Cold Beer, excellent food, great ambience and right across from the water. It's worth every penny. My Son and I had the Super size bpiling pot with some beers and paid $115 with tax and tip. The flavor is great as are the portions. We'll be going back.

It was wonderful! First time customers- Caring and attentive staff. The food was delicious!!! We LOVE Rockport! Thank you for a fantastic meal. Excellent crawfish, shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage and the oysters on the half shell were tasty to the group. I loved the shrimp from the pot but the red beans and rice were good too! Celebrating our Anniversary was a memorable moment � �

Hubby loves shrimp boil and we’d seen this place while at oyster fest! Went to try it out Tuesday evening and he said it was the best he’d ever had!!! A definite place we will be back to again!!!

We absolutely love the boiling pot! We’ll make the hour and a half drive just to go eat there! It’s definitely the place to eat when you’re in Rockport!

Ate with our family Saturday night-Kids loved it so much they begged to go back for Sunday lunch. 2 Cajun Combos fed the 4 of us easily & the Key lime tarts are ridiculous good. Great interactive meal with the family. Can’t wait to come back. Fantastic, friendly staff.

Glad to see them open again after Hurricane Harvey. Ordered dozen oysters. Very good, flavor was on the better side that I’ve had in awhile. Also ordered gumbo, spiced just right. And finally ordered the $20 for two people boil. None was left when we got done.

Very friendly staff, delicious but limited menu. Diners are encouraged to draw on butcher paper & staff will hang your art on the wall. Fresh, tasty oysters. You may bring your own liquor.

Awesome place, definitely visit early. Staff is amazing and helpful if you've never experienced something like this restaurant. For 2ppl order 2 of the Cajun combos 1 regular 1 spicy with lemon, you won't regret it.

What an experience! The place is quirky with Cajun music playing. The atmosphere was great and lively. We had a great time. Food was delish! My kids had fun and enjoyed their meal. The scissors and mallots made eating the crab legs and shrimp sooooo much easier! The staff was great and hardworking. You won't be disappointed! Makes for a fun night out with friends and/or family.

Went in for a late lunch early dinner and had a great time. The servers were really friendly and attentive. Only bottle or canned beverages no cocktails available. And they don't have a big selection other than the seafood boil. But if that's what your looking for like we were you will not be disappointed. Both indoor and outdoor seating and the wait was not too long to get served.

The oysters were extremely fresh. Loved the boil. Order it with extra spice otherwise it might be too bland (if you like flavor). I added an extra pound of shrimp. Took a while to take our drink order. Server was really friendly though.

This was my second time here and just like the first, it was great. The wait outside didn’t take too long, we just waited 5 minutes! We ordered the biggest platter they had and it took around 30 minutes, but understandable since it was a big batch. Our hostess was very nice and accommodating of our needs, they provided us with all the tools we needed for our seafood digging! Great atmosphere and great tasting food! Parking was easy enough and the bathrooms were clean and stocked.

I had an outstanding experience at this seafood restaurant! The ambiance was delightful, the service was impeccable, and the food arrived promptly. We visited on a Sunday, and we were seated without any wait. A perfect place for seafood lovers. 5 stars!

This place has an amazing atmosphere, and it’s so fun to sit and color on the butcher paper while you wait for your food. The food itself had a wonderful flavor and the crab and shrimp weren’t dry at all. Please note that the shrimp are whole, including the head and feet, so you will need to peel, and devein the shrimp yourself. Our service was not good, as we waited an hour for our food, and had to repeatedly find our server and ask for refills. We spent $150, not including tip, to feed 5 people. We weren’t full when we left. But we were satisfied. The food was so good and overall I would definitely come back for the flavor alone! Definitely worth 4 stars ⭐️

Because of my daughter's obsession with crab, we have tried crabs from Indiana to New Orleans! I have to say this was the best snowcrab legs I have ever had! That boil blend was fantastic, Suttle yet flavorful! We loved it!

An absolute must for crab/shrimp/crawfish lovers… get it spicy… not too hot, just right. Boudin was great… oysters were off the charts fresh and perfect. Limited menu but if you like this kind of food you have to try it!

This was my first seafood place in Rockport. I don't see a reason to go anyplace else. Couldn't ask for a better dinner. Food was more than I could ask for. Quality Was excellent. Customer service. What's friendly and courteous. Don't waste your time going anywhere else in town.....

My Boiling Pot experience was very positive. The tables are covered in paper and you're provided with crayons to help ease the wait of your taste buds. There is a very extensive drink menu, plenty of different combos of the main course, and a kids menu. There is only 1 dessert, a Key Lime Tart. When the food arrives, everyone is provided with a bib (upon request), mallets and scissors to help work through the crab shells. The food was crabulous! Our cups were never empty thanks to our wonderful waitress. Can't wait to come back next year!

I'm from Wimberley, Texas and I was staying in Fulton with my partner to get a sunrise shot before heading off to South Padre. We were staying at the Inn and decided to walk to this restaurant a few blocks away. It was closed so we went over to the Boiling Pot and I'm glad we did. What a great festive place. My friend is visiting from Chicago and was blown away by the place. They laid paper all over the top of the table and then dumped our food on the paper. She thought that was amazing. Also, they bring Crayola's to the table so people can write there name on the wall. The food was just as amazing as the place. Don't know when I'll be back this way but I will for sure eat at the Boiling Pot
