Lobster Roll in CT

[August_West]

I didn't buy any $23 or $27 lobster rolls, I'm not stupid. There is a place down the street from me that has a $59 1 lb. lobster roll.

Maine during the summer robs people blind. Pretty much everything from rolls to oysters to clam platters ( even stupid strips! ) runs you 25-35 bucks an order

This is almost backwards. After the fact, it's almost as though you are asking if anyone likes it, rather than telling us if you did. So, how was it?

If you enjoyed your lobster roll, then I'm happy for you, even if it may have been (or was) a lesser lobster roll when compared with other places mentioned.

It may have been 'good enough,' and cost you less in time and traffic and money.

I forfeited yoga on the beach before it got crazy sticky hot this morning in order to connect w/Lady Hans, set up for another air conditioner, and let my body wake up some more. Instead, I did a free yoga class 300 steps from home, with West Rock beautifully looming in the distance, and am returning home now on a nice neighborhood walk, with snap peas, zucchini, and baby red romaine lettuce from the farmer's market, and change from om my $5 bill.

The guy playing solo electric guitar in the background throughout was NOT the best guitarist I've ever seen live, but he was definitely a net positive. And I don't regret not driving 95 miles each way to sit on the lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon and listen to Ry Cooder and Emmylou Harris, even though Ry is in my Top 5 of performers I've never seen live who is still playing well.

And apparently $500+ per night for basic hotel accommodations in Portland. No thanks.

Lobster Landing in Clinton is the best.

Their sausage and peppers is also excellent (sausage from Meadow Meat in Middletown).

It's also byob.

Lobster landing best in the state and the price is very good also

But it was a Holiday Inn and they had free wi-fi.

never had a lobster roll before for some weird reason, so going to get one today. Was gonna go to bills seafood...will this be a good lobster roll spot?

Bill's is our favorite spot. Have been going there forever. You can't go wrong with the lobster roll there. They also have really good Rhode Island clam chowder.

To answer, I didn’t really get what the buzz was all about. It wasn’t gross, but I’m not sure I’d be blown away by another better lobster roll. Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to get one again

Nope...he was asking about Bill's Seafood.

PS - I've enjoyed my lobster roll the two times I've gotten one from the Lobster Hut truck in Milford, in case anyone has wondered about it.

I tried it once, and wondered why I did. Was very unimpressed.

They don’t have rolls. But they should. Their fried lobster and waffles offering is sublime .

I’m sure a company that has America’s freshest seafood from coast to coast could straight up kill a lobster roll. They are seafood professionals.

crawfish roll, it's like 3 bucks

One thing is for certain: a disappointing lobster roll plays out the way you and @uconnphil2016 wrote it. Lady Hans doesn't get it and has stopped trying. Now that I think of it more, my first trip to Lobster Hut was better than second..

The obviousness of this troll job will dilute the quality of your Arby’s troll.

You haven’t tried the ched bay waffles. So you are basing your premise on incomplete information.

A good lobster roll is a good lobster roll. If you’ve had one, you have had them all.

But these navel gazers have to do this. They can’t help themselves.

You can go to Boston and get a $1000 lobster roll

A North End restaurant makes a 6-foot, 15-pound lobster roll that costs $1,000

Blasphemy.

A $49 lobster roll? A recent shortage has lobster prices soaring. - The Boston Globe

Local lobster shortage perhaps, plus shipping even more overseas at higher profit margin ??? Instead of clawless Pacific lobster, "Boston Lobster", claws and all, was unusual in China just a few years back versus being an "in thing" now at some upper middle to more higher rated restaurants. Anything to take a picture to show off to friends & others

You get it with mayo?

That's not a lobster roll. That cold abomination with mayo is lobster salad.

Agree. Phil wasn’t blown away. Figured he went with a fugazi roll.

It's most people's idea of a lobster roll and is what's almost always served in Maine, I agree the CT. version is superior.

Ham and cheese sandwich for lunch every single day for you, huh?
