T-bone Tom's

I can't remember the first time I dined here but it was over 20 years ago. Food and service had always been great and never disappointed with any part of.my experience. This is a must stop if you are in Kemah. I don't have any photos of the food but the half size beer pitchers are only $6 and even less during happy hour.

Absolutely amazing BBQ-style food that hits the taste buds right. I believe this is the best brisket I have personally ever had. It narrowly outperforms Mission BBQ as the edges are a little on the crisp/burnt side which I really love. Otherwise pretty close. I got the dirty rice and grilled potato sides, both were excellent and well spiced. I also tried the Armadillo Eggs (crochets with jalapeno and pulled pork stuffing served with ranch) and sausage. These were excellent as well. Pricing was quite reasonable given the cost of brisket these days. Their BBQ sauce is also really incredible. It's sweet, tangy, and a little smoky, not quite like anything I've ever had before and it goes well with everything. I wish there might be a choice of several sauces given people's tastes are different but I really liked this one. The server gave me a nice sized container with my take-out bag so that was awesome! If there is any critique, Tom needs collard greens with a bit of vinegar on the menu. That's a staple some places. But there are a ton of other choices for sides so it's hard to complain. Anyway great food, will definitely be back!

I will make it a point to go out of my way to be here again! This was a great place, friendly people, the best food and cute atmosphere! It was neat to see that Guy Fieri was here with Diners, Drive- ins and Dives! Come try the Chicken Fried Steak! A large order is 2 steaks and can be split! Sides are great! I used both gravy options, brown and creamy! Fried Mushrooms and pickles appetizer was awesome! I got weird and put their ranch dressing on my mashed potatoes and loved it! You can also ask for cheese, sour cream and bacon and butter to top your mashed potatoes!! 😋😋😋 Ate so much that I didn’t have room for the yummy dessert offerings like: bread pudding, peach cobbler and more!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I grew up in this area and when I get the chance to come back, this is where I like to go. The original building was once used for slot car racing and was converted to a slaughter house/restaurant. Currently it's a full blown restaurant with outside seating that also has live music (call for times). They are known for the Chicken Fried Steak and friendly service. Currently the road in front on the restaurant is being expanded. So, parking is a nightmare. Food is good.

This place was exactly what I needed. I chose outdoor seating because I could hear live band from parking lot although inside looked cozy too. Casual family atmosphere with an attentive energetic staff. Alex was awesome with his knowledge of the menu and specials. Upon his recommendation, I chose the 14oz aged ribeye with mac/cheese and green beans. Everything was seasoned well. They had all you can eat ribs on Thurs but my heart was set on steak. Being an out of towner I highly recommend this place.
