After a day at the Space Center Houston, we stopped by T-Bone Tom’s in Kemah for dinner. A close friend of ours that used to live in this area recommended T-Bone Tom’s to us. There was no wait, and we were seated right away. As soon as you walk in, you can tell this place has been here for a while (the menu said “since 1974”) and there’s a really good vibe to the place. Our server, Amy, was awesome! She was friendly and attentive. Since it was our first time here, we had questions about the menu and Amy helped us pick our entrees. She made it a very enjoyable dining experience!

We started with the Fried Mushrooms, which comes with house-made ranch dressing. This is a large portion of breaded, deep-fried mushrooms and it was good. The ranch dressing was great. For our main courses, we got the regular portion Chicken Fried Steak (gravy on the side) with onion rings and corn and the T-Bone Steak with a side salad and fries. The CFS was lightly breaded and very tender. We tried it with both white gravy (shown in the photo) and brown gravy. I liked it with the more traditional white gravy, but my wife liked it with the brown gravy. Just ask, they’ll bring out both for you to try! This was really good CFS, and I can see why it is one of their bestsellers. The fried onion rings were very good (with more of the ranch dressing!) and the corn was also good. With our appetizer, the regular sized portion was perfect….my wife would not have been able to finish the large portion! I ordered the T-Bone steak medium rare, and initially it was a little rarer than I liked. But the manager came around to our table to ask how our food was, and he was happy to take it back and throw it on the grill for a few more minutes. The manager brought it back out to make sure it was exactly how I liked it, and it was perfect. This was a nice piece of meat that had great flavor. The fries were really good also.

We had a great meal at T-Bone Tom’s. I highly recommend that you put it on your list of places to eat.
