    the fried fish and shrimp, honestly enough for 2 ppl.
    Tony S.

    another must try when in town. had the boil and some gumbo on my last visit but wanted to try their fried platter last night, so good. son had the shrimp alfredo and i've never looked forward to left so much in my life!!! the wait to be seated can be long during the weekends and parking can be tight, but well worth the meal imo.... i will be back!

    Chicken fried steak
    Joe W.

    Wednesday special Chicken Fried Steak is amazing! My husband had that and I had the seafood gumbo it too was over the top delicious! Pier 77! Those folks know what they're doing!!!!

    Fish and Shrimp

    The food was amazing and the fish and Shrimp was amazing. They have a great variety to choose from. The staff is so nice.

    Fried Calamari with marinara sauce
    Dee W.

    Loved this place! The staff was welcoming and seated us immediately. We ordered the fried calamari and shared a shrimp seafood boil with the sausage, potatoes and corn add on. Not only was everything delicious, there was so much food leftover we're getting a second whole meal at home from the leftovers! Seriously one of the best seafood boils ever and I love how the calamari is cut into 'fingers' instead of rings. Yes it's cash only but they have an atm inside there. So much food shared between us and only cost $55...quite inexpensive these days! Will definitely be back!

    Fried fish platter with fries

    On our visit to Rockport/Fulton we kept having people say to try Pier 77. Wow, so glad we did! Very casual, friendly atmosphere. The menu is pretty simple and they deliver! We liked it so much we went back again. The fried fish, shrimp and oysters are lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. The sides are plentiful and fresh. No complaints on portions - my husband and I split a fried fish platter for lunch and were full. Fresh iced tea was delicious. The only warning is that they serve Cajun boils so if you're sensitive, ask to sit away from the kitchen. We will definitely go back on our next visit! No alcohol, but they openly offer the liquor store next door... closed M & W, so plan accordingly.

    The bathroom is awesome smells like skittles and is so clean!!!!!! The fish and the tartar sauce are so good together and they give you so much. It's so worth the drive. The waitress was super sweet.

    Wow! look at those onion rings
    Sara M.

    During a day trip to Rockport, we made a food stop at Pier 77. It was one of the recommended restaurants and I am glad that was our food choice. Décor and ambiance are very basic with fishing motives. Wooden bar area and simple linoleum chairs and aluminum tables. Nothing fancy and pretty good prices. The food was actually pretty good. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken and this salad was immense. It came with two full chicken breasts, which were well cooked and savored. I was impressed with the size. My friend ordered onion rings, which were delicious, some corn on the cob and a smaller side salad. I really enjoyed this restaurant. They had huge portions, good prices and excellent service. I am planning to visit again when I go to Rockport.

    Grilled shrimp salad with balsamic vinegar dressing

    This place is a hidden gym in Rockport... I would drive from New Braunfels Texas to have dinner with my wife here. Anytime... Our server was Gina and she was unbelievable... She had a great personality and took good care of us. Now with the food, I had the shrimp salad, and it came out on a plate half the size of the table... 13 grilled shrimp on top of the biggest bed of salad you've ever seen... I saw other people's plates like the chicken Alfredo and the seafood gumbo and the portions were huge. If you have questions about going to this place because it doesn't look too fancy from the outside, you would be amazed and very pleased if you stop in.

    Our catch / fried red snapper, no flavor
    Troy B.

    Fresh, high-quality seafood and genuine scratch-made dishes are surprisingly hard to find in this area. You'd expect a Gulf Coast restaurant to take advantage of its location with fresher offerings and a stronger menu. Pier 77 has been the best option we've found, but the food quality falls short, and the extremely slow service makes the experience even less appealing though staff was friendly. Overall, it's disappointing that this stretch of the Gulf doesn't measure up to many others along the coast. This would be one star in Louisiana.

    I love Tapas, and especially when a large table gets into sharing mode and orders together…read more However, I'm sure we sacrificed a table with a view since large tables don't usually occupy prime real estate. We were lucky to get the last serving of their evening special, Paella, which was among the best versions of this dish I have eaten, even including the first time I tried it in Barcelona back in 1959 as a college student. The portion was generous enough to satiate the five of us that shared it. With that, we added Corn Ribs, the Tuna Tostada, Patatas Bravas, and Crab Crostini. That was the perfect quantity for five. This is a five star restaurant in every regard, except perhaps for ambiance. The food was uniformly excellent and some of it was exceptional. The Tuna Tostada left me longing for more, and there was a generous amount of crab on the Crostini. The Corn Ribs brought corn-on-the-cobb to a new level. The one disappointment was that the salmon in the salad came out medium rare, which in my opinion is the way is should be served, but the menu probably should have warned that it would be prepared that way. This was cheerfully and quickly fixed, so no harm and no foul. We will surely return.

    TLDR: Waterfront seafood restaurant (often busy, with a long wait for dinner) with delicious food…read more(still thinking about the pecan snapper and key lime pie). Good kids menu with the option to add protein (chicken or carnitas). This place exceeded my expectations. I did set them fairly low considering this is a touristy waterfront type of restaurant. FOOD: Delicious food here! Large menu too. Good clam chowder -- I only got a small cup but it was generously clammy. My grilled shrimp was good but usually most places can get that right. The asparagus side was cooked just right -- still had that crisp to it. However, the show stealer was hubby's pecan snapper. It was a big portion. The fish was also thick with a nice thin breading. Really dang good. I don't often grab dessert but I'm a fan of key lime pie -- their version did not disappoint. Delicious. KIDS FOOD: One of the best kids menus I've seen in a while. They've got a few deep fried options (chicken, fish, shrimp, corn dogs) as well as not fried (grilled cheese or mac and cheese). The part that really stood out was the option to add chicken, carnitas, or bacon to the mac and cheese. I got my son the mac and cheese with chicken on the side and they brought a large plate of chicken! It was delicious diced chicken too -- my son loved it! It was great to have a kid-friendly protein option since it's always fried junk or carbs galore. I should also add that the mac and cheese was real macaroni with melted cheese on top (not that fake goopy boxed type mac and cheese). They offer crayons and coloring paper to keep kids occupied while they wait. WAIT: I see a lot of negative reviews for the long wait. I mean -- it's a popular place, should you really hold that against them? I would probably avoid this spot for dinner on a weekend for this reason. We came for lunch on a Saturday (midday). There was no wait and we got a window table (we requested one). VIBE: Exactly what I wanted. Nice view of the water -- saw lots of fishing boats go by, a cool bird, and even a dolphin! The place is large and full of people but it's also pretty spacious with enough room between tables. SERVICE: Friendly and pretty attentive. BATHROOM: Cool chalkboard walls where you can leave your thoughts. There were some charmingly positive sentiments written in my stall. PARKING: Limited spots right outside of the restaurant but there is a large lot where people park their boats next door. No issue finding a spot there (early Saturday afternoon).

    I'm actually not sorry to leave a negative review, but this was one of the most disappointing…read moredining experiences we've had. Don't go unless you're prepared to wait FOREVER. We arrived around 8:00 p.m. and waited about 45 minutes to an hour just to be seated. Once we were finally seated, we ordered a dozen oysters, three waters, two cocktails, and mac and cheese for our daughter. The drinks finally came, but they were incredibly weak. The biggest disappointment was the mac and cheese--it tasted like plain boxed Kraft macaroni, which was shocking for a restaurant. We placed our dinner order and then waited another hour and 45 minutes without receiving any food. By this point, it was 10:30 p.m., and our daughter had already finished eating and was exhausted. Our waiter, Kalen, was actually very polite, energetic, and apologetic throughout the night. He kept checking in and apologizing for the kitchen delays, so I don't blame him, he could have had an upper hand- and gotten aggressive and made an impact on timing. Unfortunately, after waiting nearly 2 1/2 hours from the time we arrived, we still never received our meals. My husband had to go to the front twice to cancel our order because we finally gave up and left hungry. The waiter again was nice but he could have done more and the manager competed our water and our daughters Mac and cheese. When we walked out - she had the audacity to give us a sad face - maybe you should have thought about your feelings while trying to get our food. It was truly a disgusting and horrible experience. We understand restaurants get busy, but waiting that long without food or any meaningful communication is unacceptable. We won't be returning. Other tables were being sat after us and actually left while we were still waiting that had received their food and paid. Extremely disappointed and will NEVER GO BACK.
