Flying Dutchman was a renowned seafood restaurant cherished in the Kemah, Texas area for decades. It was situated on the picturesque Kemah Boardwalk, offering guests a unique dining experience with stunning waterfront views.
The restaurant was celebrated for its fresh seafood offerings, including specialties like Louisiana Cajun Gumbo, live crawfish (seasonally), Island Redfish, Mahi Acapulco, and a variety of seafood platters.
In addition to seafood dishes, Flying Dutchman featured pastas, chicken, and steaks, catering to a diverse range of tastes. The spacious patio provided an ideal setting for guests to enjoy meals while watching boats cruise by.
The restaurant had been a mainstay in the Kemah community, known for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to quality. However, on December 31, 2024, Flying Dutchman closed its doors after nearly 50 years of operation.
The closure was part of an "exciting transformation" planned by Landry's, the parent company that acquired Flying Dutchman in 1997. Specific details of the transformation have not been publicly disclosed.
