Restaurants in Rockport

“We love going to Stevie Lews every year we visit from Alaska. They know how to bring on the smoke when it comes to smoking meat! The sides are like homemade family picnic style. Comfort food at its best in a casual and rustic indoor setting. Always feels like you’re at a family get together, eating the most delicious foods. I’m impressed at the smart business side of keeping the menu perfectly to the point of great smoked meat and sides until they run out. Friendly, family owned business with a welcoming staff who greet you with smiles. Proud to be annual customers. Keep doing great things y’all 🤠”

“Enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner tonight! I would highly recommend Gabriela’s!”

“Best food ever. over 2 years we have been there numerous times. staff always friendly. very healthy servings and always delicious.”

“This is a must try. The burgers are scrumptious and the menu leaves no stone unturned. Did I mention the burgers? I’m so happy y’all are now 2 blocks from my house.”

“My second time to eat here. Outstanding food with great customer service. Don't let the hole in the wall appearance fool you. Sometimes the rustic places are the beat.”

“They will cook your catch here and do a fantastic job doing it. they serve it family style with your choice of sides with hush puppies and coleslaw. The service is fun and efficient. The full bar is also a plus with every thing including non alcohol beers and topo Chico. You will enjoy it.”

“Service is outstanding at Whiskey Palm and the atmosphere is so cool! Bourbon selection is the best! They have a great craft drink menu with your standard mix drinks being available also, plus they offer beer, seltzers, etc. A must visit while in Rockport, TX. And once you go, you’ll be back!”

“OMG! What a gem!! The hubs and I dropped in for some fresh seafood and was not disappointed at all. We did some Black Friday shopping first and then desperately needed a cold beer and a snacky snack. The beer was ice cold, the oysters, ice cold and very fresh! But the real treat was the boil. Spicy lemon seasoning on boiled shrimp, crab clusters, sausage, potatoes and corn. We shared and it was the perfect amount. Oh....the service was spot on!!”

“This has become our favorite place for date night. The servers are always too notch and the food is EXCELLENT. Highly recommend!”

“Best place in town! The carnitas are amazing; the ranchero sauce makes all the difference. Breakfast tacos are always great, this is the only place in town we go!”

“Best venue for live Bands. Always great service, with bartenders who can mix a good drink. Always a good time.”

“First all the options for bowls and burritos is incredible. Everything is fresh and well seasoned. Ordered 2 bowls today for the first time and couldn’t believe how big they were. Enough for 2 meals, but unfortunately I at the whole thing, it was that good. My boss enjoyed her as well. The lady that took my order over the phone was very polite and didn’t rush me. My husband picked up the order and brought it to me at work, he said the place was cute inside and very clean. Can’t wait to order again.”

“Best place ever! ❤️ Always good food, Good music, GREAT staff! Perfect experience every time!”

“Best burger and loaded fries we have eaten in a long time!”

“Place was awsome and very friendly,had the cream cheese and strawberry kolaches. Must try.😋”

“I have tried frappes all over from here to St. Louis and I can and will say that this is the best one I have had. It is smooth and creamy, not bitter or sharp. Even after I had her add shots of espresso to it. The prices are also very reasonable, I can't say enough good things about this shop. I will definitely be back. The shop owner is also very sweet and helpful.”

“Fabulous ice cream!!! If you are in Rockport, this place is a must see. Absolutely adorable with huge selection of candies and chocolates. Bring the kids, bring a date. I just recommend you try it. I had butter pecan ice cream. It had almost equal parts pecans and ice cream.”

“The menu is awesome and I loved the Pumpkin Mocha. I enjoyed the setting and of course I loved the boutique, I mean what girl doesn’t love a little shopping while sipping on an amazing coffee 😃 I will definitely be back!!”

“Coffee is great. Everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be back.”

“Best coffee and service in town! Super friendly and accommodate special requests! The quiche is so delicious and pastries by The Kneady Bakery are perfect.”

“10/10 would recommend. We visited Rockport for the first time for my husbands birthday / our baby-moon and we were excited to have great food throughout our stay... but were a little disappointed with a few of our first choices. That was until we started asking locals where the best food in town was. Several people pointed us to Copano's and it did not disappoint. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer, which were a great portion size and so good. My husband got a glass of cabernet, and their wine prices were super reasonable. Then for main courses, I got their 7 oz Filet which was cooked perfectly - tender and juicy. And My husband got their scallops, which he said were melt-in-your-mouth perfection. We finished off with their seasonal dessert of a MASSIVE chocolate brownie topped with ice cream... and when I tell you it was the best brownie we've ever had I am not exaggerating. Our server, Arianna, was some of the best service we have had in a long time. She explained all the specials, was prompt and personable (despite being triple sat) and checked on us at all the right times. Some people are just GREAT at serving, and it makes the whole experience - Arianna is one of them.

We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends.”

“Great service and great food. Being being from Lafayette La. I’m supper picky about both,ya I’m arrogant. I wish I could remember the servers name (maybe ALLY) but will know her smile. It was busy and that’s when good restaurants shine and second rate businesses fail. I’m on the road a lot and look for these kind of treasures. I might baffle the wall sound with products made just for that. But that’s a small thing.”

“We stopped here Monday 11/3/2025 breakfast at a local restaurant - as we just arrived to Rockport area night before as we'll be here all winter - the Food was OMG so good...Eggs Benedict w/ hashbrowns was so scrumptious... Hubby ordered the French toast....- this will definitely be our go to local place while we're here - portions are large and price is really affordable - staff makes everyone feel welcome.”

“By far, best bar in Rockport!!!”

“Food was very good. I guarantee you will not go away hungry. The gumbo is served in a 2qt bowl and is outstanding. It is not as pricey as it seems for the amount of food you get. Staff was professional. Get there early or you will be waiting outside to get in as it has limited sitting space but again the food is well worth the wait. CASH ONLY! Plan on the 18% gratuity to be automatically. added to the ticket. One downside is you cannot make a reservation for larger parties.”

“Excellent breakfast at a great price. Bacon, eggs, home fries, salsa, tortillas PLUS coffee for only $12. Very comfortable booth and polite wait staff. I went to a breakfast place at the other end of this shopping center last week and it cost more with less food, plus the coffee was twice the price.”

“We managed to get here twice during our three days in Aransas Pass. Great place to spend an afternoon. And so much fun tasting the in-house-made wines and beers. We did not go home empty handed. Worth the stop if you’re in Rockport!”

“Gotta say love the service!! Never had to ask to refill or get a to go box. The place always looks clean and inviting. The salads are great for the price always packed with greens and blue cheese. Keep up the good work Panjos!! ?”

“July 4, 2025 at 1:28 pm. Arrived at the “Bar B Que Shack,” 701 Palmetto Avenue, Fulton, Texas 78358. We were seated promptly and our friendly waitress took our order promptly (As usual). Ordered the BBQ 2 Meat Plate (Ribs and Lean Brisket) and 2 Sides that my wife and I shared at $17.85 plus tax for this great plate. Like I said, every time we go we always get seated promptly and served promptly! Dependable place to get great food from Burgers, Fish and BBQ! Highly recommend! GO There!

“Best subway ever! Ladies were so nice and they had literally everything as far as toppings. I feel like so many subway franchises never have anything anymore. These guys had all the breads, sauces, veggies, cookies, chips, drinks. Best subway I’ve been to in 20yrs!”

“Tried to get Mac’s to cater my wedding. Been going to this restaurant for almost 30 years and was super disappointed when I was supposed to recieve a call back later that afternoon and ended up waiting 4-5 days for the return calls. Had to order another bbq place to cater for me when my wife specifically asked me for Mac’s. Still love this place but a little heartbroken they couldn’t pull through for us on our biggest day”

“I want to say a huge THANK YOU to Lucas Guerra at Rockport Bakery for the amazing job he did on my nephew’s graduation cake. Not only did it look great, it tasted amazing! My new “go to place” for cakes!”

“Good food, service and atmosphere.”

“the food was very good, we enjoyed it a few time before never a bad experience till this time. we got our ticket and left a cash tip. I wrote the total and left. turns out they gave themselves an extra tip and changed my total charge. it was Christmas eve so they stole a tip on Christmas eve. jolly holly tip, I didnt dispute it cause it wasnt alot but it was still the principle of it. not sure if id go back to eat. Definitely paying cash cause you cant trust your card there.”

“My friends and I always eat at Charlotte Plummers when we gather at Port A. That’s about 30-40 years! The salad bar is great, and I never have heard anyone complain about anything.. This time I had the fish tacos, and they were wonderful. Didn’t need the salad bar as the tacos were enough!”
