Breakfast Places in Rockport

Rockport is rebuilding after Hurricane Harvey.  Hopefully, my favorite breakfast haunts will reopen soon.  Here are some of them:

JJ's Little Bay Cafe


Like sausage in my biscuit gravy.  JJ's is a neat little mom-n-pop cafe in Rockport Texas with great home cooked breakfasts.  Rockport is a nice little coastal resort town and a great place to dine out for breakfast.  I will be back to Rockport for the food.



To get here, just take TX-35 north from Corpus Christi.  Then select the Business 35 exit when you get to Rockport.  JJ's is just before you get to the coast.  And no, I did not try the pies yet.  JJ's pies are on my bucket list.


Brisket Omelet:


This is their brisket omelet with melted jack, sour cream, peppers-n-onions.  Really good stuff.  The potatoes were crisp.  This is a good breakfast combo.



Jalisco Restaurant


Oh yeah!  And this is not their big burrito!  Look at all of that cheese!  Don't tell my internist that this is what I ordered.



Tx-35 takes you to Rockport.  Cut off to Business 35 and ride on the main street of Rockport until you find Jalisco.  It's on the opposite side as the Gulf.


Beef Fajita Burrito:


This is hog heaven for me, and this is the mid-size burrito.  They make a larger one.  This was custom made for me: beef fajitas stuffed into a burrito and covered with chili con carne and cheese.  Look how much cheese!

Sausage Omelet:


Here's another omelet, sausage, mushroom, and white cheese.  This place has great choices when it comes to omelets.




Rockport Donuts



Rockport Donuts makes great pastries and breakfast sandwiches.  Above is a tray of fritters with cherry on the left and apple on the right.  They use real chunks of fruit in their fritters, and not many bakeries do that anymore.


We found the place on one trip from the camp we rented to town.  Take TX-35 north from Corpus Christi.  When you get to Rockport, just head downtown on Liberty Street where you'll find Rockport Donuts just before getting to the coast.


Breakfast Sandwiches!


This is why I come to Rockport Donuts, not for the pastries, but for the breakfast sandwiches, though the pastries will hold their own.  If you have children or grandchildren, you'll want to get their pastries as well.


Pigs-in-a-Blanket:


They make both small and large pigs-in-a-blanket.  Never had the small ones.  These are great anytime of the day to fill a belly.  Take a mess of them fishing with you.


Please, return to Rockport-Folton after it rebuilds and support these restaurants.  Hopefully, they will be up and running this spring or summer at the latest.
