We have been here several times in the past couple of months that we have been in Rockport and every single time it delivers! The ambiance is so great and the service it awesome. The food though!!! OMG!!! The food is ALWAYS on point! I've tried different things and everything is delicious! The prices are extremely reasonable for this area too! We started with chips and dip tonight and it's some kind of homemade jalapeño pesto and homemade tortilla chips. It was so yummy! I've had the tuna tower, the crab tower and the calamari appetizers and all were wonderful! Food wise my go to is the fish and chips with Mahi and the mango Cole slaw!! I could eat that Cole slaw every single day! My mom is super picky and I brought her when she came to town and she had fried shrimp and says she wants to come here every time she visits. We have tried the burgers and they are great too! Everything is just fabulous! Oh and the drinks are top notch! Just come try it! You won't be disappointed! Oh and it's super pet friendly!Let me add something....just come and enjoy the atmosphere and the experience. If you're in a hurry go through Whataburger. Just be patient and enjoy the ambiance. You're kind of on island time here.

We've fished out of the marina here but this was the first time that we decided to have some our redfish cooked up at the restaurant. They have a good bar and the prices are right. We had a table of 5 and they cooked up our fish three different ways and everyone was able to order whatever they wanted as sides, so we ended up with a table full of food for $15/person. Anywhere else has a price per pound and has predetermined sides. Not sure you could have anything complain about. Caitlyn was also an excellent server with a great attitude.

Decent restaurant for a quick bite by the bay. Food was ok, lacked flavourful seasoning. We ordered dockside chicken and it barely had that big sized fillet seasoned with salt and pepper. The other dish was fish n chips and it was just ok. Same breading for the fillet. For a seafood popular place, the fish n chips were just average in taste. However the food was fresh and hot. Their customer service was also decent.Their ambiance was also ok ok, they have both patio and indoor sitting.

This place is so cute and laid back - right on the waters on the inland side of the bay. We called ahead and got on the list - it took us 45mins to get there from our Air B&B - we were sat within 10 minutes after arriving. We opted to sit on the patio over looking the water and the beautiful sun set. We had the crab tower to start it was fresh and plentiful with lots of crispy chips. The fish and chips called to my table - it was crispy and the fish was fresh! We were so happy and everything was so good I forgot to take many pictures.

Holiday weekends at the coast can bring in lots of tourists and visitors so plan on a good wait for a table and the food. Everything we ordered today was delicious. - ahi tuna salad, blackened mahi mahi, oyster po boy, shrimp embrochette & sweet potato waffle fries. Starter was fried pork skins and man oh man, these are piping hot, seasoned and melt in your mouth keto puffs. If you want water views, this is a good spot! Family friendly and plenty of parking!Can bring your own fish as well and the kitchen will prepare for you

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!

Pretty cool location on the edge of town right on the water. The food was pretty good with an ample selection. They have a good cocktail section. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have draft beer late on a Saturday night. Definitely a family friendly place. Bethany was an outstanding server!

After a few hours at the beach I was starving and yelped places in town. I saw this place had good reviews so hit it up. Upon arriving I was seated right away askin for outdoors although hindsight maybe ahouldve chosen inside since AC was nice after bein outside. I went with fish tacos since Rockport and thought they were great. I loved the sauce quite flavorful. Waitress was quick and helpful. Enjoyed viewing the boaters.
