“Let me start off by saying I’ve had thousands of lobster rolls. Not all get reviewed. I only review if they are the best or they are the worse. Almost any place can have a mid quality lobster roll but not many can be the best or the worst. If you want the best you have to try Jessica’s garden there fresh ingredients followed by their simplistic roll make it the best. In ct it happens a lot of the time where places get to fancy and make a good roll a bad roll, or they use lemon to cover up sub par frozen lobster. That is not the case what so ever at Jessica’s garden. They separate perfectly toasted butter roll from the perfect, fresh, delicious, quality lobster meat taking a bath in some fantastic butter. The fact they separate it. Well that’s to prevent sbs (soggy bun snot). This lobster roll will make you emotional for sure. If you wanted to you could bring a low tide scented candle, a beach towel, and a speaker playing waves crashing and seagulls flying and shouting. At that point close your eyes for your first bite and it will be like captain Brando himself in the seafood capital of the world Maine just was fishing 10 hours, drove his boat back to the bay, cooked the lobster himself and delivered you this delightful buttery roll himself straight from the boat that day after a long day at work. This is the roll of Connecticut and Jessica along with her garden should be proud. As for the service the guy was nice and had this 10/10 lobster roll in my hand in less than 5 min. Can’t beat that I will be back.“

“They are the best!!! Fresh food, super tasty and they are super friendly! I tried the poke bowl multiple times, açaí bowl and dragon fruit bowl. Awesome everytime ❤️“

“Belgian and Swiss Chocolates, coffee, ice cream and gifts. Really, you had me at “chocolate” 😋.“

“3/31/25. So I’m actually at the Dairy Queen restaurant right now compliments go out to the young lady working the front counter. She was pleasant, and I had sat down while I was waiting for my food. She actually brought my food to the table for me, which was very kind. Compliments should go to the rest of the staff tonight as well as they made my food and they seem happy serving other people. A restaurant is clean and very modern.“
