Good lawddddd. Im sitting in my car, reeling from this food coma. These rolls are PHENOMENAL. Got the Connecticut and it did not disappoint. Lobster was fresh, perfectly cooked & a good portion and paired with a soft and mildly sweet Texas toast. Lobster Mac n cheese was delish too. There was 2 young girls there and they were very kind and hooked me up with some free soup! Tried the clam chowder and bisque both bomb but the clam chowder reigns supreme. Can’t want to come back. ??

Absolute incredible lobster roll. 5/5 lobster roll for only $20. Spoke with the worker who informed me they are family owned - you should stop by here!

We were here two months ago. We had to go to Reston, today, and went back for more if their perfect lobster rolls! Many places overwhelm the lobster with mayonnaise, which masks the taste of the lobster. Not here! They do it right! It has become our go to lunch place when we have to go to Reston.

My wife and I eat lunch here when we need to come to Reston. Best lobster rolls I've ever had. Too many places smother the lobster with too much mayonnaise, destroying the delicate taste. Here, they have perfected the lobster rolls!

Stopped in with a friend and we both ordered CT rolls with a side of lobster bisque. There were four small tables so we took a seat and grabbed our drinks- I really enjoyed my blueberry soda. Trays came out and first thing I noticed was no lemons which I thought was really odd and definitely something I felt the roll lacked- also weird that every picture of a lobster roll in the restaurant has a lemon wedge on it. The lobster itself was fresh and delicious but could have used a splash of season salt- without any lemon or green onion or any flavor it sort of just felt like eating lobster on mushy bread- it was missing a snap to it that I usually expect. Lobster bisque is advertised as topped with lobster chunks and neither mine or my friends had an ounce of lobster in it, also needed salt and pepper. We were pretty disappointed by no chunks in the bisque and bland flavor, we tossed both of ours a few bites in. Food was very fairly priced but would not return for bland food that's not served as advertised. Also, not somewhere I'd recommend to sit down- place is smaller than a coffee shop and we got to listen to some vaguely racist old lady whine about every worker involved in her kitchen renovation throughout our meal.

Being a Mainer, I can't believe I finally settled for subpar lobster rolls. I wish I was closer to home, the only place I have had lobster cooked properly. This is my first time here and I caved and spent $120 on food, picked it up, and brought it home. If I had eaten in the restaurant I would've asked for my money back. I had almost mistaken the lobster roll for a car tire. It was so overcooked it was almost inedible. Sigh. Then onto the potato salad, it was like one tablespoon serving. Where's the rest??? Anyways, wish I could get my money back as it definitely wasn't worth the amount spent. I won't be dining here again.

I am giving this place 1 star because I showed up before their closing time by a whole 15 min and I was still denied service because they’re no longer taking orders at this time. If you’re no longer taking orders then you should say you’re closing at 7:30pm rather than 8:00pm because if you close at 8:00 then that’s when you should stop taking orders especially that you’re just preparing lobster rolls. Like I would understand if you’re preparing full meals to stop taking orders at 7:30 but a simple lobster roll and you couldn’t make me just one when I walked into your place 15 minutes before close? Not a very good impression! I also read many many reviews saying this place is way overpriced! I guess I lucked out by not being served! Probably not coming here again!

I ordered a Connecticut roll and was given a classic roll. When I told them issue, they told me that I had to pay for a new roll if I wanted the Connecticut roll. So I had to buy a new roll…when I got my new roll, the woman at the counter was incredibly smug about it.

I had the lobster grilled cheese, and it was pretty good. A little on the salty side, but good. Perhaps next time, I should ask for light salt. Great service, and they have a special going on.

I ordered a classic roll to go toasted with a pickle on side. The bun was perfectly crispy and buttery creamy. It had a good amount of lobster. The classic of course has mayo which made it creamy and the lemon to balance that out. Overall it was perfect. I would definitely come back to try their different versions of the lobster roll. I like how they just specialize in one item and perfect it.Inside is a few tables to sit if you want. It's right next to hells kitchen fish & chips

I stopped in on a Monday around 7:30p. There was no one else dining in at the time. The place is small, I want to say 3-4 tables but it’s clean. There’s a courtyard down the street if you want to take your food and eat outside when the weather is nice.I was greeted quickly and my food came out fast too. The staff was friendly. I ordered one of the daily specials-lobster roll with soup and a drink. I got the Connecticut version of the lobster roll. It was very good. There was definitely a lot of lobster meat and the roll was perfect. The soup was ok, I got the lobster bisque.If you’re in the mood for a lobster roll, give it a try.Parking: There is some metered parking on the street but quite a few parking garages at this mall. You can pay by app. And weekends are free - the garages are free anyway, not sure on the meters.

Due to some physical challenges, we were not able to park at the garage and walk over since there was no parking on the street right outside. The two young people who took our phone order offered to bring it out to the car. Cannot say enough about the quality of the food, the portion size and the overall deliciousness of both the lobster roll and the bisque. The kindness and caring of the two young people who brought it out was touching. They even didn't want to take a tip. Heard about this place from a tick tocker and I'm very glad that we made the trip over to Reston since we were visiting family in Loudoun County from Pittsburgh. Y'all need to come to the Burgh!
