After a long day at the NASA center and dealing with the ran. This was a fun place to go. Greta view of the water. The service was friendly. We almost fought over the queso and chips from hunger. These pelican oysters almost took me out. HOT. But after removing the hot stuff it was good. I needed just a little butter. Crawfish was a bit over cooked but over all it was a great way to end the day. read more

My husband and three kids went for dinner tonight. We had a great table over looking the water and a friendly waitress. We ordered 3lbs of crawfish (good flavor but overcooked), nachos w fajita beef (always a favorite) and my husband and son split the shrimp po boy. We came home and 4 hours later my husband and son have projectile vomiting and diarrhea. They were the only ones to eat the shrimp and the only ones to get sick. Their food has never been anything spectacular....we mostly go for the pretty views and cold beer. But after tonight we probably won't be back. read more

We came here for the crawfish and they did not disappoint! The food and drink specials were incredible but the quality of the food was amazing! On top of that we were greeted by a nice gentleman (forgot his name) but he stopped by the table to have a chat he said he was only there for two weeks! Then the manager stopped by and chatted with us! The space is very big , clean and worth coming back which we will! Our server Kadence was a gem! She gave us the space to enjoy but still gave us great customer service! I would highly recommend this place! read more

We ordered calamari for our appetizer on top of the sliders. We got the sliders, but didn't get the calamari until our food came out. We ordered two of the grilled flounder dinners, tell me why they were the size of a mini perch not enough to even make a meal. We didn't complain, our tab was $160 and we tipped 20%. The service was subpar for a place that wasn't even that busy on a SATURDAY NIGHT! The ambiance was good, all games were being televised. read more

My first time coming here...food was good and the views were amazing. Service was great as well, everything we tried was delicious. I would say pricey, but nowadays that's the going price for good seafood and service. I would go there again, for us the food was fresh and tasty. The crawfish were seasoned good too and flavorful, heat was perfect and not overwhelmingly giving me a natural lip injection , not the largest I've seen but maybe we're late into the season. We will go there again for drinks and appetizers, the rare tuna was as good as the one I made at home, but their dressing tastier! read more

This place is a hidden gem! I absolutely enjoyed their 1/2 off wine special on Wednesday with cupcake white wine which was recommended by our server. Their surf and turf and shrimp pasta was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals I've had in a while. Service was friendly and helpful! Also being on the water was so beautiful and the pelicans were so cool to see. read more

The place is really big and located right by the water. It has a great view of the sunset and easy access by boat or car. The staff is friendly and constantly checking up on you wether you're seating on the patio or inside. The food is good bar food and seafood classics. They have vast options and the quality is good. It is a great place to go for a happy hour and to enjoy the nice weather with a view. read more

On vacation from California and we selected this place for lunch. This place has a very unique and interesting atmosphere that combines a restaurant/ sports bar vibe with a very cool seafarers' theme. We were seated right away. Our server, Kelsie was wonderful! We enjoyed seafood Alfredo, a crab boil and a seafood samplers. They were all great! The prices were very reasonable and the portion sizes were excellent. Definitely recommended. read more

We wanted a close place with outdoor seating on the water, and oysters. Sam's delivered on all fronts. Raw and Rockefeller oysters, ahi tuna, and shrimp tacos were had by 3 of us. All of it was good but none of it was outstanding by any means. The house marg was very subpar and the glasses of wine were waaay overpriced. $13, really?? We wouldn't have ordered them if we knew that, but alas there was no wine list so we relied on what the waitress told us was available and figured the prices would be reasonable like everything else. The atmosphere was fine, again nothing to write home about. Same goes for the service. Nice water views! It's definitely a sports place so be prepared for loud TVs... inside and outside. Not my scene at all but the sports fans will enjoy it. All in all, just okay here. Curiosity satiated and I've no desire to return. read more

We went here on the weekend. While they certainly did not appear busy, we had to wait quite while. That sort of established the service mentality for our visit - just ok. Reading through a few other reviews, it does appear that they've had a rough time getting and keeping staff. Service is enough to get your food and your order correct but nothing overboard. We got an order of crawfish and the nachos with a few beers. The crawfish were the spiciest I have ever had. I loved it but not everyone will. The nachos were meh - some very ordinary chips on a plate with other stuff piled on. read more

Ok, this is my opinion of the Sam's Boat on NASA Rd in Seabrook, TX. Thursday, 02/20/25 It only gets 3 stars from me for the following reasons. Their food is the same as the Pearland location but different. I love fried Catfish but not this time. The silver on the meat has a very distinct taste that I HATE! Not just hate but makes me physically ill! The loaded mashed potatoes are good but not as good as I have had. These were pretty dry even with all the other stuff on top. The hush puppies were soggy, ick! Lastly the coleslaw was bland at best. I doubt I return to this location. There are better seafood restaurants in the same proximity. I'll save my taste buds for the Pearland Sam's Boat location. FYI the lunch menus are different from one location to the other. See photos read more

Always enjoy the visit to Sam's Boat at this location! I enjoy the patio seating looking over the water. Service is always great and food is enjoyable. Had the loaded crawfish this visit while they are in season. This has been my favorite spot for crawfish in the whole Bay Area for years as it is consistently cooked well and seasoned nicely. Will definitely recommend to others for any giving day of the week to enjoy a nice atmosphere and some good seafood and more eats! read more

This is a great spot to come and get a few appetizers (I got the queso and an order of hush puppies) and sit out on the patio! It's gorgeous at night! The food was good and drinks were good as well, a great option for somewhere to chill out and get some food! I liked everything I tried but I'm not a fish person so I didn't try any seafood!! They have good vegetarian options for veggie folks! read more

We ate lunch here yesterday and was very disappointed. The service was sub-par and the meals were awful. I had an ahi tuna salad which was tasteless and had no dressing and very little green salad leaves- mostly white and purple and hardly no sesame. My wife ordered the flounder and it had so much sauce that the meat was soggy. We were very disappointed. We won't be back for a while as a disappointment now costs about $60. What happened?? This used to be a good place to eat. read more

We decided to stop in while out running errands. The restaurant is clean and the service is great! I ordered the mixed grill with green beans and veggie of the day. My wife had the flounder with butter sauce and mother-in-law ordered the fried shrimp basket. We all loved the main dish items. The green beans had a different taste, almost like they took on the taste of the grill. Other than that, we loved our food and will be back again! You can't beat the view. They also have great drink specials for those that partake. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly on the patio, there was some live music, and overall the ambiance was chill. Our waitress was in training, so it was her and another girl that waited on us. My sister and I ordered snow crab and upon them bringing our meals they said they didn't have any crackers. The manager came to our table to explain that they were all out of crackers because people sometimes take them. He said he searched everywhere for some and that they were being ordered. For the inconvenience he said he would discount out meals since we expressed that we wouldn't be able to break open the harder pieces. He even offered for us to choose something different and he would credit it. We just stuck with the crab because that's why we came there. I thought that was good customer service on his part as a manager. The crab itself was just mediocre. Only had a light salty flavor. The corn was way too spicy and soggy, couldn't enjoy it. At the end of the meal one of our checks was wrong, and the manager ended up crediting us for my meal and part of my sister's. Had there been crackers, and I paid for my meal, I think it wouldn't have been worth the price. read more

1 Star - Extremely Disappointing Experience We've been regulars at Sam's Boat in Seabrook for years, but tonight was an absolute disaster. We spent around $250 on food that was pure trash. The calamari was just mush -- completely inedible. The flounder had zero texture, the pasta was bland and tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave, and no one at the table ate more than 3-4 bites of their meal. The chips and queso were honestly the only bright spot of the entire dinner. The hostess and waitstaff were kind and hardworking, but the kitchen standards have fallen off a cliff. For a place we used to enjoy every couple of months, this was beyond disappointing. Sadly, we won't be back. read more

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but the service I received yesterday was unacceptable. Our server was noticeably rude from the moment we sat down -- no greeting, no eye contact, and an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. Simple questions about the menu were met with sighs and short, dismissive answers. Don't recommend Paige as your server! What really sealed it was the complete lack of basic courtesy. Drinks were dropped off without a word, plates were pushed onto the table, and not once did they check in to see if we needed anything (our drinks were empty). It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and honestly ruined the experience. The food was fine, but service matters. Management should really address this, because no customer should be made to feel unwelcome. The time I went before this we had Jaiden and she was the sweetest most attentive server ever. read more

Sunday funday lunch . I had the catfish platter with hush puppies and fries . The fried catfish was very good and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I didn't like the Cole slaw but other than that it was great. I ordered a side of red beans and rice and I thought it was ok . It came with a piece of corn bread. I always enjoy coming here because I love sitting outside by the water . Our waitress was very polite and attentive. Restaurant was very clean as always. read more

I ordered crawfish to go. Was sold old, stinky crawfish and potatoes. After fishing through the four pounds I found a couple that I thought would be good to eat. Bad idea. I should have followed my first mind and threw the entire pan away! Those few created a fire storm in my stomach. Never again. I'm not sure who voted but Sam's does not have the best crawfish in Seabrook. read more

Very poor service. I was there tonight ordered 3 lbs crawfish to go. The bartender, Gabbi, her attitude was poor and so was her service. she took my order, didn't try to upsell by offering water or something else to drink, like beer or a cocktail. I had to get her attention she was busy talking to her bar mate, to ask a question. I've been there before, the crawfish is properly the best in town. But the young girls who work there, not all but most have an attitude. read more

As a long time customer of this place, it has always seemingly been an okay place to stop and grab something to eat or drink. I've been coming here for about 4 years until recently the bar has hired some newer employees and can't seem to get there stuff together. There is two specifically who are what you could call rude, but slow and constantly waiting long times for drinks or food. Just simply not good customer care. Food is great and remodel looks great but the staff issues seem to keep getting worse. read more

Pretty mid. The shrimp were kinda small. The taste was comparable to funnel cake. Interesting. There were 6 total. The view was nice. I ate a couple of green beans before taking this.

We stopped by for lunch since we were at a vendor market in the building next door. The inside of the restaurant is huge and their patio space has a wonderful view overlooking the water. We were quickly seated and our server was very nice. She went over the specials and told us what the favorites were. We chose the Boat Sampler that includes fried calamari, lightly breaded popcorn shrimp & the queso with homemade tortilla chips. All were enjoyable but the queso was our favorite. We split the Snapper Pontchartrain and chose Mac & cheese and fries. The thick snapper filet was cooked perfectly. The sauce with crawfish tails had a slight kick, I would have slopped it up with some bread if I had any. The mac & cheese was cheesy enough and the thick cut fries were nicely flavored. Definitely a nice find! read more

I'm surprised by low reviews. There are always people there when we go. We really love Sam's Boat! Large interior so we have never had to wait. Inside and outside options. Kid friendly but also a bar in the middle with tvs all over. Great food! read more

Came to Sam's boat with my family, service was great! got seated quickly, server was great, and atmosphere was nice. With that being said, the food was not great. I ordered the Blackened Alfredo and the fettuccine was soaked in alfredo and the chicken was very rubbery, noodles were over cooked aswell. I asked for something else and got the southwest chicken wrap and It was very bland. It may have been because we came at 9pm, i understand it's late and all but kitchen closes at 10pm and i'd hope they still serve the same quality of food as if it was 6pm. I was overall dissatisfied with my experience and ended up getting mcdonald's on the way home lol. read more

The restaurant shares a parking lot with one or two businesses. The restaurant actually is situated further back from the main road, so it can be slightly confusing at first to figure out where the front entrance is. The restaurant has an outdoor deck area and an indoor area. Given the HOU heat and humidity, I'd recommend staying indoors in the summer months. The outdoor deck area allows smoking, so just be aware if you'd like to go out there. The atmosphere was a bit loud, which made sense as it was a bit of a sports bar feel. I wouldn't say this was a place to have great conversation, but a nice spot to just relax and chill. The servers were good, really no complaints on that front. Nothing that went above and beyond, but it was fine. The food is really what's making the review a 4 star. I had the shrimp tacos (blackened), and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. There were 2 shrimp tacos (the shrimp were huge) and sides comprised of beans and salsa. Maybe I was extremely hungry by the time the food came, but I really enjoyed it. The pricing felt reasonable, considering the amount of the food. Overall, if I'm back in the area and need a food option, I'd be open to coming back! read more

I came in last Monday evening on a recommendation from nearby hotel staff. I sat outside at the tiki bar. The ambience is very casual and being on the water the views were very relaxing. The bar staff was very helpful and friendly. When I couldn't decide on a beer choice I was given a couple of little sample sips to help me make a decision. Locals sitting nearby offered great conversation and gave me good food recommendations as well as local area advice. The sample platter I ordered had crab fritters, fried calamari, shrimp, crab queso and chips! Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. The queso dip was sooooo yummy with the fresh tortilla chips. The dipping sauces were all very delightful as well. I will visit this place again my next time down to Texas. read more

On the water, probably the only reason to go we had good service. My family had oysters on oysters on the half shell and very average. I had chicken Alfredo was great. We both ordered drinks and it was like drinking tapwater. Probably better to order shots. If you really wanna have a strong drink, but it is on the water. read more

This is a great place for drink specials. Lots of TVs with various sports playing. The food is a pretty decent variety, offering lots of good burgers, appetizers, and seafood entrees. The wait staff is a little more mostly clothed than a Hooters or Twin Peaks, but also slightly less experienced and attentive. Overall nice for after work food and drinks... AWESOME view from the Deck Bar and Table seating. A little disappointed with the small things lately... the Chipotle Mayo is utterly flavorless! read more
