Awesome food, These Bad reviews are crazy!!!. I don't understand these people who had bad experiences at T-Bone Tom's. It is one of my favorite restaurants ever. Do these people not know good food. For goodness sakes all the food is made fresh from scratch and has awesome flavor. Do you people eat cardboard for dinner or what? They smoke, grill, make their own sausage, even their own barbecue sauce. You must like tofu if you don't like this food. Anyway better for me if you don't go and better for all of us who know what good food is. Love you T-Bones

Talk about a Bum Steer..... It is a cute looking place, but the food is no better than going to a cafeteria. Service was almost non-existent. Even the beer was flat and not that cold. I really hunt for a good chicken fried steak and I had heard so much about T-bone Tom's and ......what a "bum steer"....

Great Place!. I love T-Bone Tom's! I have been there numerous times and have never had a bad expirience. This place is fun with live music and a huge patio. The bbq is delicious and the meat is fresh and delicious. I take out of town guests here often and have never been disappointed. It is busy because it is GOOD!

Bland & Boring & Really Bad Service!. Typical Texas roadhouse that is living on it's laurels. This restaurant has the worst staff I think I have ever seen. The hostess seemed lost. The service was inept. You are sitting there trying to wave down anyone and you get no response. The manager or bartender or whatever he was can only be described as a "Troll" or maybe a very short "pirate". He was dirty looking and too old to be working behind a bar. The guy was yelling at everyone and spitting out vulgarities, yet he couldn't get the staff to do anything right. The food was ok. My Chicken Fried Steak was average, but the BBQ plate was decent, but it came out cold. They had a live band, but it was more of an annoyance than entertainment. I won't go back...

Just had lunch at T-Bone Toms. We just got back from lunch at T-Bone Toms and I have to say it might be the best meal of my life. I had the Toms Choice marinated Ribeye steak. It was wonderful, very tender and cooked perfectly. My wife had the Seafood Platter and she said it was the best Seafood platter she has ever had, and she eats them everywhere including Galveston and the Boardwalk place. My daughter had the Chicken Fried chicken and she ate every bite and said in the car that it was great. The service was very nice as Brenda did a great job. We will be back, probably tomorrow....

Not sure what the Hype was about.
My hubby and I wanted to try a new place for my birthday so we went to T-Bone Toms based on a few reviews he had read.
This was going to be the LAST steak dinner we were to have for a while due to a food detox we were doing so we were very excited about this place.
The outside was nothing to look twice at..looked like a dive but I don’t think much about that as we go in bcs I know most of the time the best places are these lil hidden away gems.
Not much parking, off a BUSY street and ladies beware of the walk in the parking lot a tone of rocks and pits.
We walked in and no one said a thing we had no idea to seat ourselves or wait for them to seat us. BUT it was packed so I thought that was a good sign.
It was very loud and "Mel's diner-ish" not what we were expecting.
Waiter came to wait o his and he was nice, but not so nice it made up for much.
When I asked what the difference in 2 particular steaks are he had no idea.
We got a tiny salad not to good.
Then after a LONG wait we got our steaks. My steak was 80% fat and after cutting it all away there was not much to enjoy. The greenbeans were VERY salty and the Fries (my hubby got) were yuck yuck yuck.
The bill was pretty high as well.
I much would have rathered Outback, Red Lobster or many other places. BUT at least we tried something new.
Would I go there again...NO would I tell a friend to go...NO would I order take out from there...NO
Sorry...

Not Worth the Long Wait!!!!. This place looks really interesting from the outside. You can hear the band and people are waiting forever to get a table. Then, we finally got seated and the second part of the wait began. Our drinks took 20 minutes to get. The food took an hour and when it did arrive it was undercooked and cold. The band was way too loud....service wasn't friendly.... We just wasted our entire evening waiting for bad food, while being tortured by an extremely loud band and ridiculously poor service. There are better places to go in Kemah..... We had a long weekend in Kemah and got to sample the local fair and I would pick Madeline's or Amadeus or Terrace Cafe over T-bone Tom's. Madeline's and Amadeus are pricey, but well worth it. Terrace Cafe is not much on service, but they make up for it with really good food. Even little Tequila Mia's had better food, and more to offer than......what I am trying to say ....if you go to Kemah, .....don't waste your time and money at T-bone Tom's....

Bad Food !!! - Vulgar Service!!!!. It was like the start of one of those Jay & Silent Bob movies.....the one were the guy stands outside of a Quickie Mart and cusses for 20 minutes. The short male manager was cussing out staff members in front of guest. I was glad I didn't take the kids. The food was nothing to write home about. Sort of like a hospital or high school cafeteria. They are resting on their reputation only!!! They did have a band, but it was really loud. The waitstaff looked like they just got out of prison.....Ugh! Food was below average and over priced, ....service was slow,,,,drinks were expensive......I can't recommend this to anyone!!!
