The Scene
This longtime Kemah landmark offers its diners two distinct atmospheres. Downstairs, the restaurant is casual with cheery nautical-themed décor and an ample, umbrella shaded patio. The ideal setting for families or… Read Full Editorial
Ghastly experience! by lestat1993 via Citysearch on 5/16/2012
I was alone and ate at the bar. Probably the worst seat in the house. The waiters were coming up to get their drinks and some were standing around doing nothing. They were talking like sailors and one heavy set black waitress was…
Miss the old Dutchman... by notorious90 via Citysearch on 6/5/2011
At one time the Flying Dutchman was a fine dining restaurant. Now, it is an upscale Joe's Crab Shack. The food at Joe's is better. I have been stewing on this for a week. I didn't want to write the review while I was still angry. …
Better Than Landry's! by maverick6 via Citysearch on 10/19/2010
We were enjoying some great spaghetti and unbelievably good lasagna at The Terrace Cafe, and we asked the owner where we could get good seafood. He recommended Landry's , The Flying Dutchman, or Red Sushi. We went to Landry's the…
Crying Shame!!! by corel1 via Citysearch on 9/28/2010
This was once the coolest place on the Kemah Boardwalk. The fine dining place upstairs is now a sushi bar, and a good one at that, but ...I miss the old Dutchman. The food at the new place was not much better than Joe's Crab Shack…
Good Attempt and Nice Changes by wadester via Citysearch on 5/28/2010
We ate at The Flying Dutchman on the Kemah Boardwalk last weekend, and found it to be very enjoyable. They have made several nice decor changes since Hurricane Ike. They now have an outdoor bar with Adirondack chairs circling a nice gas…
Not for me by Monica L via Insider Pages on 10/6/2009
We were told by some friends of our that we should try this place out. Needless to say we were very disappointed. The food had a funny taste to it. Our food was cold. The only good thing that I can say about this place is that it is decor…
Great restaurant by Brandon F via Insider Pages on 8/16/2009
Great restaurant on the Gulf Coast Kemah boardwalk. Wonderful restaurant with friendly staff and management. Great place to take the entire family for a date.
Great service, delicious pecan pie! by Sherinic via Citysearch on 7/8/2009
The hostess was sweet, and the waiter was great, very friendly and accommodating. The manager even came by to check on us, even though the place was getting busy. Our food came out so quickly, I had just barely finished my salad. I had…
NOT THE SAME AS BEFORE IKE!! by kckaty via Citysearch on 3/30/2009
We have been dining at The Flying Dutchman since we moved to Houston 20 years ago. Our favorite was always the Snapper Strips basket, the only place we've every known to serve this! We were so disappointed when we dined there on Mar. 28…
Overpriced and Under Cooked by Infrith2000 via Citysearch on 3/25/2009
Screaming children running around, raw food being served and seeing my waitress four times when it was not a busy nite made my experience special. I did get to see a manager as he replaced my raw shrimp, he apologized and left never to…
WARNING! AWFUL SERVICE AT THE LEAST!!!!! by rainiertx via Citysearch on 3/23/2009
Waited 25 minutes and had to ask for a waiter. There were 5 waiters working 6 - 7 tables so it wasn't like they were busy. Most waiters just standing around. Food was not near as good as pre IKE. Waiter knew we were dissatisfied and did…
Fresh and perfectly cooked seafood; terrific key lime pie by Mesajoy via Citysearch on 11/20/2008
I visited the Flying Dutchman Restaurant 7/4/08 with my sister and brother-in-law. We enjoyed an excellent view from inside the restaurant in the corner of the window walls. All of our seafood was perfectly cooked, and excellent in…
Fl;ying Dutchman Kemah Tx. by dimy61 via Citysearch on 8/3/2008
I cant believe the reviews I have read! I grew up in Kemah Tx and my mother,brother, sister and I worked for the Flying Dutchman when owned by Frans and Diane G. they made the Flying Dutchman what it WAS! I am very sorry to hear that…
not impressed by any means by kimydotcom via Citysearch on 7/27/2008
I have been told for 3 years to go to the Dutchman and I finally did and took my mother-in-law and grandfather with me. I'm now sorry i did. We ordered the clam chowder and it showed up ice cold. It took 10 min. to get the waitress to get…
Better off at Long John Silvers by AlisonsOut via Citysearch on 5/15/2008
I used to enjoy going to the Dutchman. The past few times I have gone I have been very disappointed. The only nice thing I can say is that the outdoor seating is nice. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for our appetizer, the shrimp looked as…
One of the best on the boardwalk by livinlavidabuena via Citysearch on 4/20/2008
I have a like/dislike relationship with this restaurant. My kids like it though - usually their first choice when in Kemah. There is a gross smell, like old tar and wet wood. and the bar is right at the front where you have to walk…
GOOD BYE FLYING DUTCHMAN by mailer4u via Citysearch on 11/29/2007
For many years (25-30) I have enjoyed the Flying Dutchman Restaurant (under the original owners and the new regime) upstairs but, the last few times I have been there, the service and food has not been the same. THIS FOUR STAR RESTAURANT…
Go there if you want to get ripped off. by ladymccoy via Citysearch on 9/16/2007
It wasn't busy and we had to wait to be seated. Once we were seated we had to wait to order. It took too long for our drinks to come. The ice in our drinks had pretty much melted by the time we got them that's how long it took. It was…
for a laid-back seafood experience by missorenishii via Citysearch on 11/23/2006
this is a real "hole-in-the-wall" type of place for swashbuckling pirates ... the decor is extremely laid-back, touched with seafaring treasures and trinkets. the seafood is decent and quite average ... but it'll be satisfying to the…
