Had 2 lobster rolls. Probably a pound of lobster each roll. The biggest lobster rolls I’ve ever seen. And I’ve had a lot of lobster rolls. From up and down the east coast, this place had the biggest. Luke’s lobster in NYC was the top slot in my opinion but this joint surpasses that with extra lobster meat. So good. A pound of lobster per roll? I don’t know if that’s what they do, but my stomach felt like that.

Wow just wow. Tonight 7-29-25 ordered 1 meal for dine in on the patio. Party’s of 6 and more came in ordered, ate, and left. While we waited. After over a hour, I had enough, and got my money back.

No frills takeout family run seafood shack with some small outside seating.

Best lobster roll in Jersey just as good as anywhere in New England.

Love this place for their clams casino and soup! Their sauces are to die for and cute dining outdoors!

Need to give a shoutout to Son of a sailor. We went for the first time tonight and we were blown away by the hot lobster rolls. Best we have had - anywhere! Crazy amount of meat and super tasty, perfectly cooked! Don’t hesitate to try it. Amazing!! can’t wait to go back - was told they are open through October 12!

Whatever you are doing, do not stop. You put out the absolute best food. I was halfway thru my dinner, dancing around the kitchen, when I told my wife and kids I was going to leave a Google review because the food is so good. Keep up the awesome work!!

Both the hot and cold lobster rolls are to die for. I would drive here from anywhere just for them. Not cheap, but oh, so worth it. Roll is overstuffed with fresh, tender, delicately (perfectly) seasoned lobster claw meat. Huge chunks of it. Never had another lobster roll like it, soooo delicious. Zero fillers. Staff is friendly, seating is only outdoor picnic tables and some basic courtyard seating, but it's fine; you are here for the awesome food!!!

The food was really good, delicious. The outdoor eating area is very basic, picnic tables and plastic forks bring down the total experience a bit.

Best seafood joint I've had the pleasure of dining at, in this area.
Food: tasty, fresh, and good serving sizes. Other places tend to overcompensate for mediocre quality by overseasoning food and salting it heavily. At Son of. Sailor, however, the flavor of the fresh seafood comes first! The flounder, scallops, shrimp, and clams I had were all super fresh and were perfectly seasoned. The scallops, especially, had such a nice sweet, mellow, savory flavor.

Service: staff were friendly and were able to give me suggestions on what to get! Had to wait a little bit for the food but the food I got was well worth it.

The price was decent, especially for the area.

The outdoor dining area was clean!

Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for delicious seafood for a reasonable price.
