Where is some good place to get "SEAFOOD" there. Not fancy, just working mans hangout for fisherman. Thanks for the help.

The Boiling Pot.Shrimp,crablegs,crawfish,potatoes & corn on the cob cooked all in one pot and dumped on butcher paper in the middle of the table.Go hungry.

I agree with the Boiling Pot if you like that kind of thing (might be a bit spicy for some folks). I also like Charlotte Plummers restaurant and the Big Fisherman is good too (really large portions).

That is good eatin! The wife and do that once a month! Both The "Boiling Pot" and "The Big Fisherman" have always been pretty good!

I'll have to put The Big Fisherman & Charlotte Plummers on the list for next time.

mmmmmmmmmm.....
you guys are killin' me!

wish I was there now!

Is the Big fisherman the place that used to have animals behind glass that you could watch as you eat? It burned what, 15 years ago or so. Yeah, that place was good and plenty of food. If I remember right, it was pretty cheap too.

Yeah Chuck..That's it.
I can't go to the Rockport area without hitting the BigFisherman a couple of times.

are they short on restaurants out there? im thinking of opening one out there.

a BBQ place.

They are not short on restaurants for sure. There are others that I didn't mention because I couldn't remember the names, just know how to get to them. Anyway, not sure about bbq joints in the area. When I go to Rockport/Port A, it's all about the seafood for me. We generally eat at some form of seafood restaurant every evening, just mix it up from place to place since they are all a little different.

Charlottle Plummers for sure! Right on the water and great food too!

The only restaurant that stays open late is Panjos. We get off the water late and go eat there because it's usually the only one still open. Slim pickens in Rockport.

I agree with Charlotte Plummer's and the Big Fisherman.

If you have a hankering fro Chinese food , the Hu-Dat restaurant in Rockport is excellent. Owned by the family of Dat Nguyen, Dallas Coboy.

When in Port A we drive to Rockport to eat at Big Fisherman.

panjos has awesome thin crust pizza, but for some reason everytime I go in there I always get involved in a pizza eating contest and leave stuffed and broke, the real fun comes the next morning, good thing I wadefish... As for seafood charlotte plummers is great and easy to get to

For a good burger and a cold one try Rocky Hill Ranch in Rockport

Charlotte Plummers in Fulton,just up the road. A little upscale is Lattitudes in Rockport.

I enjoyed Trout Street last time I was in Port A.

There is a restaurant next to the ramp at Cove Harbor and it had good food, the Big Fisherman IMHO is not the restaurant it once was, although it still is a big draw. Awhile back I tried a little place called The Diner, it had a great seafood platter for a real reasonable price.

The Big Fisherman needs to cut back on breading. Everything there is extra fried.. You get a huge plate of food.. but once you stomach down the 10-12 ounces of extra greasy breading, your left with about 2 ounces of actual seafood. Its like they bread it then fry it then bread it again then fry again.. Maybe 3 times!! Me and my buddies left there feeling like we drank a 10 gallon jug of vegetable oil. Only eaten there once, maybe they had an off night or something.

I had the Jumbo Fried Shrimp at Big Fisherman several nights ago. It tasted like it had been breaded and fried in some factory, then heated in a microwave. It wasn't in the same class with the shrimp I can get right here in San Antonio at Sea Island, for the same price. The tartar sauce was awful--tasted like salad dressing with a little pickle relish thrown in. The ranch dressing tasted like it came from a 5 gallon jug. There was also a 2 inch piece of corn-on-the-cob. It was mushy, and had obviously been frozen. I'll give them an A+, though, on quantity--way more than I could eat. The guy next to me was eating oysters, and they looked good.

Charlotte Plummers has gone way downhill IMO. Boiling Pot is always good. Best boudin around.

The restaurant next to Cove Harbor marina is called 'Off the Hook'. It's a good place for the tired fisherman to have a brew and some Mahi Mahi or Flounder after a long day on the bays.
