Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls

A Maryland Seafood Chain Brings Maine Lobster to Downtown Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Opening its first West Coast location in Downtown Seattle on August 4, Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls—founded in Annapolis, Maryland, in 2014—is known for a signature fluffy roll loaded with Maine lobster meat that can be served hot with warm butter, chilled with lemon butter, or with bacon, lettuce, and tomato; it also serves shrimp rolls and clam chowder along with other lobster dishes like lobster mac and cheese, lobster grilled cheese, lobster bisque, and lobster salad. The chain expanded quickly across southern East Coast states and into Colorado, Texas, and Arizona, and though it doesn’t yet have much name recognition on the West Coast, it’s likely to be a hit among Seattle’s seafood-obsessed diners. There will be a grand opening event on August 4 at the restaurant, located at 1307 1st Avenue, a short walk from Pike Place Market and across from the Seattle Art Museum." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart
