    Steak Fingers and skinny fries
    Robin H.

    Edit: I came back for another visit wanting to try their pho, but i started with the calamari, OUTSTANDING!! Maybe the best I've ever had! Huge portion and only $10!!! The atmosphere and service were great and the food was delicious! Will definitely be back here!

    Fried fish tacos

    Our #1 food spot in Rockport! Honestly, the beach here isn't super impressive in our opinion but I will happily drive down from San Antonio just to eat here. The food is always incredible. They have the absolute best fish tacos I've ever had. And I eat, and make a lot of fish tacos. On our last visit we stayed for three days and ate here twice. A month later we are planning yet another trip and the food here is the biggest allure. Their prices are unbeatable for the portions and quality. Their burgers are always very tempting, maybe on my next visit I will branch out... but those fish tacos have me hooked! My hubby usually gets their fried fish platter and it's all excellent. We have traveled all over the US and this place serves some of the best seafood we have ever had.

    Had the fish tacos with a salad.  It was WONDERFUL!!

    It was busy when we arrived around 130pm on a Saturday but we were sat within 10 minutes. We were a party of 5 and all ordered something different and nothing disappointed!! Food was wonderful! Our server was nice didnt really check on us too often for refills or anything but the food and ambiance made up for it. Next time we are back in town we will definated go back!!

    Pho Ga and beef with fried rice. 10/10!

    The best pho ever!!! Service is amazing as well as the ambiance. Lots of TVs and seating. Highly recommend.

    Just to be clear Benchwarmers & Hudat are a combined restaurant that you can mix and match menu items at this location. This location is conveniently within walking distance of several hotels and was recommended by our hotel concierge. However, my experience at Benchwarmers was disappointing. I ordered the Fulton Burger from their menu, which had fried oysters placed between two burger buns. Unfortunately, the oysters were small and some of them had a strong fishy taste. I found it surprising that a place as busy as Benchwarmers could serve seafood with such an unpleasant flavor. The restaurant has a system with drink runners and food runners, but despite that, my fries were only lukewarm and almost cold. We had to make eye contact with the drink runner to get refills, and our main waitress only returned to give us the bill without even introducing herself. The atmosphere of the place felt similar to a busy Joe's Crab Shack, and it wasn't conducive to hanging out with friends since it was difficult to hear people on the other side of the table. With numerous employees walking around, it lacked a sense of personal attention. Additionally, the drinks were served in Styrofoam cups. In conclusion, I do not recommend this place. During my trip, I visited better spots for dining. However, a friend insisted on trying Benchwarmers and kindly paid for our meal as a wedding gift.

    Probably the best food in town, plus Hu Dats has the best Vietnamese food also. This place is always packed.

    Steerburger Grill & Grub - Best place in Rockport for burgers. We come here every time we are in the area!!

    Wish I can give it 6 stars. SteerBurger Grill & Grub is such a hidden gem!…read more It's a food truck with an indoor dining area with AC, which honestly confused me a little at first, but ended up being a great setup. The folks working there were super friendly, and I really appreciated the hospitality. The dining area was also very clean. Now for the burger and fries: OMG, what a surprise! The burger was seriously so good. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. I visited close to closing time, so I was the only one there, but the place seems like it could be a really fun spot to hang out, especially with the outdoor patio seating. One small idea, if they haven't already considered it: it looks like there might be enough space for another food truck or two. An ice cream truck would be especially fun for families and could make the space even more interesting. (or beer garden for adults... hey you never know haha) Overall, great food, friendly people, and a really cool setup. Definitely a place worth checking out.

    Arrived at Steer-Burger on Wednesday,August 13, 2025 at Lunchtime! Ordered a 1/4# Steer burger,…read more$9.95 plus a Soft Drink and order of fries ($5.50). Total cost $16.73 with tax included. We have eaten here before and the Customer Service was as great as it was this day. The quality of Burger and fries not so much! My Burger was medium which was OK but it came in one big piece and one small piece. The French fries were of low quality and not one of the pieces was over 1.5 inches long! As usual we had to go to the bathroom to get paper towels as every time we have been there they appeared to be out. Very Disappointed! We don't mind paying the current market price for a very good burger but today, We would have gotten better burgers and great Fries at Whataburger! The current Steer Burger was a step above Burger King and Sonic. My qualifications as an Expert and Experienced Food and Service Critic; I have over 65 years of Management Experience.

Such a popular place too, it was busy when I dined there with family, yet service level was attentive & efficient! We shared the Bean & Cheese Nachos, perfectly prepared and paired well with my Happy Hour bottled beers! Estradas also offers a good selection of bottled beer, even imported beer. Noticed a new bar top was in the works, I wonder if draft beer is coming soon? Food over all was great! I ordered the Grilled Shrimp, which were very flavorful & portion was plentiful. Family members were pleased & satisfied with flavors & food quality. I will definitely be back, such a fun place with great food!

    I had this place on my list of wanting to try and when friends drove in from out of town we figured…read morelet's treat them to this place. So glad we did. We were immediately greeted and told to sit anywhere, open seating and quick service. Immediate placement of chips and salsa, red and green, the green was super spicy and nice. I splurged and ordered a frozen Mango margarita with salt. Really good. I ordered the 5 mini Al pastor street tacos with charro beans. Interesting choice to add weenies and small bits of ham to the charro beans, but overall pretty good plate. Our friends had the quesabirria and that looked real good (they said it was). The whole place is very laid back and simple, nothing fancy at all with a Television on the wall showing sports (in Spanish). Total cost of our bill was $120 without tip and we had 4 Margaritas, so price is on point. I recommend giving this place a try, they even have hamburgers which I will return to try.
