SR Boil House

My wife found this place on tik tok and it did not disappoint!! The food was good but the service was awesome!! Great ambiance and great service!! Our bartender Cassie was awesome!! Truly on top of her craft and truly an asset to this establishment . Wish we lived closer but we will be coming back again!! The Ramen noodles in the shrimp boil stole the show!!!

Update. I called and spoke to a young lady who said she was the manager, Madi. I explained the situation and how the crawfish were inedible. She asked if I could provide photos of the crawfish in the trashcan. I explained we were in a hotel and as such they were thrown away in the hotel dumpster as to not smell up the room, but I could provide the before pics. She said she had speak to the kitchen staff and call me back. When she called back she basically accused me of lying - that bc I couldn't provide proof the food was actually in the trashcan they would not refund. Talk about rubbing salt in the wound!! Why would she, as the supposed manager, need to speak to the kitchen help?! The absolute WORST experience we've had thus far in Rockport!! Tonight we ordered at Paradise Key and 10/10!!! I would wholeheartedly advise to not waste your money on a restaurant that not only has inedible food, but zero regard for their customers.

We came out for first time at new location it was terrible my wife ordered the cabob we had to send it back but my sister went ahead and kept it my wife never got her meal just spoke to a co owner hope this gets fixed.

Went on a Monday night and the wait was quoted 1/2 hour. There was a large TV outside to keep people waiting occupied. The food takes a while so tables were not turning very quick. The bartender was very busy and working hard. Waitstaff was busy as well. Seemed like a popular local place. Management socialized and seemed unhelpful. Water glasses had some kind of crud in the bottom. Food and flavors were good. Gumbo was really good with decent spice and flavor. The snow crab was the most popular boil item followed by the shrimp. The food is a five.

Literally my favorite restaurant in the whole world. Get the crawfish during crawfish season. The boiled shrimp any day of the week. They really know how to cook seafood to absolute perfection. Been coming here since 2020 and love, love, love everything about SE Boil House!! And did I mention that they give back to the community??! I mean, how lucky is Rockport

This restaurant has been located in downtown Rockport for years. Its reputation is great. They have relocated to Business 35 in the Cove Harbor Marina.I never ate at the SR Boil House when it was downtown. I did eat lunch there today 06/15/2024. The service was top notch. The ambiance of the restaurant is derived from the marina views. The decor is functional, not plush, well used and not clean. I arrived at opening and there was stuff on the floor. Which indicates no sweeping.Even with this, I was so looking forward to the meal. I ordered Shrimp Ceviche and chips. The taste was OK. I did not send it back. That said, there was nothing to rave about. It tasted similar to what one would expect from a grocery store. I ordered the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp was prepared as expected. The fries were very good. The resturant is VERY EXPENSIVE. I am beside myself as to why people rave about this place. It was fine, definitely not great.

We were really hoping for a great boil house in Rockport, but they missed the mark... Horrible hostess. We arrived at 5:15 hoping to get a jump on the dinner crowd. There was no line and the restaurant was half empty but we were quoted a 45 min - 1 hour wait. We took a seat at the bar next door to wait (spent $35 on 2 drinks ) and at 45 mins the hostess called to let us know it would be another 2 hours! Umm no, completely unacceptable. We left and headed to Pier 77 where they don't expect customers to wait for nothing.

Over-Priced-$35.00 plus $6.00 for mushrooms and broccoli. No broccoli, just mushrooms arrived.Not sure if the shrimp is gulf shrimp.The shrimp is the easy-peel version which means it's probably a farm-raised, overseas version. Please people, we are on the gulf coast. Why would we ever want shrimp that has been farm raised (Google farm raised shrimp...it'll turn your stomach) and from either Ecuador, Indonesia or Vietnam. Eat local. Please! I'm NOT a hater of other countries...so that is not the issue. We have beautiful shrimp in our own "backyard". Please let's push local restaurants and grocery stores to sell it. The spice in the boil is overly chili powdered but no other spices are evident.The sausage is low quality.One new potato cut in half in entire boil......remember I'm being charged $35.00.My husband ordered spaghetti and meatballs....it was really bad. However, that's on him for ordering Italian in a seafood restaurant. Still, how can you not make a decent spaghetti and meatball dish???? His dish came to him 10 minutes before mine. It was just the two of us. The kitchen and waitress could figure out how to course out two orders at the same time. We asked for crushed red pepper for the spaghetti. We were told they didn't have it. Not sure what they use for the boils.Then we were told by waitress, "I just work here". We ate half or less of our meal and left.We didn't say a word about the lackluster meal and service. We just won't be back.Restaurateurs....be aware, it's not the customer that complains that should be your worry. It's the one that doesn't even think it's worth it to complain and never returns. You never get a chance to make it better.Still, I hope this place gets a "Restaurant Rescue" and turns around. There is no way anyone would pay those prices with the lackluster quality and service. Rockport needs good places to eat....please!

So good! My boyfriend is a big seafood eater & he said this was his favorite ever!!! Super friendly staff also

Awesome experience. Service was a bit slow but they were busy on a Saturday night. Everything came out at the right temperature & was excellent. Seasoning spot on. Anton took good care of us. Love the new location! Highly recommend. Planning to visit again tomorrow before we leave the area.
