Amazing mom & pop; located in a picture perfect town called Rockport. Food is delicious and the staff was marvelous. Felt like being invited to the locals hangout.smile on everyones face as they devoured their plates. Option of potatoes as well hash or traditional home fries both delish. read more

Ok, you want the best breakfast of Cape Ann??? Quit looking for those lobster rolls and go for this!! It's a special so it may not always be on the list, but the whole place was fantastic! Quaint atmosphere of an old style diner, and very friendly staff. read more

Delisi’s Red Skiff - Lobster Benedict (Special) - Seafood Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

I didn't order any major, just a bacon and egg sandwich on an English muffin with cheddar (cuz American is fake, haha!). Service was swift and pleasant, prices were reasonable. read more

Good breakfast, nice staff. Food came out fast and piping hot. Small inside, but very cozy.

Breakfast all day here. Good selection of your favorite American egg dishes for breakfast. Quick and pleasant service. In a nice day, we could sit outside to enjoy the beach town atmosphere, but it was a bit too hot to sit outside comfortably so we decided to sit inside. A bit cramped but any dining venues in Rockport is like that. My omelette was perfect. No too dry or too wet. Good mix ratio of chorizo to the sautéed veggies. Good robust ice coffee to start my old and slow engine! We will be back again to have breakfast here. read more

My favorite meal of the day has always been breakfast! Had a recent girls weekend away to Salem, Airbnb was in Rockport. This place was in a great location on the main road within a short walk of the Airbnb. I had researched great Yelp choices for restaurants and tagged this as a gotta visit! Glad my friends spotted it and said let's go! Adorable, friendly, welcoming, local place (could tell by staff interactions with customers they knew each other well). Sat right at the counter facing the kitchen and watched these amazing gifted chefs at work. Had to have that gorgeous mouthwatering blueberry muffin!! Yummy! Split it with my buddy. If you have a sweet tooth, love cinnamon rolls, pancakes and pumpkin (hint of) get the cinnamon swirl pumpkin pancake!! Server said "psssst, don't add on syrup"; I was skeptical but she was soooooo right!! Scores up there as the best sweet breakfast I've ever had. I got boring after that-over easy eggs, toast, corned beef hash. Ooooh that hash though!! Honestly though by the amount of them coming out of the kitchen, their Bennies must be phenomenal. I really wanted one but lactose intolerance limits me (grrrr!) So, have one for me and let me know how incredible it is!!! read more

Love this place! Al makes the muffins & biscuits fresh everyday. My go tos are cinnamon swirl pancakes, (they're so yummy) & nonno's garden which is loaded with fresh veggies, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Being able to dine outside in the summer is an added bonus. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and attentive and the food is delicious! read more

Perfect little diner with delicious fare (especially at breakfast), delightful service, reasonable pricing, and comfortable environment. Go. You'll love its welcomed simplicity and, I promise, want to return. read more

Food was good, but the service wasn't.... Waited 45 minutes while the cook and waitresses talked and joked

I came here with a friend for breakfast and it was not only cute and cozy but also delicious. I got the eggs Benedict and it was done so well. It was so much I could have shared! I highly recommend getting the blueberry muffin and have it grilled and buttered. It was to die for! I wouldn't recommend sharing the muffin because you will want the whole thing. It's probably a good thing I was just visited because I would eat those any day every day! It didn't have bathrooms which isn't an issue since there was a public restroom around the corner. The service was great, the waitress always made sure our drinks were topped off and was very nice. read more

Breakfast was great. I had a breakfast burrito w/ bacon and still warm from oven blueberry muffin that was to die for. I tried a bite of the pumpkin pancake it was good very sweet. The service was great they worked with my vegan friend's diet. The atmosphere was great small town breakfast place, where you can mingle with the locals and visitors from all over. Must try this place. read more

Food and service was great! Be sure to check their hours before going. We went again on Tuesday and they were closed.

Love this place!! Had the lobster Benedict and it was so delicious and had a generous portion of fresh lobster. Potatoes were great too. We are from PA but have been going to Rockport for over 30 years and we always stop by this place for a breakfast or 2. read more

I want to love this place considering it's a wonderful family owned business and I live 5-minute walk, but the reason I go for breakfast is for home fries and theirs are the absolute worst. They're frozen cubes dropped in the deep fryer with absolutely no flavor. Completely disappointing. I'll stick to Mom's kitchen in Gloucester where they're fresh potatoes on the grill seasoned perfectly read more

Great classic American diner. It seems the regulars and locals come here often and for good reason. You can't beat the friendly hustle that the waitresses dish out. Loved that they offered Linguica as an option. read more

Quick stop for a sandwich. Haddock Reuben was really good. Coffee super strong even for me but a good cup. It's little more than a few tables in a diner setting. Friendly server and quick service. Didn't try any specialty items because of our rush. Would try it again read more

Went for a sleepy winter Rockport breakfast and everything 100% hit the spot. All five of us ordered eggs in a different way, and each was expertly prepared. We highly recommend the sourdough toast and getting a stack of pancakes for the table to share. The vibes, the service, the portions and the prices were perfection. read more

Delisi’s Red Skiff - After delivering the hot cocoa w/whipped cream they offered table-side Christmas sprinkles, which was a DELIGHT. - Seafood Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

Such a quaint little place to get breakfast or lunch. Everything we ordered was delicious! Blueberry muffin was outstanding!

sandwich was ok my friend's breakfast was ok the waitress was ok there was a very LOUD guy with a fitness zone shirt on that thought we had to hear all his thoughts for a half hour bragging about his business um who cares? there was a poor girl near that table that tolerated it, I would not have been able to sit near there, but hey she looked annoyed and couldn't talk with her boyfriend but she took it like a champ once the guy got his food it was better, so yay no bathroom no good parking but not that terrible if you are wearing sneakers read more

Opens early at 6 am (even on Sunday). Counter seating, outdoor tables, and indoor tables. Brianna provided excellent friendly customer service. I got coffee, scrambled eggs & sourdough toast. Also got a to go breakfast sandwich for my friend. Highly recommend! read more

2 pancakes and coffee. $19 after tax and tip. No locals will be eating here at those prices.

No service at all. Asked a waitress whether there was a waiting list/line and got a bewildered look. Head waitress ignored her and us. Very disappointed. read more

Great food service is top notch. You can't go wrong and a local family business Try to stay local as much as possible

Excellent Fish & Chips. Very fresh. (perfect crisp on the outside, tender juicy white meat on the inside). The simple slaw on the side was not overly sweet and fries seemed avg but freshly fried. Wish they made their own tartar sauce, but hey. cant have it all. I was a bit skeptical of the Tuna Poke Bowl, but the server reced it, so gave it a try. Not bad. The sushi grade tuna was fresh indeed. The "coconut rice" (not sure if the server meant coconut milk infused rice) was fine, though I would have preferred them not to be drenched in sauce. The cucumbers, pickled red onions, and splash of white wasabi sauce on top was quite nice. Not sure what sauce soaked the rice that overwhelmed the dish, but the fresh tuna and (pop to my tastebuds w the) subtle wasabi dressing made up for what was overdone. My picky son had the grilled cheese w fries. nothing special there. They are known for their lobster rolls so had to try one. We just tried the one from Lobster Pot in ptown last week, so it was hard not to rate the two between each other. Id say that in terms of New England lobster rolls (if 1 = McDonalds lobster roll and 10 = something in maine that I've yet to try), I say LP = solid 7 and this place is 7.5. (extra .5 for doing the butter toasting of bun justice) Came with the standard fries. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is because the waitress forgot to bring us utensils and water and though I don't mind eating salad w my fingers (traveling Nepal a few months in my 20s taught me well), it seemed a given to offer that right after seating. Overall, the waitress was kind and helpful. It was also that I had to sanitize the table with my own wipes and the residue told me it had not been wiped down yet that day. (though I could be wrong and perhaps there's a lot of debris passing this area). 1.5 yr prior I'd not care, but my son's not vaxxed yet so im hyper vigilant. Even still, Id lean closer to 4.25 rather than 4 stars Note: their Hours today were 10:30am - 2:00pm Not sure how that will change as covid impacts lift. Also, they are not serving breakfast yet. Im told they will begin in another week or so. Call ahead before you arrive if breakfast is your thing. They do not take reservations (at this time) if they did ever. Id come back for sure. Hard to find a place that serves iced coffee/caffeine (for me), above avg lobster rolls (for hubby), and kids menu (for the ever picky little one) in one spot near scenic view. read more

This is a well know hidden gem in the heart of Rockport's downtown. It definitely lives up to the hype from locals and visitors alike! The food is incredibly delicious and the service amazing. We had to wait for an open table and the staff offered us coffee while we waited! Dishes to go back to are breakfast burrito, eggs florentine and are known for their muffins and coffee rolls. Ask for them grilled or heated! If your in for lunch the lobster roll and other lobster specials are amazing. Sandwiches are great but don't leave without a slice of pizza while they last! It's a place you'll go back to again and again! We love it!!! read more

Delisi’s Red Skiff - Hash & eggs with a grilled Blueberry muffin. Eggs with Canadian bacon & French toast - Seafood Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

Saturday, September 8, 2018....had to catch a flight home out of Boston, but wanted to get in my last lobster roll....for breakfast. There's no shame in lobster roll at 10am. Or ever, frankly. And it was a good version and it made me supremely happy. I really did want to try the anadama toast but just couldn't miss out on my last lobster roll for awhile. Hubby and son got regular breakfast fare and enjoyed it. We sat at the counter, which we enjoy, and watched the kitchen through the cut-out. Wouldn't hesitate to return! read more

Warm, friendly people and great food! The avocado, egg & cheese sandwich for breakfast was perfect!

i ordered the lobster roll ($18.99!) - it was delicious! it comes with fries and a generous amount of lobster. the lobster was chewy and flavorful. customer service was good, and the waiters were friendly. there's a section towards the back of the restaurant that overlooks the harbor and has beautiful views of the water. parking is a bit tricky. street parking is quite limited. overall rating: 10/10 read more

Delisi’s Red Skiff - a lobster sandwich and french fries - Seafood Near Me - Rockport, Massachusetts

Probably a great restaurant for breakfast. Looks like fun too. However a spoiler for us sitting it out in the park across from it was a dog left in a dark gray chevy truck! We were relaxing before breakfast and kept waiting to see if the trucks owner would return but they didnt for what would have been our chance to dine here. Felt sorry the dog as he carried on barking loudly and continuously for an hour and a half! You could hear it all over the area. The cops should gave been called and ticketed the owner for leaving the dog in the vehicle that long in heat even if one window was partially opened. It was disturbing, a nuisance to others and plain wrong! Owners finally arrived...they had been dining at the Red Skiff all along right across from their truck! and they ignored the continuously loud barking while they enjoyed their meals. Red Skiff staff should have complained for their other customers. it was ridiculous! We didnt bother to ea read more

Good, hearty breakfasts. I really like the friendly staff and the regular turnout from locals. Outside seating in the summer and friendly counter seating all year long. Great for families. read more

If you're in the Rockport area, make sure you check out this super cozy quaint spot for breakfast/lunch! Seating is super limited with about 6-7 tables and bar seating. But don't let the size of the restaurant scare you away, this restaurant packs a great punch with food! Along with a full breakfast/lunch menu, they have about 5 specials daily ranging from "Chickpea Breakfast Bowls" to "Crisp Chicken BLT Wraps," to a "Portuguese Grilled Cheese" which probably tastes as delicious as it sounds. Being basic AF, I ordered their Chicken Cesar Salad. The parmesan tasted like it was freshly grated and the chicken was super fresh. My sister and mom both ordered their Lobster Roll, which came with huge lumps of lobster meat, piled onto a perfectly grilled & buttered roll. The fries that came with their meal were crisp and fresh. The meal took about 15 minutes to come out, which meant it was made super fresh IMO. Service was warm and friendly. Things to note: they don't have any public restrooms, but there are some right around the corner 30 seconds away. Check this place out, your taste buds will thank you! ;) read more

First time in "The Red Skiff" last Friday morning, perfect seaside town local breakfast/ lunch spot, complete with friendly locals, awesome staff ( mad props to Al and Crystal) and a great breakfast, seriously anyone not poking in here for a bite and conversation is missing out.
