OMG is all I can say about the grilled oysters! We tried the trio and couldnât decide which ones we liked best! I had the shrimp and crab tower which is the best salad Iâve had and such great presentation! Followed it by the most delicious dessert which is so reasonably priced. After the great meal we saw the sign for snow crab Thursday do we were back and had more delicious items like grilled oysters again becuz were in love with them, snow crab which was delicious with light seasoning and then key lime pie which was exceptional! I like the ambiance of the bar and patio which is enclosed!! Service was exceptional both times: Melissa you rock!!!

We were here as part of a group from our community for dinner. I was looking forward to some good seafood and I was very disappointed as was my husband. First of all, the service was not the friendliest or speedy, but it wasnât slow. Servings were large and so were the prices. My husband had a shrimp salad and clam chowder. He liked the chowder but the shrimp salad was very spicy although it didnât say it was on the menu. The waiter argued with him that it wasnât spicy and refused to do anything about it. I tried it as did my friend and we both agreed it was spicy. My popcorn shrimp had more breading than shrimp. The coleslaw did not look fresh and no one ate it. I left over most of my fries. My friend had the fish and chips which she shared and we both agreed weâve had better at other restaurants. The restaurant was on the water and it had nice views and that was about it. I will not return any time soon for sure. There are better, more reasonably priced places to eat. Itâs on the Kemah Boardwalk which is quite touristy.

Usually we love Bubba Gump Shrimp. The food is great and so is the restaurant theming. But this time, the waitress forgot to put our order through and we waited an hour for them to fix the issue. Shame. Spoiled an otherwise good review.

Firstly, I was under the impression that there wouldâve fish swimming around us, I was wrong. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a very large tank in the middle of the restaurant. Not bad but still...Service: Horrible from the moment we stepped in. Host told us we would be waiting for an hour as they were at capacity. My husband and I stepped into the gift shop for less than 10 mins. When we returned to the waiting area, the host escorted us to our table. The restaurant had VERY few people and many open tables. I could count on my 10 fingers how many tables were taken. -Our waiter seemed to just pass us by on several occasions. We saw him maybe a total of 4 times; Bring us Drinks, Bring our appetizer, Bring Our check and Bring a to-go container. The person who brought us our entrees really helped our experience, I canât remember his name. I wish I could say better things about our experience service wise. Food was PHENOMENAL :)

We are local folks that just love this place. If you are in the mood for a good burger you have to stop here. The onion rings everyone raves about but me personally I like the thin ones better. It is a fun atmosphere located walking distance from the Kemah Boardwalk. Even the chicken sandwiches are yummy. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you want to create your own type of burger.

Saltgrass never disappoints when we choose a meal out. Reasonably priced and the service is always friendly and aiming to please. I have spent way more money and received a lot less quality at numerous other steakhouse. Chopped steak is one of my favorites. One of our regular spots.....

We have been eating at Opus Bistro/Opus Ocean Grill for years. Never once did we have even an inkling of a complaint. Their food beats anything on the Kemah Boardwalk hands down. Not only is the food fantastic the service is impeccable as well. We are always recommending Opus to all our friends and people we meet.

4 of us had lunch here today and it was great. We had the armadillo eggs (featured on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives) and they were so good! We also had the fried catfish which was delicious also. Wait staff was attentive and courteous. This is our first time in Houston and we will definitely return.
