This place was such a vibe! They had live music playing and delicious food! The lobster roll was amazing. They have outdoor seating, and I noticed the owner brought more chairs out when there wasn't enough seating for everyone.

I've had lobster rolls in many different restaurants in Colorado and elsewhere. This was different than any I've had before. The whole thing tasted like the flat top where they griddled the bread. The bun was huge and some strange bread almost like ciabatta that they burned the edges instead of toasting with butter. It is not as good as split hot dog buns. Also after I removed the comical amount of celery, there wasn't much lobster at all. When I tried the lobster by itself it was flavorless. No old bay, or salt or even the taste of the sea. Really wanted to like this place after waiting a few years to try it based on timing. 35$ is pretty standard, but when you compare pictures at other restaurants there is a notable difference in quality and quantity. I bet if they were open year round, it would last very long. The novelty sells.
The crabcake was tasty but not a maryland or east coast style. Much more like a gulf coast style. Heavily shredded crab with lots of shell and seasoning.

Went after a hike in the Aspen area with my dog and was easy to park nearby and good atmosphere. The clams casino are definitely my favorite! Along w the butter lobster roll and clam chowder. Drinks were also pretty strong!

If there was more meat on the roll, maybe I could taste it.

Great service and ambiance, but the lobster roll was seriously disappointing. It was about as special as the bag of Lay's potato chips that it came with. I expected better for $35.

Way too far inland to be fresh enough for this New Englander.
So much fun !!Fantastic wait staff and food and BUTCH is a real human !!

I love this place. I was here 2020 and after 3 years I can get the same atmosphere. If you are here you have to order calamari, oysters, lobster roll and bang bang shrimp. Stuff is friendly and thank you for service.
