    Perfectly fine convenient touristy dining.

    We ordered a quart of New England clam chowder and two of the cold lobster rolls, came to $50.00, so not a cheap lunch. Chowder was better than the rolls, we ate them, but did not understand the hype, maybe the warm lobster rolls with...More

    Lobster Mac and cheese is incredible

    I come here every time I visit Boston - once I got the lobster roll, but the last two times I’ve gotten the lobster Mac and cheese. Both are great but the Mac and cheese is a category all of its own!

    Clam chowder bread bowl!!

    Absolutely loved the clam chowder bread bowl!! It was so delicious, and worth every penny! I would get it again and again and again. Everything else on the menu sounded good as well. I will certainly return!

    Lobster rolls to die for!

    My first time having lobster rolls and I was not let down. Fresh lobster, the roll was butter dipped so that was tantalizing. The New England clam chowder was fantastic. When I walked into the food hall, I essentially went with the place that had...More
