Any of the lobster rolls, or the crispy oyster roll with a side of fried clam strips. Be sure to wash it all down with a Lobster Bloody Mary (or several), which comes with a whole lobster claw in it. Read more

Amazing HH with $1 oysters and $4 sliders. If you are dining with the right person I recco an order of fried clam strips and go halvsies on the NE and CT Lob rolls so you get to enjoy each.

We've said it before and we'll say it again and again—the Lobster Joint has a dope happy hour. Enjoy $1 oysters and $4 lobster, crab cake, and fried oyster sliders from 4pm to 7pm on weekdays. Read more

New England or Connecticut Lobster roll, you can't go wrong. Then work your way south to Kent street, follow it all the way to the East River, enter Transmitter Park and enjoy the beautiful view!

I’ve been there only once for quick lunch. I tried a lobster roll which was very delicious. In general, food was fresh and tasty. Interior was really nice and service was quick and good.

Great atmosphere out back. Huge portions even for a big appetite like mine. Delicious food, great service, cool vibe. Definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed the Connecticut lobster roll and the lobster mac and cheese was good as well. Would definitely come back!! Big shout out to my bf for recommending it :)

New England lobster rolls (cold) w/ fries are bomb. Lemon root cocktail tastes like root beer = delicious. Good for groups, day or night. Little far from greenpoint ave G stop, but usually worth it.

The lobster roll is on par with the best in the city but being that this is Brooklyn, you get more for your money, with a choice of fries, salad, or chips. And if you ask nicely, watermelon

Food is fresh. Everything on the menu is good. Lobster rolls are good. Anything with lobster in it has a ton of lobster. The lobster chowder was oozing with yummy lobster too.
Finella Jianna VillaluzApril 8, 2017
Lobster roll and clam chowder for sure. Nice staff. Ask to be seated at their heated patio. Nice view and good food.

Quality lobster rolls, oyster shooters, fried fish, and more New England classics with a large outdoor space. Happy hour cocktails are a steal.

Summertime trips to the Rockaways are behind us now, but luckily the Lobster Joint concession stand has a permanent restaurant in Greenpoint. Grab a pitcher of Lobster Ale during their happy hour. Read more

Huge portions of fresh, tasty seafood at a lightening quick pace. From 4-7 p.m. on weekdays you can get $1 oysters, $4 sliders, $4 drafts and $16 pitchers, and $4 oyster shooters.

Vegans don't fear. Delicious asparagus and boiled potatoes. They have lots of vegan sides. Get the tequila cocktail!
Jennie PerriJuly 31, 2013
Happy hour 4-7, get in line and order everything. Their house cocktails are $4, beer $4, sliders (choice of crabcake fried oyster, or lobster), you guessed it $4. Not to mention $1 oysters. Heaven.

Lobster. Claw. Bloody. Mary. There's not much else to say about this decadent cocktail, which is served in a pint glass with enough accoutrements to sub as a meal. Read more

Lobster grilled cheese and soup combo is fuego. Other menu items like chicken are also great
Byron WilkesDecember 22, 2015
The happy hour oysters are great! $1/oyster as of this post date... The Lonely Sailor cocktail was also tasty. Only one piece of lobster in my lobster corn chowder, though.

Get the New England Lobster Roll and wash it down with a pitcher of Lobster Ale. Great for summer birthdays!
Will MahonyJuly 13, 2018
Mixed experiences here. Better to dine in. Lobster Mac & cheese is underwhelming. Chicken is surprisingly solid. Lobster Rolls are good but small. Sides are all solid.

I come here for the not-lobster entrees and they are always on point. The salmon and mahi mahi sandwiches are always fresh and worth every penny.
alissa nevitaFebruary 17, 2014
Pretty cool place. I wasn't too impressed with the crab cakes. They were a little on the salty side. Popcorn shrimp and drinks were good. My friend enjoyed the lobster dinner.
Anna OhareSeptember 23, 2014
Forget lobster. On these chilly nights you need the half roast chicken with mash and gravy. Order a second side of mash if you're hungry. So. Good.
Quemoy ClarkeApril 11, 2015
The Lobster Corn Chowder. There are chunks of lobster in every bite. The New England Lobster roll with a side salad

Lobster salad and my favorite French fries on earth. They're consistently stupid-perfect. Also, oysters and $8 cocktails on a backyard patio.
Tasting TableMay 4, 2012
Try the New England-style lobster roll, filled with hearty pieces of fresh, tender lobster claw and knuckle meat. A delicious contender in our 2012 Lobster Roll Rumble: Read more

Came at 3:30 - got to take advantage of the lunch specials AND stuck around for happy hour! Lobster sliders were rad and $1 oysters were delightful.
Samantha JoJune 26, 2015
Happy hour sliders, oysters, and shots! It's a must! Nice yard and great inside seating as well!
Celeste NorthJune 21, 2014
Go for the lobster roll unless you feel like having soup and siders, then, go for the clam chowder. Enjoy the backyard!
Ray LinJune 21, 2013
Get a lobster roll (duh) but also, pitchers of Lobster Ale and the backyard area. What summers in Greenpoint are for.
Krunk PonyMay 7, 2013
Gotta speak up for both the $1 happy hour oysters and the fried oysters that had a magically juicy center. Lobster roll was great but pricey.
Milos PeluffoJanuary 23, 2015
The fried oysters are great, the marinara sauce for the calamari is actually spicy, and the fish and chips is amazing.
Janice Cruz BrooksJune 18, 2011
Delicious lobster roll. Mayo-based (lightly). Served w a great pickle and Cape Cod chips too. The people who work there really care if you're enjoying your food :)
Ale TowerJune 11, 2016
Bomb lobster roll with bacon and avocado. Those things can't come cheap sadly, but it's worth a visit for a quick meal that doesn't taste like one.
Nic GMarch 27, 2017
lobster grilled cheese is amazing, loaded with lobster meat.
Laura D.June 26, 2015
their under-rated lobster roll is a perfect compliment to a summer day stroll in greenpoint!
Viki T.October 25, 2013
Lovely place with garden. The lobster plate is huge and serves two!
Amy TremmelMarch 23, 2015
Best lobster rolls!! Big backyard and super casual. Perfect for summer dates.
Peter LadaSeptember 4, 2015
The backyard is great, decent beer and excellent seafood. Low key atmosphere.
paiSeptember 23, 2012
Amazeballs lobster salad with avocado and grapefruit slices. Lobster bisque is perfect with pieces of lobster and corn. Hmmm mom good! :)

One of my favorite new brunch spots. Looking forward to checking out happy hour specials.
Guy FlushingNovember 6, 2016
Fish tacos, bloody mary (spicy, with celery, a pickle, olives, and a lo ster claw).
K. AdamJune 29, 2019
The salt granularity is perfect, and the pickles have excellent texture!
Ryan JorgensonOctober 12, 2014
Lobster rolls, oysters, pitchers, anything else with lobster. Sit out back when it's warm.
Jackie VOctober 14, 2015
I've got mixed feelings about this place. Food is AMAZING (just a bit expensive though) but there's always a ton of babies and kids for some reason.
Ahmad BilalMay 19, 2012
You are so infinitely stupid if you don't get the lobster roll with the lobster bisque. Seriously, get it and eat it, jerks. So delicious.
Tien MaoJune 1, 2013
When placing your order, and the kitchen is slammed, tell them you want your appetizers first. Otherwise, you may get your mains before your apps.
Redwan MouslineMay 13, 2015
The lobster bloody Mary is amazing, the brunch is also really great.
Michael AnthonySeptember 16, 2023
Solid lobster roll and other fried seafood.
