Had an amazing lunch delivered, and honestly I did not expect it to be so good, or affordable. Plus, before I ordered I had some questions and the woman was so kind and patient. The food arrived about 15 minutes later and was perfect. It may have been the best shrimp Po boy I ever had. My son's burger was HUGE, and came exactly as ordered. Their fries were yummy too, and they weren't even the type I usually like. Definitely check them out. The only downside, like so much of Rockport, were limited hours. So plan ahead and enjoy! read more

Ordered delivery and was not disappointed. Got the pork, chicken and ribs on the 3 meat plate with potato salad and fries and everything was really good. Will definitely be back to try the smoked seafood. 8/10. read more

The beef/sausage BBQ was very good, but the shrimp and fish poboys were absolutely marvelous. The seafood was super fresh. The banana pudding was homemade and reminded me of my grandmas. Good stop off the road. read more

Great little place in Rockport, Texas. Great menu, something for everyone. Food is great, I had the Loaded Baked Potato, so yummy AND, AND I had enough leftover for dinner. Whew, it was so good. My husband had the brisket/sausage po-boy. Delicious. They also have burgers or fried shrimp/fried fish, great selection on the menu. Waitstaff is on point, helpful and courteous. Come on in, sit right down & someone will be right with you. Definitely will be coming back for more good food! read more

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. read more

The smell will lure you in-true Texas Bbq Smokey smell. With closing time in less than 2 hrs was not expecting to get lean brisket and had already anticipated cutting off the fat. What a nice surprise when the BBQ chef said he could try and he did-we got exactly what we wanted nice lean brisket with just a tad of the good smoked fat. And the portion of the sides was amazing-cream corn and potato salad. Best cream corn-creamy and peppery. read more

First time visiting this restaurant. Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in. Amazing customer service was on point. The food was delicious.

Back again to this restaurant.. this time I tried the seafood bomb... had to be the best seafood I have had in a long time. Everything was cooked to perfection and I even got it to go. The portions were plentiful and seasoned to make it even better. The order was ready when they promised and packed perfectly to make the short trip home. Will definitely try that one again!! read more

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. read more

Lovely homey place with a lot of small-town charm. Good, simple and inexpensive food with generous portions. Especially recommend the fried mushrooms . Also had the bbq chicken . Super-friendly waitress Gina was a pleasure to chat with read more

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.

Friendly, efficient service. The food was fast and very delicious. They were filling lots of take out orders and have a great system. We were very pleased and would recommend their business. Well done! read more

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! read more

"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. read more

Stopped in for BBQ but end up having a bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious. Just decided didn't want BBQ.

My wife and I were down in Rockport to see the whooping cranes. We took a ride on the Skimmer that turned me into a human popsicle. I was so cold to the bone when we docked, that I told my wife I didn't care where or what we ate as long as I was inside a warm building. Since we had done a few seafood places, even though she doesn't like seafood, she suggested that we eat barbecue at a place we saw on the way to Goose Island State Park. When we got there, it was closed. We decided to drive through Rockport and just find a place to eat. That's when we saw The Shack. It was surrounded by cars, which is usually a good sign, so in we went. The server was very attentive and friendly. She took our drink orders and gave us time to peruse the menu. As we glanced around the dining room we saw some ladies who had been on the birding cruise with us. I also saw two Texas game wardens eating at another table. I figured game wardens probably knew where to eat. My wife order a barbecue beef sandwich of some kind. All I know is that she said it was really good. I passed on the barbecue when I saw fried shrimp on the menu. They give you 10 HUGE fried shrimp, steak fries, and coleslaw for only $13.00. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. I was in heaven. For fried shrimp in the future, this is my place! read more

The best Burger in R- Port !! , the service is fantastic, very Friendly staff. I also enjoyed the fried Shrimp basket =).

Good food. Great service. Most definitely will return. 10/10. Ordered brisket and shrimp was awesome

Went to this place today and WOW it was amazing!! The brisket, chicken and sausage had great flavor. The service was also excellent. I recommend this place 100%. Go early they run out of BBQ quick. read more

Great BBQ and Seafood. Brisket was great and fried fish was delicious. Service was excellent and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

My 5 star rating is based on their BBQ. I went in and picked up takeout. Ordered 1lb of the marbled brisket, 1 lb of sausage, 1/2 lb of chopped brisket and pinto beans. This is not just the best BBQ in Rockport, but some of the best I have had in Texas. The Brisket was very tender with a great smoke ring and crust. The chopped brisket was moist with a great smoked taste and slightly burnt in a good way, such as when you order burnt ends. The sausage came sliced and was very juicy. I am not a person who enjoys left overs, but there was so much in the order I was able to make sausage, potato, egg, and cheese tacos for breakfast. For dinner I used the left over chopped brisket and prepared some of the best Chopped Brisket nachos I have ever had. The staff were very friendly and the Rockport community showed their kindness. When I went in to place my order, I saw two County Sheriffs having lunch. I asked the cashier if I could have their check, as I appreciate 1st responders. The cashier replied, "You're too late, honey. Someone already took care of it." Will be returning. read more

Very good BBQ. Great service. Love their Frito pie and chopped beef sandwich. Good beans and potato salad.

One of our go to favorites!! Great food always!! Great service!!! Worth the wait if y'all have to!! 5 stars!!

I passed this place up the first time. It's a large metal building quite close the road. There's not much room to park street side. But there are other parking options. Decor is sparse and didn't meet what I would think of as BBQ, more cowboy picnic. I had the three meat combo with brisket, pork loin and ribs. The ribs and loin had a delicious smoky flavor and you could see the pink smoke ring in the meat. It was all very tender and oh so very tasty. I was a bit shocked with the beans, but I have to remember this is Texas BBQ so the beans are different. The slaw was very good. Price was good. I'll be back. I enjoyed it all. read more

Not impressed. Studied the menu online and went over to order. I wanted a quarter chicken, DARK, and a baked potato. Ooops! They're out of potatoes. Ok. I'll do the quarter chicken dark and Coleslaw. Is it creamy or vinegar type dressing. "Vinegar based. Ok. Great. Get back to the hotel and I have a dry chicken breast and wing and creamy coleslaw. And when I say dry, I mean dry. Won't happen again unless assure you. read more

Nothing had flavor. I had the shrimp basket and my hubby had the 2 meat plate and chose brisket. The food was barely warm. I would never come back here read more

This place is pretty small but they do their best to try to accommodate everyone during busy times, moving tables around and all. There's not much to the atmosphere; it's pretty basic. I figured from the whining in other reviews that they serve East Texas barbecue - the kind best doused in sauce and served atop something else. So I ordered a loaded baked potato. The waiter brought me a baked potato with a mound of chopped brisket soaked in barbecue sauce on top. It was pretty good, but what was odd was that all the rest of the toppings were on the side - a few packets of butter, a tube of sour cream, a container of cheese, and a container of bacon bits. I call it a do-it-yourself loaded baked potato. The only downside is that the cheese and butter aren't melted by the potato. read more

Kind of a strange place. Basically just a large room with tables. Not much atmosphere at all. Not fancy, but very clean and cared for. Nice menu, looked good. Food was ok at best. Things were just warm, not hot. Ribs were kind of chewy, not fall off the bone like I like them, perhaps because they weren't warmed through. Chicken breast dry. Potato salad tasted store bought and doctored. The slaw was good. No bread with the BBQ, but massive amounts of onion and pickle. ?? We've been experiencing a lot of pre-cooked/portioned food when eating out, it's not what we're looking for. read more

Six tired and hungry adults decided to try this tiny restaurant on a Sunday at noon. The place is small, only about 12 tables, but we were pleasantly surprised at the food and service. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries, shrimp basket with potato salad, loaded baked potato, sausage sandwich with pinto beans, chopped brisket sandwich with fries and a shrimp platter with coleslaw and pinto beans. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious; portions are large and the waitress was very efficient and friendly. Our only gripe is they were out of banana pudding! Long lines form at the door but it's worth the wait. Total for six meals plus six soft drinks/tea was $78.89 before tip. read more
