This place was a pleasant surprise. Very cozy friendly place. The salsa and biscuits were very tasty and homemade. The waitresses and owner were very friendly. There is seating inside and a nice enclosed area for seating outside. For 2 of us for breakfast it was $24. I did have added stuff to my food which probably added a couple dollars.

Best crab cake I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many all over the country. It was almost enough for 2 servings. Homemade with great seasoning. Hot tator tots and fries. Place was packed for lunch, but we were patient. Worth it. Service was efficient. Quirky little place with lots of hometown character. Thanks to the staff for working so hard during a very busy lunch hour. If you can wait until after 1pm, it was almost empty.

We saw this place featured on Texas Bucket List tv show and put it on our own list. While in Rockport over the weekend we had dinner here on a Friday night. Wow sums it up.

Their seasoning the put on the Flounder is fantastic and I think their burgers are the best in town.

Shempy’s seems to be loved by the locals and the visitors alike. We enjoyed the dinner because of the great tasting seafood. My hubby had the shrimp and oysters, and I had the blackened flounder with grilled vegetables. Great portions and flavor. We were disappointed that they were out of Key Lime pie but we will be back! The service was friendly.

The food was great, like yum. The portobello mushroom strips appetizer was delicious, I’d come back for those alone. We decided to split the seafood platter between 2 of us. It’s a lot of food and tasty. The fried fish and shrimp are good and that crabby patty was wonderful.

You always hear about hole in the wall establishments having the best food. I can honestly say that is true and Shempy’s made me a believer.

Eat Local! That was my goal when coming to Rockport. Shempy’s did not disappoint. The service was great! The food was delicious, fresh tasting. Don’t stop here if you want a nice looking restaurant. This is a “hole in the wall” and you may think that the restaurant matches the food, but NO! Amazing seafood, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and crab cakes, with homemade sauce! The food is pricey, but worth it!
