mahi Mahi and said the fish was fresh and had a good amount of seasoning on it. The risotto and mushroom was a solid pairing with it. He cleared the dish. I had the tomato salad and clam chowder. Their tomato salad was so good. It was light and refreshing. I love that there were dill and capers too. Their clam chowder is definitely different compared to others I've had. The soup was more like a light creamy broth. The clam is served whole. Oyster crackers were also in it vs served on the side. Even though it was different, I didn't mind it and killed everything. Service was as expected for the time of day. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would make the trip to the San Leon area again. A few notes: Pier 6 does have a kids menu and there's changing table in the restroom, along with some diapers. This place is in between Kemah and Galveston. It's about 15 minutes drive from Kemah and 25-30 minutes drive from Galveston.

Sometimes the clientele gets a little rowdy but it is a 18+ restaurant so at least kids aren't around to experience some of the adults that don't know how to behave in public. Last weekend we went for dinner and got a show. a lady sitting at the bar dropped her top several times and exposed herself to everyone in the place. The first time it happened the bartender untied her top making it fall. Everyone laughed excepted a few older people that were very uncomfortable- the woman was obviously very comfortable and a regular. So I'm sure it wasn't the first or the last time it'll happen. The food was phenomenal as always. We always get some version of oysters (you can't beat the flavor here) and I got a salad. Zero complaints on the food, would like to not see people expose themselves while eating but again we eat here often and it's the first time it happened. Don't skip this place but do keep in mind it can get a little lively. Oh they do often have bands and a fully service bar. A must for sure.

Our waitress was nice, but the service was off, we got one side for one person first, then A few other things trickled in, then our meals, our appetizers arrived last ‍ The food was pretty good, most of us had oysters, I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos, food was decent, atmosphere was kinda cool, looks like night time might be a little better, there was a small stage for music....overall fun place, but prob too far to go back for me
