Pier 77 doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does it right.
The service is solid and welcoming. The food shows up fresh, hot, and honest, with portions that don’t insult your appetite. Prices feel fair—borderline generous—for what lands on the table. The menu is small, but that’s a strength; every item earns its place.
The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, the kind of place that lets you slow down and breathe. Flavors are bold and clean, no shortcuts taken. Craftsmanship shows in every plate.
If you’re in Rockport, Texas, this spot is an easy yes—simple to find, hard to forget.
Standout dish? The fried fish plate. Crispy, hot, and downright excellent.
Pier 77 knows its lane—and stays in it beautifully.

Was recommended to go here from a local for boiled shrimp. Had the shrimp boil with potatoes and corn. Shrimp were more than enough for 2 people, were large, tasty, and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend checking out. They take cash only, but have an ATM there. They don’t serve adult beverages but allow BYOB.

Best spot I’ve found for great portion sizes and good quality food. Definitely will be taking some home. Cash only, but I think the quality and atmosphere are well worth it.

Went for dinner after seeing the good reviews and it was delicious! The portions are big and priced well. I got the Grilled Pork chops with mushrooms sauce. Got a cup of chicken gumbo that I was impressed with. The roux was great. My husband got the Buttered garlic shrimp and loved it. Definitely recommend and going back.

This place is expensive for the quality. They have a BYOB with an added fee for when you do. There “boils” are strictly the meat…if you want the normal boil add ins (corn, potatoes etc.) there’s a fee for that too! They are not dog friendly. The atmosphere is nothing special by any means. Basically, do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!!! Oh, and they’re cash only with ATM fees. This place really should be called “Hidden Fees”!

On our way to Brownsville, we wanted to stop on Rockport to eat. We saw this Restaurant before in passing and decided to try it out. It is cash only. No signs anywhere. Not very many people carry cash anymore, but the do ket you know there is an ATM. We had the Calamari, shrimp linguine Alfredo and my husband had the seafood gumbo. The linguine had way too much garlic it was hard to eat. The waitress offered another dish. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo. Alfredo sauce was the White velvet cheese. Tasted like Mac n cheese. The gumbo flavor was not the same. Not sure what kind of Rue was used. We paid over $100.00. Paid it and left. Atmosphere was nice inside. But food was not good at all.

Overall, look to stop here when you’re here for more than a day. The fried fish and shrimp were awesome! If you get the combo and two side salads, it is plenty of food for most. I did just the fried shrimp with sweet potato fries, and I couldn’t finish it. Two others in our group split the combo with fries and side salads and couldn’t finish it. The bacon burger was huge with a double patty and lots of fries. I would say share it and save room for dessert because I had an awesome piece of exploding chocolate cake. I recommend coffee with the cake. I will note that the fries were average for me. The seasoned fries were crisp, but light on seasoning, which for my father-in-law would be great. The sweet potato fries were delicious, but I wish they were a bit more crisp. So, the lack of 4 stars had more to do with the wait staff. She was not a ray of sunshine, but I think she was having a rough day because she had others that helped her land the plane, which speaks well of the staff. We all have bad days. The place had a family feel, like visiting the grandparents fishing cabin. Note, this is CASH ONLY, and no alcohol, well BYOB. I doubt these will be issues, but they may require a bit more planning.

If you are ever around this place,don’t hesitate to stop by if you are hungry. At first we thought it was pricey,but when we got our order. Plenty of food and it was delicious. I had the shrimp and fries plate,while my wife had the fish and fries plate. The food was amazingly delicious. Whenever we return we will definitely stop by. Two thumbs up.

Sad to report, this visit was not at all like the 1st (4th of July timeline). Service seemed not as friendly. We both had the garlic shrimp with the garlic butter on the side. I had the baked potato fully loaded & and Cole slaw. Husband had the sweet potato fries & and Cole slaw. He had the chicken gumbo soup, which was very good. I had the side salad. The shrimp was not at all like before. This was overcooked & had no real flavor. All but the fries came out very heat hot. The fries were cold. The best part about my meal was the baked potato. It’s huge & perfectly fluffy inside. The toppings are great. We were excited to get back to Pier 77 on this mini vacation. We talked about how good it was several times since July. It’s pretty disappointing that it’s changed. We might give it one more try, but the prices are high & if that isn’t good, we won’t go back. The snowbirds all seemed to be ordering the fried fish. We’ll try that if we do go back.
I really hope this was just an “off” night. This was our date night & that was a bummer.

Food was amazing!! Fried flounder entree is top notch!! My personal favorite were the Texas rangoons. Our server Amanda was attentive and on point despite the restaurant being full the whole time we were there!! I knew it was gonna be good when the parking lots were both full at 5pm!!!
