    Fish sandwich paired with baked potato and buttery garlic spinach.
    Laura E.

    We decided on a whim to check out this joint. As we had a tour the night before about it being haunted and waitresses seeing a ghost [[HIGHLIGHT]]We liked the vibe it has inside. It wasn't too crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did not order any special cocktails. They didn't have a huge list to begin with. Only a few beers on draft. The have the 2nd level ropes off ( where the ghost was seen) we saw no one going up there. ( not even staff). [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at a booth high top style table. It was cool how they had seating at the bar and it's right by the kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our service was good. Very prompt and polite. Our friends ordered the calamari app and bread. Which the bread does run $4 but so worth it! So fluffy and freshly made. We all ate something seafood related. I definitely thought bigger than my belly. I had the fried fish sandwich with cheddar cheese on brioche bread. Comes with 2 sides: picked the garlic & buttered spinach and a baked potato. The sandwich did have a side of what tasted like their own house made tartar sauce. One of our guests split a cobb salad and another one ordered fish n chips that they all enjoyed.

    We had lobster rolls to go. Great option to grab and take to the beach. Can order online ahead of time! We got the lobster rolls with butter, and my partner got fries, which were also tasty. He commented that he would have wanted it more stuffed with lobster meat, but to me it was a good ratio of meat to butter toasted roll. The lobster meat was slightly sweet, and I could tell it was very fresh.

    We totally thought this lobster roll would've been better. Maybe if we got it cold it would've been better, but it was mostly bread and didn't taste like much. It. might be a skill issue though on our part because we don't eat lobster that often and are from Ohio. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The people inside got the roll out fast though and were helpful and the place was cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    good lobster roll after whale watching, fresh and tastes good, the staff was very patient.

    Once again.... delicious

    Delicious as always. Fresh flaky fish and light batter. Fries are tasty and the sauces are delish. Always consistent and spot on. Love this place.

    Good fish and chips, currently only thing on their menu. Understand they are adding additional items in the near future. Eat in parking lot, no beverage service, but excellent fish and chips.

    Leftovers(two orders) for a little snack later complete with ketchup, tartar sauce and malt vinegar.

    First time ordering Fish and Chips at Turner's and they were tremendous. The young men behind the counter were attentive and very friendly. They even brought the food out to our car. Very neat, clean and they have an outdoor area as well. Golden brown fish fillets with a light and sweet crunchy coating and very good fries. We will definitely be back regularly.

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.

    A solid 3-star review. They need to get their fryer…read moretemperatures under control. The lobster roll was generously portioned but ultimately fell just a bit short of greatness. I really appreciated the amount of fresh meat packed into the toasted brioche bun. However, the seasoning was a little too heavy on the mayonnaise, which masked the natural sweetness of the lobster. The side of French fries arrived piping hot and perfectly crispy. It is a decent option if you are craving seafood, though it needs minor tweaks. Overall, it was a perfectly average meal that left me satisfied but not entirely blown away. The Fried Clams which were a mixed of textures. Some of the clams were beautifully sweet and tender, while others were noticeably overcooked and chewy. The batter had a great crunch, but it lacked the necessary seasoning to make the dish pop. I also ordered a side of onion rings that were greasy, though they still had a decent flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful for a casual dinner. I might return eventually, but I am not in a rush. The shrimp looked fantastic when it arrived at our table with a beautiful golden-brown exterior. Unfortunately, the shrimp themselves were a bit rubbery and lacked that fresh, snappy bite you expect at a seafood joint. The French fries were standard, nothing spectacular, but they served their purpose as a side. It was a perfectly mediocre dining experience that did not justify the slightly high price tag. Despite the okay service, I will probably look for a different spot next time. If you want a cushy 11-to -7 this isn't it. This gig is seasonal, which means you have a small window to make your money and bust your tail.
