Food is always amazing and service is great! We eat here regularly since it's so close to our office. Highly recommend!

Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: 3.4/5 This was okay. The crawfish was pretty flavorful but verged on being too salty for me and my family. The seafood platter we got was extremely salty and really hard to eat anything in it. The boudin was solid, though it was a little oily tasting and was extremely heavy. The fried platter we got was pretty good, as well as the oysters on the half shell. The sandwich and wings were both pretty okay, with nothing really special about either. With so many places here that do a similar thing, though, I feel that this restaurant doesn't strive to do anything to make itself stand out other than certain deals that they offer. Wish I enjoyed this more. Still, I really love crawfish... read more

Absolutely delious pork chops. Service was amazing! Can't wait to go back! Prices were acceptable and very comparable to other restaurants in the area. read more

We went for crawfish. While it is very early in the season, we know that crawfish will be small, but we wanted that spice, zing, and that Cajun flavor! Was it there? Not exactly... there were two spice flavors to choose from, spicy and extra spicy. Our friends went with the extra spicy and said they were very salty. We went with the spicy, they were very far from any kind of spice. We also were not aware that on Wednesday night they have singo bingo, so getting a table is pretty much non existent. Luckily, I saw some friends so we joined their table. The restaurant also has a smoking section. It wasn't super smoky which was a pleasant surprise. Hopefully they will get the spices for the crawfish down because this could be a really great spot! read more

Rusty Hook Bar & Grill - 5lbs of crawfish with potatoes and corn - Bars Near Me - Bacliff, Texas

Laid-back spot with a solid vibe. Stopped by Rusty Hook Bar & Grill in Kemah and had a good visit overall. The service was great from start to finish. Bar staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Definitely a sports bar atmosphere, TVs everywhere, good energy, and always a plus catching Sunday NFL action. Go Texans. The staff really adds to the experience. Super cool and on top of things without being overbearing. Food-wise: Chips & queso: decent, nothing crazy -- 3/5 stars. Burger: hit the spot, juicy and flavorful -- 4/5 stars All in all, a relaxed place to hang out, grab a bite, and watch some sports with good people taking care of you. Would come back. read more

Zero out of ten stars. Boushays was way better. Walked in and walked straight out. Open the doors and you're hit with a waft of cigarette smoke like a time travel machine to the 80s . I don't understand how you have the garage style windows wide open and it STILL reeks of cigs. The hostess asked if we wanted smoking or non smoking. She points to the food buffet area as the SMOKING section. Just for clarification, I asked again if what I heard was right. WHY and HOW is the SMOKING section NEXT to the open food area, and the non smoking clear across the other side of the restaurant? Made zero sense. Sounds unsanitary. So I left. But when it was boushays it was family oriented and the seafood and crawfish were amazing. They had face painting and balloons. Never again ...rather go to steak night at the strip club next door. read more

Rox: the only spot to rival Guidry's crawfish with DD spice with their 5X spice! Love a good basic salad bar too. Bartender was on it! Also it was cute in there. Mike: oysters were good, service was great, love a heavy pour! Will definitely be back. Often. read more

Rusty Hook Bar & Grill - Brisket is a must have! - Bars Near Me - Bacliff, Texas

We came deep, loud, and STARVING--and somehow Rusty Hook didn't even flinch. The team handled us like seasoned pros. Shoutout to them for keeping the food flowing and the energy warm, even though we were acting like we hadn't seen a meal in weeks Let me be real... I got the mild crawfish because me and spice? We don't always get along. But babyyyy that mild was flavor-packed and FIRE (not spicy fire--just the good kind). Juicy, garlicky, buttery, and bold. It was giving Southern seafood magic. Between the great vibes, the patient staff, and the food that made me rethink my whole spice tolerance--Rusty Hook is IT. Whether you're ordering mild or sweating through extra spicy, this place hits every time. Highly recommend. And if you hear a loud table laughing too hard? Mind your business. It might be us. read more

beware these people are crooks, my family went in for lunch. I ordered the seafood buffet, my daughter ordered tenders and fries and my ordered a boil package that was over $35 because my daughter took a bite from my salad bar while she was waiting on her food to arrive they it upon themselves to charge me twice for the seafood buffet. I didn't even make a second trip to the buffet and I didn't pile my plate up or make a second trip. This is wrong and very crooked. Beware if you take your family there don't let them take a bite of your buffet because they will rip you off and charge you double. We will not be back. read more

We stopped in on the way back from Baytown and still had a drive home to Galveston but wanted a little something. Husband had the baked potato and I had the seared Tuna. We both had water since we were driving. The tunaxwas fressking outstanding! The wasabi was not too hot, tuna seared perfectly, served with pickled onions, slaw, lettuce and soy sauce. The tuna was awesome by itself. I barely used the sow. And huge helping that this glutton scarfed! I saw lots of folks getting crawfish and that they have daily specials during the week. Good on ya, Rusty Hook. Oh I loved that our order was paid tableside! Very convenient l. The baked potato could have used more bacon but husband ate meost of it regardless. Huge space! Go check it out! read more

First time visit to The Rusty Hook. It's crawfish season so.... The crawfish were still small - can't blame the restaurant for that. They were seasoned well and I enjoyed them despite their size. Husband ordered a double meat burger. Problem was the burger didn't come with double meat. We had to ask other waiters to find our waiter. Once our order came, he never came back. My husband was halfway through the burger before we saw him again. We weren't going to complain we just didn't want to pay for double meat since we didn't get it. Place was hopping so I think it might have been a dud night for us but still don't think we'll go back. read more

The crawfish were ok, good price. Seasoning should be in the boiling water, not sprinkled on after . The banana pudding was not good It was like fake cool whip mixed with dried pudding. Oily taste. read more

Great choices, absolutely fresh and yummy. Service was great. I would highly recommend. Love the place. Basic and clean.

Our experience was dismal. We waited the better part of an hour for half of our food. It took so long to get our food that we honestly almost left. Our food finally came out and 2 of the 4 meals were wrong. They offered to remake it, but as long as it took the first time, we'd just be here for a two hour lunch with half of our party watching the other half eat at any given time. It seemed like a fun looking place, but I'm leaving more hungry and now pretty much just angry. read more

We had 1 lb of non spicy crawfish. They had considerable heat regardless. The prices are great here. The ambiance is very casual, nothing fancy. The only disappointment was that they offer cheap sweet wines, almost like boxed wine. They do have a full bar. read more

Food is good but service sucks. Waited 50 minutes to be seated and then was ignored by waitstaff for another 20 min. Also took the waitstaff over 10 min to even acknowledge us and put us on the waitlist. read more

If you are looking for a bar that has live music and pool tables along with other games and has ice cold beers in the bucket... then RHB&G is your place. If you are looking for good food then I am sorry to say that you won't find it here. The food was bland and is just your typical bar food.... Would I come back? For a cold beer YES. For the record the service was excellent and our waitress was friendly... definitely service with a smile. So let it be written.... So let it be EATEN. read more

Seasoning was good, too bad everything was cold. Half the crawfish were dead before they were cooked. Heard only good reviews about the place so I am very let down by what we had. read more

Rusty Hook Bar & Grill - Cold crawfish - Bars Near Me - Bacliff, Texas

We went for crawfish. They were pretty good. Asked for spicy and didn't feel they were spicy. Overall the food was good. The service was not so good. Our waiter took our drink and food order all at the same time. Which was a red flag for me. It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we waited about 40 mins to get a table. We had to continue to waive our waiter down for drinks, missing butter and waters. Which we ordered all on the first visit to our table. They do smoke inside the building. It honestly did not bother me as a non smoker but the bay doors were all open. So I'm sure that helped a lot. My friend said the table behind us was smoking and I didn't know it. I feel the long wait to get a table is due to the slow service. If you want something fast I wouldn't suggest eating here. If you have a few hours to burn then go here. read more

This was our first time at this place, we came For the crawfish. As soon as we walked in you get hit with the smell of nasty cigarettes. They ALLOW smoking inside. So take that into consideration when coming here. I can't believe it's 2025 and there are still places allowing indoor smoking. The crawfish was ok nothing amazing. Won't be back because of the smoking. So disgusting read more

This place has been named different every time I visit this place and every time I get suckered into going here by people who dont know its past. The first time was probably the best dining experience I have ever had during a crawfish season. Every time I have been back to this place(Under different name) it has been lacking what the previous visit had. read more

we ordered 120lbs on Saturday May 30, 2026 for a graduation party and it was Delicious. All of our guests really enjoyed it. It was so good and the spice was on point. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. read more

Friendly customers and staffs too. It's a good place to have dinner and drinks. They offer a lot of dinner buffets.

Really wanted some good crawfish,we went with some friends, all 4 of us loved the blue crab, snow crab, and crawfish! Service was on point. This is low key vibe, everyone enjoyed themselves. I did ask if I could order a bottle of wine( they had buckets of beer) and the server was really nice said she didn't know but would go ask. She came back and said I could not because they don't order wine for the restaurant often? I was confused by this answer, but let it go. So... not a good answer, hence the 4 star. Otherwise everything was great. read more

I waited for at least 15 minutes outside for our server after being sat. I saw a total of three servers for 7 tables (technically six since we hadn't been served). Between that time as well one table left, so 5 tables between 3 servers and nobody came or looked our direction. read more

Discovered this place a few weeks ago and it's been on my mind. I had the crab legs in extra spicy seasoning and the first 2 times they were amazing! Took my mom and daughter recently and it was not great. They did have a great happy hour. My shrimp were rubbery. The crab was overdone and hard to shell. I didn't want to complain so we ate them but I will not be back for a while. At least not for the food. I was embarrassed since I brought guests with me. I know the staff changes but this was prob reboiled food. Maybe it's the busy weekends that are better. I usually go on Friday or Saturday. We have had good service at the bar and the table. One complaint though...bartender kept bringing beers when we didn't ask. I don't like conflict so by the time we all figured out we didn't order them we just drank them and paid. I'd prefer to be asked. But overall it's a cool place. I'll ask them to not overcook my seafood boil next time. Even the corn was rubbery. I don't like leaving negative reviews but this is how management can make it better. read more

Yum. Yum. Yum. That's all. Ha! Rusty Hook has a great selection of options for all your meals. Relaxed, laid back atmosphere, come in and get ready to feel good and full. Staff always makes sure you leave feeling 'fat and happy'. read more

don't leave reviews often, but I felt this experience was worth sharing. Most of our meal was actually enjoyable. The appetizers were great, and our server was fantastic. You could tell she was stretched thin, constantly running between tables, but she still gave us excellent service. No complaints about her whatsoever. The issue was with our crawfish. We ordered about $100 worth and waited 20-30 minutes, only for it to arrive cold. We sent it back, and it came out barely warm the second time. When we raised the concern, the manager told us that crawfish "can't be steaming if it's seasoned" which simply isn't true. I've been to plenty of crawfish spots where it comes out hot and well-seasoned. It seemed clear that the food runners dropped the ball, since our server was doing everything she could. The manager didn't seem particularly concerned about the situation, though we do appreciate that the crawfish was taken off our bill. We've heard great things about this place, and we're willing to give it another shot. Hopefully next time the food matches the hype. read more

We had a kinda long wait, but we had good waiters, and i got hotdogs, and they were steamed, but they made microwaved ones. You should come!

So we had dinner at the Rusty Hook and it was unfortunately a disappointment. We hard a buffet which was decent and ordered a 3 lb crawfish platter which took in excess of an hour to arrive. Now, was the place busy? Yes but did people order crawfish after us and then receive their order before us? Also yes. Then we we (politely) asked about it, we were told it was coming. Over and over we were told. People that sat down after us received multiple platters of mud bugs piled high. We were told the staff was short handed. That doesn't address the order you probably forgot to put in or get set aside on accident. The manager came out to bring us our food after an hour and nearly fifteen minutes and again mentioned that they were short handed. Except that more people had come and gone and we were still waiting until she got there late. Didn't offer to knock down the price, free dessert, anything. Service mistakes happen, in every restaurant. People make errors and forget to turn things in or someone grabs someone else's platter. It's what you do afterwards that makes a difference. Unfortunately in this case, nothing was done afterwards. Final ruling. While the food was good (not great the potatoes weren't cooked in the boil which was weird) there are better options for your dollar. read more
