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 🤠”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Food was so good! Decent price with huge portions. My nephew tried indian for the first time and is absolutely hooked. We both had the butter chicken with garlic naan. Sooo good! Thank you for the early dinner!!! ❤️”

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

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

“The foods and salads are wonderful.
I had a turkey sandwich with a watermelon feta cheese tomato salad it was excellent.
My friend had a spring roll that was amazing, and she also had the seafood soup
All of it was great.
They serve wine.
It's a great little Cafe if you want to get away from all the fried foods in town.
You go to the counter to order.
Everthing you would like to order is you can see in a case.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
👍”

“I was in Rockport with friends and checked out Main Street Coffee House. I had the “Wildflower”and it was the best lavender latte I have ever had!!! My friends enjoyed their drinks as well. Can’t wait to go back again! Such cute decor and comfortable seating!”

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

“Visited for the first time today and I just have to commend this business. First- the customer service was phenomenal. The young ladies working today were so kind, patient, and overall you could tell they were good people. Second- the selections available for chocolate, ice cream, candy to bag, and prepackaged candy was pretty impressive. They had things that ranged from the novelty school cigarette gum to the insect candies with ants, worms, or scorpions with some spicy competition candy mixed in. Highly recommend for something fun to do if you have some time to kill.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“One thing you can bank on for sure at PanJo’s pizza no matter what you order. It’s always good. The price is comparable to any other place you go not counting pizza but pretty much anywhere else. It is definitely the go to for pizza for sure. Hamburgers for sure. Well, I guess I could say for sure for anything else.”

“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!”

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

“We ate here for the first time last weekend, won’t be the last, not only was the food outstanding, we were taken care of, seated quickly with no reservation, next time I’ll make one, but the biggest thing was we were in from Houston and I left my credit card there, they overnighted it to Houston for me….all this to say customer for life!!”

“Awesome bar with some cold beer!”

“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.”

“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!

“I’ll have to get some jalapeño relish now so that I can make all my grilled cheeses with it. That and the other veggie sandwich I tried were surprisingly amazing coming from such a nondescript little building. The restroom was out of order which was inconvenient on a road trip but I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Rockport!”

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

“true story! wife and i were looking for the expensive good seafood restaurant in rockport we went to last year. couldn’t remember the name and needed to get on the road so googled seafood and picked
Nemo’s. we were blown away.
our waitress, Tracy was a hoot!
fantastic service & great fun attitude! we’re definitely hitting this place every time we’re down here fishing. ended up cheaper and better than our original pick!”

“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.”

“Delicious daiquiris! The pina colada is perfect. Several flavors to mix in also! The half gallon to-go container is perfect!”

“Quick and efficient! Good and hot, can’t speak to others issues as we had none.”

It is one of the highlights of our trip. Be sure to try the Oysters Gilroy or the Shrimp Gilroy (or both)!”

We had breakfast tacos and they were delicious. Better than other taco places in Rockport. I highly recommend!”

“Good food at affordable prices. The folks there are pleasant, have pride in what the serve and let you know they appreciate your business. Burgers are ligit, as good as I've had in the area.”

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.”

“Everyone there’s so friendly it’s always a great time”

“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.”

“Food was very good and with generous portions. Kitchen was as slow as molasses--took almost an hour for our food to come out. The place is not fancy but is clean and nicely decorated. Parking can be tight when it is busy.”

“1st time here .. Visiting from out of Town Highly Recommended Tried the Brie Appetizer and Wood Fired Pizza. Both Delicious! We tried the Jalapeno Pizza and Pepperoni Pizza (half & half) .. Wow! The Jalapeno Pizza was So Good! Not Spicy .. Just Right! Can't wait to come back and try a Steak!”

“Bellini’s is back! Or should I say I am back as a returning customer. Fist time there since Harvey. Had great service, crisp tasty Caesar salad. Wife and I had rare Veal Marsala . Thinly sliced , perfect texture and taste , accompanied with fresh fettuccine . Karen and I will be back,”

“Quick and efficient! Good and hot, can’t speak to others issues as we had none.”

“We got food to go 40 min before close. The meat was excellent. I ordered a loaded baked potatoe, everything was delicious except the potatoe. The potato had a texture like it was not completely finished was very hard and not soft like most baked potatoes are, but I said that maybe it’s because it was towards the end of the day and the server or a person at the window that took the order wasn’t sure they had any potatoes left and I think the reason this one was a little bit tough was because it was towards the end of the day. I had chopped beef on it and it was Delicious and my husband had two meat plate with”

“We ate there tonight and girls loved the crawfish our waitress Carmen was awesome. Very attentive and was really helpful on what to choose”
