    a hot dog and a sandwich
    Diana N.

    Solid place for a meal! I had the large steak, cheese, and mushroom sub. I called ahead for a pick up order and it didn't take much time at all. There is street parking available.

    Here's the deal. Have you ever been into a sub shop and walked into a adjoining pub with great beer, game on TV, seating for 20 and cute bartenders? That's what this place is. I'm a fan and will be back... Oh yeah, food from the pizza/sub shop was pretty good!

    Rockport Brewing Company - Pretzel sticks with grain mustard and beer cheese

    Rockport isn't exactly known for their pizza. So a quick Yelp search came up when the kids were…read moreasking for it and the brewery came pretty recommended with what looked like some decent pies. We were downtown already parked, so it involved a 12 minute walk out to the brewery but it was still very worth it, easy to get to via the great sidewalk system within the city. It looks like an old converted house that now has an open floor plan with a tiny bar, walk up service (no wait staff) for all of your food/drink needs and then maybe about a dozen tables with some video games in the back. It's not a huge place and I was kind of surprised we didn't have any kind of view of the brewing area unless it doesn't take place on site. We were glad we chose to eat lunch here, not only for the inventive offerings but also because of the prices. It's getting harder and harder to find even lunch items for less than $15 but everything we got was just that. The pizza was pretty meh but the kids didn't seem to mind. I'm always a sucker for excellent grain mustard that pairs well with pretzels and it definitely did here. The curry chicken salad sandwich was the standout for me, perfectly seasoned with a good amount of complimentary grapes and the house made bread really put it all together. Now I wish we had gotten two of them. I had a New England IPA that was cloudy and fruity, an excellent pairing with the pretzels and sandwich. Not the best brewery in the world and a bit small but it serves the needs of one of New England's quaint seaside towns. My biggest disappointment was not seeing one single TV while we were in there for a Patriots game that was about to start.

    I'd like to give 3.5 stars. It was certainly somewhere between "OK" and "Good", but I am erring on…read morethe side of "Good", because I do not have any major complaints. I am not the target demo, being a vegan who doesn't drink, so please keep that in mind when reading my review! I did the Build-your-own burger, ordering a veggie burger patty and some mixed veggies on top. The patty was fine, not my favorite type of veggie burger, and I was a little disappointed since I thought...and I may have totally invented this in my mind)... that they offered a vegan smashburger made with Beyond or Impossible meat. That would have been my preference. The fries were good. My friend said her burger was fantastic, and the onion rings as well. So overall, the food was perfectly enjoyable. Nothing stand-out, but all very good. For ambiance, it is not a comfortable space, uncomfy chairs at tiny tables in a cramped space. There were ants crawling all over our table (not the restaurant's fault, it was a rainy spring day,0 but it did put a damper on my insect-hating friend's birthday dinner. The service was a bit frantic, there was a long wait to put in our order, but they were not rude or anything... just not very attentive.

    Small place, small bar, two small rooms off the bar. Burger-focused menu with smashburgers in…read morevarious themes. "The Basic": The only straightforward option, with two smashed patties and all the ingredients in a Big Mac, plus tomato. Bigger and better, of course, but pretty run of the mill. And not truly smashed to achieve the signature outer crusting. It seems more like a marketing decision to simply call it a smashburger, since smashburgers are "in" these days. Certainly decent; just nothing special. Waffle Fries: Industrial strength and odd-tasting, with a weird greasy texture and non-salty seasoning. Crisp but unpleasantly unnatural. Your mileage may vary. I'll say this: for $15, you get a lot for your money.

    Very tasty. Generous portions…read more First time trying this restaurant. We got take out. Tried the chicken karage (huge portions), shrimp tempura (5), Tod mun goong app (very tasty chicken and shrimp nugget) my favorite. Pad See Ew came with generous portion of grill pork - tasty. Ba Mee Nam is a wonton soup ramen noodle (wonton has shrimp and chicken). Choice of grilled pork or chicken, generous portion of meat. Packed nicely for takeout. Broth was very nice. It is so nice Chinese broccoli was in several of our dishes, perfectly cooked and crunchy. What a treat. Khao Kha Moon - save for another meal, rice dish with braised pork and veggies and egg. Restaurant interior is very simple but cozy. Will definitely order again.

    Horrible experience. Went on Friday about 4:30pm. Not too busy, should have been great service…read more Instead, the waitress was a young teenager who couldn't remember orders, would not stop interrupting me and my client asking if we wanted to order more food. To get a second beverage was hard. Waitress would see empty drinks but not ask. I had to get up to find her and ask for drink. At the end, the food I ordered to go was not in the bag. I was charged for everything and even gave a 20% tip because I felt bad for a kid waitress. BUT then trying to call and talk to a manager about getting the food I paid for went bad. No one spoke English Friday or Saturday. There was no manager and I was told I have to speak the owner Harry. However, they would not provide contact info for Harry or any way to communicate with Harry.

    Small-ish outfit near the golf course with about a dozen tables and a long bar with a few TV…read morescreens. Beer selections are minimal but just varied enough that you'll find something to your liking, whether mainstream or craft. The food menu is much deeper, nailing most of the pub food classics. As a burgers and wings guy, that was my focus, but there's enough greenery to satisfy my vegetarian wife too. GPH Burger: A well sourced blend, made into a patty of good thickness, grilled over an open flame, and housed in a potato bun with a generous allotment of toppings. Beautiful presentation, and most importantly, the flavor of the beef came through, never getting lost. You can order pink or no pink; I went pink, and on my first visit they nailed the temperature, color, and juiciness to go along with the crusty exterior. Good seasoning, and very enjoyable grill flavor. One of the best burgers I've had this year. Tried it again on a second visit, again requesting pink, but: a) not pink or juicy, and b) no flame grill flavor. Still a decent burger-- mostly because the addition of some nicely chewy and very strongly cured bacon picked up some of the slack. Third try, a repeat of the first, so two out of three ain't bad. Smashburger: Solid enough, though not as pronounced of surface crispness as a proper smashburger. Fries: Hand-cut, plentiful, dark, crispy, and just droopy enough. There's no salt on the table, but these were salted perfectly. Ketchup is an off brand, with a little more tartness than the standard, but it worked fine. Onion Rings: The thick ring, thick batter kind, and very crunchy. All depends on whether you like that style. Hot Dog: The menu lists them with fries included, but if you're already getting a burger, you can add one on without getting the extra fries. Toasted New England flat-sided bun, very juicy, grilled wiener, and toppings you can choose. Chili is a $3 add-on, but note there are beans included. I enjoyed mine and would get it again without the chili. Wings: Went Buffalo once, somewhat crisp, somewhat tender, nice sauce, with spices and seasonings, but not what I'd call Buffalo and not much coverage. These are baked, then fried, so missing a little something.went sweet chili on the next visit, and these were closer to the listed flavor and a little closer to wings that quench a wings craving.
