| - The temptation of lobster rolls made me trek here for lunch with a coworker and all the fuss I've heard about this place have not been misplaced. We got in around 12:30pm and this place was buzzing. The seating is a communal style where you're going to get awfully close to some strangers enjoying their deep fried seafood, so this is probably not the place to talk about the weird growth on your foot or how your boss is a giant twat. We both ordered the lobster rolls, which came with a generous bunch of fries and coleslaw.
The lobster roll was a little smaller than I would've liked, but I think it's a reasonable size based on the price point. I've had lobster rolls at the Happy Hooker, Buster's Sea Cove, Rock Lobster etc. and the portion is pretty reasonable. For those reviewers who claim the size is itty bitty, I'd love to see where you go consume your seafood (so I can go eat where you eat). The bun was nicely toasted and there was little chunks of celery (maybe another root vegetable?) in the mixture of the lobster which I LOVED. It added a fresh taste to the seafood and I was a happy camper. The fries are pretty standard and taste like fresh cut ones - a little limp, but still pretty good.
I really enjoyed the place, but minus one star for the cleanliness of the place. I get it, it's the lunch rush and everyone is busy. However, the trash cans were over flowing with the little paper-plasticky containers the food came in, and it was spilling on the floors and there was dirty trays on tables. The tree-hugger part of me wants to suggest reusable containers, but I don't know if it's plausible with how small the area is in this place.
I still like this place and I'll definitely come back for more of their seafood offerings.
