We happened up on the Rockport Diner quite by accident. We left in time to have lunch before our ferry ride to North Haven Island, but then got an idea that we’d head up to the winery to buy some local gin as gifts instead.
Then we remembered what Theresa and Jeff told us. In Rockport and Camden, rush hour is lunch hour. Traffic is at its worst between noon and 2 p.m. — just when we were heading out. Plus, it was raining. So on our way to find the winery, we bailed and pulled over to get our bearings. We had pulled over here in this parking lot, and we decided, what the heck? Why not have lunch here?
It’s not the kind of place any sort of tourist would go for, normally. Mostly locals lunching:
Greg peruses the menu:
I got a soup and sandwich: shrimp roll and fish stew.
I couldn’t much eat the fish stew… lots of milk. So I shared that with Greg, who got a grilled cheese and fries:
Greg absolutely loved the fish stew — said it was about the best he’d had all trip.
And that’s about that for the Rockport Diner!
