    New Orleans style beignets with powdered sugar and jam

    Since 2004, this is the best place to dine in Rockport-period. The food, service and ambiance are unmatched. Consistency is important for building a restaurant's reputation and ensuring customer loyalty; and Cheryl's is inevitably consistent. Cheryl's is my go-to when I'm not in the mood to cook and my go-to recommendation to friends, family and visitors.

    My husband and I are vegan they were super accommodating and mindful even changed out the butter on the artichoke app and left off the cheese on our salads. Totally blown away by flavor and presentation. Thanks

    So good, we went back for brunch the next morning. Dinner and service were exceptional! I will always go here when I'm back in Rockport. The apps, drinks, dinner and dessert were so unbelievably delicious! You won't be disappointed.

    Visiting from Galveston. Saw reviews on Yelp and wanted to try them out. Came in for brunch August 16, 2020 at 11am with 2 locals (who had never been here before either) Today, Cheryl has friend volunteers helping her because she has no staff. She had a lawyer and an accountant serving us!!! (They did great) We all had eggs benedict...2 classics and 1 fried oyster...we cleaned our plates. We all had mimosas and bloody Mary's...tasty SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS COVID practices in place with staff (except the owner, Cheryl didn't wear a mask...oops!) They even had one homemade sanitizer bottle on the table that you could keep.

    We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was delicious! The service was delicious! We had the salmon omelet and the burger!

    DELICIOUS chocolate creme brulee for dessert.

    We just celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary at Cheryl's By the Bay. I was overwhelmed with the love and joy we felt when we entered the restaurant. Cheryl personally made sure the flowers my husband had ordered were on the table waiting for us along with champagne. Cheryl, Kendra and Ernie made our night magical. We live in San Antonio but we visit Rockport several times a year and we ALWAYS dine at Cheryl's when we are there. Food is TERRIFIC. Love this restaurant and Cheryl and her staff.

    We like the food, and drinks with Brazilian flare. Sometimes we like the atmosphere just depends on who is working or day of the week.

We stopped midday on a recent road trip to this small town burger spot with 50s diner charm and friendly people. Just off the freeway a bit, this is a great place for a tasty meal, ice cream dessert or snack pleaser We enjoyed some fried pickles while we waited for our tortilla burgers ( we added avocado). The pickle chips and ranch dressing was good but a little too salty for my liking. The tortilla burger was a veggie loaded cheesy smashed beef burger in two fried tortillas. Greasy but good. Fall all apart but finger-lickability. With a side of hot fries, this filled us up quickly. But not too full to not partake in an ice cream shake for the road. Needless to say, we couldn't move for a good two hours but we felt great having a bucket list item checked and a satiated palate.

The atmosphere was nice, quiet, and very clean. The lunch menu was somewhat limited but still offered a good variety of options. We started with the shrimp cocktail. Six shrimp served on a bed of ice with a tangy cocktail sauce. It was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the poke bowl, which was absolutely delicious. My husband's lobster roll was warm, buttery, and generously portioned. Overall the food was tasty and the service was great. We'll definitely be back!

He was also very gracious in helping us when our food was a disappointment. I started with a cup of the lobster bisque and I am so glad that I did because it was DELICIOUS! I don't want to know how much butter went into the process, the perfect amount for maximum flavor for sure, so let's just go with that. Then we ordered the pear salad and shrimp and scallops. This is where it took a turn. The portion on the salad was not shareable, not even a full dinner portion for one. The presentation of the shrimp and scallops was lovely, but the shrimp and scallops themselves had ZERO seasoning or flavor. Not cooked with butter, not even salt or pepper. The only flavor came from the ginger carrot coulis which was nice but very gingery. The risotto was cold. Very cold. The only redeemer on the plate was the sautéed kale which had a lovely flavor and was nice and warm. I ultimately sent the main back and got a bowl of the bisque, which again-was a delight. Big hunks of lobster meat and creamy. Would go back for drinks and the bisque, but would not waste time on entrees.
