Sadly, we didn’t have a good experience with the food. My husband and I both ordered the lobster roll and had so many shells and whatever the hard piece from the tail is in the roll we couldn’t eat it. The New England Clam Chowder was so salty, we didn’t eat that either. I didn’t want to complain, since they were about to close, but we spent a lot of money for food we could not eat. ☹️
Love the fact that they have a cold lobster roll!!! It was fresh and had good flavor. The clam roll was also good. Nice location to just sit and eat outside. Staff was really friendly! I’ll definitely go back.

Has potential, but really needs to step it up. We were initially happy to see a cold lobster roll option since many places in Connecticut only have the hot butter version. The lobster was good but it came with way too much lettuce (imo), but the real problem was the untoasted roll. It was like wet soggy wonder bread. I dont even think it can be called a lobster roll if you don't toast the bun. The smash burger was not actually a smash burger either. It was a thick patty that tasted more like meatloaf. I like meatloaf, but I did not like this. The fries and onion rings were pretty good. There were lots of people around enjoying byob and the water view through the fence. Maybe it will get better.

My friend Terri and I drove 11/2 hours to check out this spot. The lobster roll was stuffed with lots of tender lobster meat. The fries were great and the homemade coleslaw was awesome. Chef Mike and Dahlia (behind the counter) were super friendly. They even took pictures of us all. Well wouth the drive. What are your waiting for?

The drive was long from East Hartford Connecticut but the food was so well worth every mile! Chef Mike recommended the shrimp tacos topped with their special sauce, which was fresh and absolutely delicious! The side of coleslaw was a big hit with me too! Chef Mike was awesome and very accommodating! The scenery is beautiful and the service was great! I highly recommend J&B Dockside!
