Houston PressApril 15, 2015Try the foot long lobster roll, stacked with hunks of plump, fresh from Maine lobster meat, the sandwich comes simply dressed with lemon-aoili, salt and pepper between a crisp, buttery griddled bun. Read more
ᴡ JohnstonAugust 31, 2013I am going to Maine in October and one of the highlights is the food. Lobster Rolls, Clam Chowder, and Whoopie Pie. Uniquely Maine. Until now. Two locations in Houston and a real hit. Try it!
Mary KuehJune 27, 2015Lobster rolls here are delicious! Bread is crispy & fluffy, & lobster is cooked perfectly. You can sometimes even get a Groupon for a lobster roll meal with a side of clam chowder & taffy for dessert!
Abel SanchezOctober 16, 2013Come ready. It's not cheap. But neither are Lobsters! (1/2 a roll is not very filling and it's $20 for the full). Should be expected when having such an authentic sandwich. Very delicious!!!
Gracey S.October 7, 2017Lobster roll has good chunks of lobster. 1/2 roll costs $14 and it will not fill you up. Clam Chowder $10. My daughter really loved it and I did too. Will come back again.Hard to find parking though
Geri DruckmanFebruary 9, 2014If you're already here go for the special roll, lobster roll or crab roll. Both delicious, and you can get a turkey sandwich anywhere else, so do the right thing, lobster or crab!
Maine native here. So glad I can get a great lobster roll within walking distance to my house! Also, check out their soups, lobster mac n' cheese and beers from Maine.
Russell GuessJanuary 17, 2014The Lobster Roll is $10 for a half a sandwich. Let's remember tho...this is real lobster...and it's GREAT!!! Worth every penny! Soup was great too! Finish it off with a whoopie pie!!!
Gil G ⚡June 25, 2015If you want to feel like you're eating a lobster roll fresh from the North Atlantic, off the coast of Maine, this place is the place to do it here in Houston.
Lahb-stah rolls are what it's all about here. The clam strips and lemonade are also good and deserve an honorable mention.
Christy LandesOctober 14, 2014Half lobster roll and cup of bisque. Both outstanding. Lobster was rich but not chewy, very fresh tasting. Roll was buttered and grilled, very tasty.
Brandon SteinSeptember 15, 2013Fresh lobster rolls flown in from Maine. Regular size is large, go with the half order along w chips and a drink. You'll be set, and about $13 in the red.
Scott FisherDecember 1, 2017It is a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients are absolutely worth it. Keep your eye out for Groupons to help with the cost.
Walter RamirezJuly 28, 2017Great place and everything is soooo delicious! Best chowder and bisque ever!
Best Lobster Roll I have ever had in my life!! Chunky, fresh lobster wrapped in a slightly buttered, toasted bread roll. 👌 Perfect.- With lobster flown in fresh from Maine daily, the lobster roll is the only way to go.
Authentic lobster rolls. Trat yourself with a Maine-iac on the weekend (Fri/Sat)- a whole lobster on a roll.- Samah AlsammahiFebruary 4, 2018The lobster rolls & clam chowder are so good. Stay away from the fries. However it is too expensive for the amount of lobster you get in your roll. One of rolls had barely any lobster meat in it.
Danielle McCormickAugust 21, 2013The lobster sandwich is so good. You'll be sad if you just order the half. Splurge and go for the whole sandwich!
Jan JordanJuly 6, 2015Lobster rolls....lobster bisqu....homemade lemonade.....salt water taffy. Great Maine Coast ambiamce.....
Really excellent lobster rolls. They definitely know how to cook lobster. So yummy!
Michael HarrisonDecember 28, 2013It's no Luke Lobsters, but it's pretty damn good. Better than anything you'll find in Kemah or Galveston. Staff attitude and service attentiveness needs improvement, but you're here for the food.
Super fresh and delicious lobsta rolls. The Mushroom Brie Bisque is a must!
Miriam S.December 9, 2015Family of 5. Lobster rolls were decent, Italians underwhelming & overpriced. Daughter got grilled cheese instead of meatball sandwich by which time we had already waited 20min for 5 sandwiches.
Fernando CovasOctober 7, 2014I think the amount of lobster in their rolls is quite weak- it's really just mostly bread. Also, the lobster bisque is far from it. Tastes more like flour and butter than lobster bisque.
Amy StonesiferOctober 6, 2013Hearty lobster roll, chicken salad with walnuts and amazing Whoopie pies
Felyn BangilanJune 11, 2014Parking is very, very limited. Neighborhood street parking is available, but be courteous.
Kimberly NguyenOctober 21, 2013At least go for the experience! It's pretty good but make sure not too late cos they might run out of ingredients
