“ Show up early cause this place packs quick. For a good reason a family friendly environment on the water with great service and even better food. If you are in town this is the best place to go. I only have pics of the food and not the view unfortunately. Come here only if you wanna leave more than satisfied. ”
“ Great meal, service, and views at Paradise Key! We love the chicken teryiaki, fried shrimp, and shrimp and grits on special. I’ve never had a bad cocktail, so you can’t go wrong with whichever one you order. I love the bread pudding and my dad said the key lime pie is one of the best he’s had. A must try if you’re in the Rockport area! ”
“ Delicious meal, coconut shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus is what I had in this great restaurant with a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Also shared the Brownie explosion with my family. So yummy! And to top it off we had a very kind waiter named Weston Juelg. I highly the restaurant and this awesome waiter! ”
“ Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere and service! 10 plus stars! Mariecela was our server and she was amazing! Very attentive, polite and on point. We will be going back! We had the French dip, paradise grill platter and for an appetizer we had the coco shrimp, everything was delicious! Best coconut shrimp we've ever had! And we sat outside right on the water. It was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Also, in the ladies room they have chalk boards and chalk for your entertainment lol! ”
“ This is our favorite restaurant in Rockport. Food is delicious and you wont leave hungry, they're such big portions. Last time I had the shrimp boil and it was so good!! Highly recomend. ”
“ Love love love this place. Beautiful scenery, highly recommend to stop by for sunset. All the dishes we ordered were so delicious, we had some blackened red snapper with crab and shrimp sauce over it, some Shrimps Alfredo with white chocolate sauce bread pudding for dessert. Our waitress was a sweetheart, very attentive and friendly. The wait was really long but it’s worth it at the end. ”
“ The Key Lime Pie is out of this World Delicious. I’ve had many many different key lime pies from everywhere. This actually shocked me how good it is. I would drive from Waco to just get me some more over the weekend. Also the waitress here was proactive and took care of us very well. I usually give bad reviews but this is not one. ”
“ We loved our visit here on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated promptly and our waiter arrived and made suggestions since it was our first visit. But we decided on our own.. we first ordered the chips and queso and it was actually the best I've ever had.. the cup was thin warm and crisp.. which we love. I ordered the chicken fried ribeye that was tender. Loaded mashed and green beans. I enjoyed them all.. my friend had the crawfish etoufee and he enjoyed that as well.. they are a dog friendly place.. but i don't have anymore dogs. ”
