We come into town every summer!! Best place we have found! Lobster grilled cheese is amazing!! Everything is fresh and tickles the taste buds!! Owners are personable and enjoy their business. I would walk at least a mile to get here. Love that they are right by the water and the marsh! Views are incredible!!

Best Lobster Rolls In Connecticut hand down. Took a drive from NYC based on numerous rave reviews and lived up to the hype and more. I can't wait to bring friends and family next time. Family atmosphere with superb service. The water views were picturesque.

If you're like me who is always on a hunt for a good lobster roll. This place is one of my top 5. It's a little on a pricey side depending on how you look at the entire experience. The ambiance is awesome , the view of yacht on private docks . School of fish frolicking in the water .. a treat for your eyes especially for family with kids , it's definitely a wonderful distraction for kids waiting for food .

This is the best lobster roll in the area! There is no close second. The lobster meat was so tender. Shrimp cocktail was also cooked perfectly. Clear clam chowder was excellent. Very friendly staff and a beautiful view.

I came here for dinner with my girlfriend and I must say I am definitely not impressed and I most likely will not be returning for several reasons. I had to park at the Guilford marina because there is barely any parking as this place being in the back of the Guilford mooring which no offense but really sucks and looks no better than a shack. Yes the customer service was great the two guys that run it have a great personally and everything very kind I'll give that to you but I can tell there are a lot of details missing with your business. Very disappointed I had to use the ATM on the inside which the fee was over three dollars to take money out because you are a cash only business that is written on the menu only that is not fair to the customer. I had the lobster roll which was good and tasty nothing wrong but for a basic lobster roll in a hotdog bun that I've had at other places it was way over priced.

CASH ONLY. Great lobster rolls, cole slaw and potato salad. Outside dining only on picnic tables under a good awning/tent. Nice views on a good weather day. ATM

Not kidding....food, service and atmosphere are all top notch! The staff is super friendly and the picturesque setting at the marina is a place that is hard to leave. Lobster rolls are the best! Toasted buttery buns filled with fresh lobster...no fillers. Chowder and slaw are excellent too. Bring a camera and your appetite (and your own libation if you are so inclined). I discovered the Lobster Pound a few years ago and I happily drive over a hundred miles to get here from my home in NY at least a couple of times during the summer. Can't wait to go back.

BRING CASH! They have an ATM, but it wasn't working. It's also a BYOB. They have a restaurant/bar next door they send people to if they need alcohol, but they are generally closed on holidays. We only came for lobster rolls, so I can't tell you about any other food items. We were very disappointed because they just were not buttery as far as we are concerned. The lobster meat was perfectly cooked and I got some gorgeous pieces. The roll itself did not taste good to me for some reason. The other reason I only give it a 4 is they need fans or something. It was crazy hot outside and flies all over. Our server was very nice.

Among the better lobster rolls on the shore, with the core difference being the vibes and the view. This venue is directly on the harbor, waves lapping gently in the summer sun. Very hard to beat the fundamentals of this place, New England to its core, immediate service. There may be a better lobster roll somewhere, but when you're a local trying to enjoy life, this places earns every star.
