Stopped here for a lobster roll and was not disappointed. Huge chunks of tender lobster, including the whole claw meat, on a buttery roll. Delicious!

The large roll was sweet and succulent. The lobster was not rubbery. It was so amazing. I drove back to Boston the next day to get another. It's so good words cannot describe it. I will fly back next year from Seattle to eat here. The bun is amazing too. Lovely texture!!!!!

Had high expectations going in and they delivered and then some. If you're in Boston and want a Lobster roll, go here. The ones in Quincy market are good but less meat and too much mayo and filler. For a few dollars more at James Hook you get a ridiculous amount of lobster meat with a light coating of mayo. They don't mess around. Highly recommended

The bisque was good, but to pay $2.50 for a small bottle of Poland Springs water, that is a disgrace, especially when they don't post beverage prices. BRING YOUR OWN WATER !!
