Love Tookies!
I have never reviewed this spot, probably…read morebecause of the food coma I self impose when I come here...I have nothing left to give society.
The #99 is the bomb. It is the stalwart staple of the American Republic. I have them add Jalapeños because I am a glutton for punishment. But, I can't count how many times I have ordered this burger and it is juicy, flavorful, hot, calling my name. Just a little too messy to eat free-handed without a tray beneath you.
Summertime! Huge staff of waiters, indoor and outdoor seating. Giant covered patio facing the Kemah Port, a field of docked Sailboats. And Kemah's theme park with roller coasters and rides right on the water. So fun, for those of us living farther inland.
I feel like I am in a skit from High School Musical 2, summer, summer, summer!
Serenity,
Madison,
Sarah,
and Kylie. All very helpful upfront and happy.
A slew of guys running around with trays in their hands and accouterments for sweeping and wiping down surfaces.
I add Onion Rings because these beasts will remind you why the Onion is King!
I also add Fried Pickles and Ranch, because I'm American.
And finally order a Squealer Burger for my wife, because I love her.
As always: the Loo Review (for my friends in the UK) Wandering back through the tight walls of, what looks like make-shift wooden walls and ceiling, like a shanty built on the waterfront, you find the bathrooms tucked, as usual, way in the back, until the actual bathroom hallway, which is very "up-to-code" clean finished mint painted sheetrock and mahogany wainscoting, just so everybody can rest assured we have your bathroom trip under control. Nothing spectacular, but bright yellow stall divider walls, and large commercial tile slabs, easy to clean with a mop, sinks, uh normal and...yep, nothing to see here...
I have literally been online with friends of mine from the UK who were like, "you're at Tookie's!? I have heard of that place, I'm so jealous..." and they should be.
You should come grab a burger and some fried treats, as well, maybe I'll catch you there!
