Reviews of Lobster Landing

Thank the Good Lord that we only live 4.1 miles away from Lobster Landing. We have also worked out an annual budget to ensure that we can meet our goal of lobster once a week. Let’s get to the food. The half lb roll is a must. Save up. Eat ramen the rest of the week. I don’t care what you do just treat yo self. The Italian sausage with peppers and onions is locally made and hearty. The lobster bisque is my go to. The clam chowder is excellent. Pros: where you can land buttery hot lobster in your mouth while soaking up the N.E. coast, casual, quick, friendly staff Cons: price hikes every year (but probably should get used to it), the old wooden railings get in the way of the fabulous view Go for lunch, bring a hundo and your sunglasses, split a half pounder and enjoy.

Lemme start by saying WOW! This place is a gem! The lobster roll was finger kicking good.....like savor every bite good.....yummm!! It was a lil expensive but you get what you pay for. At $26, I would so buy it again! I love that you can bring your dogs here and the staff love seeing them. The outdoor seating area overlooks the harbor/marina. Love it!! I went back for the New England Clam Chowder today and boy, it didn't disappoint either!! Goodness, it was so delicious!

Lobster is a food that is close to my heart. That being said, while I ate qt Lobster Landing, my heart felt so much joy. The lobster roll was Perfect. The coleslaw, amazing. I loved the choice of bread. The amount of lobster. The buttery sweetness. Food like this makes me believe humanity isn't all bad. I will be coming here every moment I'm able. 100/10. After we each finished our rolls, we had to go back to order one more. Utter perfection.

Stopped by to check out the lobster rolls on a rainy day a few weeks back. Ordered a lobster roll and clam chowder. They put butter and lemon on the lobster roll, wrapped it in foil so it was steamy and kinda soggy by the time you're ready to eat it. Lobster was in fairly smallish chunks and tasted okay but lacked a little flavor. The real star of the show was the chowder, yum! We ordered another portion it was that good - tasty, tender clams and the soup wasn't too thick. The view is nice and it's BYOB, which is a definite plus. Would be 5 stars if they don't wrap the lobster rolls and put butter on the side so it's nice and crisp.

Lovely place on the water and is busy all year round. Very generous serving of lobster in a long roll. Sausage and peppers are top notch, and the clam chowder ( NE style ) is probably the best I’ve EVER had anywhere on the shore. Lots of seating and space to enjoy delicious food and the service is always very friendly!

After a day at the Clinton Shopping Outlets (about 5 minutes away) we wanted to have a quick meal before hitting the road. We happened upon this lovely, outdoor, fast/casual restaurant right on the water. Make sure you go on a nice day because there is limited covered seating. There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant so we found parking easily, however, as it got closer to the dinner rush we could see that the lot was filling up. You approach two structures, one of which is their fresh fish market and one is their actual restaurant. We wanted to sample a lot of the menu so my husband and I ordered pretty much everything except the salad. The lobster roll: delicious and fresh lobster meat prepared with butter (not mayo) which we loved. The portion was quite good for the $20 price point it was reasonable. The bread could have afforded to be toasted a touch more as the butter made the bread soft and almost soggy pretty quickly. This may have been caused by the delay of our order held up by the sausage sandwich order we placed which the restaurant staff said takes time. I have a feeling the lobster was sitting while the sausage was being cooked which might not have happened otherwise. The sausage sandwich: sausage was quite good but the peppers on top needed seasoning. It was probably only prepared with a bit of oil and tiny bit of salt. The mustard sauce they put on tasted good but it was a thinner sauce and it probably needed more of the sauce due to the thinness of the sauce. They provided a mustard packet which we used and helped with the overall flavor. Clam chowder: Yum! Star of the show! I'd come back just for this! I really enjoyed the creaminess, the perfect potato portion, and the clam bits and flavor that was packed into this bowl. I was pleasantly surprised and appreciated the portion size because when I order clam chowder I'm often disappointed by the price point vs the portion size offered. Cole slaw: We did not like this at all. It was a vinegar based slaw but it completely lacked flavor. Would not recommend this and would not order this again. The hot dog: decent sized hot dog and bun. It was not the small cheapy hot dog that I expected. They provided packets of ketchup, mustard, and relish in the bag as well. Overall, loved the lobster roll and clam chowder, would definitely come back for these items again!

We got our lobster rolls and took them back to the beach house that we were renting. They were fast prepared and wrapped up ready to travel. The location looked really nice, we'll have to come back and sit sometime.  The lobster roll was fantastic. For a group from outside New England it just looks like some lobster on bread and it is but OMG is it good. I am sad that I live so far away and can't get another one right now.

May 23, 2014 · by thegirlwhoateboston · in Restaurants · 2 Comments Neither of us could remember how Lobster Landing is a waterfront shack. Ocean view speckled with boats and docks, see-through plastic to brace against the sea breeze, floor of crushed shells, menu on a dry-erase board, fishermen at the table next to us chatting about crayfish. My boyfriend took the first bite and said, “Nic, I think we just found the Frank Pepe ’s of lobster rolls.” He was right. “Why is all the best food in Connecticut” I asked. “And why are

I wasn’t intentionally on the quest to find the ultimate lobster roll, but it found me anyway. For years, I’ve heard  Lobster Landing  in Clinton makes the meanest roll on the Shoreline, but like the New Yorker who hasn’t trekked to the top of the Empire State Building ($20 for the elevator ride!), I’d never been. Driving back from Madison the other perfect summer day, lobster for lunch seemed like a good idea. That’s how I found myself in a short line at the outside grill at Lobster Landing and a few minutes later, munching the perfect roll...

The next day the rain has not let up. Not a good day to go to the beach, or take a hike or even sightsee, but it’s a good day to find some Lobster. A quick internet search gives us a list from Yankee Magazine of the top twelve lobster shacks in New England, and low and behold Lobster Landing is just down the road WOO HOO! Technically speaking, Lobster Landing isn't even a shack. It’s a ramshackle, 100-year-old, wood-frame shanty by the water selling lobsters, oysters, and steamer clams to take home and cook. The adjacent food trailer sells three items: hot dogs, sausage pepper onion subs and hot lobster rolls plus bags of chips and soda that you fetch yourself from a cooler near the order counter. Seating is in a makeshift dining area on cheap plastic chairs and tables on a broken clamshell deck under a plastic tent.

Lobster Roll jackpot!!. Large roll, soft bread, just enough butter, juicy and tender lobster meat all made fresh on the spot and with attentive, family friendly service. Simple fare yet prepared with lots of love. What an amazingly good roll! And, the skinless hot dog with kraut or cheese and sides of relish and onions is so good. They are famous, too, for their Sausage and Peppers/Onion rolls. They stay open until New Year's Eve day . Once the crowds leave after Labor Day, they always have a seat available.
