    Lobster roll
    Rozet S.

    Wow, amazing lobster rolls! This was our first stop upon visiting Rockport and we weren't disappointed. We came around 4:30 and it wasn't too busy yet, they had plenty of seating available in the back. The lobster rolls and chips were amazing - one of the best I've had! It started getting busy right when we were leaving. Come early if you want to grab a seat in the back!

    Our perfect lobster roll, cooked to perfection, on a nice toasted roll sits next to 3 ample sized lobsters. Yum!!

    This may be the best lobster roll I've ever had and the lobsters my friend had were also delicious. With shaded tables in the back, it was a very nice lunch.

    Classic lobster rolls with a beautiful view of Rockport Harbor. Delicious and tasty. Try the homemade chowder too! We went on the weekend, there was a line but it didn't take long to get thru it. Definitely worth it.

    Roy Moore Lobster is a very popular seafood spot in Bearskin Neck, Rockport! 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!

    A+ lobster rolls!!

    I have eaten a lot of lobster rolls throughout Massachusetts and Maine, these were some of the best I've ever had. Absolutely packed with sweet, fresh meat and very lightly dressed. A+ lobster roll in my book, simply can't get better.

    The assortment  of drinks

    This is the literal definition of a mom and pop owned restaurant the menu is very simple lobster rolls, clams, baked clams ,clam chowder and a couple of other items ,its literally a tiny shack with the main floor for ordering. And tanks filled with live lobster. It was a spot run by and old man and a bunch of happy go lucky boys. They have about 6 tables set up in the back ,picnic style that you get to by walking along this narrow walkway between the two establishments. We ordered 2 lobster rolls one hot and one cold and had their side of kettle cooked potato chips that come with the order. The chips amazing a local brand as well as some bottled local lemonade also very good. They offer local beer hard ales hard lemonades and even an assortment of soft drinks and wines . The warm buttered lobster roll was good not the best I've ever had but good. Both rolls generous with the lobster.The cold one was literally just cold lobster on a roll. Im used to it having some tangy dressing type flavor. But this did not. So why am I give this place such a generous amount of stars. The order came fast they're dog friendly they allowed them in the seating areas and even gave both my dogs some salmon. the staff were so warm and inviting. They made you feel as if they knew you for years. I would definitely stop in again to try everything else but the cold lobster roll.

    Seating
    Hannah L.

    One of the best lobster spots in Massachusetts. Super fresh and very affordable! 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.

    Alley walkway to back deck

    Great spot for fresh seafood in Bearskin Neck! You order at the front window and then make your way down a little alley out onto their back deck with picnic tables. There is also a bathroom connected to the deck which is a bit hidden (if you can't find it, ask the staff who were super friendly!). Once seated at a table, the staff will bring your order to you. Oysters were well sized - where they came from wasn't listed on the menu/signage, which I would've like to see. The stuffed clams were solid but felt like there could be a bit more clams in them personally.

    1 1/2 lb lobster, chowder, fishcake, baked clam, and 2 oysters
    Anita L.

    Jumped in line to check out Roy Moore- it was pretty long line at 12:30p on a Sunday, but it took maybe 20-30 minutes before we got to the front to order. I ordered the boiled lobster (1.5-1.75 lb), one fish cake, one baked clam, clam chowder, and two oysters. I love that a lot is per piece here so you get to try a lot without committing! The service is great- the staff are super friendly. There's also drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic, for purchase. You can opt to eat in the back patio, get it to-go, or "walking to-go", so you can eat as you walk down Bear Neck Skin. We opted for the patio, and it's a bit stressful. There's not too many tables, so I felt like I had to camp out for a spot. There's also a small section where you can stand and eat. They'll come out and bring your food to your table (but if you don't have one yet then you're holding the tray until you do). Everything came out piping hot- the fish cake and clam bake were interesting but the star was definitely the lobster. I enjoyed the clam chowder- definitely on the thicker side. There really isn't anything available for non seafood eaters (not even French fries since the lobster rolls come with a bag of chips), but there is a restaurant across the street that has hot dogs.

    I so wanted to gatekeep this place... but they absolutely deserve the love. The price is unbeatable, the seafood is fresh and delicious, and they keep it simple--minimal cooking, maximum flavor. Everything just tastes like the ocean in the best way. Pair it with a cold beer and you're in heaven. The patio seating has a chill, coastal vibe, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing fancy, just perfection in the purest New England seafood shack form.

    Lobster roll of course! And we also tried the clam chowder which was delicious
    Rita B.

    Delicious food at a fair price. The back deck was busy but we were able to get a seat. It was a Sunday at lunchtime so it was not surprising that it was busy. It was also the first really beautiful day in awhile so everyone was out and about. I was glad that I chose this place for lunch on my first trip to Rockport. Staff was very friendly and helpful

    3 lb lobster!
    Cassie H.

    Roy Moore Lobster Company absolutely deserves the highest praise! Watching the fishermen bring in fresh lobster right from the ocean and then having it cooked on the spot was one of the coolest dining experiences we've ever had. Our 3-pound lobster was perfection--sweet, tender, and bursting with flavor. The shrimp and baked clams were just as incredible, cooked simply and beautifully to let the freshness shine. The staff made the whole experience even better--they were extremely friendly, welcoming, and entertaining, adding so much personality and fun to the meal. From start to finish, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere unforgettable. If you're in Rockport, this is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers. You won't find an experience--or lobster--like this anywhere else!

    Boiled lobster, lobster roll, stuffed clam, clam chowder
    Hussain L.

    Excellent service, the host was very kind and let us know about the little hidden gem behind the restaurant! Boiled lobster was amazing, just a little hard to open despite being cracked. Clam chowder was unexpectedly delicious and warm! Do not recommend the stuffed clam, don't be fooled. I have had a better lobster roll but it was still decent. The main reasons for the five star here is the excellent service, nice outdoor patio views, and the hard-boiled lobster and clam chowder.

    Is the lobster boiled alive or already dead when it goes into the pot?

    It comes right off the Boat and I want to say in the Pot after that....that's a great Question to ask

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes, there is outdoor seating in the back.

    Do you guys ship lobsters and oysters out of state?

    Prior to moving here from IL, I asked many times. It may have changed, but they wouldn't do it. They are very serious about quality and that was the reasoning. I get it, and it would never taste the same. It's really best enjoyed on the back deck… 

    Are you guys open this weekend (May 18th)?

    Yes we will be!

    The restaurant is openning this season?

    They are open off season

Lazy Lobster Casserole: 4oz of lobster meat, baked with butter and breadcrumbs, quite satisfying. The lobster meat was firm and delicious, the butter was fragrant, but the breadcrumbs were too burnt, and the seasoning was a bit too salty. Fried Calamari: Just average fried calamari, too much batter. We should have ordered fried scallops, but my dad wanted calamari... Baked Potato: Another average baked potato. We discovered they served it with butter afterward Coleslaw: Not very good. The sweetness was generally right, but it lacked a clear, bright flavor. Side Salad: Sweet and sour, very refreshing!

Not even fifteen minutes later, the space filled up with people asking for window tables. Street parking right outside was easy since it was a weekday pre-lunch rush, but I wouldn't bet on it during busier times. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder to share, the fried haddock basket with a side of slaw, and the fish tacos with a side of fries. The one unfortunate thing was that our fries had a strand of hair embedded inside, but they were able to replace it for us. Otherwise a pretty decent meal to start off our day strolling around the neighborhood.

The tuna tartare was average. When the bill came, the tuna tartare was charged as $27 and not $25 as listed on their menus. The manager told me there must've been a price change and that was it. It was a bit disappointing since it felt like false advertising, I would've preferred a transparent heads up as I was ordering my meal.
