The 3 stars?, for the very awkward service. We were a party of six. Waitress didn't seem too thrilled to have our table, which leads me to believe she assumed the worst of us. She automatically added her tip. Menu clearly states that happens for party of seven or more . Also they charge a credit card fee. I paid with a bank card. I didn't see anything about extra fees anywhere. We didn't experience this anywhere else in the area. Waitress would very unwelcoming ask if we were ready. "So yall ready". We visit Rockport 2 -3 times a year. I tip for a cup of coffee. But I guess we live in days where profiling has become the norm. It seems like a fun atmosphere, but the good vibes were just not there. The one drink I did order tasted like cough medicine. The potential for it being a great fun drink was there, but I was afraid to order a second. We wanted to hang out but we were very aware we were being rushed out the door.

OK, it's official, Fultons Irish Pub is my favorite, and most consistent, restaurant in the…read moreFulton/Rockport area. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, other diners are friendly and you don't feel rushed, although they get packed, for good reason. The servers and bartenders work hard to make your dining experience special, and do a great job at remembering their customers and their needs. It's a large, varied menu with lots of delicious and some unique items. Kudos to Chef Ben for his consistency, attention to special requests and for being a nice guy. The lovely Victoria does an incredible job managing this busy spot and hiring great staff. And, live music on weekends. This time I had the garlic shrimp, which was exceptional with a huge side of crispy, light , non greasy pub chips...yum. They are usually dusted with cheese, but mine were not due to an allergy. Dylan had the Prime Rib Sandwich,with fries, that he inhaled. A lovely couple next to us, who are regulars, Cathy and her husband (apologies), were so friendly and enjoyed their Million Dollar BLT and fries Kailey was our super attentive and pleasant server, and got to see the two best bartenders in the area, Felicia and Britt. Honestly, if you haven't been, your missing out! And there is also an outside sitting area, and across the street is the Fulton Pier, where you can see dolphins at night!

We recently went to the Bay Area Brewing Company to see Boo and Poo perform their fun, zydeco show…read more What a GREAT experience. Bay Area Brewing Company is a small, cozy property with their delicious brewed beer. We enjoyed their Peach Better Have My Mango. Aside from being unique, refreshing and delicious, what a great, fun name! And that's the whole vibe with super kind staff, like Selena, and a yummy pretzel. They have a cool, shady backyard area with a stage, playground for the kids, and a HUGE rooster strolling around. And, the perfect atmosphere for our favorite guys, Boo and Poo. They are originally from Louisiana and play fun zydeco tunes, shared with great, fun chatter. They have a very strong presence in this area, with a loyal, large following . It was a great time and I strongly recommend the Brewery and the guys. I look forward to returning very soon. Truly, Les bons temps (the good times)!

When I asked for a shot, instead of just saying he didn't know how to make it, the bartender/manager responded with, "I don't know what stupid shit you're trying to order." Completely unprofessional and unnecessary. Service was also extremely slow even though they admitted it was a slow night. The bartenders seemed more interested in talking and taking shots with their local regulars than actually helping customers at the bar. Near closing time they start forcing people out well before 2 AM. The bartender even brought out a megaphone and started yelling and cussing at customers to leave, and they'll take your drink away before closing if you're still finishing it. Looking through other reviews, it's clear people have been having similar experiences here for years, which makes it seem like the owners either don't notice or simply don't care about how customers are treated. Definitely would not recommend.

She was rude and unprofessional and definitely should not be in the customer service business. The food took so long to come out and when it did, the order was wrong. We were charged extra for green beans. Ugh worse customer service. The green tea shot I got was watered down for $7 and when we tried to get her attention she ignored us. Never came back once to ask if we needed anything. Someone else brought the food!

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.

We had to order (and pay for) extra queso. We did ask the waitress if this was the way they always looked and she said yes - so my advice is not to order them. Just order tots and a side of queso and you'll better off. Our friends ordered the loaded fries and they had plenty of queso on theirs.
