    Steak Fingers and skinny fries
    Robin H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Edit: I came back for another visit [[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]wanting to try their pho, but i started with the calamari, OUTSTANDING!! Maybe the best I've ever had! Huge portion and only $10!!! The atmosphere and service were great and the food was delicious! Will definitely be back here!

    Fried fish tacos

    Our #1 food spot in Rockport! Honestly, the beach here isn't super impressive in our opinion but I will happily drive down from San Antonio just to eat here. The food is always incredible. They have the absolute best fish tacos I've ever had. And I eat, and make a lot of fish tacos. On our last visit we stayed for three days and ate here twice. A month later we are planning yet another trip and the food here is the biggest allure. Their prices are unbeatable for the portions and quality. Their burgers are always very tempting, maybe on my next visit I will branch out... but those fish tacos have me hooked! My hubby usually gets their fried fish platter and it's all excellent. We have traveled all over the US and this place serves some of the best seafood we have ever had.

    Had the fish tacos with a salad.  It was WONDERFUL!!

    It was busy when we arrived around 130pm on a Saturday but we were sat within 10 minutes. We were a party of 5 and all ordered something different and nothing disappointed!! Food was wonderful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our server was nice didnt really check on us too often for refills or anything but the food and ambiance made up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time we are back in town we will definated go back!!

    Pho Ga and beef with fried rice. 10/10!

    The best pho ever!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is amazing as well as the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of TVs and seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend.

    Menu for Hu-dat

    Just to be clear Benchwarmers & Hudat are a combined restaurant that you can mix and match menu items at this location. This location is conveniently within walking distance of several hotels and was recommended by our hotel concierge. However, my experience at Benchwarmers was disappointing. I ordered the Fulton Burger from their menu, which had fried oysters placed between two burger buns. Unfortunately, the oysters were small and some of them had a strong fishy taste. I found it surprising that a place as busy as Benchwarmers could serve seafood with such an unpleasant flavor. The restaurant has a system with drink runners and food runners, but despite that, my fries were only lukewarm and almost cold. We had to make eye contact with the drink runner to get refills, and our main waitress only returned to give us the bill without even introducing herself. The atmosphere of the place felt similar to a busy Joe's Crab Shack, and it wasn't conducive to hanging out with friends since it was difficult to hear people on the other side of the table. With numerous employees walking around, it lacked a sense of personal attention. Additionally, the drinks were served in Styrofoam cups. In conclusion, I do not recommend this place. During my trip, I visited better spots for dining. However, a friend insisted on trying Benchwarmers and kindly paid for our meal as a wedding gift.

    Arrived at Two Girls Burgers at 6802 Hwy 35 Rockport, Texas 78382 on July 6, 2026 at about 12:55…read morepm. Ordered two Hamburgers with fries* which cost $6 each plus one Canned Coke and one bottled water. Total cost $16. The first thing were the Sourdough Hamburger Buns - Outstanding! The HB Buns were excellent and the HB Pattie must have been 1/3 pound cooked but NOT LESS! It was cooked to a juicy done stage and all together tasted first class. The fries*! Well! They might have called them fries but I called them "Wavy Potato Chips" fried it oil. I was NOT impressed as their "Yelp" pictures showed real fries! Hmm! What happened! Maybe they ran out of regular American Fries? But! We will be back and try the Onion Rings. However, If we get wavy Onion Rings "No Mas" (No more)! We do highly recommend this place. Best all around Hamburgers in Rockport! My qualifications as an Expert and Experienced Food and Service Critic; I have over 65 years of Management Experience.

    Wowza...what a find! CLEAN, nicely decorated, with great wall art, excellent menu, and our server,…read moreStephanie was super! A versatile menu, the majority of which is seafood, as we're in Rockport, but look out for the PERFECT Ribeye. Cooked exactly as ordered, beautifully seasoned, and one of the most tender and flavorful Ribeye steaks, ever. It includes 3 very tasty, grilled shrimp, and two sides. I had the hottest baked potato ever, yum, and delicious green beans. Dylan enjoyed his steak enourmously, with creamed corn and a loaded baked potato. Although we arrived starving, we could both only eat half. No problem, lunch the next day and Bizou was thrilled. Thank you Stephanie! Also, for Rockport, they're open late (9 pm). But they still kindly greeted people at 8:45. Be kind folks, and show as they're shutting everything down!

    Interesting restaurant. Seating inside mainly in 10 tables of 4. They can move together as needed…read more Friendly staff. Quick dining experience, in and out with no hassle. The faster they move you, the quicker they can break the table down and clean for the next person. Food was ok. My expectations were high based on the Google reviews. The white fish was the best part. The calamari was smh... the redfish was not great fried, I think next time I get it grilled. It was over cooked. The breading on the shrimp was different. Not terrible. Just different. My kids and I loved the Pho. The broth was clean, noodles were great and not over cooked. I'd definitely go back for the Pho. If you're looking for that one spot you can go for consistency and a bill that doesn't break your bank, this could be it? I'm struggling because I was impressed with the food scene at Rockport. Even Galveston was better, which is weird. I will say that it was better then Bubba's in Seadrift.
