“ It was far beyond expectation. My husband got the hot lobster roll with cheese. He devoured it. I got the regular lobster roll and there was at least a pound of sweet, fresh Cape Cod lobster. I didn't have a chance to take a picture before I ate every last bite. We brought home whole bellied clams to my parents and rest of family and they enjoyed them very much. It was expensive, but definitely worth it!! ”
“ The establishment provides a picturesque waterfront setting with ample outdoor seating. Although there is no indoor seating, the outdoor tables offer a delightful ambiance for dining. The lobster roll is highly recommended, priced at 32 and accompanied by a generous portion of lobster meat. The quality and quantity of the lobster are exceptional, deserving a five-star rating. The freshness and taste of the lobster are truly remarkable. We discovered this establishment through TikTok and highly recommend it. Due to the generous amount of lobster meat provided, customers often order an additional bun to share at the same price. We anticipate returning next summer. ”
“ This is our go to spot for lobster rolls in the late spring before the summer Cape crowds take over. Great food, great prices, outdoor seating is also great. Onion rings are a must as well. Cash only but there is a privately owned ATM onsite if you forget to hit your bank on the way. Be prepared to stand in line for 30-ish minutes, but worth the wait. ”
“ You will not get a larger lobster roll for the price. This place is an absolute gem. I recommend getting another toasted bun to put some of the lobster meat in, as you get so much. You can effectively get two lobster rolls for the price of one! ”
“ Absolutely outstanding—without question, the best lobster roll I’ve ever had. The only thing that could make the experience even better would be the option to enjoy it with a nice glass of wine. We gladly drive over an hour and a half just for this lobster roll, and it’s worth every mile, every time. ”
“ The biggest and most delicious lobster rolls with an awesome view! Love coming here for the lobster roll and other delicious seafood treats. Fries are perfect as well. Plus, they are allergy helpful. Fast service, delicious food, unbeatable view and plenty of seating and parking. ”
“ Fried clam belly sandwich was delicious!!! The onion rings are one of a kind so crispy and flavorful ”
“ Such a great place for really great fast food! Clam strips and fish and chips were absolutely amazing as was the clam chowder! Great view of the bridge and after you eat you can park in the visitor area across the street and walk the canal! Will definitely be back! CASH only! ATM on site! ”
