When you can’t get something out of your head, when it’s got your grey matter in a chokehold, you find a way to have it again at all costs.
Tasting perfection changes a person, wouldn’t you agree?
Now, the above is applicable to many things in life. In this case, my brain was at a standstill last weekend after having one of the most balanced lobster rolls and lobster bisques that I’ve had in recent months. So much so that I scrambled to catch them again this weekend before they closed for the season.
Kudos to the Ladies at the Rye Harbor Lobster Pound for continuously churning out well-seasoned generously stuffed rolls, unctuous bisques and loaded chowders.
Get your roll hot (Sherry Butter, what? Take my money) or cold (crunch of celery, perfect amt of mayo, hint of citrus…come on); cannot go wrong w/ either.
And please, no skipping their trademarked Fluffy Chowder — your stomach, your soul, and yes, even your brain will thank you for pampering them w/ the riches of the sea.
Extra: They currently have some of the better prices for lobsters/lb that I’ve seen, for ex. Select Lobsters at 2+ lbs for ~$12.00/lb.
Check their socials for when they’ll be open again; however, I did just see that they have a baby sister location a short distance away at 919 Washington Rd, Rye, called “The Hungry Lobster” with an even larger menu…Oh, that’s dangerous.
Oh my goodness. Lobster, Lobster, Lobster and plenty of it. Had the bisque and roll. Delicious and nice sunset on marina

Very nice place on the water but you need to find a picnic table if available always well visited. The fluffy chowder is to die for

The lobster bisque is amongst the very best in New England, 10/10. Lobster & clams were fresh & cooked well.
Warning: This is not a restaurant per se, just a take out shack with a few picnic tables nearby. No shell cracker utensils, no small implement to get lobster out of the shell. I literally had to use 2 rocks on the ground to crack into our lobsters & im from Maine & have been eating lobster for 4+ decades. Just know what you’re getting into if you buy a steamed lobster here for eating here. I would probably opt for a lobster roll as a good 2nd option.
Great place for getting takeout if staying nearby where you had table, utensils, plates, paper towels & soap/water to wash your hands after eating shellfish by hand

The best lobster bisque in New England! The lobster rolls, hot or cold, are chock full of lobster cooked to perfection. The folks that work there could not be any friendlier. My wife and I love to eat at the Rye Lobster Pound at least 2 or 3 times over the summer. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
It is not a diner in place but this is THE BEST lobster, clams, or chowder you will find anywhere. They are amazingly efficient when it comes to getting the orders out. You may think it is going to be a long wait but ice cream shops take longer!

The food and service was outstanding. I came here to try the fluffy chowder, and when I sat down it slipped out of my hands. I stood back in line to buy another cup, but the staff were awesome and just gave me another cup. That service is hard to find, so it meant a lot to me.

The staff at the Rye Lobster Pound were very friendly and inviting. We enjoyed ordering from a place supporting local fisherman with local catch. The steamers were cooked to order and very tasty, with plenty of butter. The Fluffy Chowder is packed with both lobster and clams and is delicious. This is a takeout shack, but there is seating available in the area. Be prepared to pay $10 to park in the commercial wharf, or take advantage of the limited free 30-min parking and get your order to go. Highly recommend!
Great food. Lobster bisque was awesome!
