    5lbs of crawfish with potatoes and corn
    Jessica S.

    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!

    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.

    Salad bar

    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.

    Brisket is a must have!

    YOU CAN SMOKE HERE! Also the food is phenomenal and I now understand why parking is always full.

    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.

    I get the chicken fried chicken each time I come and it's great! Came out fast and speedy, but I admit the mac n cheese could be better. Stick with the fries and you'll have a great meal! Good pricing too and nice music!

    Now is this a lot is seared tuna or what!?
    Lisa V.

    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!

    Service is terrible, but then so is the food. Won't make the same mistake twice. Giving it a 1 star rating is more than generous...

    Great food. A little slow but worth the wait. Nice patio are. Good place for birthdaysread more

    It's really hard for me to write this review & I'm teetering between 2 & 3 stars, BUT kindness goes…read morea long way with me so I'm giving 3. I've been wanting to try Main St. Bistro, so when my sister suggested it for Easter, I was down. We had a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids). We got there around 1:00 on Easter Sunday & didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. A man took our drink order. My brother-in-law asked to go ahead & order two appetizers. Our waitress, Natalie, came shortly after, introduced herself & confirmed the appetizers. We were brought 4 small cubes of banana bread, which felt weird since there were 7 of us. My toddler & my niece both had a whole one. The other two were split between 4 adults. My brother-in-law didn't have any. The appetizers came out fairly quickly & were gone just as fast. We finally ordered right at 2:00 after a little wait & indecisiveness. Then my son was done sitting in a highchair. My husband and brother-in-law took the kids outside. They played for a bit & walked two laps around the whole strip center. They came back, still no food. My son had a complete meltdown since he was both hungry & now tired, my brother-in-law asked if there was any way they could just rush my son's food. They did and he started eating, everyone was so hungry that they had some bites of his food as well. My mom went to ask the manager if our food was close to being ready. The answer was no, there was a whole list of orders ahead of ours. The manager was kind enough to bring us some spinach dip & apologized for the wait, explaining she was dreading today because the kitchen wasn't equipped for the Easter crowd. She assured us that they were working as fast as possible & we appreciated her honesty & effort. My mom went to her car & asked us to let her know when her food came. Our food finally started arriving at 3:17, and not all at once. My sister's meal came last. By this time my son was done & was getting restless while we had JUST started eating. The food itself was disappointing. My sister and I both ordered Benedicts. Mine (Boudin Benny) wasn't hot and was mushy instead of seared. Both of our poached eggs were undercooked. My sister's also had a large amount of cream cheese that wasn't listed and didn't taste good. Other issues: my mom's fries were cold, my brother-in-law said his chicken fried steak was no good. He ate it because he was hungry, and while my husband liked his sandwich & was happy with it, his fries were cold. My niece enjoyed her burger. My son's shrimp, fries, & macaroni were all hot and good... likely because they were rushed for him. It was 3:45 by the time we left. They close at 3. We received a 40% discount, but there was also a 20% automatic gratuity added, which some in our party didn't expect. Here's where they earn stars back... Natalie was great! She took great care of us & kept apologizing for the delay. We could tell that she felt bad, but it was not her fault. The manager also came by checking on us multiple times & got us settled as best she could. She brought us spinach dip while we waited & she made sure that my toddler got food very quickly after being asked about it. She did thank us multiple times for our kindness & patience. As did Natalie. I too, was appreciative of the kindness they showed us. Most of us have all worked in food service before & we understand that the wait staff can only do so much. We also understand being slammed in the kitchen & how fast paced they have to work in order to handle rushes. I appreciate the 40% discount... 20% after the tip. This review was based on one trip & I will update my review if/when I return. But this visit was definitely not a great experience & if it weren't for the kindness, I'd be leaving one star.
