I have become a Little Sister stan this summer. This place is just awesome…read more I am a vegetarian, and have a lot of trouble finding food to eat in Rockport (it's alllllll seafood!). Little Sister not only has a veggie burger, but it is honestly one of the best ones I have EVER had (and trust me, I've had a lot). Their service is great, and the food comes out nice and quick. There is plenty of seating on a first-come basis, or you can take your burger to go and enjoy the beautiful views, because they wrap it SUPER nicely in a special wrapper that catches all of the sauces and bits that you might lose along the way. I'll be a fan of this place forever! Go check it out!

While seating is limited inside, there's plenty of sitting outside along with views for days of the shoreline! Our kiddo loved watching how the food was made while sitting at the counter. Having a gluten allergy has kept me from eating fried chicken sandwiches, onion rings, and fried fish. Here, all the batter is gluten free, so I got to partake in total gluten free fried food joy! The GF bun for the Larry Bird was so good! I love how light and crispy the batter was, and I didn't feel heavy after eating it. Solid coleslaw and pickles to give that nice texture and lightness to the fried chicken sandwich. I could have eaten these onion rings all day and not realized it. The batter is very simple, but it is GF and sticks so well to the onion rings! Crunchy, light, perfectly seasoned and crave worthy! The real star was the fish and chips. I haven't been able to have good fish and chips for over 2 decades because of my allergy, but l could have it here, and my goodness was it good. Perfectly cooked, light, crunchy, tender fish. Simple tartar sauce, solid fries, and just such a delicious dish. Huge pieces of fish that kept us all full for hours. Cannot rave about it enough! While the fries were solid, I would suggest the waffle fries and onion rings for sure! Add great service and a super friendly staff, and Little Sister is a great place to go to in Rockport! Stop on by and enjoy!

My boyfriend and I return to Rockport throughout the year to visit since it means so much to us and this cafe is a must go stop every time. They offer a variety of things from coffee, to lattes, to soup, to refreshing teas. I don't think we've ever had a disappointing visit here. We mostly love coming in the summer due to the fact that their seating area is right above the water and gives you an amazing view. Listen, a cup of soup and a latte while looking out at the water changes something in your soul. I will never not love going to rockport and getting something from Bean and Leaf.

Roy Moore Lobster

One of the best lobster spots in Massachusetts. Super fresh and very affordable!…read more Ambiance: Outdoor seating with seven picnic-style tables and a small standing area. I even saw someone unloading crates of fresh lobsters, which was fun to watch. The only downside is the walkway to the seating is VERY narrow. Service was quick and efficient. Clam Chowder: Thick, creamy base with lots of flavor. There were plenty of potatoes but not a ton of clams. Still, the creaminess paired really well with the lobster. Lobster: Exceptionally fresh with a slight natural sweetness. Dipping it in melted butter made it even better. I also appreciated that they pre-cracked it, which made it so much easier to eat. Lobster Roll: Loved the buttery bread it was served on. The mayo was light but flavorful, and the sides included coleslaw and potato chips.

Roy Moore Lobster is a very popular seafood spot in Bearskin Neck, Rockport!…read more It's finally lobsta season & I'm glad we got to stop by. The line is a little long but does move quick. They have tables in the back & to get there, you have to walk through this tiny alley way. Note: not many tables available. Be prepared to possibly share a table with others! Here's what we ordered from our visit: - boiled lobsters 1 1/4 lb (2)-- $18/ea - clam chowder (4)-- $7/ea - smoked salmon --$8 - hot lobster roll-- $32 - stuffed clam (2)--$3/ea - Coca Cola We decided to get the 1lb1/4 boiled lobsters. It was $18/each and we got two of them. Looking back, we probably should've just gotten the 3/$50 deal but it's okay. This comes with melted butter on the side. Lobsters were fresh & easy to eat. No complaints here. My favorite was the clam chowder! It had the perfect consistency, not runny & not too thick. It was also pretty flavorful! The only thing I would've liked to add is a little salt but other than that, very good. I'm a lover of New England Clam Chowder & this was exactly what I was looking for! Now, as for the smoked salmon, I would not order this again. I don't really know how to feel about this to be honest but it just was not my cup of tea. I like baked salmon, broiled salmon, and fried salmon, but I did not like this. Very dry & bland. I personally had the hot lobster roll, which was sautéed in butter. Not bad overall. It was not the best hot lobster roll I've had but it was serviceable. I didn't expect it to be so tiny haha. Seems like lobster rolls in general have shrunk. For the price & the size, it's not bad. I've had $50 lobster rolls that were the same size and less enjoyable, so I guess I can consider this one a win! I think next time, I will opt for a boiled lobster instead. Lastly, the stuffed clams were all right. They were okay; more stuffing than clams. The food also wasn't very hot, just warm cold. Overall, not a bad spot to hit up for some fresh seafood. Prices aren't too bad & the food is definitely fresh!

Couple that with the beautiful fresh tomato that tasted so earthy and rich, with the saltiness of the capers... it was an absolutely unreal sandwich.

We dined this past weekend, and the crush of tourists were gone, and had no problem choosing a table of our choice on the patio. Service here is super friendly and efficient. While there are no "lunch" specials, there are a variety of lighter offerings and sandwiches to try. I had a chicken and brie sandwich, served on a baguette. This was quite good, but nothing exceptional. Cocktails can be a work of art and are very good. I think no matter what you try, it all tastes better when served in such a beautiful atmosphere. This was our second visit, and may be our favorite in Rockport.
