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.

TLDR: Nemo's is a strip mall restaurant that serves seafood and Vietnamese food. It's one of the…read morefew spots in town that offers alligator. While the menu is pleasantly diverse, the food left something to be desired (e.g. overbreaded & overcooked coconut shrimp). The kids menu is 100% deep fried. I don't mind the strip mall location (some of the most amazing restaurants reside there) or the tacky decor (i.e. a poster of an open window on the wall). However, I just wasn't impressed by the food. My main dish -- the coconut shrimp -- was very heavily breaded. The shrimp lost its succulent texture and became one with the breading. Sort of like a mushy organism. Some of the best coconut shrimp I've had has always been lightly breaded -- where the shrimp still retains its pop and is complemented by the batter, not smothered by it. The sides didn't impress either. The cabbage was okay but the creamed corn was a fail altogether. The cream was super liquid-y and sank to the bottom while the flavorless corn sat on top. Unlike the shrimp which united with the breading, the corn seceded from the cream. The alligator was probably the best part. It was pretty heavily breaded but since the tough texture of gator works best when concealed (unlike shrimp), it worked well. The kids' menu was pretty disappointing. It was on brand (fried shrimp, fried fish, chicken strips -- all served with fries). However, I was really hoping to find at least one option that wasn't battered and deep fried. Even just a grilled cheese or a hamburger. The shrimp and the chicken tasted pretty good but once again, heavily breaded. Oh, I must give credit where it is due -- the fries were actually really good! Service was mostly great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She did forget an extra side that we ordered but we had plenty of food so it wasn't a big deal.

The shrimp were okay, but just not a good Cajun boil seasoning at all. It's like the seasoning was sprinkled on top, but hardly anything was in the boil. They were flavorless. We left with a big bill and not enough food. Also, they didn't have regular claw crackers because they said people would steal them. They had wooden mallets instead like for lobster. That's not the same and it doesn't work the same way. Useless wooden mallets. The restaurant itself was fine. A little dingy, but to be expected. Our waiter was super nice and friendly. That's about it.

This afternoon he wanted me to show him where Coasters is; we did a drive by. I highly recommend Coasters food. The staff was very helpful, brought us to go cups while we drank our iced tea and ginger ale while we waited and topped us off when we left. Super experience with a great family vibe!

I looked over the menu here beforehand and it seemed to have exactly what I was looking for. The place was nice and clean inside. I can't remember our waiter's name, but he did a great job. Drinks stayed full, and the kitchen had the appetizers and entrees coming out with perfect timing. Nothing felt rushed and we weren't sitting around waiting either. We started with the shrimp quesadillas. They were well filled and had great flavor. My wife tried a couple of different cocktails that I can't remember the names of. I know her second one had elderflower in it, and she really enjoyed both. I stuck with their Strawberry Blonde beer throughout the night. The strawberry flavor was a little stronger than I expected, but apparently not strong enough to stop me from having three of them. My wife ordered the crawfish étouffée, which she enjoyed and completely finished. I went with the Snapper Pontchartrain, and it was incredible. I highly recommend this dish. I had the hobo potatoes and broccoli slaw for my sides. The hobo potatoes weren't quite what I expected, but they were fine. That broccoli slaw, though, was delicious. I definitely recommend giving this place a try. Solid service, tasty food, and I always appreciate a local spot brewing its own beer. Support local, y'all.
