T-Bone Tom's in Kemah, Texas Restaurant Review

Located off one of the main highway strips leading into and out of Kemah, Texas, you will find a small restaurant nestled along the side of the road called T-Bone Tom's. With a bright neon sign pointing to the small ground level building below (it's not up on stilts as a lot of properties in the area are), you'd think T-Bone Tom's would be hard to miss, but if you blink twice, you might drive right past it.

That would be a shame, because you'd be missing one of the best steak dinners you can get in a diner environment! In fact, it's not just steaks they serve at T-Bone Tom's, but all kinds of beef dishes, with salad, vegetable sides, and white bread or dinner rolls. The loaded mashed potatoes were pretty good too.

T-Bone Tom's - The Menu

With plenty of choices from which to choose, any meat lover can find something on T-Bone Tom's menu they will enjoy. Chicken fried steak, chicken, beef, and ribeye, and of course, T-bones. Marinated, aged pieces of steak, well cut and delicious.

The prices are perhaps only slightly less than a fine dining restaurant, even though T-Bone Tom's is not what you'd consider fine dining. In fact, T-Bone Tom's environment is only a step above diner environment, but it's cozy and comfortable, a place where you can kick back and enjoy your meal.

Inside you will find plastic table cloths adorning wooden tables, and small wooden chairs in which to sit. The floor is simple laminate tile, the order counter simple and clean, and the catering menu is quite simple too. With outdoor dining on a side patio, though, you can often find live music and entertainment, especially on the weekends, and enjoy a few margaritas under the Texas sky.

T-Bone Tom's - The Food

The steak I ordered at T-Bone Tom's, a ribeye steak, was one of the best steaks I'd had in a long time. With a little Worcestershire sauce on the side for dipping, the steak had an excellent flavor, was tender (and ribeyes often aren't!) and was cooked exactly the way I had ordered.

The sides were hot and good. The salad before the meal was a good size for a dinner salad, but was plain and simple lettuce, tomato and purple onion with croutons and dressing. We were served Texas Toast for the bread side, and very large glasses of sweetened tea.

T-Bone Tom's - Decent Place to Eat

If you're wanting something casual and relaxed with some great steak served diner-style, T-Bone Tom's is the place of choice.

Whatever your choice, T-Bone Tom's is a great place for an easy but exceptional steak dinner.
