Looks like they are generally open 9am-6pm daily, sometime early May through year end. Order at the counter inside their little shop, pay, and head down the little alley (hold on tightly to your stuff so you don't accidentally drop anything enroute) to their back deck with limited seating, and access to their bathrooms. Listen up for your name and they will bring you your food on a tray. A family of three shared the 3 chicken lobsters for $50 during the 2025 season, and a dozen raw oysters for $30. My single lobster was $18. Single oysters $3 apiece. Creamy clam chowder $7. Stuffed clam $3. The $30 cold lobster roll came with cole slaw and a bag of chips. The hot dog roll looked small but was well filled with fresh sweet lobster meat. Her smoked salmon $8 were two thick chunks of fish. My hot in-shell boiled lobster arrived several minutes after, pre-cracked. Carefully poured out the green water, and I went at it. Making use of the sink by the bathroom afterwards to get cleaned up. A delicious way to start our outing to Rockport! BTW parking in the nearby area is paid and seasonal. Head to the kiosk, enter the license plate, pay an affordable price, and stick the slip on your dashboard. Parking tickets are no fun.

I decided to call again on a day they were open, and I received an immediate response. I went to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we were warmly welcomed when we arrived.

There weren't too many tables occupied during our visit, so the noise level was low aside from the conversations taking place around us. It made for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. I started with the soup of the day, which I really enjoyed. I then had the Dartmouth, which included an assortment of tea sandwiches, a freshly baked scone (I chose the pineapple coconut), some desserts, and a two-cup pot of tea.

The place might be small, but it packs a punch with its warm, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with hash, and I have to say, it was nothing short of perfection. The eggs were poached beautifully - runny yolks and firm whites, just the way a proper Eggs Benedict should be. But the real star of the show was the hash. At my request, they made it extra crispy, and it was delivered exactly as I wanted - golden brown and deliciously crunchy. Every bite was a treat, and it's clear that they pay attention to detail and customer preferences. If you're a fan of hearty, well-cooked breakfasts, this place is a must-visit. read more

The next time I came I ordered The Cluck egg sandwich, which was a maple chicken sausage sandwich with pesto and smoked mozzarella cheese. The chicken sausage was delicious but the other flavors did not blend well. It was the wrong flavor combination. They should add a saltier cheese to balance the sweetness with the maple from the chicken. Anyway, my friends ordered pancakes and french toast and they loved it. I think next time I will opt for that. The coffee is kind of week so opt for a juice or tea if you like your joe strong. Mera's Tip: Have some pancakes.

I grew up in Boston and went with family to Cape Ann many times. I recently met my cousins for a…read morefew nights and we stopped by this place our hotel recommended. What a mistake. All 3 of us ordered the egg sandwich. It's cooked egg (like a puck) on 2 slices of plain bread with about 1 teaspoon of cheese that is such a small amount that it doesn't cover most of the egg. That's it. Not enough cheese, no butter, no salt, no pepper. Nothing. They don't even toast the bread. If we had tasked our 6 year old nephew to making us egg sandwiches, this is what he would hand us. My cousins had coffee. One hot and the other cold. Hot reportedly is pretty good and the iced is not very strong. I ordered an iced tea. When iced tea is made fresh from actual tea (a good thing), then sits in the fridge for 6 or 7 days (a bad thing), it gets a very distinctive stale taste and that's exactly what this iced tea had. It was old and stale. I threw it away and since the egg sandwich was so dry, I pulled a bottle of water I had in my beach tote to wash it down. My cousin asked the friendly staffer (super friendly, actually, so a shout out to them) for some salt and this turned into a task. She had to ask someone else and that person had to go off somewhere to get some from a plastic container. If you're going to serve unseasoned food, have salt available, please. I ordered a croissant, which was OK and my other cousin ordered a blueberry slab dessert that was smothered in so much icing that it was sickeningly sweet. We joked that eying it from the side, the icing was thicker than the pastry itself. One of us grabbed a knife and tried to scrape some off to no avail. It fell apart, none of us wanted any more and we tossed most of it. I like to support small businesses, but this was not a good experience for us.
