Not Your Ordinary Bistro is directly across from Roy Moore Lobster Co. in Bearskin Neck, Rockport! I overheard people walking by saying the lemonade tasted really fresh, while I was standing in line to order at Roy Moore. After we finished eating, I couldn't help but stand in line to try their lemonade here! The lemonades are $5.95 a pop & we ordered 3 of them. Tasted GREAT! I did not find it to be too sweet and not too sour, just right. The wait to order was a bit long since there was only one cashier & she was walking back and forth from the kitchen to the pick-up window & back to the ordering window lol. I would get this again & perhaps try their food options! read more

Lobster was not fresh!! Came by a couple of weeks ago & we splurged on lobster rolls...very disappointed read more

This is a delicious spot for fries at Rockport MA. My friend and I ordered Greek salad and French fries , YUM! The wait wasn't bad, they were efficient by providing us a beeper, much like you would receive while waiting for a table at Olive Garden. The staff were friendly and welcoming, their joy definitely made the road trip a quintessential beach trip memory! My friend and I took our food closer to the coast and sat on rocks to eat the food, which was well packed! read more

Had the fish and chips. Plenty of food. The fish was so tender and fresh and the outside was just crunchy enough. The homemade lemonade was so tasty. read more

The food here was awful! Do not buy the corn-on-the-cob. It was brown on both ends, and it was not sweet! The food was overpriced and not that great. The service was good, though. Kind and helpful. read more

Across the way from the Bearskin is the Roy Moore stand where you can choose and sentence your lobster to its fate. The Bearskin states its lobster meat crosses that street and into their lobster roll. And it is a fine lobster roll, in a plain store-bought hot dog bun, on a plate of quite good fries- quite good. And its all eaten at the cafe tables outside, on the lovely tourist route to the jetty. But the price of that lobster roll belies the pride and hubris of Bearskin. Even with student debt relief savings, save your money. An existential absurdity; is the owners' lambo lurking? Or have I gone too far with this... Skip it. Get the expensive, but far less so, fish and chips. Light batter, fresh fresh cod, just super. And those same good fries. tartar and ketchup included read more

fries went downhill fast, not tasty just greasy my friend's chicken was too expensive seating was too crowded no bathroom flies around the trash of course find the tables the owner drives a huge white SUV that SPEEDS down T wharf, not cool, I get it you're stressed out after a long day but have some regard for the pedestrians, dog walkers, children, elders and bikers. Please. This is a family town read more

This place was pretty standard- the giant stuffed clam tasted like mostly breading and not much seafood. The lobster roll was tasty, but the lobster roll at Salty's is far superior! Lobster roll came with fries instead of chips which was nice. read more

My granddaughter and I are on a girls weekend and had lunch at the Bistro yesterday...delicious! My granddaughter had the crab salad sandwich and I had a cup of clam chowder...we shared greek fries (my favorite)! Great service and friendly staff! Highly recommend! read more

This was a really convenient spot by the beach. They had a fairly extensive menu, not just seafood like some of the nearby options. The food was good, but nothing out of this world. I would recommend for a convenient meal on the go. read more

My friend and I stopped by the Bistro and got the most basic of dishes - a tuna melt - and it was the best tuna melt either of us has ever had. This was in the summer of 2022, and he and I have independently been trying to replicate it since then - unsuccessfully. The fact that it continues to haunt us from afar is testimony to how delicious it was; I spent a full year trying to match its amazingness, and finally gave up. I guess we will just need to go back! read more

I can't give this enough stars!! The woman who served us was so accommodating and nice. We didn't wait long for our food. I got the BLT which had plentiful bacon! My friend got the chicken gyro and was seriously obsessed and said I had to make sure I told Yelp. My other friend got the chicken wrap and said it was great. We shared the fries- with seasoning and feta cheese on it- WOW!! What a concoction- SO good!! read more

The good- staff super nice and helpful. The seating area cute. The homemade lemonade is great. The bad - Fried fish, French fries, onion rings. All seemed like frozen food you could get at the grocery. This is not New England seafood and it's very expensive for what it is. Maybe the home made items were better but skip the fried food. read more

Was briefly shopping on the strip and wanted a quick bite & should have gauged from this place being empty that it was Meh... The chowder was ok, the roll was fine, it was just considerably over priced for the portion we received. The service was less than desirable, but I guess I dont know what I expected. The menu is limited, so we were stuck with just this. Next time Ill go down the street. read more

My cousin and I spent the afternoon in Rockport and very much enjoyed our lunch here! She was pleased to order fish and chips as she's Irish and has been homesick for it. She very enjoyed the fish she thought the tartar sauce was good. The fries are known to be "the best" - she agreed. I am not a seafood person. I was glad to see other things on the menu. I had the Greek chicken wrap. It was delicious. The chicken was seasoned nicely. It was not overfilled with lettuce. They have one walk up and one pick up window. The street gets a little crowded with other Rockport visitors but you can still wait "socially distant". Very friendly service. Hand sanitizer at the pick up window. Would definitely eat here again when in Rockport I recommend. read more

We live in Rockport and this place became our family's regular lunch spot this summer! So many choices - my kids love the burgers, hot dogs, and chicken fingers. I like getting the chicken kebab salad or the gyro. The seating area is the perfect place for large families to hunker down for a good meal without stress. And oh yes - GREEK FRIES. The family that runs this place is wonderful. Friendly, kind, and hard-working. We can't wait for next season. Efharisto! read more

Bad. Ordered two hot lobster rolls with butter and some clam chowder for $80. No clams in the chowder (basically potato soup) and received the lobster rolls cold and with mayo...on a hotdog bun lol. Didnt even provide us enough ketchup for the fries. Everything about this place is worth skipping. read more

Overpriced for the size, but quite tasty lobster meat in the lobster roll. You have to put the Mayo on yourself and bread could be slightly more toasted. Worth stopping by to try and preferred over Roy Moore's. read more

Amazing fried calamari, super nice staff and quick service. Love the location and the outdoor seating. Definitely coming back!

As we were walking down Bearskin Neck, we tried Bearskin Neck Bistro for their fish and chips. The price was a bit higher than expected, but they did provide good portions and fish that tasted fresh. They also offer pretty good outdoor seating and overall service. They also offer a number of other seafood options and dessert options. They are a solid choice if you're looking for seafood with flexible options! read more

Came for lunch and the lobster roll with fries was a special. I had the hot buttered lobster roll and it was very tasty and full of lobster. I didn't care much for the fries but they were plentiful. A lemonade was also very good. Not lots of seating but I managed. read more

Every since I transitioned to gluten free I haven't found a place that serves gluten free bun lobster rolls. You can guess my excitement when I came across this little eater and noticed that they in fact provided an option for the celiac folks. It was pretty good probably a little bit more seasoning on the lobster roll but the fries were to die for. They were crunchy and perfect in every way. The cleaned the tables as soon as people leave so you're always seating on a clean sanitized table. Seats are limited and on a first come first serve basis however the turnover is so quick you will not have to wait long to get a seat. read more

We've been here twice and both times, the food was really good. The first time, I had the warm lobster roll with butter and fries ($20.95), and lobster bisque ($5.95). It was the best lobster roll I had all summer, and the bisque was excellent. My partner had the cold lobster roll ($18.95) and clam chowder ($4.95). He also thought it was very good. Yesterday I had the chicken gyro sandwich ($9.95) and clam chowder ($4.95) and it was the best Chicken Gyro sandwich I've ever had. The pita bread was fresh and seemed to be home made, and the meat was in chunks and was grilled with lots of spices. The sauce was garlicky, a little spicy and very tasty. All in all, a great, casual place to dine when in Rockport. read more

Really amazingly good lobster roll. Fries tasty. Very limited seating but the lady running it super awesome and nice.

We had our first lobster roll here while visiting family and it was phenomenal. We have since had it a couple more times while on vacation and each time we compare it to the one we had here and by far Bearskin Neck Bistro's is the winner. Thanks for introducing us to your delicious lobster rolls. read more

Although we were in Rockport, my husband and I were craving greek/Mediterranean cuisine. Hence we settled on a Spinach pie and chicken kebob salad at this bistro. We requested the chicken to be well grilled. The kebob was very flavorful. It was coated in herbs yet wasn't spicy. The spinach pie was nice too. Someone next to us ordered fish and chips and it smelled very good. Lol. They have outdoor seating in front and on the side. Perfect for sunny weather. The person at the counter was friendly and attentive. read more

We had the Greek Chicken and Veggie Wraps today and were not disappointed, they were both made with fresh ingredients and were very flavorful. The service was quick and the outside eating area was very clean. Kudos to the Bearskin Neck Bistro for making such wonderful sandwiches. read more

Claims to be the best fries in town... and while we've not tried other places in town these fries are delicious. Crispy but not greasy. We got it as part of fish and chips order. The fish was also so delicious. Tender flakes on the inside and crispy skin. Love. Will definitely come back for more read more

Awful food! We had a crabmeat roll and it was a big disappointment. Not only was the roll super small, it tasted nothing like crabmeat. Never coming back! read more
