Pop's Tavern and Cafe

Best food in Rockport! Must stop if you are in rockport. Best mushroom Swiss burger you will ever put in your mouth!Prompt service with a smile! Tracy and drew are an asset to the company. Very attentive staff and clean facilities. Definitely coming back

We came to Rockport on vacation and decided to try Pop's after a recommendation from our realtor. She and her husband raved about Pop's burgers and who doesn't love a good burger? I had the mushroom Swiss burger with fries and my husband had the pepper Jack jalapeño burger with added bacon. Both were cooked perfectly and were delicious!! The service was great, our waitress was a sweetheart and the atmosphere was nice. Lots of Astros decor and being Astros fans how could we not feel at home? Pop's will definitely be a stop each time we are in the area.

Pop's Tavern and Cafe is much too classy a name for this place. Took nearly 2 hours to get in and out of this non-busy "establishment".Couldn't get a second beer or a glass of water if we were standing there on fire. Owner's mother is an old ogress bar fly that chastises patrons for approaching the bar to request a drink after they've patiently waited nearly an hour. I suppose this is because serving others would mean a delay in filling her glass of wine. Watched a family seated at the table next to us get up and walk out as they waited for their drinks for nearly 30 mins. Perhaps the key to good service at this place is to be a local. They certainly aren't welcoming to out of towners. The place is trash. A-V-O-I-D this dump.

Food was amazing! This place is the perfect "hole in the wall" that you never know exists and then when you find out you wonder where they have been all your life! Great, speedy service and darn that food was STELLAR!!! Highly recommend. I loved the atmosphere of a small hometown bar and low lighting. Everything was wonderful!

If anyone really wants to know where the best burger in Rockport is, look no further than this little unexpected jewel! No frills, 2 pool tables in the middle and wine served in a plastic cup. A salty Lass named Karen will say don't call to ask if your dog can come.... the answer will be NO. The JC Burger with Pepperjack cheese & jalapeños was the ! A fantastic selection of .

Small town bar and grill, if you can't handle cigarette smoke you should probably order ahead and get To-go, b it worth it. Food was kick azz, southern staples done right. To make the place a 5 star you have to have good staff, and let me tell you, this Karen chick at the bar was also kick azz. My only regret is only tipping 30%, she deserved more. So if you do read this and stop in there, give her an extra couple dollars for me please. I would myself but i live many hours away. Maybe deduct a penny or 2 for being a cowboys fan. whatever this place is paying her should double it.

Wonderful Hamburgers and specials- just wait till they have oysters- yum yum, cooked to perfection. Here is yesterday lunch- Swiss Mushroom burger and a side of onion rings

1st time to Rockport and we are so glad we stopped by to catch a bite. Food was spot on from the marinaras sauce for the delicious calamari to the sugar on the funnel cake (sticks). Delicious delicious delicious!!! Also service was 10 out of 10. We will be back.

I was with my fiancé in Rockport, TX for the weekend of July 4th. We found a restaurant that had decent reviews, so we decided to give it a try. We walked inside to what appeared to be a bar, with some tables to eat at. I was good with this because I did need a cold beer. We sat down in anticipation of a waitress to serve us some cold water and cold beer. Like the ketchup commercial we waited, and waited, and waited some more. Finally, a waitress showed up to take our drink order. After ordering two beers we waited again for them to show up. Once the beers showed up, it was off to the races for the waitress, and we did not see her for some time. She finally arrived back to take our order. By the time our order had arrived, we had already watched one couple wait 15 minutes at a table and leave because of no service. Now I will say the food was good, not great, but good. We sat and ate with empty beers and no water. I had the jalapeno burger with fresh Jalapenos. I was at the end of my burger and was pretty parched. I took a bite, and the bread became stuck in my throat, and I could not drink anything to get it down. My fiancé got up and went to the bar for some water. She stood and waited, and finally attempted to get the attention of our waitress, with no luck. This lady sitting at the bar looked up at my fiancé and stated, "why don't you give them a break, they are busy you know". My sweetheart of a fiancé kindly told her that we have been patient, and that we have waited almost twenty minutes for our waitress to show up, and that I was almost choking over not having any liquids to wash my burger down. This lady rudely replied in a loud obnoxious manner, "He's choking". The lady did get up and get us a glass of water.We then continued to wait for the ticket. Another waitress, which was very nice explained to us that the waitress we had just started that night. Well to me that is not an excuse, it's a management issue. I also told her that I did not appreciate how the older lady who obviously had her hydration covered with her glasses of wine in front of her treated my fiancé. The waitress advised me that this was the owner's mother and continued to apologize for her actions. I paid the bill and we left. Now to be fair, the food was pretty good. The service was not. The mother of the owner should keep her mouth shut and only comment when she actually knows the totality of the circumstances. If the mother knew that we have been patiently waiting for this waitress instead of leaving this establishment for the many more that are in the area, she probably would have not said what she did. This was not a good experience at this restaurant, which was not crowded at all. If you don't mind waiting an hour or so for your food and drinks, then go for it! Just watch out for the landshark at the bar!!!

The mushroom Swiss burger was excellent, as was the service! The fries and shrimp basket were so-so. Stick to the burgers!
