This place is ridiculous! It doesn't follow its own store hours! We burned gas to only arrive at this place being closed when store hours stated that they were open! I won't be back here!! What a horrible impression for newcomers!

This is the large size of a togo clam chowder ( that’s a tangerine on the left ) and it was only half full. Ordered for dinner with a few other things and had to make a frozen pizza after anyways. Not worth the money. Let me guess though, the owner is gonna respond and say how they will work on it. Should’ve read all the negative reviews first

They’re robbing people out of their money and appetite. This place is disgusting, how are they still in business?? My favorite seafood restaurant was closed, so Between the Bun was our plan B… this should be more of a plan XYZ! The last place you should eat if everything else fails lol. The pictures on the website lure you in, making you think you’ll get a decent lobster roll meal. The bun is a sweet Hawaiian roll, the waffle fries are from the frozen food section in the grocery store, and you can find the Mac and cheese in aisle 13 called Kraft macaroni and cheese lol. $60 for THE MAIN EVENT and 4 sides… more like $60 for a disappointment and stomach ache.

Second time coming here and still just regular not as good as it seems and Im pretty sure this is can crab meat mixed in... then had the nerve to charge $3.50 for a can soda smh

I feel like their bread overpowers the taste of the actual meat. I tried all three today. Shrimp crab and lobster. Kinda expensive too.

Excellent flavor on seafood sandwiches!

I'm not really sure what this is but I do know my entire seasoning rack at home had to be assaulted to bring out any flavor.The waffle fries were bland as bland comes, and after throwing em in my broiler I prayed it would be enough heat to bring a fruitful crisp or put them out of their misery and end them for good.Same with the Mac n cheese, that poor Mac no doubt had dreams of flying as high as its Kraft and Panera forefathers and become a household name. Instead, like any small pawn cast aside while the big guy gets all the credit, my excellent habanero crispies from Trader Joe's (you know the ones) brought this dish from a 2 to a strong 4.By the time they got to the lobster roll I think they said "you know what? We can do better, let's give her that crunch she's been lookin for" and then threw in some lobster shell for me to bite into. Twice. Jokes on them, I'm already regularly overpaying for dental care! Nonetheless, they softened the blow with a very sweet bun, which I was not expecting and did not make it better.Sigh.

Ordered a 23$ lobster roll with 50% extra meat. I saw the other extremely deceptive photo reviews and expected a decently sized lobster roll.However, the serving size was literally the smallest portion I’ve ever seen to the point it’s almost a scam. I could have just bought a full lobster for a similar price but I got less meat than a single claw.

So delicious! Crab roll is amazing and the sides were great!

Well... In the end the food was nothing to complain about. 1 person doing everything is rediculous, not to mention unsanitary. No sign of hand washing and she had her phone in her hand while in the kitchen. The food was okay. They were out of lobster, 1st world problems I know. The young lady working was nice and had a great attitude but clearly whoever owns the place is not doing well. Handwritten things on the digital menu was the weirdest thing I saw. The business seems to be desperately clinging on.
