I have sent many many people from NY/NJ to James Hook!! Lobster rolls are my favorite, you can actually taste the salty freshness in their lobster, it’s unbelievably fresh. The clam chowder is The Best in Boston, hands down. Also my last visit, I told the counter man my ride home was 4-5 hours, I ordered 4 lobster rolls and 2 quarts of chowder. He packed the lobster meat and rolls separate AND ON ICE!! He went over and above for my order. I have been a faithful customer for 7 years now and I refuse to go elsewhere!!

During cold weather, you may experience limited indoor seating but during warm weather, they have patio seating. Food is always fantastic. Been there 3 times now on my layovers.

Doesn't look like much from the outside and inside there are limited tables, but the good is really good. Lobster rolls are the best and crab cakes are some of the best I have had. they also are a fish market with a variety of seafood to bring home and cook. highly recommend!
