I thought my roll was going to be warm and in butter but it was cold and in mayo. Thankfully it wasn't much mayo at all and it was still very delicious. The bisque was very good!!! I was happy with my lunch, albeit pricey, but I would go elsewhere next time I want a lobster roll. 🦞 The staff is very nice!

Nice host/order taker. 1st time there....the rolls were small. I'm a New Englander and the roll was good but for $25 there was only about .25 lb of meat if that. They do offer extra if you want more.
Whoopie pie was good.

I had the Classic Lobster Roll for lunch, along with coleslaw and kettle cooked chips for my two sides. The lobster roll is a little pricey at $21, but super delicious, melt in your mouth buttery lobster and roll. The coleslaw was also super! Definitely worth a little splurge!!

A bit expensive but so delicious! Even though the lobster roll looks kind of small, it's quite filling(especially if you ordered a side salad). As a bonus, you can order here, walk 5 min, and have a dinner with a breathtaking sunset view.

DELICIOUS! I ordered the Nor’easter (lobster roll shrimp roll & crab roll - all junior sized and it’s perfectly seasoned and the toast is crunchy and buttery) with the $10 flight of 3 soups (crab, New England clam chowder & lobster bisque). Chill music playing.

The New England Clam Chowder was like Heaven 👍!! The Crab 🦀 and Lobster 🦞 Rolls were Seasoned to Perfection !! So Yummy 😋!!

Great experience and great food. Ordered two of the Boss Lobster Rolls. The buns were nicely toasted and buttered and the "Boss" option meant they were stuffed with lobster! Great ambiance, sitting on the deck/walkway outside of the restaurant. Was supposed that the lobster met itself was chilled and not warmed, but it was still great--another nice dining option for when we're in that area.

Service was quick.and.friendly.
I thought Lobster rolls were supposed to be hot with butter and that's what I was most excited for but IT WASNT. 😔
I Researched it later and apparently they are both served hot and cold just in General. But I don't know if the place will do a hot one.?
They did not ask me which I preferred which they might want to consider too.
I also thought because it's Seafood. I might get an automatic butter cup but no dice. I also ordered to go and they did not give me any utensils or napkins by default. But they did have plenty available near the exit.
They have 3 levels of meat stuffing for more or less money and I got the largest size crab roll, and compared to other rolls I've had it seemed normal sized if that. The meat was also coming way more out of the top than it was actually inside the roll. Even though it was cold it still did taste good .I just would've much preferred it with hot lemon butter.
I know Seafood and especially shellfish are expensive and seasonally priced but I felt like the price was too much for the experience. About17% too much. Not many people were there so maybe it's not much of a local favorite.
