We visit Tookies with my son a lot, each visit has been phenomenal! Great service, fresh delicious food. His favorite being the blackened catfish with dirty rice & twice baked potato. The ahi tacos from the appetizer menu are so good!

Shawn was our server and he was phenomenal. Shrimp was good, crab cakes were big, dense, and delicious. Mac and cheese was mid. Tartar sauce was really good. The brownie dessert thing was amazing. And the Dr Pepper... I love fountain dr pepper but this was exceptionally good. They must take really good care and clean the fountains daily. Would recommend.

We got oysters on happy hour, delicious! I tried the wood grilled Texas Red Fish which was perfectly prepared; no need for blackened or lemon pepper option. The Gumbo is good too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tookie’s in Seabrook is the kind of Gulf Coast gem that makes you want to grab everyone you know and say, “You HAVE to eat here!” My wife, mother-in-law, and I walked in on a busy night and were seated right away. Our server, Tony, was on the ball — friendly, fast, and the kind of guy who makes you feel like you’ve been coming here for years. We started with a dozen raw oysters on the half shell that were plump, briny, and kissed with just the right saltwater snap. Add in the deviled eggs topped with mesquite-grilled shrimp and you’ve got a starter that screams Texas coastal charm. Sure, the deviled egg filling could have used a little more kick, but those shrimp were worth writing home about. Then came the moment of truth: my grilled Texas Redfish. Oh my. The mesquite smoke danced over the fish without overpowering it, locking in that seasoning like a secret handshake between chef and flame. Paired with crisp, colorful summer veggies, it was easily the best redfish I’ve ever eaten. My wife’s seared tuna salad was so fresh and vibrant it needed no extra words — she just smiled with every bite. My mother-in-law’s shrimp scampi had her grinning ear to ear, the garlic butter mingling perfectly with tender shrimp and those same summer veggies. This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a place where the Gulf breeze meets mesquite smoke, where seafood is treated with respect, and where the staff makes you feel like part of the family. Whether you’re a party of two or a crowd, Tookie’s is ready to make your night special. We’ll be back. Oh yes, we’ll be back. — Mike “Big Chief” Hiatt, host of The Whiskey Trip podcast

First time at this restaurant, and it lived up to my expectations. I loved the food, the atmosphere, and the service was fast, friendly, and very attentive. My visit was to try the crab legs, and they were delicious.

This place is pretty cool. A little history with flare. Not tacky at all food was way better than I expected. Not common bar food. Was looking for a nice place to try while in town and I’ll definitely be back. 10 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Clean well decorated restaurant accessible by stairs or elevator. Great staff, fresh flavorful food. Very impressed. Wide variety of menu items as well as a weekday lunch special menu. The restaurant was a little chilly so bring a sweater. But the music was not too loud, which is a relief.

My wife and I went to Tookie’s Seafood Friday night for an early dinner. I wish I could remember my waitress’s name but she was very pleasant, polite and informative. We shared had the Fried Calamari & Jalapeños as an appetizer with 2 Cajun Queens for our entrees. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, reminded me of being home in New Orleans. I enjoyed everything about our visit and will definitely be back the next time I’m in town!

Fast preparation. Wide selection of choices. Neat clean and well balanced and executed. Pleasant waitress who clearly knows the menu and how things are prepared.

Étouffée Plate was so good. I also tried the pasta, gumbo, shrimp devil eggs & pecan cheese cake. The devil eggs on the shrimp was really good but I prob would only and definitely go back for the strawberry lemonade mocktail & that étouffée plate. The greens and baked potato was advised by my waiter to try and he did not miss. Those sides both were delicious. I’ll be back for that and I want to try their real drinks :) It was peaceful and welcoming inside and nice parking lot.

Food was ok. I thought of it like home cooked. The waiter, Jacob was very nice and helpful. He kept our drinks filled the whole time. The people who worked at Tookies Seafood were very professional and polite.

Very good food (I had the shrimp tacos, rice and black beans) and really great and fast service - especially with a group of 21! Fun atmosphere too! I will return.

Cool vibe, but in all honesty, I’m completely disappointed. I got a fried fish and oyster Poboy. The catfish was one small and very thin fillet that spent way too long in the fryer. It was dry and crunchy. The four or five small oysters were mostly cornmeal with a chewy center. The day-old french bread was even tougher to chew than oysters. The tomatoes were bland and the overbearing remoulade sauce tasted like horseradish with a generous squirt of thousand island. Thanks but no thanks… I’ll stick with their hamburger joint just down the road. PS - this excuse of a sandwich (just water to drink) was $17.31 before tip.

This place is okay at best. I would suggest skipping the deviled eggs topped with shrimp. The devil eggs were good, but the shrimp was tough. The fried alligator was also tough. Eveeything else we had was pretty good but over all, the price of the food for the quality doesn't match up. Nothing about this place would bring me back.

Tookies is a casual seafood spot that serves up pretty typical fare — fried shrimp, fish baskets, and other coastal staples. The portions were decent and priced reasonably for what you get. The food itself wasn’t anything remarkable, but it hit the spot if you’re just looking for a laid-back seafood meal.The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience enjoyable despite a few shortcomings. My only real disappointment was the Long Island during happy hour — it tasted more like sour mix than anything else, with barely a hint of liquor. Definitely not the drink to order there.Overall, Tookies isn’t the place for a fancy night out, but it’s a solid choice if you want casual seafood and good service. I’d probably go back again for a no-frills meal or a quick drink with friends.

This was my 1st time and I was super excited to eat here. The atmosphere was great and service was on point, however, for me and my family, the food was lacking. The overall flavor just wasn't what we anticipated. The stuffing in the stuffed shrimp was a little mushy maybe undercooked, the stuffed catfish needed some seasoning and the poboy wasn't anything exciting. Now we did enjoy the fried pickles! Let me say, the food was not terrible it was just under seasoned for our taste buds.

The oyster and the snow crab overcooked. Probably because they busy for Thursday special ( snow crab $14.99 for 1 claw) Calamari perfect. The host not friendly at all.. she’s not greeting, no smile and walk so slow to the table like no energy. Server not go great also. I just stop by after visited Kemah board walk.
