“ We were in town for a few days and staying within walking distance of this place, so we walked over for lunch one day. The vibe was "family dive" - and we loved it! Hubby got the oyster po boy, and his only quit bleeding was the tangy sauce they put on it. He wished he would have known it came with a side, because he would have gotten it on the side. I got one of the lunch special fried chicken sandwich options - it was nothing short of amazing! The chicken was larger than the bun, so I was able to cut off a piece to share with the hubs. We also got a side of fries and onion rings - both were top-notch. Can't wait to come back here next time we are in town! ”
“ Some of the best fried oysters around! Joe Lee's is not pretentious, simply good food, clean inside with so much hospitality! Somehow I lost my photos but I had the oysters and my mom had a combo that was so big she took 2/3rds home. Everything was hot, crisp and delish! The servers constantly checked in on all the tables as the walked by, we felt very welcome and cared for. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ Joe Lee's is where locals eat. So you know it's good and great value. Forget the Kemah Boardwalk! They have a daily special as well as daily lunch specials. Every Tuesday is taco Tuesday, $2.49 taco (fish or shrimp, blackened, grilled or fried). The sauce that came with them was perfect! ”
“ It's been a while since we been back to Joe Lee's. We had just left Kemah Boardwalk with the little one and wanted seafood. I have never had a bad experience here. We came in probably about an hour before closing time and staff were very welcoming and amazing. Didn't get a picture of my wife's burger but she had their S.S.B.G ultimate and it was as she remembered it. My platter came out fresh, hot and everything was the delicious. The kiddo ate half the fried fish herself. If you're in Kemah come show your support! ”
