Dedicated to the simple yet sublime pleasure of lobster. With a menu that’s stripped down to two simple choices—lobster roll or lobster salad— this spot has a singular focus: delivering the freshest, most flavorful lobster possible.
I went for the lobster roll. The portion is generous, to say the least, as most lobster rolls leave you wishing for a bit more. The bun, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was a little on the dry side, lacking that buttery, toasted crispiness that you expect. I found myself reaching for my water to help it along, which isn’t exactly ideal.
On the side you’ve got house coleslaw, chips, and garlic mayo. The slaw was tasty—creamy and tangy—but could’ve used a bit more of a peppery kick to liven it up. The chips were solid. Initially, I thought they were homemade, but nope—store-bought. Still, they were nice and crunchy, especially when dipped in that fantastic garlic mayo. Honestly, that mayo was the hero that saved the roll. Dip in, and suddenly the bun’s shortcomings were somewhat erased.
The two guys running the place are super kind, attentive, and they clearly care about their customers. They were wiping down tables constantly, keeping everything spotless, which is always a good sign when you're grabbing a quick bite.
It is chill enough for a lunch break, despite being on a main street. It’s not the kind of place you sit and stay—it’s more of a “satisfy your craving and go” spot, and while the bun could use a bit of improvement, the quality of the lobster and the friendly service help to make up for it.
