The Lone Star State is full of unique places to eat, but you’ve never seen anything quite like this. Dive underwater and dine among fish, sharks, stingrays, and other sea creatures at the Kemah Aquarium Restaurant in Texas.

The exterior looks like that of any other ordinary restaurant. You're probably picturing some cheesy decor like seashell-shaped chairs or maybe a small fish tank at the most, but the Kemah Aquarium offers an underwater dining adventure like nothing you've ever seen before.

As soon as you step inside, you'll feel as if you've taken a submarine all the way down to the depths of the ocean. The floor is glass-bottomed and walking on it makes you feel as if you're floating in the water. Giant lamps extend downwards from the ceiling, glowing a dim blue and leading into giant rock tables resembling similar structures under the sea.

Not only is the entire dining room reminiscent of a brilliant underwater scene, but guests also get to marvel at a 50,000 gallon fish tank in the middle of the restaurant. A wide variety of fish, sharks, stingrays, and other sea creatures make their home here, and the spectacle makes a nice talking point when conversation starts to run dry.

We can't forget about dessert! The "Shark Tank" is a quirky treat sure to satisfy even the most aggressive appetites. A gooey lava cake is topped with ice cream, chocolate sauce, and a cute little cookie in the shape of a shark. They might be the ocean's greatest predators, but they don't stand a chance against a table of ravenous humans.
