    Fried Haddock Reuben sandwich
    Cody D.

    Visiting the last stop on the commuter train from Boston, we wanted to have a nice dinner and chose this place. The bar had open seats and a Vanderbilt football game on, so there we sat. The bartender was very friendly and took great care of us. The food was really good, especially the buffalo shrimp with blue cheese dressing for dipping. The dinning room looked like it had a great view of the harbor, if sitting at the bar isn't your thing. There were a couple of other well-reviewed restaurants in Rockport, so getting a good meal shouldn't be difficult. The Fish Shack made it very easy.

    It's our first time visiting the Rockport beach. This is a very cute small town, about one hour away from Boston. We are here early morning and needed to find a place for lunch. Overall, amazing view of the ocean and great seafood! I am surprised that we really enjoyed the fried clams. Huge portions of all plates! Really love the local vibe of the place and excellent spot for the ocean view. The waiter was great too.

    The table views are beautiful! Large open space. Big bar. I had the clam chowder and haddock sandwich. Both solid. My wife had the haddock and potato with green beans. She is GF DF. They were accommodating but not many options if you have food allergies. Not even vegan butter. Service was decent. Friendly but a bit understaffed. Not unusual especially at the start of the season. Good beer and drink selection. Overall I can def recommend.

    Clam chowder and crab cakes

    What a great way to end our night! Chowder, crab cakes, lobster, and sautéed shrimp - couldn't ask for better food! Brian, the bartender, was friendly and helpful! He made the atmosphere fun. Will definitely be back when we come through Rockport again!

    Lobster scampi
    Kristine V.

    I'm losing my mind over the lobster scampi. It was so delicious. My husband got the lobster Mac n cheese which was also amazing. Our server was so friendly & on it. She was busy and never showed it. We sat near a window but there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The large windows gave everyone a beautiful view.

I didn't realize their rice had parsley in it since it wasn't listed on the menu. A bit disappointing since I'm not a fan of parsley, so I couldn't really enjoy the rice since that was all I tasted. 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. EDIT: 8/6/2026 After seeing this review, Fleur did reach out to make things right about the price difference situation and the manager I spoke with.

Our drink orders were taken right away but after the drink orders service was a little slow. The waitress explained they were short staffed. I take no stars off for this. Short staff is a common issue including my place of business. Our waitress was very friendly and really good with the children in our party. I really liked the variety on the menu. There were affordable options with some higher priced dinners. There was an option for everyone in our party. I had the stuffed haddock covered with a seafood stew. I'm a little bit of a snob when it comes to seafood stuffing so I was a little hesitant to try it but OH BOY am I glad I did. The stuffing and stew were amazing! No leftovers for me. The rest of our party had various options off the menu and all of us were please with our meals. I highly recommend The Old Salt. A nice ambience. Friendly service. Great food. We'll be back on our next Hampton Beach vacation.

I joked with the counter staff about the length between visits, and they joked about about not letting it go forty more years -- they might not be around that long!

With a craving for some seafood, we decided to pop in for a late lunch. The whole Burke's team was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. We asked for recommendations and made some quick selections before the kitchen closes for the day. We opted for the shrimp lunch, oyster dinner, and a seafood chowder. The chowder came out first. The lady was so friendly, making sure we had enough spoons and cups of water. The chowder was thick and creamy with chunks of seafood. I am not usually fans of fried seafood. However, the fried shrimps and fried oysters here were so good that the batter didn't adulterate the freshness of the shrimps and oysters at all. Both were cooked to perfection without being dry. As I was watching the light snow flurries outside the windows, I was thinking to myself that I was lucky to still enjoy some fresh seafood here as the temperatures are dropping.
