Rob Rae I recently tried the food truck and was incredibly impressed by their shrimp po boy. The shrimp was noticeably fresh and fried to a perfect golden crisp. The bun was a delightful contrast – wonderfully soft on the inside with just the right amount of crunch and chew on the outside. Beyond the delicious food, the service was fast and friendly, making for a great overall experience. Im already looking forward to my next visit!

Taylor Dickerson Great food and service!

Sarah Belzer We ordered catering with Stevie Lews for our wedding yesterday and we couldnt have been happier! Ever since the very beginning, Stevie Lews food is consistently delicious and their customer service is above and beyond. Everyone is so kind and friendly and we are so pleased with how everything went well. We have eaten in restaurant to taste the food beforehand and that experience was also more than delightful. They are so generous and we are blessed we got to have them for our wedding. Attached is the sampler they prepared for us when choosing our menu. We recommend them every day!!

C C My husband and I love the food. The steaks and the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin are delicious! Two things that we enjoyed on our last visit were the Miami Vice cocktails and the Apple Martinis. We finished our meal sharing a key lime pie that was delicious and absolutely beautiful!

melisa ramon Saw the Google reviews and was not disappointed. Sat down immediately. Everything we had was good. Only got a pic of the Big Mark, but fish, shrimp and aransas club were all great.

Sherrie Virdell A go to favorite for a nice dinner. We’ve been coming here for years when we visit the area, and it’s always good. We love the quail and shrimp tempura appetizers. I usually get the Shrimp Linguine and husband usually gets the fish special. Call for reservations recommended, but I see others being seated without. Service is good!

Bailey Miller 10/10 would recommend. We visited Rockport for the first time for my husbands birthday / our baby-moon and we were excited to have great food throughout our stay... but were a little disappointed with a few of our first choices. That was until we started asking locals where the best food in town was. Several people pointed us to Copanos and it did not disappoint. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer, which were a great portion size and so good. My husband got a glass of cabernet, and their wine prices were super reasonable. Then for main courses, I got their 7 oz Filet which was cooked perfectly - tender and juicy. And My husband got their scallops, which he said were melt-in-your-mouth perfection. We finished off with their seasonal dessert of a MASSIVE chocolate brownie topped with ice cream... and when I tell you it was the best brownie weve ever had I am not exaggerating. Our server, Arianna, was some of the best service we have had in a long time. She explained all the specials, was prompt and personable (despite being triple sat) and checked on us at all the right times. Some people are just GREAT at serving, and it makes the whole experience - Arianna is one of them. We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends.

Analisa Trujillo My husband and I Went on a Friday night around 8, so we weren’t expecting anything great or even fresh food. Our waitress was very sweet (didn’t get her name) but she recommended the Shiner holiday beer which was delicious! I ordered Pagona fish and chips and chose a side salad as a side. I mean it when I say this, it was the BEST fish and chips I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been to San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Warf -My husband got mahi mahi fish tacos and those were delicious as well. We sat outside on the dock, it was mostly empty. It was such a relaxing atmosphere. It’s our first time here in Rockport and I wish I could go back everyday to enjoy this food again.

Raquel Moreno So much to choose from! Candy by the lb, fudge, chocolates, icecream, some old fashioned treats. I went in for chocolates, but changed my mind due to a single truffle pc being $4.99, but they did look good. I opted for a single scoop cup of ice cream. And a c candy treat instead. Definitely busy in the evening hours for this small location, but there is ample seating and the lines moved quickly, the staff is very pleasant and helpful. Cute little candy shop. I enjoyed it

Jeanette Read the reviews for Papos and at first decided not to come here but ended up here because of Marker 12 reviews not realizing it wasnt Marker 12. Im so glad it took us to Papos! People skip over the negative reviews(To many negative Nancys out there!!) Every staff encountered were so nice and even the owner checked in on us. Granite, yes the menu is Currently limited but its delicious!! (See photos) it tasted fresh to us! I swear we waited less than 10 minutes. We are already planning to come back next month. We live 2 hours away or wed make this our weekend hangout place. Dont skip this place, give them a chance. (No I dont know anyone that works here. This is a sincere review.)

Christopher Cueva It was very good, and the sandwiches were nice. The staff was very nice. I liked the drive thru, but some people didnt realize where the entrance was despite the red arrows on the driveway. Be prepared for people pulling in the wrong way.

Dan Z Bellinos was a really pleasant surprise! The staff was all super sweet and accommodating - even though we arrived at peak time on a Saturday night without a reservation... They quickly figured out a table for us and service was non-stop great food. We got the mini-meatballs as an appetizer (they are spicy), my wife got the Pollo Parmegianna and I got the crispy salmon salad, hey it had been a long time since Id had salmon without that peculiar "tanginess" and it was cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity youll get, and the low-light atmosphere bring you to a nice set. Theres no need to over think it, just go there and enjoy!

Tamara Barnett Short version ! After visiting the area this weekend, we decided to grab a quick bite before driving home. Gabrielas had good reviews and served seafood, which we love. The fish tacos were GREAT! -prepared by chef Alex. On the way out of Gabrielas I noticed "we will cook your fresh catch" (something along those lines) After catching Reds today, we wanted to put this service to the test. We called and asked what was the process to have our fish brought in and cooked, yet, we didnt want to dine in. The host then connected us with to Chef Adam (who is not only an amazing chef, but a nice, down to earth guy) We provided the fish and foil pan and in return received the best meal! We have guest coming to visit next month and we are doing a repeat! Highly recommend .

Nikki Null Wonderful seafood at a great price! The coconut shrimp are huge and the plate has 8 of them on it with two sides. The coleslaw was great, has some pineapple in it that gives it a really sweet taste. The seasoned french fries are so good. The salad is great with their blue cheese dressing. Baked potato was perfect. The sweet tea is perfectly sweetened. I cant say enough good things about this restaurant. Were staying in Port Aransas but we drive to Rockport just to eat here. Wait staff is super friendly and the guy that waited on us was nice looking. I may be old enough to be his Mom, lol, but thats okay, hes really good looking! If youre anywhere near Rockport go eat there. For the price, youll be glad you did!! Burgers, chicken fried steak, everything looked good!!
