Stopped in today for some BBQ. First time eating here. It was fantastic! I had the pork ribs. My husband had pork ribs and brisket. The sides were really good. Good choices. We will eat here often.

We have been in Texas for the last two weeks and stopped in Rockport for a couple nights. We haven't had any bbq yet on this trip so we decided to find some. We stumbled across Macs BBQ Pit in Rockport. What a find, I had a Poor Boy sandwich and my wife has the Beef Ribs. The food was excellent, great portions for what we paid. The side dishes were great as well. the staff was friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. Highly recomend and will go there again if we are in the area again.

This place has the best BBQ we've had in Texas since beginning our stay in January. We each ordered the 2 meat plate ($16.95), and got the best smoked turkey and brisket! Each was tender and juicy with just the right amount of smoke. The 2 sides were incredible. The potato salad was cold, fresh and creamy, just the way we like it. Hubby got the carrot salad (crispy and delicious) and I opted for the pinto beans which were much better than I had expected, with a hint of smoke and well seasoned. Served with 2 slices of wheat or white bread ( I personally would have liked a crusty dinner roll better) but dinner was phenomenal. They even offered free Pepsi refills. We had enough meat for left over sandwiches the next day! The service was efficient and friendly, from the moment we were welcomed into the restaurant. We were ok with it being counter service as we could actually see the meats and many side dishes to choose from before ordering. Overall a great dining experience. The food was superior. We will be returning for more!

Absolute breath of fresh air!! So inviting! Upon walking in we were greeted with smiles and jokes! We ordered two brisket plates, one with Macaroni and potatoes. The other potato salad and beans. We both ate our entire plates! The tea is delicious! 10 out of 10 recommend! We found a new favorite place in Rockport!

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant does not allow pets. The Pork ribs and brisket was very dry. The Mac and Cheese was decent.
