It's a lobster sandwich, not a lobster roll. The lobster sandwich is always fresh. I love that the bread is toasted lightly buttered. It's scali bread, not a ton of mayonnaise, which, allows you to taste the yummy, fresh lobster. It's filling, and I love the utz kettle chips to go with it. The people who are at the counter are super nice.

Lobster. Bisque and clam chowder are exceptional

Can’t miss this for fresh seafood at very reasonable prices
Very very healthy , it’s all steamed and the soups are made with real butter and cream
None of that fake flour thickening

Food is absolutely fantastic and service is fast

The birds also like the breads

I delivered a load in Boston and decided that I wanted to try some authentic Boston clam chowder before I left town...

I searched Google and found this place and I'm so glad that I did. The chowdah is phenomenal!

The food was so good that I wanted to go back for the lobster roll to take on the road, but they were closed. 🥺

This is a must stop for me whenever I'm in town. Check it out, you won't regret it.

I had the lobster sandwich, it was a lot of lobster but flavorless; the toasted white bread added the element of dryness. It’s a local spot, you’d miss it if you were just driving by and parking wasn’t the best. I wouldn’t go back but it was a cute try spot. I’ve never had lobster that didn’t taste like lobster, but for $32 I was going to eat it. 3/10 wouldn’t do again.

Want a really good lobster roll and a truly authentic taste of New England? Skip the usual tourist traps around town and get the freshest lobstah sandwich this side of the Charles River. Talk about perfect lobster meat to bread ratio (see pic)… And don’t forget to try the crab salad and lobster bisque, too! All guaranteed to hit the spot.👌🏾

The clam chowder was pretty good. The lobster sandwich was a bit disappointing. Not much flavor. The bathroom is a porta potty, which is suboptimal. Seemed a bit expensive for what you get. There are a bunch of trash cans by the street which smell pretty bad.

It is no frills and delicious. There is very little parking so plan accordingly.

Their lobster salad sandwich is a special treat: a mound of lobster meat scantily contained by two slices of toasted and buttered white bread.
