Great downtown restaurant....consistenly very good food & the view is great. Staff very friendly...but need to tell the customers their names before they take your orders!
Went for Prime Rib night last night.... my husband said it was excellent...I had deep fried scallops....the best I have had anywhere in a long time.....get there early....they get really crowded!
---- 
THE FOODS AWFUL!!.We ate there recently and I have to say it's as bad as that Hometown Buffet when it comes to Flavor and Texture.I'd rather go the extra mile for a similar menu and dine at the Gloucester House which is superior to Brackett's old worn out menu and awful food.NEVER AGAIN.
Great views and location. patrons are an older crowd. Food is fair. There are better choices. 
We've coming to Rockport for over twenty years and we always dine at Bracketts! Nice place with a great view of water.

Brackett's is a super place to have dinner....View is wonderful....Server's very attentive....Food was excellent and we come back every year for the past several summers. If you are used to eating at a certain time....make reservations....they get filled up rather quickly! A must if you are staying in Rockport & don't want to get in your car & drive. Turtle cheesecake was out of this world!!!

Clam chowder was more like "water of potato".
Although the service & view was great, I have had better food in hospital cafeterias.
Have been coming to Rockport for many years and having been eating at Bracketts for the past 5.It is consistenly a really nice restaurant to eat lunch or dinner.The meal of london broil was tasty as usual and the fish was superb. The waitress was also very attentive!
I had lunch at Brackett's on June 19. Fabulous. We arrived about 1:30p, were seated promptly by the window overlooking the bay. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. We had Native crab casserole, Lobster Roll, Fried scallops and clams with fries and coleslaw. Also tried the Reuben which was great. Wine by the glass offers a Pinot Grigio that was a nice match to rich food. Fries were killer. Great experience here and I would recommend.

I thought the Deep fried scallops were fantastic
I also had the London Broil which was cooked just right....and the broiled Scrod and Haddock
were delicious! We highly recommend this little
Rockport Restaurant.

Bracketts is always good food. Don't let the front of the restaurant fool you, there's a fantastic view out back.

Brackett's Oceanview of Rockport is perched at the edge of the great Atlantic. This is a Cape Ann treasure: Menu is chock full of the usual seafood suspects: fresh fish, scallop and clam dinners. And plenty of meat and sandwich choices. Food is predictably good, year after year. So is the service. The view from the quiet dining room is unmatched. If Rockport would approve alcohol service for responsibly run sit-down eateries such as Brackett's, then maybe we'd be able to enjoy it for more of the year!
