Jessica's Garden and Lobster Shack

What a great spot to stop at! Great summer menu with a nice selection! Also an amazing garden area with picnic tables and plenty of room for the kids to roam around. A very relaxed atmosphere

Went for dinner last night with the family and had heard good things. My son had a lobster roll and I had the calamari platter which came with fries. The lobster roll was surprisingly small and seemed to be on a slice of bread. The taste was great but for the price it was less than hoped for. The calamari tasted great but there wasn’t much in comparison to the mountain of fries it was served on. I’ve been to other local restaurants who give you much more calamari for less money. So if you go, don’t go hungry, taste is great but portions are small. The grounds were the best part of the experience, well maintained, picnic tables everywhere which made for a nice outdoor dining experience

A roadside seafood/hot dogish fair, i got the hushpuppies, hot dog w/ chili sauce etc..., and lobster roll. Pretty normal quality. The lobster roll was cooked tender and covered in ample butter, the hot dog was served with it's more onions than were necessary and the chili sauce was obviously Hummel canned chili sauce, not good. The hush puppies were good but small. No fried clams avaible until next Tuesday, not good. The pickle side was a good offering.

We go there A LOT alone over the years for the yummy lobster rolls and sundaes but this time we rented out their new pink shack for my baby shower. They did an absolute beautiful job on the inside. It was so perfect for this type or event. The owner was speedy, responsive, and sufficient. The day was perfect and would 10/10 recommend for your next get together or if you just wanted to stop by for a sweet treat, good food and great atmosphere

Nice little hidden gem.

Atmosphere? You sit outside on a mowed green lawn on the pinic table edge of a beautiful private pond. Awesome fresh whole belly clams.

We were looking for a lobster roll and ended up at Jessica’s Garden. What a cool little spot!! We sat near the pond at a picnic table. You go up to the window to order and they text you when it’s ready. We ordered two lobster rolls, they were delicious!! They do have a small indoor seating area if you go when the weather is not nice, we were lucky to have a beautiful day. Bonus was that we were able to bring our fur baby along!!

It's a beautiful day in Connecticut and I'm in the mood for some outdoor dining, a lobster roll, but I don't wanna fight through the crowds of Captain Scott's Lobster Dock or drive an hour to the shore for any of those places out there. Only about a half-hour away from me is Jessica's Garden. Here's why my wife and I love coming here...

Atmosphere/Appearance: Kind of out in the sticks is this gem, but many benefits of that are that there's private parking and plenty of it. Up the hill from where you park is where you go to order your food. You walk up to the counter to check out the menu or you can order from your phone. Hint, if you check-in on Yelp you may get a coupon to use online! Once you order you won't really be notified so just go to the other window around the corner from where you ordered to pick up your food. There's plenty of picnic table style seating and so much property to explore. There's woods back to check out and this place is just so peaceful. It's also... BYOB. That's what's most important. Lol, especially with a liquor store right up the street.

Service: There really isn't any since you go order your own food then go pick it right back up.

Food: It's a pretty simple menu here. The lobster roll is what you want. Yes, it can be pricy, but lobster just is. However, it's amazing. The lobster is soft, tender, succulent and of course, buttery. You do have to assemble the roll yourself since everything here is sold as a to-go order. It kinda makes sense. I've also had some wings and onion rings here. They're okay, nothing to write home about, but good enough for me to get each time I visit.

Value: Moderate. Easily affordable, nothing crazy and the fact that it's B.Y.O.B. makes it WAY better! Lol.

In conclusion, Jessica's Garden is my duck-off spot where I go if I wanna eat outdoors, am craving a lobster roll and I just wanna chill. Check this place out guys and continue to support these local businesses!

I’ve traveled everywhere, I’ve eaten everything. This place is such a special find! The lobster roll was simple and completely delicious with a generous portion of lobster, and the lobster bisque was also great. My husband enjoyed his “pig pile” sandwich, gave it a 10/10. Huge fans, thank you Jessica’s Garden!

Unfortunately, the 12$ lobster grilled cheese was not good. I had like 2 pieces of lobster on regular white bread. When going here, remember you're paying for the atmosphere.. I recommend getting food somewhere else and then bringing it here to enjoy a picnic. We spent over $55 for 2 lobster grilled cheese and 3 chicken tenders. A total disappointment since we were from Wa state. This place needs to get the food straight to reflect the price. 😵‍💫🤑

* Editing my review. The owners were very kind and reached out with an apology and offered a gift card. I appreciate the good customer service. *

We live in town and have been here a few times. Came on Mother’s Day. We ordered at 5:10. Checked in at 5:45. Was told another 30 minutes. Checked in at 6:15- told 10 more minutes. I still don’t have my food at 6:30. A man came after me, waited less time than me, and was offered a free ice cream. I was offered nothing. Very dissatisfied.
