The Flying Dutchman is a unique seafood restaurant located at the Kemah Boardwalk. Our cozy, nautically themed decor offers guests casual dining at its finest. We also offer refreshing outdoor waterfront dining that gives our guests a great view of the boardwalk. Our appetizer selection offers traditional dishes like oysters on the half shell and chilled shrimp cocktail in addition to fried or sauteed crabfingers. We have an excellent selection of salads to accompany our very own original Alligator Bisque! Our extensive menu offers many variations of shrimp, crab, fish, oysters, and steak and we even have a children's menu. To finish your meal at the Flying Dutchman, try any of our delicious desserts like our Colonel Beauregard's Pie: a Southern pecan pie based on an old recipe from the Louisiana Bayou Country. This dessert treat, spiked with bourbon and chocolate chips was a favorite of Colonel Beauregard.

The famous sea legend of The Flying Dutchman tells the story of an 18th century Dutch sailing master who scorned God for giving him ill winds on his voyage. For scorning God, he was condemned to sail the seven seas without rest — allowed to go ashore only every seven years to seek his salvation. His salvation would be a woman who would be faithful to him 'til death. Did he find such a woman? Even today, many sailors swear that on foggy nights they've seen the Dutchman's ghost ship with black mast and red sails drifting slowly past them. These reports have come from all parts of the world. Who would deny a sailor's tale?
