We ordered takeout so this review is based solely on the food we received and not service. We ate it 10min away so the food was still warm and fresh.
We ordered a new Englander, clam chowdah, and the fish box.
The lobster roll was okay overall. The roll was nice and soft and had a slight sweetness that went well with the lobster. The lobster itself felt very firm and chewy. We got the $2 extra butter but felt like it didn't add too much so it wasn't necessary. The clam chowdah was thin and didn't feel substantial in terms of fillings. Overall a bit bland as well.
The fish in the fish box was juicy, flaky and had a crunchy exterior, which was nice but also felt under salted. I'm not sure if we were supposed to grab our own tartar sauce or if it was forgotten, but it probably would have been much better if I had a tarter sauce with it.

Overall not great. Lobster was tough and shrimp overcooked. Nothing had any flavor. We ate because we were hungry but it was a very disappointing meal.

Lobster rolls were great. Price was too high - $44 for a lobster roll is a bit to much, however the lobster rolls is incredible and comes with a lot of high quality lobster meat. I’ve never seen this much lobster in a roll. Atmosphere and serving weren’t great. If you charge $44 for a lobster roll - at least serve it in a real plate with real utensils and not a plastic basket with plastic utensils

Do not get the lobster Mac and cheese. It has no taste. The bow tie noodles taste watery. There’s barely any lobster. Very underwhelmed and regret it

Really delicious food! I got the lobster grilled cheese and it comes with fries. It is made with sourdough bread and everything tasted very fresh. It’s a rather small place so it may be hard to find seating during lunch rush but other than that it was amazing!!

Nice outside dining if the weather is good. Burgers and lobster rolls are delicious but it is a popular spot on weekends so waiting for food can be an issue at times. Expect cute birds to watch you eat

The lobster roll was decent but for the price you can def get better and the lobster mac and cheese was so expensive for some sorry mac and cheese and maybe 3 pieces of lobster meat. Kraft mac and cheese would have been better... not to mention we waited over 45 min for our food??? I saw 3 tables get seated and served before our food came out? And we all ordered lobster rolls???? Hello???? Unhelpful and unfriendly staff, overpriced food, and its not even that good. If you MUST come here stick to the roll.

Had a horrible experience. Waited for more than 40 minutes for our food while other groups who ordered after us got the same exact items we ordered before us. The Mac and cheese was 25 dollars but a 2min microwaved Kraft mac and cheese would’ve been 10x better. The lobster rolls were okay, but the service was so slow and so inattentive I would never return. Would give 0 stars if possible.

It was pretty disappointing. The clam chowder had very few clams and potatoes and was so watery. I couldn’t believe a bowl cost almost $10. The lobster roll was decent. The lobster meat was fresh but the bun was not toasted or buttered so we just ate the lobster meat out of it. The crab cake was so bad we had to ask for a refund. It smelled off and tasted foul. I’m not sure why the reviews are so high for this place.

Ordered their lobster mac and it was the worst thing i’ve ever tasted. they only give you lobster LEGS that are tasteless. there’s barely any cheese for the mac and they used bow tie pasta. 0/10
