Friendly service, got our order promptly. Omelette was delicious and the biscuit was about 5" square and 1 1/2" tall!!! We keep eating here when we visit Kemah. Prices are reasonable. read more

Great mom and pop diner. Yhe portions are huge. The service is fabulous. I highly recommend the Greek omelet definitely add the feta. Oh those biscuits they're not only huge but they are light and fluffy. My daughter had the steak, yes steak for breakfast but it was one fine juicy steak and I think that you could not do better any time of day. They've got corn beef hash on the menu, my man licked the plate clean. Clean, friendly and delish. read more

What can I say everyone doesn't already know? Skipper's is the total package. Always...Great food, fresh coffee, clean, clean, clean dishes, silver, restrooms, all of it, so friendly, you feel at home, just repeating what I bet everyone else says. Any meal you eat there will be great food, relaxed, very clean and fun. We adore the family that owns and operates, the "fish boat", that's a translation of something, comment if you know what I mean!! Lol Please don't change a thing or ever close!! read more

We have always loved coming here! We even bring friends by when the visit is in TX! The food is great and the customer service is amazing! I'm glad we found this place! Luv the breakfast and of course my favorite the fried zucchini! read more

Great breakfast place to come to if you want to chill at Kemah, Texas. Just going to say, they have huge biscuits. Everything needs to be bigger in Texas I guess. I ate everything to the point of a having a good coma. No regrets. But I really needed to take a jog a few hours later to burn off the calories. read more

This is your typical "Mom and Pop" style place. If you want a good breakfast and plenty to eat This is a perfect go to place for all your breakfast needs. Been in our area for a very long time. Good folks here... read more

Great authentic food. Trucker style breakfasts w great corned beef hash and perfectly made eggs every time. Excellent Mediterranean cuisine especially the Moussaka (lasagna w bechemel layered w eggplant and sautéed ground beef). The place has a Mom and Pop feel, not fancy but functional and the service is excellent. Skippers is always packed Sunday mornings but they serve the entire menu anytime. I often bring out-of-towners here because it's reasonably priced and the food is exquisite. Try their bfast or something a little more exotic. You may even see a bellydancer with bells but no whistles. lol read more

This place is amazing. One of the only places that understand that it's possible to cook eggs without brown spots on them! Like having a really great breakfast cooked to perfection away home. read more

Very busy on a Saturday morning ~ my Veggie Omelette was perfect ~ Heard Greek salad was good.. but, dressing taste like mustard & vinegar (??) .. nothing special, but a nice place for groups we all had a nice meal! read more

Great food prepared right. Very efficient service. Super clean. Wonderful breakfast stop on way home from Galveston.

Great brunch! Pleasantly surprised. Tacos and egg sandwich were great! Reasonably priced as well. If your looking for different coffee options this is not the place but food is great which makes up for it! read more

Always amazing food and service. Love seeing all of the locals coming in and being greeted

I vacillated between 4 and 5 stars. Settled on 5 for two reasons: 1) As a Mom and Pop diner you can't get any better 2) All the staff was on their game. We really felt Sam added to our experience; she was very knowledgable. Both of us had a veggie omelette that was fixed to our individual specifications. We both loved theme. The home fries came cooked dark, slightly crispy --- just like I like them. That was a bit of a surprise -- I usually have to order them cooked deep brown. Having been away from home two nights I took a piece of baklava home to my daughter; she is trying to convince me I should go get more! My friend and I are looking forward to coming back with our kids to try the Greek food and will update review then. read more

Excellent spot for breakfast, wish I could find a place like this near me in Houston. Was going to Kemah and went down early to have breakfast and glad I did. Service was good, atmosphere was good, food was good - if I'm anywhere near there again, I will try to go back. Only negative - the coffee was a bit weak but it was fine and wasn't expecting anything special for coffee. Go - you'll be glad you did. read more

Tried to visit this restaurant a few weeks ago on a Sunday after church and there was a line out the door, didn't stay. Was happy to see there was no line on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. They seem to have authentic Greek food but we just went for breakfast. Pancakes and sausage, it's hard to mess that up. Our server wasn't super attentive but the food came pretty fast. Might come back sometime and try the Greek selections, but not on a Sunday! read more

Parking: Restaurant has a medium size parking lot but it fills up quickly. Time and Day: Came on a Sunday afternoon at 12:00. Big mistake, the place is packed and full. The wait for a table of two didn't take too long though, maybe around 15 minutes I would say. Food: I ordered the Pork Chops & Eggs ($9.25) and it is filling! You get two big pieces of pork chops, two eggs (your style), toast (recommend you get the bread with raisin), and your side of potatoes (French fries or grits). I recommend you get the French fries because they are not the same typical fries you find at restaurants. They are chopped and the texture overall taste better. For $10, the pork chops were cooked perfectly, grits were good, and the toast was decent. Overall, the food here tasted like fresh homemade breakfast that is better than restaurants like Egg & I. Food gets a (4/5) here. Service: Basic service here. Waitress was busy with other tables as the restaurant was pack. However, the owner (I think it is the owner?) is polite and courteous when we were paying our check. Service gets a (3/5) here. Price: Cheap price for delicious breakfast food. I say the price tag is worth it. Overall: Delicious breakfast food for a good cheap price. I can tell the quality here is better than other breakfast restaurants like Egg & I, IHOP, and Dennys. If you are in the mood for breakfast food, I recommend you come here. Restaurant gets a (3.5/5) read more

I moved to the Kemah area in 2003 and was directed to Skipper's by friends for the best breakfast in town. The owners and staff at this small family owned restaurant treat everyone as if they are family. The service is great and the food is always hot, very well proportioned, with a menu that is very diversified. From breakfast to super, owner prepared Greek dishes are the choices. Skipper's daily lunch specials just can't be beaten relative to value of your hard earned $$! Skipper's is a great place to become family and are always remembered and when you leave you are satisfied and always wanting to return. read more

Great waffles, hummus, and fried shrimp. The service was always good and we never waited too long for a table.

So you want breakfast in the Kemah area, there is is just one choice, for local joint. The Omelets are a solid hit, along with their biscuits or home fries, you can't go wrong with either. Waffles and all the sides are another big favorite, for those hung over days when my eyes are 5 - 8x's larger than my stomach. So lets recap, it's in Clear Lake Shores near Kemah, good breakfast, you may eat to much... read more

We recently moved to the area and were beyond happy to be so close to this gem of a restaurant. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by what I believe was the owner. He put his arm around my shoulder and walked us to our table. He was very polite and it was nice to see a hands-on owner (no pun intended). Our waitress, Courtney, was also a delight and gave us recommendations for our order. We told her it was our first visit and checked on us frequently but never annoyingly. I ordered the Pork Chops & Eggs and my girlfriend ordered the New Orleans Omelette. The pork chops are huge and can definitely be shared. In fact, we had my leftovers for dinner! They were juicy, char-grilled and had generously seasoned, almost tasted like a steak. The eggs were good and went perfectly with the rye toast. The home fries were delicious and full of flavor. The New Orleans omelet was extremely good and packed with cooked onions, bell peppers and I'm not sure what else. The salsa is a little spicy so I'm glad it comes on the side. The French roll was warm and soft. It was a really good sandwich. This is sure to be a regular spot for us! read more

My Wife and I had Breakfast at Skippers last Sunday. I ordered a Ham & Cheese Omelet home fries and toast. My Son told us that the food was fabulous. I'm sorry to say I cannot say the same thing about what I had. First of All I was a Chef for over 20 years. This Omelet was dry. A slice of cheese was tossed into the mix along with the ham. The Home fries were a mess, dry, falling apart, meaning they were old and had been sitting around overcooking. Sorry for the bad review. If you spend good money on food then you should expect good food in return. read more

This is my go to breakfast spot. Sure its a Greek diner also but I have only ever had Breakfast here. This is where all the locals go. The food is really nothing special but it is solid down home breakfast food and a fair price. It is mostly fresh homemade food cooked to order. Great fresh eggs, Corn beef hash, grits, pancakes, kielbasa, breakfast sandwiches, and more. The only thing I did not care for was the chicken fried steak. I love chicken fried steak and eggs but the steak here is clearly not home made. Its not bad but it is no better than Dennys. The biscuits are not to be missed and their version of hash brown potatoes is great. So if you are in the Kemah area and want a good southern breakfast this is your place. read more

Great food. Great wait staff. Very clean, family friendly environment. Our new Clear Lake Shores staple!

Fantastic food! The wait staff was super friendly and food came out rather quick, even tho we ordered pork chops and said they would take a bit. There was an older gent who took our payment and had a strong accent, I assume he is the Skipper, and he was cute as a button. read more

Skipper's - They are pro trump and I love it. - New American Near Me - Kemah, Texas

Came for the first time since we heard this is a popular breakfast spot in Kemah. As we arrived to the restaurant there was a long line. When we approached the hostess to put our name in line she stated that there is no list and that she remembers who is next and would get us when it was our turn. Now there were well over 20 people waiting. Many were frustrated because they were cut multiple times in line. What we came to realize was that the hostess chooses who she thinks is next but it seemed as if she had her favorites already. As people of color we really did not feel welcome at this establishment with all the stares we received. Even with the demeanor the hostess had towards us. We chose to dine else where and are happy we did so. read more

Homestyle breakfasts with huge portions. A local favorite. Bring your appetite and expect to go boxes. No regrets ever.

It's a little far for breakfast but we go here every once in a while. This rating is only for breakfast, I've never had anything else at Skipper's. They're spotty. We usually share the Bacon & Cheese Omelet with onion added. Today it was overcooked and a little dry. That's not usual. As others have mentioned, the service is a little slow and often indifferent. I much prefer country fried potatoes to be chunks rather than shaved potatoes. Somehow this sounds like a negative review but it isn't intended to be. The breakfasts are usually good. I would have given three and a half stars if that were possible. If they had real country fries and the servers were a little more chipper, Skipper, I would have made it four stars. ___ We've Eaten Out Every Meal for 25 years read more

Today is the second time my boyfriend & I have dined here. It's been perfect both times! Kimon (who is one of the owners) has been here both times & is personable, and extremely accommodating. We've had everything from the Greek wine, Greek beer, dolmathes, gyros, and Greek coffee! All superb! We've tried other Greek restaurants and none of them compare! This place is authentic! read more

I've eaten breakfast at skippers. It was delicious. Their stuffed jalapeños are really good too. They're a little different. It's a very nice diner and has a variety of delicious food. They have several Greek dishes that are very good as well. I really like the Pastishio you can't go wrong at skippers. read more

Service was not great, the owner is an ass and it's overpriced for cafe food. I won't go back

Great food, fast service, owner was there. Would definitely go again. Had breakfast and loved every bite

Love Skipper's, the food, the wait staff, the ambiance & all of the memories made over many years as a loyal customer!
