Hey Fellers,

I realize that's a large area, but good food is good reason to travel. So where do the locals go?

Thanks!

I like Fins , Mobey Dicks or the Crazy Cajun in Port A, in rockport try the Boiling Pot. Or in Aransas Pass the Big Fisherman is pretty popular. Don't know about Corpus , I usually just stick to the island.

Snoopy's - Redfish (Cash only)
Republic of Texas - Steaks
Water Street Seafood - Overall just plain good

In Port Aransas: The Pasta Shell or Venetian Hotplate. The VH is very good, but a little pricy. Trout Street is good, but not always consistant. I've had a similar experience at Castaways.

In CC: For BBQ I like Silverados a lot. Somebody already mentioned Waterstreet. There's also Catfish Charlies. For Mexican food try La Playa.

In Rockport there's Alice Faye's for seafood and steak. That's where the locals go. For Mexican food you must go to Los Comales.

In Odem (that's about 17 miles West of CC) there's the Railroad Station. Their onion rings order looks like a cake (it's so big) and their avocado salad with crab meat will astound you. It's a great place for seafood.

I can't even remember the name of the Mexican restaurant I'm going to recommend, but its at the edge of Rockport when you're headed to Aransas Pass, on the LEFT side. It is a little place hidden (slightly) away under some big oaks, dirt parking I believe. It is one of those great places that doesn't look like much from either the outside or inside, but the folks are friendly and the food is great!

Half the time I can't remember the names of where I went, but I learn the locations and go back time after time. This is one of those places. If you speak Spanish they'll understand you perfectly; if you don't; they'll get by, and you'll get your food.

I'm starving now just thinking about it!!

I know those are lousy instructions, but if you find it, you won't regret the search.

In Port A, Pelican's Landing does a great job of cooking your catch. Best Wine selection in town.

hey look in ""on the road" part of the forum they have a hole listing of resteraunts that someone has already asked about.

Rockport - "The Boiling Pot"

san juan restaurant 410 cut off road pa #361-749-6521. good mexican food

Corpus- Pier 99 (right next to the lex)

Shrimp bonanza for two... massive amounts of shrimp.

There is (was) a small place in downtown Aransas Pass called The Welch Dragon. It's in one of the shopping centers right in DT, near the intersection of Tx35 and Tx361. It might not be there still, which is a shame as we visited there in October, 2007, which was opening weekend. It was up scale dining on the coast.

In rockport/fulton, the boiling pot is a great cajun seafood resturaunt. In aransas pass, the Big Fisherman has excellent food, and in Port Aransas Oceans of seafood is ecxellent. it is near Fishermans Wharf

Crab Inn between R'port and AP...good food, on the water
I have been to most of the place mentioned in R'ort and Fulton;
all good!!!

Lora and I have tried most of the places mentioned, our traditional stop at least one nigh is the Big fisherman.

It has changed up a lot from the first times I ate down there in the early and mid eighties.

Does anyone else remember when there were glass fronted cages with big cats and and others with different types of parrots around the walls of the big dining room?

Big Fisherman in Rockport. If you want to pick up some fresh jumbo shrimp, go to the bait store just pass the Exxon thats on the corner where you turn to go to Goose Island State Park, its on the left before you cross the bay bridge, these things are huge and fresh.

Go to The Big Fisherman. You will not be disappointed and you will go there at least once everytime you go to that area. I do and will again in Mid July.

The Big fishermen is a hot spot for car and truck breakins. Ever notice how there is not 1 window in the place where you can see the parking lot? 2 years ago on our last day of vacation we stopped there before heading home like we always did and had everything stolen but what we wore in the restaurant. Marked sheriff car 3 spots over from us did not even slow them down. Management could care less and I will never darken their door step again. As the deputy was doing his report he told me how often it happens there, its a lot to say the least. He also told me that the only camera on the property was the loading dock to catch the employees from stealing food as they had a problem with that.

Its waaaay overrated anyway. Unless you like heaps of grease with very little seafood in the middle. Only eaten there (Big Fisherman) once, so it could have been an off night. Although, I have heard from people who have frequented it that it has fallen off....

I second the boiling pot in Rockport. If you have never been definitely go.

MOby Dicks in Port A is really good. It was a lot better than I was expecting.
