This was my first time at Gummies. I absolutely loved it. First thing was the butch paper menu that was hand written, thats always a good sign. Now on to the food. I had brisket, ribs, sausage, Mac n cheese, elote, pork belly burnt ends, turkey and chicken thigh. The food was very good and just good ole school bbq. The brisket was tender, juicy and would slice through tender with a fork. The bark was very good salty and peppery at the same time like brisket supposed to be. The turkey I freaking loved. No crazy rubs just good ole smoke all through that turkey. You really got the turkey and smoke flavor that complimented each other very well. The pork belly burnt Ed's were really good. Great bark, peppery also sweet in the sauce but wasn't overpowering. I really loved them. Ribs were tender, with a great rub that was well balanced. Did I mention by now not once did I ever pick up BBQ sauce and didn't need to. The sausage was V&V, you can't go wrong with that, it's always tasty. The chicken thigh was good and moist. Would have like more season down to the brown on it but good perfectly. The Mac and cheese were good and creamy. Could've use some SPG on the Mac but once I ate some with brisket that did the trick. The elote was very good and well dressed. Overall I'll be back and I enjoyed the food. The owner was a super nice guy and this food for how much you got was not expensive at all. I been to a Michelin Guide bbq spot in Houston (Killen's), Gummies bbq blew that out the water. It wasn't even close. I even went to Salt Lick in driftwood and this was better than that, just my opinion. This spot is the epitome of you dont need a bunch of Michelin guides and all that. Just a good ole boy, his smoker and meats. Loved this place! read more

** Normally I would've had pictures of everything but we ate a majority of what we ordered later on for dinner** If you have to eat gluten free like me make sure to ask for NO bread. They do not tell nor is it on the menu to show that each order comes with white bread, raw onions, and pickles on top. I would eat here again when we are stopping through Rockport. I had the Elote bowl and ribs with coleslaw. All of which was delicious. Ribs are best eaten immediately because when warm, they really do come off the bone. The elote bowl was better cold and eaten second day dare I say. My husband did find some of his food (Turkey and Mac & Cheese) to be a little bland. Sausage was decent to both of us! It's in a great location, especially when leaving Rockport for the afternoon. I see a lot of comments about the gentlemen (with the beard) behind the counter. No, he's not overtly friendly (which doesn't bother me) but he gets the orders right, gives HUGE portion sizes, and was friendly enough for us to enjoy the experience. They also have great decor and a huge outside seating area. We sat inside which can be tight for some as they did the best they could with a few tables given the space. read more

I was there this past weekend. We got there about 20 min early before opening. We parked in the parking lot and waited. The owner came out to our car and welcomed us in early. He was super cool! I got the 2 meat plate with brisket and pork belly. Everything was delicious even the potato salad and beans slapped. And the elote corn was fire! I will definitely be back again and definitely telling everyone I know about this place. read more

Small space but food is great. There are more tables outside; a lot of people come and get it to go. Their ribs are tender and fall off the bone. The Mac & Cheese is the closest to what my Mom used to make. Talked with the owner, a really nice guy. read more

Gummies BBQ - Brisket & ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Rockport, Texas

First time visiting this place and had some high hopes based on the previous reviews. I will go into details, but it was not bad and I will try them again. The location is pretty easy to find and they have ample parking if you get there early. I have to assume the summertime will be packed. The ordering is simple and fast. They do accept credit cards and have contactless payment methods. Inside is kinda cramped, but they make good use of the space they have. If your coming with a large group, you might plan to sit outside on the patios. On to the food.. First off, the brisket had a great smoke flavor but was on the dry side. It's tough to eat a dry brisket for me. However they do give you plenty. The sausage also had a good flavor, just again on the dry side. Now the beans and potato salad were a totally different thing. They were great with lots of flavor and big portions. Their BBQ sauce is interesting and I have not quite figured it out. The only other time I tasted something similar was at Franklins in Austin (and that's a big compliment). I will definitely give them another try and update the review accordingly. read more

Stopped in at Gummie's for lunch 9/26/25. Shared a large brisket sandwich, sides of potato salad and elote, and a peach cobbler dessert with my wife. Brisket was so flavorful, tender, and plentiful. Sandwich included a dry slaw. Not really needed, but appreciated that it was dry and did not include mayonnaise. Potato salad and elote were both outstanding, and the peach bourbon cobbler was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Nice guy running the place by himself. Will definitely be back when in the area! read more

Zero stars. No. No good. 16 bucks. Some strange old man and his dog sat with me at my table when I sat down to eat. A stranger!! Yuk! Horrible experience! Bad food. Mac and cheese very greasy. The whole vibe there ugh, just bad experience. It may be good for others. Enjoy. My experience was too intrusive by that old man who took the liberty to sit at my table UNINVITED. A COMPLETE STRANGER. read more

First time at Gummies BBQ. The staff was friendly and upbeat & the food was perfect. Top billing goes to the side - Elote. This corn dish was the best. I enjoyed the ribs and brisket lunch plate. read more

Four of use just ate, had a bit of everything. Excellent portion sizes and great bark. Don't skip the sides, tasty stuff. Left full.

We finally got to stop at Gummies. Let me tell you, we have been disappointed by many Bbq spots, but this place killed it!! I had a loaded tater. Now I was expecting tots but this was a small football sized baked potato loaded with butter, pinto beans, cheese, pulled pork and what ever else. This thing was soooo big I had breakfast and lunch ready the next day. My wife had the brisket sandwich with mac n cheese. Unreastically HUGE sandwich topped with pickles, onions, and slaw. She was able to eat half. If you are in the area, stop in you won't be disappointed. Price is right, and portions are giant. We will definitely be back. We'll done. read more

Very friendly service and great barbecue. The loaded taters can actually make two meals and the. sammiches are just perfect

Excellent meats with great smoked flavor but Mexican corn was tough and bland. BBQ sauce was weird. The ZZ Top guy behind the counter was boring and unfriendly. The cobbler was gross. Hmm. Not sure will be back. read more

Tender very tender great sides the ribs are absolutely fantastic. The brisket is some of the best I've ever had

Picked up a sh**ton of various meats for some Austin folks stopping by Our place in Rockport on the way home from Port A. Everyone fell in love at first bite! 10-20% cheaper than Austin que, it was purely on point. All of it. I especially like the spicy peach based barbecue sauce. I've been gnawing on it all day... as sandwiches, tacos, etc. World Class. In Rockport. Welcome!!! read more

When I ordered food, the man taking my order did not seem to want to be there and was giving me and my friends an attitude. After we ordered he went to the back and made our food, but the people behind us had to wait in line for an unreasonable amount of time. The barbecue was dry and not that good overall. There was also no barbecue sauce on the tables and we had to wait a while to ask for some. Overall the barbecue was not great and there was zero staff besides one guy. read more

Great food, great service and what a wonderful place to sit and eat in or outside!! Rockport's best BBQ!!

Brisket, excellent, pulled pork very good, Turkey excellent, sausage very good. Ribs excellent. The Elote side and the pinto beans also excellent. Highly recommend read more

At this point they can take my paycheck! The food is great and the owner is so nice! The lady who typically takes orders is also the absolute sweetest. My fiancé and I look forward to eating here occasionally! Gummies is definitely the best name in my opinion!!!! The building is always clean but I wish they had a bigger space :) read more

The brisket melts in your mouth! And the bark was spicy and flavorful. The Smoked Turkey was absolutely moist and delicious. The beans had multi colored peppers and huge chunks of ham hocks; my favorite side. But the Potato salad was a close second. The Nanner puddin was cold, sweet and yummy. read more

Three star, because the coleslaw and potato salad was good. Staff was nice and friendly. I like spicy food, but the ribs were so spicy it burned my tongue, and mouth. The turkey was ok. read more
