"I am out of town with family for the weekend visiting Rockport. At first we were planning to go to another restaurant but noticed Paradise Key Dockside Bar & Grill was right across the way.Walking in the restaurant it was nice and bright since there are nice views of Aransas Bay. There is outdoor seating available.I decided to order the grilled platter which came with mahi mahi, grilled shrimps, crab cake and two sides, I chose the green beans and mac & cheese. The food is solid. I liked the mahi mahi because it is a "meaty" fish if you get what I mean. I did have an option to get blackened shrimp and that was a nice pick too. The crab cake was flavorful. The platter comes with one but it was enough. The mac & cheese did have some breadcrumbs to give it a nice crunchy texture. But one thing that made it a great experience was our server Salina.Salina was very friendly, respectful and welcoming. Very attentive and always checking on us. I was going to ideally give my experience 4.5/5 due to the random fly moving around but Salina's service made jt not too bad. She was soft spoken but provided great customer service throughout. I would like to be back with family. But it is not often we visit Rockport but the experience was pleasant. Besides the fly but it was a minimal inconvenience. You cannot miss the restaurant since it is a nice vibrating yellow color. But thank you again Salina for your work!"

"Inconsistent Experience--Great First Visit, but Disappointing ReturnWe visited twice in one week, and the experiences couldn't have been more different. Our first visit was easily 4/5 stars--the burger and fries were , perfectly cooked, and super satisfying.Unfortunately, our second visit was a major letdown. The multiple appetizers we ordered were soaked and soggy with grease, making them hard to enjoy. The fries, which were amazing the first time, were SUPER salty this time around--a complete 180 from what we had before. And the brisket egg rolls? Honestly, they shouldn't be a thing. The flavors just didn't work at all.It's a shame because we had high hopes after our first visit, but the inconsistency really stood out on the second trip."

"We had a lunch group of 12 people at this restaurant yesterday. It was my first time eating here. The service was great and superb. Our food came out fast. The decor was on point. They had great seating indoors and patio seating outdoors. This location is great for small get-togethers family or lunch date. They have a delicious menu to choose from and delicious drinks."

Executive Surf Club

"I've been going here since the glory days of the Hotrod Gang. I even used to work across Chaparral at Tom Foolery's. It's a shining example of what Corpus has to offer in terms of good times, good food, and awesome music. Really, this is an awesome venue. No place is perfect, especially when you've been going there for over a quarter century. Sure, I've had some concerns in the past. But, somehow the people at this place keep addressing them without making a big deal out of it. My wife and I usually go for daytime food and fun on the weekend, when there is consistently a solo performer from noon-4pm (Sat/Sun). Also, the open mic with Rick on Wednesdays is great. I know they have a trivia night (Drinks with Geeks) on Mondays. They also host a lot festivals, and they supplement the other festivals downtown. I've met some cool local musicians over the years and I highly recommend this family and dog friendly place. They do have indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of good food options (no u-peel-ems though), a full bar, and a wide selection of drafts (that changes with the seasons and availability). Here's some pics from spring break 2024. Pro tip: Get the surf burger (has beans, Fritos, and salsa). If you get the salad, have the house dressing (it's a Walnut dressing)"

Cheesy Jane's

★★★★☆ 4 (466) • $$

"50's style diner vibe focusing on burgers and milk shakes. I tried the slider sampler to try 3 different flavors and all were excellent. Tasted like a fresh homemade burger. My friend tried the special, chilaquiles burger and it was massive. A very creative burger for SA!The service was straight forward getting our order and food out to us quickly."

"Absolutely delightful! Traveling thru town and stopped for lunch. The staff we all very friendly and our waiter, Ethan, was super nice. We enjoyed sitting outside and had a yummalicious lunch!My husband had the meatloaf (and wiped his plate clean ) and I had the Fried Green Tomato BLT. Highly recommend and we will be back!"

Tin Top Burger Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (351) • $$

"I'm so glad we stopped. So many burger choices with high ratings but we chose this because of the casual ambience and not so "commercial" feel. I'm so glad we did. This was one of the best tasting burgers ever. Fresh, flavorful and not over done. I sat there and felt, this is what America is about. Friendly service, welcoming and great tasting food to fill our tummies."

Castaway's Seafood & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (488) • $$

"The first thing to know is that It's not easy to get in here in the evening on weekends. We waited almost 30 mins outside and then got a seat at the bar and ended up eating there because we were settled by the time out table was ready.The bartender was nice and busy but served us well once we got the attention. The food was nice and so was the beer. The bar area is nice to sit and the tables inside are nice too.The food took a while coming out and I hoped for a larger portion looking at the prices but it tasted nice."

San Antonio Burger

★★★★☆ 3.7 (317) • $

"Great family owned place! Reasonable prices. Super friendly service. Fresh and delicious food. The fries are the best!! I always get the Avocado Cheeseburger! Delish! Why would you go to a chain burger place when you can support San Antonio!"

Chunky's Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (332) • $

"Burgers are huge! Juicy, cooked just right and everything in my burger was fresh and delicious! As soon as we walked in we were greeted at the door with a menu. Service was top notch. They have an outdoor area and indoor with music playing. A cool hangout place. Bike night last Thursday of the month for those motorcyclists. Plus Adam Richman from Man vs Food has visited and eaten here. Highly recommend it!!"

Freiheit Country Store

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (347) • $$

"Great local spot! Love the vintage look on the floors. Great food and great customer service. Food: I really enjoyed their wings. The tater tots were great too. I'll definitely come back and try their burgers and wings. Great local spot in new Braunfels. I love finding whole in the wall spots like this. The customer service was amazing"

Armadillos Texas Style Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.8 (277) • $$

"Even though I live near this place and have been driving by it for long time now, it was only recently that I finally stopped in when I was craving a burger. I must say it's a real good deal for the price, for the most part. However, the only complaint I have comes today. I ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich, great crunch and flavor. They pound the chicken breast pretty thin so it looks HUGE (see my pictures of it) . I would say maybe leave a little bit of the thickness to it. My other complaint is that I decided to add bacon and cheese to it. A couple of strips of bacon came to $2.25 and cheese was $1.45 The food comes out of the kitchen super fast and the waitresses are almost always super attentive!"

Bigz Burger Joint

★★★★☆ 3.6 (301) • $$

"I had a Chicken Cobb salad and Brownie To-Go. The salad was very satisfying with fresh veggies, a juicy and seasoned chicken breast, crispy bacon chunks, half a boiled egg, avocado, and a nice amount of blue cheese. I was not expecting the salad to be so good. The Brownie? Well, it was amazing!"

Seahorse Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (318) • $$

"We chose the Seahorse for our dinner our first night in Surfside. We were seated quickly and after a few minutes our adorable waitress, Hailey, took our order. She knew the menu very well and was so sweet and helpful. My husband ordered the coconut shrimp and I ordered grilled shrimp tacos with a side salad. The food arrived quickly and was delicious! The jalapeño ranch on the salad was awesome! I could have eaten it with a straw! My shrimp tacos were great, especially theMango salsa! My husband loved his coconut shrimp. So crunchy and the sweet and sour sauce was perfect. The shrimp was so fresh! Loved the classic music they were playing and, of course, the view of the ocean rounded out our perfect dinner!"

The Back Porch BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (212) • $$

"Some friends and I decided to try this place after reading the reviews and someone from the Jersey Barn said we needed to go here too. So glad we did!! The food is delicious! I had the smash burger, my friend had loaded fries with I believe it was brisket, other friend had the back porch sandwich and my husband had the smash burger as well. They were delicious!! We all ate everything off our plates. Then to top it off we shared a banana pudding. I would definitely come back here!"

Filé's Burgers

★★★★★ 4.8 (162) • $

"This is a great date night place if you wanted to get some good home cooked food without doing it yourself. The burger was amazing and the service was fast and friendly. Try them out and you will not be disappointed."

Big Horn BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (357) • $$

"Location is not bad for being in a gas station (or having a gas station). Inside is very country. Feels like you in the back woods of TexasSadly, that's where the pleasantries end. The service was seemingly annoyed when I asked a questions about portion options. Presentation on the plate was simple and clean. The food itself is simply NOT good. The brisket is closer to jerky that something that's supposed to be supple and elastic. The sides were super bland and unimpressive. The BBQ sauce and then bread were okay. It's hard to think it would be dramatically different on a second visit but I may come back to try some options other than the brisket."

Pat's Place

★★★★☆ 3.5 (268) • $$

"Havent been to pats since they changed owners so this is a brand new experience. I kinda compare them vs now. Went in on a Thursday about 6:30. 10 minute wait which went by fast. We sat in the new room at a larger table due to having a baby. I enjoyed not being squished in a corner. I ordered a beef and chicken enchilada plate and my husband ordered beef. Enchiladas were very good. I miss the old chicken enchiladas but had no complaints with these new ones . Didn't come with sour cream which they used to before but it was fine. Chips and salsa were amazing . I am loving this new salsa they have it had a nice kick without feeling like I'm going to burn my throat. The old salsa was a lotto, you never knew if it was gonna be spicy or plain. They do charge a credit card fee which is listed on the menu and i believe at the front. I think it was happy hour when i went but wasn't sure. Waitress didn't tell us if it was or not but Facebook did when i went home. Would have probably got some queso if it was. Will be back for a burger soon with fried pickles."

Mesquite St Pizza & Pasta Co

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (255) • $$

"Great place for pizza and drinks within walking distance of our hotel. My wife and I shared a wild concoction, a big red margarita, a margarita with a bottle of big red turned upside down in it. Sounded wierd to both of us but after the first sip we were hooked. We shared a giant 4 meatball appetizer which was very good. I did all I could to devour half of a joe's meat lover pizza, we ate all the meat off of the remainder of the pie slices. They're decorated up for halloween, this place made us feel like regulars. Nice people and great food and tasty wierd drinks. I had to buy one of their t shirts with legalize marinara across the front. We'll be back."

Kirby's Korner Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (181) • $

"Unfortunately, No Vegetarian burgers! Fries and Malts are great. They need a good veggie burger, not a plant based mush mash. A good plain veggie burger would be so great!"

"Gigante... Gigante y deliciosa.Cumple lo que promete, todo un festín.Pura carne bien sazonada... Venga con mucha hambre porque sino, no va a poder."

Frontier Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (247) • $$

"It is very quiet in the dinning area but the drive through is busy. The staff is an add very friendly.i had the bacon burger with onion rings. The burger tasted delicious and the onion rings as well. They didn't have all the breading which we loved. My husband had the mushroom burger and commented that he likes his favorite burger place but really liked that this mushroom burger didn't drip all over."

Loncheria El Popo

★★★★★ 4.9 (102) • $

"First time. Choice of five sandwiches, one of which is vegan (avocado, lettuce, tomato). I had the "roast beef", my friend had the "cheeseburger". Both were excellent. Buns are toasted. They are on the small size, though. So if hungry get two. At $3.99 each, definitely worth it! No fries but can get Lays potato chips and a bottled soda for extra."

Frozen Dreams

★★★★★ 4.7 (110) • $

"I found this hidden jewel while looking for a good burger place from where I work. This place popped up and needless to say the burgers are DELICIOUS!! The staff is friendly, Adrianna was who greeted us and helped us by letting us know what they have to offer. They have a cute covered patio with some fans. I will recommend this place to everyone at work!!"

Sammy's Burgers & Brew

★★★★☆ 4.2 (135) • $

"Found myself in Beeville for a DMV appointment. Originally wanting to try the local sandwich shop in town but it was closed. Sammy's was a quick stop on the way out and it didn't disappoint. I had a satisfying crispy chicken sandwich on a sourdough bun. The sweet tea washed it down. Definitely better than any fast food places and easy on/off the highway."
