I visited with my boyfriend and two friends and we had an amazing experience for our lobster rolls. A bit too crowded in the shop for my taste but we all enjoyed the covered outside seating provided with a view of the harbor. Roll was overflowing with meat and the dressing really let the lobster shine. The dressing was sweeter than I've had but still an excellent choice from the menu. If we're back in the area we'll just have to pop in!

On a perfect Sunday morning my husband and I enjoyed a delicious large lobster roll with seltzer waters. As we sat outside and ate, friendly neighborhood birds swooped in begging for crumbs. The lobster was sweet and fresh and the dressing not overpowering in any way so the lobster was what we tasted first. I can't wait to visit again someday!

If you are ever in Boston.......you have to go! Their lobster roll was amazing! They also have fresh live lobsters and other food options. Pick out what you want and then grab a picnic table out side. It's a small red shack very casual. I think they may only take cash, can't remember forsure. ;)

BEST lobster roll ever! Full of lobster meat and lobster meat only! A little mayo and a great bun. Lobster chowder was great as well. Could use a little more lobster but I think it was all in my bun! Don't be fooled by others in Boston claiming to be the best, this place looks like a shack but it really cool and super good!
