About us

We invite you to
come eat with us

Boardwalk Ice House is a Gulf Coast Cajun icehouse on the water in Kemah, Texas. James Caldwell built it around one idea: real food made from scratch, served cold beer cold, with no pretense and no reservation required. The wings are smoked on site. The roux is hand made. The Bushwacker is the real thing. Come find us on the boardwalk.

Why people choose us?

Real Cajun food made from scratch on the Kemah waterfront. Here is what sets us apart.

Cajun Wings Done Right

Every batch of wings is coated in our house Cajun rub, smoked at 250 degrees for two hours, then flashed hot to order. No shortcuts, no bags.

Étouffée You Say

The crawfish étouffée starts with a hand made blonde roux and the Holy Trinity. The remoulade is made in house. Everything on the menu is built from real ingredients.

Cold Drinks In Kemah

Twenty taps, four frozen cocktail machines, and the Boardwalk Bushwacker. The kind of drinks that go with Gulf Coast heat and a view of the water.

Real Gulf Coast Cajun food keeps people coming back.
Here is what they have to say about Boardwalk Ice House.

The wings are the real deal

We drove down from Nassau Bay on a Saturday and ended up staying for three hours. The wings come out crispy with the smoke still in them. The Bushwacker is dangerously good. We will be back! Thanks for having us James.

Best spot on the Kemah waterfront.

Finally a place on the boardwalk that takes the food seriously. The crawfish roll was outstanding and the frozen margarita was perfect in the heat. Feels like a locals spot even though we just found it. James, the owner is super nice!

Those loaded fries are unreal.

We ordered the loaded Cajun fries as a side and ended up ordering a second round as a main. The étouffée on top of the fries is not something you expect to work as well as it does. Outstanding.

Exactly what Kemah was missing.

A proper icehouse with Cajun food made from scratch. The catfish tacos were fresh and the hushpuppies were perfect. Cold beer, good food, within a stones throw of the water. Cannot ask for more than that.
