Wanted to come here for a long time as I've read how good their lobster rolls were. As a Mother's Day gift this year, my husband told me lunch here, my choice of date, was my gift. Chose to come on a Wednesday as they serve a lobster dinner all day for $25 . We were both disappointed. He had a lobster roll and I the lobster dinner. We've both enjoyed these same items elsewhere more than we did here.

Fun, fresh and friendly! Witty decor (don't miss the restrooms) and warm, unpretentious service make this one of our new favorite places. The lobster rolls live up to their billing as the main event and the fries are way better than they need to be. Thoughtful seasonal beer selection without the attitude is refreshing both literally and metaphorically.

The lobster rolls at their restaurant were not nearly as good as the truck. Service mistakes. Disappointing.

Their lobster roll is great, but I wish it came with more choices than the standard pickle and slaw.

Saturday night dinner with friends. Have 7:00 reservation and was seated promptly. Funky bathrooms, unisex. Very casual. Went for lobster rolls. Delicious, but not much meat for $24.00. Good selection of tap beer. Fried clam strips were good. Tried all three desserts. Good but $10.00 for key lime pie the size of a cupcake is a bit much. Had fun, very good service.

Cool vibe. Cool place. A little pricey though. Really not worth the money when you realize all that you had was a mediocre lobster roll
