Service: excellent, attentive and friendly Food: excellent as well. We went for lunch and the sandwiches and soups were excellent! However the name of the establishment is "Apple Dumplings" but they were out of apple dumplings lol. Seems like your namesake should never run out! Atmosphere: cafe style. The day we were there the air conditioner went out but we still stayed, it wasn't too unbearable. I will not take any stars off for this because it was an uncontrollable mechanical issue. We will be back, cute hole in the wall delicatessen. read more

My favorite place to eat if I am able to find time. I just wish they were open longer. Service is always amazing and food as well. Nothing bad to say about this place. read more

Small and unspectacular to look at, this place fills a void in Rockport. I went here just to find a solution to my 5 year old's desire to try a "hot sandwich" at a restaurant. There are various kinds of cafe-style sandwiches and salads, and all of them are really good! The bread is flavorful, the portions are fair, and there is a lot of variety! The one gripe is that the coffee is squarely in the territory of bad. Just an airpot of brew that barely qualifies as coffee, in a paper cup, with some packets of dry creamer. If they had better coffee, I'd probably spend an hour and a half here. The Apple Dumpling(their namesake dessert) is one of the best desserts in Rockport. read more

LOVE this place. I always get the French dip or a good old BLT. The potato soup is AMAZING. This is such a good place to bring friends and family that are visiting rockport. It's such a cute little place and feels so homey. If ur looking for a good lunch place this is definitely it!!! read more

This hole in the wall is simply superb. The bread is freshly baked with each slice individually toasted, and the meats are flavorful, tender and juicy. The tomato basil and tortilla soups we had were simple, subtle, but flavorful. We had a healthy salad, which is hard to find in Rockport. The apple tart we had for desert was baked to perfection. This is the best lunch restaurant we've found in Rockport at any price. I would typically put beach food up there with amusement park food and Las Vegas food (that it has to be graded on a happy-to-be-here curve to fare well), but the Apple Dumpling Deli would be great anywhere. Our family loved it. I wish they'd open for more normal hours. read more

So a year later we are back. This time I had the Greek salad and a cup of baked potato soup. It was refreshing. A nice break from all of the great but rich seafood we've been having. Buy your kid a grilled triple cheese sandwich. Have a big salad and a bowl of soup. read more

Apple Dumpling Deli - Triple grilled cheese sandwich - Delis Near Me - Rockport, Texas

Quaint little place & delicious. Had the 1/2 egg salad sandwich on pumpernickel with a cup of baked potato soup. The bread is baked fresh & heavenly. A must try in Rockport, TX. So glad our friends recommended it! read more

Looking for a quick bite. Grandma ordered the 1/2 sandwich & 1/2 salad- I had the 1/2 sandwich & soup. The tomato basil soup was okay, but the sandwiches were amazing. The BLT salad was heavy on the B, but who could complain about that??? The bread was either made in house or from somewhere local because it was thick cut, fresh, and delicious. We got a grilled cheese for the baby. The grilled cheese was so-so, but my son's behavior was also so-so. I felt like they were under staffed, but the food and relaxed atmosphere more than made up for the busy wait staff. It was close to closing on Saturday, so they sent us home with some peach hand pies and some blondies... Highly recommended- we will definitely be back! read more

Apple Dumpling deli has a quant, small town atmosphere. A friend and I went in to try the apple dumpling and a cup of coffee. We lucked out and got the last two Apple treats for the day. They were delicious! Cinnamon, sugared apple slices baked in a pastry, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. Definitely worth the stop! read more

This is a great little place for sandwiches! Everything we had was delicious! We had an apple dumplin with vanilla bean ice cream!! Yum!!

For a sandwhich shop, with an order of 2 half sandwhiches and a cup of soup, it took all of the hour of my lunch. Soup was good but sandwhich was slapped together. Chaos at table next to us on their order and they were here before me. Sorry to say will never come back. Over priced sandwhich, poor quality. LONG WAIT. read more

Outstanding lunch. Tomato Bisque soup and half a Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich. Waitress was fantastic and ambiance was homey

This place is awesome! All fresh food! Homemade breads! Top notch with a healthy selection! Love it! My favorite lunch spot in Rockport area for sure!!!!! read more

I LOVE this place and it's a must to visit every time I travel to Rockport. I love the Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich and the sourdough bread - nothing else like it anywhere - it's special. My daughter always orders an apple dumpling for dessert and I make sure to have a bite (or two!). So yummy! read more

Super great food. Awesome service. Baked potato soup is the best, and so is their "grilled cheese"

The beat sandwich I've ever had. Period. Definitely support this little deli. Homemade bread, great meats. If you're going eat lunch in Rockport, eat here. read more

Great Gazpacho soup, Ruben sandwiches, and apple dumplings. Local food with warm and friendly service.

Delicious food and it's all homemade...even the ice cream! Yum! Bummer is that they run out of stuff and they're only open 11-3.

Fantastic sandwiches with delicious homemade bread - perfect for a hot day at the beach!

We came in for lunch around twelve and erre immediately served bread and drinks. Which was nice considering the the extremely hot weather. The inside is sorta cute, in an old fashioned way. It's a little dirty, but in our ten years in Rockport it has always been busy. Pretty quickly a server came to take our order. We began to order and had to repeat ourselves multiple times because he wasn't listening. We though nothing of it until we needed to order a meal for my younger sister who has food allergies. We asked if he knew it could ask if their bread had eggs or nuts because she wanted a Turkey sandwich. He said he didn't know, and would give her the sandwich without bread. My mom repeat her question about asking the kitchen to check the ingredients. He repeated the order for turkey slices with tomato and lettuce. She asked him nicely to go check with the kitchen or bring the packaging and she could read it. He muttered something that we couldn't hear and became very angry. He stomped off to the kitchen and came back less that thirty seconds later. At this point my friend and I were exchanging looks trying to figure out what was happening. My mother was shocked. To make it worse, the whole restaurant was staring at us. One lady mouthed to me to ask if we were alright, I simply shrugged. The man continued to tell us that they typically keep their packaging but currently didn't have the packaging and that they typically have a allergy friendly menu but not today. How does that make sense? My mom told him to put in our order and that she would figure out something else for my sister. As soon as he left the table, my friend and I expressed our disinterest in eating there. We told the kitchen to cancel our order and we payed for our drinks. We had to wait there for my dad to pick us up. The whole time we sat there, the man stared at us. Had my dad been there, that would have gone a whole lot differently. His rage at a child for having uncontrollable food allergies was insane. He made my mother uncharacteristicly silent. We have had people who don't understand food allergies treat us less than well, but never has anyone ever blamed my sister. He was acting like she was his own personal burden. Apple Dumpling's used to be one of our favorite restaurants in the Rockport area. I can tell you that we will certainly never go back. The moral of this story is that Apple Dumpling is not allergy friendly, unless your not a well behaved twelve year old who just wanted a sandwich. P.S. Tropical Smoothie Cafe is wonderful with food allergies. Also, their food is amazing. read more

We used to go to this place 10 years ago. The apple dumplings were just as good:) The sandwiches were tasty and very large. Additionally the staff went out of their way with their hospitality. We will absolutely be going back when we visit Rockport again. read more

Apple Dumpling Deli - A yummy place! - Delis Near Me - Rockport, Texas

Fabulous food! Everything is made fresh right there, even the bread for the sandwiches and the fresh ice cream. Everything I have tried so far has been great. They have limited hours, so go early. We just moved here to Rockport from the Denver area and have tried several restaurants already, this one gets my top vote so far. read more

Lunch time favorite eats. Their soups and sandwiches are amazing! Not cheap, but I'd say worth the money. Potato soup is my fave.

Service horrible, a/c broken or off, waited 25 min after ordered tea and never got tea or placed order.... Left....Sad to see place go downhill read more

I had the French Dip today. It was excellent! The portion of beef was very generous and the grilled sourdough bread was outstanding. The au jus was great, not as salty as it has been! If you were disappointed in the past , give this place another try !! read more

Had a very pleasant experience lunch today...... Under new construction and ownership..... Clean restaurant , very clean... Nice people...... Had Texas tea note: Large..... Had a combo soup & Sandwich. The tomato soup was great and plenty, the 1/2 French roast beef sandwich was plenty as well. Give me Clean-Friendly and good and I'll be back.... Please give them a try if you live or visiting Rockport..... Tell Cory the Rib King said HI................ read more

True food bliss. Fresh made bread makes the sandwiches! I recommend the tunaberry with a cup of potato soup but all the creative sandwiches are wonderful. Homemade ice-cream is delicious! read more

Horrible service, AC doesn't seem to work, rude old man taking orders and payments. He lost 1/2 our table's order, so we didn't all get our food together....was disrespectful towards us and others waiting for him to take their order. Most started walking out after waiting 20 minutes for him to wait on them. Almost waked out because he wouldn't come to the cash register as I stood there holding my 14 month old for at least 10 minutes. read more

The Apple Dumpling is a unique place to eat in Rockport,Texas. My personal favorite is the egg salad on pumpernical (sp?) bread in tandem with their delicious tomatoe basil soup. Potatoe soup is another hearty delight that is served daily. Amazing brownies with homemade ice cream. Yummy. read more

Yes, the front desk guy is weird, no he is not unstable. Food is delicious, bread is amazing, especially if you order a sandwich where it comes toasted. read more

I have been eating the amazing baked potato soup for over 7 years, yes, it is obvious there are new owners, the soup I ordered was not edible, tasteless. I couldnt believe it so i adked a co worker to taste it. Horrible, a real let down. I took one bite and threw it in the trash. Our business has always used Apple Dumpling Deli to order lunch in for our clients. I will not eat there again. read more

I love their sandwiches, service is a little slow. The ice cream is great. Soups are overpriced for the portions.

Been here for lunch 6/7 times and it never disappoints. Sandwiches are HUGE and always very good. Bread is made fresh. Soups are good. 1/2 sandwich and soup is a great combo. Give it a try! You will be back. read more

Wife and I had soup, sandwiches, and dessert. The fresh, in restaurant baked sourdough bread made the sandwich for me. The wife's potato soup was comforting and delicious. The apple dumpling was good. I'm not a fair critic because I'm not a huge fan of dumplings. The in restaurant made ice cream was fabulous. The wife raved about the Mexican chocolate ice cream and my raspberry ice cream was wonderful. read more

Very cute cafe, but I thought it was a bit expensive for what you get. I had the Greek salad with chicken, but wasn't a big fan. My hubby had the roast beef melt, and it was pretty tasty. The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted. The dark chocolate brownie was also great, and the other dessets looked good as well. read more

We love this place. The bread is always so good and fresh. I've had them make party platters which always are a hit! Egg salad is a favorite. read more

Still the best option for lunch in Rockport. Home made bread and soup are wonderful. Sandwiches are huge so think about sharing. Salads are also good and the apple dumplings are good but we never have room! read more

We always stop in for lunch at least once when we are in Rockport. The huge sandwiches on homemade bread are delicious and filling. We also love the soups, salads and homemade desserts. Call ahead and ask them to make an extra loaf of bread to take home. Our favorite is the sourdough. My sons are in heaven when we get home and still have that bread for sandwiches and toast. read more

Visited Rockport for my first time with some family. Apple Dumpling Deli was recommended to us and it was better than advertised. I had the Colby's Bold Chicken salad and it was the best chicken salad I've ever had. I went back the next day to get another, but they are closed on Sundays. Will be going back next time I'm in the area. read more
