A fun and small neighborhood diner where most of the customers were addressed by name. With a 4.9 rating, we had to check out their burgers. No off-street parking, but we walked from a nearby park. We sat at the counter and enjoyed watching the buzz in the dining area and the kitchen. Very friendly counter service. We ordered the Hangover Burger with fries and the Classic Burger with onion rings. The burgers and sides were fabulous and filling. The brunch menu looks fabulous and makes me wish I lived within a block or two of this popular place. Expect a wait unless you arrive early, but I'd highly recommend a visit to this colorful local gem. There is one small table out front and takeout pick-ups were non-stop during our visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars

This place is great!! Friendly staff great milkshakes got the pork belly smash burger! And it was outstanding!! I did ask for no jalapeños, got them anyway. the burger was outstanding!! Fries are really good too! I will definitely be back!! $32 for a burger and milkshake is a high price…..it’s Newburyport.

Absolutely nothing but positive things to say! After a few years, we FINALLY made it to The Cormorant back in November and have been back 5 times (or more?) since then! We have mostly done takeout, but just ate there at the restaurant, and the staff was exceptional. Beyond accommodating, attentive, and kind. Even though it’s taken us a while to go, it’s quickly become one of our favorites!
