Delicious with an amazing view! We got the fish cakes, fish and chips, shrimp tacos, and the fried halibut sandwich (I forget the name). Everything was really good and the servers were super kind. ACd since it was such a hot day! Fish cakes were the best.
We’ll be moving soon, so we paid a visit to Rockport to enjoy a lovely sunny day by the water. Little did we know we would discover Brackett’s. What an awesome place! The food was delicious and the view was spectacular.
1) Brackett’s Fish Cakes (a local favorite!): Homemade fishcakes served with newburg
or old bay sauce.
2) Fried Shrimp Plate.
We loved everything. Couldn’t have asked for more incredible local seafood. And the service was lovely!
What a lovely lunch spot! All of the staff was so welcoming and engaging! The hostess told me more about the area since this was my first visit to Rockport. The food and drinks were great! And the view is spectacular :) what more can you ask for? Thank you for a nice relaxing meal!

Unassuming restaurant. Feels like a local favorite spot. You walk into an understated entrance . It's very rustic. The surprise is the actual dining room. Your walk into spectacular views of the harbor, people swimming, and sailboats gliding by. The food is good ,homey. Great fish. Well cooked nice selection of sides. You won't be disappointed. Make a reservation their popular.
In spite of the Covid restrictions for inside dining Brackett's made us feel comfortable and welcome. Great atmosphere, tasty food, and a wonderful view. We will have to go back so I can get to try the clams next time. Maybe they'll be back on the menu.
Hands down the best dining experience we had in Rockport all week. Lovely spot, great service, great atmosphere, wonderful view, and overall just an enjoyable experience that my wife and I agreed was the best of the week.
Great place for breakfast and lunch. With a staffing shortages, you order your food at the counter and take it to a table or to go.
Homemade donuts and pastries, great breakfast sandwiches and good hot coffee.
From the street it looks like nothing is going on- but the acton is in the back, a busy big room with windows facing the water. Lots of good food choices, friendly service, open room a little noisy.

The number one response you hear when you ask, "What's good at Brackett's?" is "Everything's good at Brackett's." I can't say that I've eaten everything, but what I've had so far exceeded my expectations. The menu is seafood heavy if you're into that. I don't eat seafood, but I highly recommend the BBQ pulled pork tacos with pineapple salsa. If you get the right spot, you also get a great view of Front Beach and Rockport Harbor.
