    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!!!!

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

    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!

    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!

    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 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.

    Wow! look at those onion rings

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wowza...what a find! CLEAN, nicely decorated, with great wall art, excellent menu, and our server,…read moreStephanie was super! A versatile menu, the majority of which is seafood, as we're in Rockport, but look out for the PERFECT Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, beautifully seasoned, and one of the most tender and flavorful Ribeye steaks, ever. It includes 3 very tasty, grilled shrimp, and two sides. I had the hottest baked potato ever, yum, and delicious green beans. Dylan enjoyed his steak enourmously, with creamed corn and a loaded baked potato. Although we arrived starving, we could both only eat half. No problem, lunch the next day and Bizou was thrilled. Thank you Stephanie! Also, for Rockport, they're open late (9 pm). But they still kindly greeted people at 8:45. Be kind folks, and show as they're shutting everything down!

    I visited Nemo's Seafood Grill while on a day trip in Rockport. The food pictures online looked…read moregood but I didn't expect to find such interesting and delicious seafood there! I had reasonable expectations and Nemo's still managed to exceed them. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant are unremarkable. But don't let the boring decor fool you, the food was solid. I had grilled scallops, cabbage and green beans. Sounds like a weird assortment, doesn't it? But it knocked my socks off! First of all, the sea scallops were absolutely amazing. Though simply cooked in butter and spices, they tasted fresh, on par with large scallops I had bought at Whole Foods in the past and cooked at home, perhaps even better. (Okay there were better, I admit it... But I pride myself in being a good cook nonetheless!) The side of cabbage was delish. I mean, guys, I don't even care for cabbage, I don't normally like it. But it struck me when I looked at the menu, seeing a Vietnamese section, that the owners aren't your typical Texan cooks. They're eclectic. When when I see originality, I have to try it. The green beans were also fresh, simple but well put together, without bacon, the way they should be, because that's how my grandma used to cook them (grandma is always right, sorry not sorry.) That's right, eating at Nemo's reminded be of home cooking at its best, made with heart and care. I didn't expect to find that in Rockport of all places, nothing less than a meal that took me to new places, and simultaneously down memory lane. My husband had the catfish and his portion was generous. He also had a side of their special pineapple coleslaw, which is in all ways superior to traditional coleslaw. Regular coleslaw sucks, big time. Nemo's is a long overdue improvement upon the original recipe. I stole some of his coleslaw. When you serve me coleslaw anywhere else, I set it aside, and unless someone else eats it, it ends up in the trash. Just saying. So, all in all, while the place looks absolutely boring and undedicated in many ways, the food made up for lack of ambiance. I'd go back.

    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.

    First time here but def not our last, in fact just made our second reservation!…read more We had heard wonderful things about this place and they were not wrong. We reserved early for NYE because we are old, lol, and so glad we landed on Gabriela's. We started out with the Pina Colada Azul's and they were amazing. For eats we had the corn ribs, the Ahi tuna tostada, and the Queso de Cabra. All were soooo good. I don't even do tuna and had two bites because they were so good. I'm a huge fan of the corn ribs and the goat cheese though. We finished with the calamari which was just as good as everything else had been. Light breading, not oily at all and plated with plenty of lemons and a very tasty sauce. I would recommend everything we had. We finished with the bread pudding and the chocolate torte! Again both were amazing, and I don't like even like bread pudding but this one was amazing. The pistachios put it over the top for me. So it was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to be back. Let me end with Leslie and Candace in the bar, they are so great that I wouldn't even consider sitting at a table if they are on the bar. Thanks ladies for a great NYE dinner!

    Disgusting Kitchen Standards & An Absolute Joke of a "Discount"…read moreLet me start by saying our waitress was awesome. She was attentive, polite, and this 1-star review has absolutely nothing to do with her. This is entirely on management and the kitchen staff. We came in as a party of four and ordered appetizers. As soon as they hit the table, we pulled out two long hairs--one in each appetizer--right in front of our waitress. She was visibly startled and asked what she could do. Trying to be understanding guests, we told her not to worry, and she apologized and said she'd speak to the Back of House. When the main courses arrived, the food was okay, though it seriously lacked flavor and desperately needed salt. But the real insult came when the bill arrived. Since we had actual hair served in our food, we politely asked our waitress if a discount could be applied. She apologized, mentioned she hadn't been sure how to handle it initially, and went to speak to the manager. After a long wait, she came back with a "discounted" bill. The original total was $179 and change. The manager's grand gesture of a discount brought it down to $173 and change. But here is the absolute kicker: because we paid with a card, they tacked on debit card fees that brought the final total right back up to $179. Where the hell is the actual discount? In this day and age, almost no one carries cash. Sneaking in extra card fees to completely wipe out a "complimentary" discount for serving us hair is cheap, manipulative, and terrible business. If you're going to charge card fees, embed them in the food prices like a reputable establishment. Between whoever is cooking in the back without a hairnet and a management team that thinks a net-zero "discount" fixes serving unsanitary food, we will absolutely never be back. Step up your hygiene and your management standards.

People were actually fishing right outside by the parking lot too which looked relaxing... Now for the food. We started off with appetizers and it was oysters and poke tuna tower. Not an oyster person myself. Brother in law and wife had them and they enjoyed them saying they were fresh. The poke tuna tower was good but it lacked salt and needed more sauce. It seemed like the sauce was only on the plate and not mixed with the ingredients. But the ingredients were fresh and the chips were served hot with some seasoning on them. For mains we had "Fish n Chips" and a bowl of clam chowder. Well it was more of a cup as they forgot we had ordered a bowl. Flavor was there but the temp was like warm and I'm a type that wants it a little more hot. The "Fish n Chips" for me wasn't the traditional plate when you read the name of the dish. Fish n Chips for me is flaky strips of fish or beer battered. This fish was more of a solid piece and breaded. But the seasoning was amazing!! The flavor was there so that made it up for me. But I'm a guru to fish n chips so I had a different vision of it. We did upgrade to the mahi mahi on it and that was really tendered. The fries were a little bland and the sweet potatoes fries were really chewing and dry. The menu had some great options that we want to try therefore we will be back to return again. Our server was on point! Great service and all with him dealing with 2 big group parties including ours. Think his name was Victor. Again, I highly recommend this and we cannot wait to go again!!
