A nice place to sit down in the middle of Bearskin Neck and watch Rockport walk by. Has street seating and a few tables on the side. Decent lobster rolls. I wouldn’t necessarily rush back here to have the rolls again over other places in town but they were not bad.

★★★★★ 5.0 Gennario Veltaine · Aug 2025

Wasn't in the mood for lobster and this place had the fix! The tuna salad sandwich was very filling and quite large, I wasn't asked what I wanted on it but wish I asked for onion as well. The salad was a bit bland but this was surprisingly preferred, because the fries were certainly the star of the show. They state they have the best fries in town and while I haven't tried the others, they certainly set the bar high. The price is set accordingly to the location but it was good. The service was great as well, the one that helped was extremely kind and ensured each customer got what they needed. I'll be back if I'm in the area again!

Cute little bistro located downtown on the way to the pier! Their fish and chips was to die for!!! Also enjoyed their lobster roll!!! It was the perfect meal to the end of a race day! :)

Went there for a chowder after our lunch. Housed in a pretty and cute building. The lady at the quick service window was nice and courteous. Reasonable pricing as you can see in the menu. Ordered a bowl of chowder. Order arrived in lightning speed. The chowder was good but not great. A little on the watery side. Taste was good. Small seating area. It wasn’t busy when we were there just after the lunch crowd. Overall a good experience. Definitely recommended

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Alireza Garmabi · Sep 2025

“NOT YOUR ORDINARY BISTRO” Oh, definitely not. At least the name is accurate. I mean, the reviews already say it all: 4.3 stars out of ~100 reviews. Not exactly the kind of place I’d normally choose. So how did I end up here? We actually picked Roy Moore, the spot right in front — better reviews, better vibe. Unfortunately, the passage to their back deck is so narrow that you can’t get through with a stroller. Since our infant was asleep, their staff kindly suggested we use the tables out front. Made sense to me. What I didn’t realize is that there’s apparently a long-standing feud between these two eateries. I thought maybe they were like friendly neighbors, casually sharing space now and then. Nope. So there we are, halfway through our sandwiches, when a gentleman comes by and polite
