Hour sign on the front. These are their summer hours apparently.
Kris V.

So it's a small town eats type place. The hours everywhere are wrong. Attached is the current sign. There was some crazy explanation about owners changing and menus not coming in, blah blah. We saw six couples turn around when they noticed it was closed. Food was eh. Chicken fried chicken was alright, it was all equated to a TV dinner by a few in our party. The fajitas were not so great, oily, skillet fried. Then canned boring beans. Tortillas were homemade. The salad is a small pile of shredded lettuce, more of a garnish. The chips and salsa were good. And for three small meals, it was over $50. So not worth it. The waitresses were all very polite and helpful, the place was clean.

a plate of meat and beans

Worst BBQ ever. The sausage tastes like potted meat. The chicken was old and covered in sauce.. Beans had no flavor .. The best thing there was the sweet tea! What a burger is down the street. Go there

Grilled Chicken with jack cheese and bacon on top.  It was delicious, definitely recommend it!!!!
Gerardo P.

Definitely recommend it to all. It doesn't look like much on the outside. But it has great plates and the staff is very courteous and attentive.

Excellent for a DQ... friendly, attentive employees. The food was HOT! We waited a little bit for…read morethe food, maybe about 12 minutes, but it was really good. Not over cooked or burnt looking like some fast food places. The quality matched the wait time. The place was clean and they were still cleaning. We came well before closing time. Just an overall good experience.

Dairy Queen is a Texas tradition I remember from when I was a small child. Most every small Texas…read moretown has a DQ! This particular DQ is fairly newly built and has nice, clean facilities. I was thankful the AC was working really well, as today the temperature outside was over 100°! I was impressed with the facility. It is pleasant, and apparently a local hangout. It's only three short blocks off the main highway (281) and has good parking. The menu is fairly simple: hamburgers, chicken burgers, chicken or steak finger baskets, tacos, and frozen desserts: soft serve ice cream, shakes, etc. See more at their website. The employees were friendly and helpful. The food was as expected or better. The food took a bit longer than other fast food restaurants I've been, but it arrived served to my table nice and hot. The steak fingers are mostly breading, but tastes good, especially with the gravy. The (American style) tacos were generously filled (though I do prefer the seasoning at Taco Bell. By the time I finished my meal I realized I ate too much to get a dessert... :-( Normally I would have ordered a Blizzard, but I was too full. If you like DQ you will love this one!

I visited this restaurant since I had a job site in this town, a town in which I had never even…read moreheard of before. They offer lunch specials everyday, as well as all day breakfast, homemade pies and cakes, and homemade soups. They offer mostly American food, but there are some Mexican dishes thrown in for good measure. Their menu is a good size and has several good sounding options, like King Ranch chicken, but I came for the chicken fried steak mainly since it was recommended by others. I chose fried okra and mac and cheese for my sides. Chicken fried steak - this is a good thick chicken fried steak that doesn't quite extend to the breading on 2 sides, but it does on the other 2 sides. There is an obscene amount of country gravy on it, not sure why. Mac n cheese - decent version made with processed cheese. It really sticks to your mouth though. Fried okra - this was pretty good actually and lightly salted and crunchy. Not uniform in size and I'd venture to say they were even fresh okra. Dessert - since they have homemade desserts, I had to order something. They have a wide selection of pies, cakes and tiger bars. Tiger bars are similar to the pies, but in the shape of a bar and with an additional reeces like topping. I just stuck with a simple banana cream pie. Ambiance here was actually fairly quiet during the weekday lunch hour for their 2 dining rooms they have. Only 1 customer other than myself in the front room with the register and cold case, and about half of the rear room was filled with customers. Banana cream pie - I don't eat many of these since they're not exactly healthy, but I do love bananas. I thought their banana cream tasted mostly artificial though. There were no chunks of bananas. The crust saa just okay too. Overall, a decent experience with decent friendly service. I would probably try something else next time...and a different dessert too.

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at the breakfast is amazing today we went for…read morelunch and it was amazing as well everything is hot and fresh and flavorful and every person that works there is nothing but kind and helpful!

I've been in Rockport about 5 years now and had never had the opportunity to visit. Today was a…read moreperfect day to adventure out. Great little hideaway place next to Walmart. Nothing fancy loved the ambiance. Immediately greeted and self select of a table. A little bit of a wait for menus and drink orders buts that's okay, Rockport is a laid back place on my opinion. I had the 2-egg (choice of scrambled) with hash browns and choice of meat-Canadian Bacon and toast, I chose an English Muffin. My husband had the grits but asked for Catfish instead of Shrimp and they obliged. Thank you Chef!! Overall I enjoyed my first experience at JJ's and will most definitely return for lunch. I overheard the chicken fried steak is a winner.

I visited this restaurant in the north part of town on a busy Sunday. There were about 20 people…read morealready waiting outside when I arrived. I had called 30 mins prior but they do not do reservations but I gave them my info over the phone anyway. Upon arrival, I did get seated rather quickly with my group of 8, but that's not why I took off 2 stars. This would have been a 3.5 star restaurant because the food was good when it finally came out, but the key word is finally. Once we ordered, it took about 1 hour for the food to even come out. For a small breakfast restaurant this is just ridiculous. We saw 2-3 other tables that arrived after us that received their food. It tells me they either only have 1 person in the kitchen, or they're not prepared for a Sunday crowd. Either way, they're were not prepared. Our group ordered both lunch and breakfast items but based on the foods that were coming from the kitchen, they chose to only cook the breakfast items and bring those to other tables. I chose the chicken fried steak since the menu indicated it was hand-breaded. I picked Texas toast as my bread, and green beans and mashed potatoes as my sides, expecting them to be basically canned and powdered potatoes. The sides ended up being fresh green beans cooked well done with caramelized onions which were very flavorful. The potatoes were homemade as well with cream gravy, but needed some additional seasoning. The rest of my group loved their food too, as all 7 other plates were cleaned with no food left. Just when we thought we were in the clear it was time to pay. Well, that didn't go all that well either. Our waitress was busy bringing orders out and catering to another newly seated table and going back and forth to the kitchen getting them anything and everything to go along with their meal, meanwhile we had our check ready and she bypassed our table 2-3 times and didn't look our way. I didn't want to be rude since she was nice, but she was in over her head and beyond busy apparently. Three stars is being nice here, but we did like the food....so that's their saving grace.
