Come for the views, boat tie ups, drinks and friendly service. Food, I'd skip. It's not bad, there are just better choices. read more

The Dock at Marker 12 - Music Venues Near Me - Rockport, Texas

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. People are too harsh! I'm sure it gets busy in the summer and it's hard to find good help. But it's important to support local businesses in Rockport . This is a great little place with an amazing beachy atmosphere. I shared the fried shrimp and fish plate and it was great. The drinks are great as well. Full bar! read more

Out of most things on the menu. Fish overcooked and way too salty. Hamburger was bad, tasted like old bay seasoning and fish. Fries were cold. We will not be back. read more

My new fave! I've visited this place on several occasions and it never disappoints. Paige is usually our server and she's fantastic. Some of the same specialty drinks as Whiskey Palm, which is also amazing, Highly recommend both places when in Rockport. The menu is limited and hours can vary, so double check before you head over. It's worth it for the views and the food. I recommend the shrimp (some of the best tasting in the area), the fresh oysters (when in season), the large calamari, the wedge salad and the key lime pie. All delicious! And the views are the best in the area. We once watched dolphins playing. Now I'm dreaming about those views, fresh air blowing and sitting in the swings with a cool drink in my hand listening to the music... When family visits, bring them here. They are always on point. read more

My boyfriend and I went to eat here and ZERO complaints what so ever. The staff was phenomenal!! Everyone was so friendly and don't get me started with the food .. we got the surf and Turf and everything was so good. The asparagus was on steroids but still so delicious. Nick the manager was amazing kept checking on us and made us feel very welcomed. 10/10 recommend if you're visiting. The view is a plus and you can also fish we caught non stop. read more

This place knocks the socks off so many other seafood restaurants. Our waitress Paige was spot on. The party I was with never had to ask for a thing, Paige was all over it. The fish and shrimp was amazing. I will definitely be coming back. read more

The setting is spectacular. Sitting outside enjoying a beverage and some live music. Sadly, we never received the food we ordered. After 90 minutes waiting for the fried shrimp special, we asked for our check and went to Crab In for so amazing shrimp!!!! read more

Shrimp cooked to perfection. Fresh and the best I've had anywhere in the area. extremely clean. Service was a little slow, but the frozen margaritas were good, so who cares with such a beautiful view of the bay read more

We are creatures of habit but decided to try a new restaurant. Great location and clean like a new place should be. Ordered fish (Mahi Mahi) tacos $15 and a fish and shrimp plate $18. Waited and waited. Had to ask for drink refills. After 20 minutes food arrived. Fries were cold. Fish and shrimp overcooked. Fish tacos were a few small chunks of fish so fishy I couldn't eat them. Walked out. Ruined our day. Manager apologized. Too late. Food sucks. read more

Nice establishment with a nice view. Mediocre food at a steep price and slow/uninformed servers. Fried calamari was under cooked. Entrees took over 45 minutes (burger, fried fish plate, and fish tacos) Uninformed waitresses on the bar menu. I watched the bartender eat food at the bar and then make drinks and then go back to eat. She may have washed her hands but I didn't see it. We was a "new" waitress who was so lost. She said it was her second week at this establishment. This is to no fault of her own, the establishment needs leadership and a manager. Owners and managers have a duty to train their employees well and watch the entire establishment to indicate what is working and what needs changes. I asked if the manager or owner was in the room and she said they were downstairs. Without changes, I don't see this establishment making it 2 more years. It's sad, it has potential. read more

Fried fish and shrimp lightly breaded. Food was good. Parking lot is junky but restaurant/bar is very nice.

Newly opened place so decided to try it out with the hubs. They serve dinner starting at 5pm and we got there when they opened. Decided to try outdoor dining despite the +90° weather. Cross breeze was nice and made it bearable. Started the evening with a margarita and hard seltzer. Margarita was a mix and cheap tequila. I'd say pass for the $10 price. Next was some appetizers. We decided on the calamari and loaded waffle potatoes, and both were a hit. The waffle fries were crisp and had a decent amount of toppings. The calamari was cooked to perfection and the accompanying sauces were delicious too. Entree we agreed on was fish tacos. A little heavy on the cabbage and contrary to belief you don't need to add comino to the top. Maybe cilantro (instead of parsley) and lime with a little salt. We'll go back for sure. Especially for music. Next time easy cabbage and no comino. Also, they're adding more items to the menu. read more

So many things. We visited about 1pm on a Friday afternoon but it is a holiday weekend. Restaurant looks nice and the views are pretty. We were told immediately that they were out of burgers. I wasn't super interested in having a beer but since they had liquor I asked if they made Moscow Mules. I noticed they had the copper mugs. Bartender said she had never heard of that before. I then asked if they had tonic and she said she had no idea. She asked someone else and they told her yes so I ordered a vodka tonic. We were a large table so we figured food wouldn't come out fast but after waiting over an hour the food finally arrived. It was extremely underwhelming. My shrimp tacos literally had one and a half shrimp on each taco. The bbq wings had an awful sauce on it. The chicken burger had a hair in it. The fish and shrimp platter appeared good though as well as the fettuccine Alfredo. Service was just so so. I definitely would not recommend unless you just want a beer and a pretty view. read more

We t to Watch the KC Chiefs playoff game due to their Facebook ad. Come watch it with us seven big screen TVs only game played tonight. So my friends and I went there to find out there was an over much over personnel birthday party going on with live music and the noise was so bad we could not watch the game due to the people and live band and noise!! Absolutely would NOT recommend this joint for future ventures. read more

Potatoes were dry late on mocktails no room inside smelt like oysters cold no cheese on baked potatoes. Service was slow. Wouldn't recommend. Dark chocolate cake and didn't tell you. Mold in toilet no napkins. Almost fell in water. Had crooked Co Swings read more

Although the views are beautiful and it's such a cool venue, we had a disappointing experience. The wedge salad was terrible. There was hardly any blue cheese, just a few stale bacon bits, 2 grape tomatoes and the blue cheese dressing was warm as though it had been sitting out. The waiter assured me the bottle had just been opened. The very small iceberg wedge was crisp, however. The calamari was ok. Mostly small rings. Hard to pay high prices when eating with plastic ware and drinking a $10.40 glass of wine in a plastic cup. The drink prices are not posted which is not transparent nor good for business. This could be the perfect venue given its location on the water, cool vibes and nice wait staff. read more

Food was really good, menu was quite small but all the options we ended up choosing were delicious highly recommend the shrimp patty on the burger, servers were nice, vibes were good highly recommend! read more

1 hour and 48 minutes to get a SALAD!!! multiple excuses... empty tea glasses for over 30 minutes... this is the 2nd time weve had a bad experience!! They gave us a I'm sorry gift card for next time, I gave it away to my neighbor, they used it yesterday and I got cussed out for recommending that place. They had the same experience and only ordered fish and fries.... We're done!! read more
