We missed out on eating here on our first visit, it was fall, they were closed! On another trip through NH, we were about 2 hours away and we made the decision to detour just for the lobster rolls. Was it worth it? Heck, yeah! I gobbled down two of those rolls that were stuffed with chunks of decadent lobster and coated in buttery goodness.

Fantastic place for a lobster rolls and fresh local sea food.

Places like these embody the spirit of New England. The kindest workers in a small simple sea shack in the loveliest area of New Hampshire, and lobster you’ll remember forever. Generous in heart and generous in portions. I loved having fresh lobster while listening to the waves crash, boats knock against the dock, and seagulls calling.

Stopped by for some fresh lobster in early October, made it the weekend before seasonal closing, so was happy about that. The two ladies working the counter and steamer were all business, but smiling and helpful.

We had a 1.5# whole lobster steamed, a lobster roll, a pound of steamers and a bowl of chowder with lobster chunks on top.

Sat at the Harborside tables and enjoyed the fresh food in sunshine and a cool breeze.

Would go back for the food. The $5 parking and attendant was a scam, and not worth it. Better to tell them you’ll take your food with you and stop along the shore side overlooks.

Amazing seafood. We got one cold and one hot lobster roll. The cold one is mayo based, and the hot one is butter based. The roll was amazingly buttered and had SO much lobster meat on top, and for $29 each!Extremely pleased. We also tried the steamers, fluffy clam chowder, and lobster bisque. Everything was absolutely amazing and was exactly what I was craving. The seating is all outside and is limited, so be mindful if you’re going during busy season. Regardless, 10/10 seafood shack.

Awesome little lobster shack halfway between Boston & Portland. You get to drive through beautiful Hampton, NH if you’re coming from Boston which is a treat in itself. The lobster roll is fantastic I just wish it stayed together but all the butter just decimates the bun. The fluffy chowder is a nice twist on chowder with a lobster bisque vibe to it. Worth trying if you like both soups. Fair prices and a huge parking lot.

Easily the best Lobster Bisque I’ve ever had! The base was very flavorful and there was plenty of tender lobster meat. I’ll definitely be making the trip again.

Excellent warm buttered lobster roll. The roll is going to break apart because it drinks up the butter. My only complaint is no French fries. They give you a bag of chips.

The Best Lobster Roll we have ever had. Hands down!
The lobster was the most luscious, juicy, sweet, flavorful lobster meat we've ever had in a lobster roll. And, they give you plenty of lobster meat. Out of this world. Staff was super nice. We will
come back every time we are in town.

I drove up here for lunch from Providence and it was wonderful. It’s a very small place and looks to be run by a close knit group of folks or family members who are all very nice. I got the lobster bisque and a lobster roll…both were delicious. The lobster roll had so much lobster piled on top of it that it was falling over the edges, which was very nice and a fantastic problem to have. I have definitely bookmarked this place for future visits up the coast and look forward to my next cup of soup and lobster roll.
