When I asked for an estimate on the wait, the host requested I ask the people waiting. Horrible customer service. Went elsewhere for lunch.

Party of four enjoying hot and cold super stuffed Lobster Rolls. Some of the best Boston has to offer. Wicked good service, both types sandwiches served with a excellent side of Arugula salad (lemon style dressing) or french fries. Other patrons enjoyed a wide and tasty variety of oysters and cocktails.
There was a line for a table, however the food was well worth the 40 minute wait for lunch. We met a few nice people while we waited.

Fantastic food. Line ups form early but worth the wait.

Great tasting food if you’re willing to wait! The place essentially has an hour long line outside most of the time that you have to stand in if you want to get in.
Aside from the long wait times, the experience was great! I had some of the BEST calamari of my life here! The lobster roll was also tasty.

One of the best restaurants in the city. The line moves very quickly. Excellent service. The oysters are among the best I've tried, fresh, and the other dishes are a delight.

Holy delicious. Found this on a whim and stood outside for ~25/30 mins (high traffic hours - party of 2) but if was so so so worth it. The wine, food and flavor was superb. We split the tuna tartare and a burger for lunch with 8 oysters each and both agreed we would come back to Boston for that spot alone. The prices are higher but it is because the quality is outstanding. I gasped when the oyster drawer opened

Oysters were so fresh and tasty. Great variety. Lobsters were so good with the fries, but I heard you can't go wrong with the salad either. Clam chowder was a bit watery compared to the other ones I've had but the clams in the soup were so good. Waitresses were so nice and friendly.

Everything every other review has said. Clam chowder had a lot of meat but it was a little watery compared to others. Didn't love the johny cake.

A must go-to restaurant in Boston! Their food was fresh and delicious. Their waitresses were knowledgeable about their menu and made great recommendations. Their clam chowder had a thinner broth which is different than what I had before. It was very pleasant and tasty. Don’t waste your money on lobster rolls anywhere else! The lobster roll was amazing!!!! I cannot wait to return to Neptune when I visit Boston next time.

We always make a trip to Neptune when we visit Boston. It easily has the freshest and most delicious oysters in the Boston area. Staff are always super fun, and we love the cozy atmosphere. Really appreciated the staff picks on our oysters that day! Clam chowder here is always made to order, so a little thinner than most typical chowders but still packed with flavor and clams! Reminder that they don't take reservations here, so be sure to either show up early (prior to opening) to be towards the front of the line, or go during non-peak hours to avoid a long line. Either way, always worth the wait. Highly recommend the lobster roll and scallops as well! Honestly can't go wrong with anything here. 10/10

I don’t think it is worth the wait or the price. The lobster roll was OK. The clam chowder was better, but wasn’t great. The seafood was fishy and the soup had huge chunks of potatoes. The fries were the highlight of the meal. Our server was lovely, but the place is small and crowded. I live in the gulf south and am more accustomed to fresh seafood which likely contributed to my experience. The oysters looked great, but we have those frequently so I skipped it which may have been a mistake. Other patrons seemed to enjoy those.

We had to wait about an hour, but it was worth it in the end. The food was good, though a bit on the pricey side for what you get. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite meet expectations—the server wasn’t very friendly, which took away from the overall experience.
