About The Hungry Lobster

The Hungry Lobster is a restaurant known for its delicious seafood options, particularly the clam chowder, lobster rolls, and lobster bisque. They also offer a unique lobster-plus-clam chowder and a variety of non-seafood sandwiches. The restaurant is praised for its creativity, attention to detail, and excellent service. Their baked goods, such as muffins and cookies, are also popular. The seafood is always fresh, and the staff is friendly and super sweet, often going out of their way to help. Customers frequently comment on how kind the staff is, even when busy. The clam chowder is served in a large, fluffy bowl, generously loaded with lobster, and many say it is unreal, especially with sherry butter on top. The lobster rolls are highly recommended, featuring warm butter and a hint of sherry, with huge chunks of perfectly cooked lobster that are overflowing. The atmosphere has a seacoast vibe, with plenty of tables and casual self-seating. Located in Rye harbor, the restaurant reopens in June. Visitors from different places have described it as their favorite stop along the coast, especially loving the chowder and lobster rolls. Some have enjoyed trying the Chowder Fluff, calling it the best clam chowder and lobster they ever had. Parking can be tricky, but friendly staff often help with parking issues. Customers also enjoy the lobster mac n cheese, which they add a splash of milk to before eating, making it even better. Many say the large Lobster bisque tastes far better than it smells and is something you’ll feel guilty for eating all of. The fluffy chowder is a must-try, and the restaurant is a cute little take-out place with a few spots to sit. Overall, The Hungry Lobster offers fresh seafood, friendly service, and a memorable seaside dining experience. Visitors are encouraged to visit before the end of the season.
