    BBQ Frito Pie
    Austin J.

    Service was great! Restaurant was quaint and clean. Noise level was low. We got the fried pickles (10/10). The BBQ Frito Pie was amazing. Also got a 1Meat plate with ribs, pinto beans and French fries. Ribs were so flavorful that they don't even need BBQ sauce. Highly recommend for a casual meal.

    We've been in the area for a couple of weeks and had not yet tried this barbecue place. We seem to hit it at an off time and never when they were open but we were so fortunate today that we were craving barbecue and found them open. Oh my gosh and we're so glad we did. The pictures say it all with the quantity of food that is being served for the price. We got a dinner for two with huge pork ribs perfectly smoked and 12 hand breaded fried shrimp along with two sides that were gigantic and all for less than $40. Clearly the meals could have accommodated four people and for a total of $40 you can't beat it. Fortunately for us we have plenty of leftovers tomorrow when it's supposed to rain all day! I hear the banana pudding is to die for and we certainly will try that next. Strictly a personal note for the negative reviews - has a long time and very faithful yelper I noticed at times that people who are not active yelpers and have very few reviews often only post when they have something negative to say. Several of the reviews for this restaurant have less than five reviews and many of them years old. It begs the question whether these are personal vendettas or something's just not fair in their evaluation. Only my opinion but wanted to still provide a fair assessment of the restaurant.

    We arrived an hour before they closed, and we're still served amazing food! Fried pickles, sausage sandwich, fish sandwich, bbq sandwich, and a cheeseburger. Great wait staff, and a nice sassy cashier that kept everyone in line. We took a banana pudding to go!

    1/2 lb of moist brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs

    "oh man you need to to the Shack if you want good bbq." Those were just a few of the words shared with me when I was in a local store asking where to get good bbq. Knowing I had been here once before, I figured, what the hell...I'll give it another shot. Absolute garbage! This was the absolute WORST brisket and ribs I've ever had, and I promise I'll never find a place as bad. So I guess you could say this is the best worst bbq there is.

    They give you 10 HUGE and perfectly cooked shrimp!

    Always eat here when I'm in town. Best ribs and brisket ever. Thinking about taking some with me for my freezer at home.

    The food was wonderful! The barbecue was on point. I will have to take off one star because the smell of cleaning supplies was overpowering.

    Good Mexican restaurant on the main strip near the Walmart in Rockport…read more We prefer to sit at the bar where the service is friendly and quick. Drinks are good - we like their margaritas. I'm a fan of the enchiladas verde and my wife loves the aguachiles which have a great spicy salsa with fresh vegetables. Chips and salsa are good too - ask for the habanero salsa if you want a kick.

    The service was great. The music too loud. The food, not so much. We started with chips, salsa,…read moreand a bean dip with chorizo. That was good. We ordered a ground beef quesadilla supreme, and a cheese enchilada with onions, charro beans, rice, and a side of guacamole. The quesadilla was OK, but lacked seasoning. The enchilada lacked that real cheese flavor and was more like cheese whiz or Velveeta. I couldn't even taste the red sauce that was on it because of all the cheap cheese. The guacamole was too lemony and tasted food service, and had that dull green color like it wasn't fresh. The rice was bland. The charro beans were good. The prices are fair for the food quality. In Rockport, one place has great guacamole, another great margs, another great enchiladas, and another the best charro beans. None of this is under one roof. I didn't have a marg here, but I hear they are very good. We went there today because our regular place was closed and we needed to run to Walmart anyway, so that was convenient. To each his own, but that's my review.
