Absolutely loved my lobster roll... Huge! Delicious and filling! Well worth the price, also try the lobster bisque, it's divine!

Delicious and fresh lobster rolls! The restaurant is 100 years old. Can’t beat the gorgeous views just behind the restaurant.

Excellent lobster salad roll. Honestly, my favorite in Boston so far. Full of lobster and perfect bun. I also enjoyed the “Frozé” frozen drink. A great stop as you explore the seaport district.

Lobster rolls with butter was alright but not the best in the city for us.

And this place takes the cake for me.
In Boston for a few days on business and this spot was a top rec, but hard to get to given the limited service hours. Finally made it on a random weekday afternoon. There was a line of 20+ out the door. I considered that a good sign.
Service went fast and I was able to order a crab cake and some of the lobster bisque. That crab cake was mouthwatering kinds of good. Would love a few more! The bisque was also super delicious, though no large chunks of lobster were present. In a competitive lobster environment, perhaps I was a little picky.
Anyway, prices were really fair and food came out quickly. Getting a seat was a little challenge given how busy it was. Just be warned most options are outside and uncovered. On a beautiful fall day, it was amazing.
The food here is amazing! We shared a large lobster roll and a crab cakes. The crab cakes was the best I have ever had. Loved the local IPAs. There isn't really much to the atmosphere during the day. They did have music but really it was just traffic and honking horns that you can hear. No indoor bathroom!!

The warm lobster roll was absolutely delicious, especially dipped in the butter. The clam chowder was great with the little crackers (enough to share between 2).
The jumbo lump crab cake was probably my favourite. Lots of old bay seasoning, lots of crab and a nice crisp coating. Very good!
The tools to eat the whole lobster weren’t ideal (would ideally be given better tools and a different plate) but it tasted really good.
The service was quite slow to order (we were there on a weekday lunch hour which might explain it). But once we ordered we got our food fairly quickly.
The seating outside could be a bit better and we had to try multiple times to find napkins. Also there was only 1 bathroom (a portable toilet outside) which isn’t ideal either.
Also you have to queue outside when a third of the restaurant is taken up by an office which seems like a wasted space.
Overall a good experience but could be better.

I ordered the regular lobster with butter. It's pretty small, it's just bread with lobster and butter. The lobster is unseasoned and since the bread is so small, there are quite a few bites that are simple. We stood in line for 15 minutes and the seating space was not comfortable. It is also quite expensive for (1) the quality and (2) the portion. I wouldn't go back

If you're looking for a legit lobster roll and clam chowder without the frills, this is the place to hit. A bit of a divey experience--they basically have a food truck and a little indoor trailer for food and bottled drinks. Outdoor seating that gets taken up quick when it's nice outside. But the food is excellent, so worth the stop.
