The Boiling Pot

On our way north on TX 35 north of Corpus Christie we found The Boiling Pot. Great low country boil. For Veterans they add a pound of shrimp to your order. Definitely an awesome spot.

This place has great food, great employees and an awesome atmosphere. We were seated promptly and our waitress was Sam. Sam was an awesome waitress very professional and polite. She was a great communicator and was able to answer all questions without a hesitation, she constantly checked on us with great motivation. Will definitely come back with service like that. Thanks Sam! Mission complete.

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.

I’ve eaten here numerous times and have enjoyed it everytime except maybe once. We have ordered the shrimp twice and both times it was gooey and mushy. My niece had gotten sick after but that was only one experience besides that the other food is amazing I always get extra spice. They have a really good atmosphere for the type of food and the service has always been top notch. Food is a little pricey buts it’s not freezer burnt burgers from McDonald’s so you definitely get what you pay for.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Very good price. The service was impeccable. Would definitely recommend and come back.

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!

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!

The food was amazing. Such a great atmosphere. Literally only 2 blocks from the beach. No liquor but a great beer selection

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.

Best boil I've had. We added crab and shrimp. Oysters were excellent.

Great food crazy atmosphere everyone smashing crabs with wooden mallets! Wonderful! Loud and a bit crazy! Loved it!
Someone immediately puts a plastic bib in you as soon as you are seated.
The food was awesome and absolutely delicious

What a fun experience!! All the food was great! The wooden mallets made things easy and the roll of paper towels at the table is key! I didn't expect them to just dump the boil on the table, but I loved it! Makes it easier to eat when your not worried about getting stuff all over the table. Can't wait to try it again!

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!

My husband and I are on vacation, live in Austin. This place was recommended to us by my brother who had been to Rockport the week before. Everything was GREAT! We both got the Cajun Combo, his was spicy and my was normal. It was delicious!! The amount of food and the quality was exceptional. The staff was very attentive and super nice. Good atmosphere too. We definitely enjoyed our 1st taste of Rockport!

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!

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
