We drove up to Rockport from Boston and had planned to have lobster dinner at the Roy Moore Lobster Company Restaurant. However, as we walked toward the rocky seashore, we saw the little lobster shack storefront run by the same owner, with large lobster tanks lined up along the walls. Since we went on the Monday after Mother's Day, they... More

We ate here twice during a recent visit to Rockport and would go again if we were in the area. The first time was the night I had got off my flight, so I was not wanting the challenge of fighting with seafood. However, the lure of lobster was too much and we returned later in the week. The lobster... More

A lobster straight out of the tank and into the steamer, served on a cardboard tray, and enjoyed on the back deck facing the harbour of beautiful Rockport. Unbeatable.

My husband and I walked in and the owner knew we were not from the area. He said just pick what you want and pay later... We started with 6 oysters, one lobster roll, and a bowl of clam chowder. WOW...what a great lunch...went back for a whole lobster and 6 more oysters. Sat outside on the little deck area... More

Ate outside on some perfectly steamed lobsters after delicious clam chowder and a dozen raw oysters. Friendly staff invited you in to the shack loaded with all kinds of seafood. Great brunch.

My husband is on a quest for the best clam chowder and we think we found it here. He even went back the next day and had it for breakfast! You walk in the door, someone asks you what you want, and they hand it to you. Simple as that. The freshest seafood you will ever taste.

This is a small place, no fuss, friendly staff. Without the hug red lobster, I'd have said this place was nondescript. Walk in a small door to a dark inside- the right is lined by tanks of lobsters, the left by the drink dispenser. Place your order at the cashier's about 10 feet into the shop. A small plastic case...

My husband and I visited the 'restaurant' (shack!) after seeing recommendations on Trip Advisor. It looks run down from the outside and I would have walked straight past had I not done some research in advance... I'm so glad I did. I ordered a lobster roll, which was just under $20, and I sat and ate it on the benches... More

We stopped at the shack version (there's a resterunt and there's the little shack version). Ken was amazing with the kids and inspired such a great atmosphere. Food is reasonably priced and excellent. His wife makes great clams and fish cakes. Perfect lunch.

We stopped at Roy Moore's today based on the TA reviews. We all ordered two pound lobsters at $13 per pound (spring lobsters are more expensive than summer) which were absolutely delicious. They come cracked, so there isn't much work involved in eating them. We also tried the stuffed clams and fresh oysters -- both were outstanding. There are less... More
