The lobster rolls here are delicious. This might be sacrilege but even bigger and better than most in New England. Chowder is good too but very heavy! The outdoor tables are great on a nice day.
Ryan LeggettAugust 10, 2013Delicious! Get the lobster roll - we preferred them dressed - and sit at a table outside in the sun. The homemade chips were also really good. We'll be back for fresh crab and lobster by the pound!- Marissa CSeptember 23, 2018Hidden gem 5 minutes from SFO. Grab a lobster roll and a seat on the picnic tables outside. Delicious and chill, can’t believe just found out about this place!

William JohnsonJuly 16, 2015The seasonal roll right now is amazing. Sweet lobster meat topped with creamy avocado and finely chopped bacon. All on top of that beautifully toasted roll
Kiri InouyeOctober 7, 2016Everything is amazing! Lobster soup is creamy and flavorful. Crab nachos and the homemade potato chips were to die for (esp with a little of that seasoning salt that's kept on the table)
LuckyxleafOctober 11, 2013Best for your buck in order-1lb lobster, lobster roll, lobster tacos (not worth it even during "hh", best to go w $3 shrimp tacos). Tbh, I preferred the crab nachos over the lobster :x
Ms HeleneJuly 2, 2018A lot of lobster, little mayonnaise, crispy, thick-cut chips and fresh coleslaw with cranberries.
Charlene NaughtonMay 29, 2021COVID precautions are an A+ here! Sit at a table, scan the QR code, and the food comes right to your table! There are even heat lamps to keep you warm in the Peninsula fog!- William JohnsonJuly 16, 2015The seasonal roll right now is amazing. Sweet lobster meat topped with creamy avocado and finely chopped bacon. All on top of that beautifully toasted roll.
- Chris NevrockJune 19, 2022Sooo. The lobster rolls are good. The steamed lobsters are too much work. The lobster Mac n cheese is good but has bacon in it. The corn lobster chowder is delicious. More like a bisque really.
Gene SwansonApril 22, 2020I went here for lunch with my grandparents. What a lovely place! The place is decorated nicely and the staff was very chatty and attentive. I will visit them again!- Ebony GriffithApril 7, 2020This restaurant had been serving good food and providing outstanding service for longer than I can remember. Location is convenient, unconventional and provides a lovely view of the city.
- Best lobster rolls on the peninsula, I like them dressed, a cup of the lobster chowder, and ya jus gotta have half a dozen oysters on the half shell to start it all off.
Derek GurneyAugust 3, 2017Came back for the lobster claws (4) and a bottle of Ballast Point Grapefruit sculpin. Just as good as the first time and only $10 during happy hour (3-6)
Sonja BoiceJuly 14, 2018All the tacos are awesome! Go for happy hour before 6 and save money! The lobster corn chowder is yummy! I also loved the craft Root beer they offered.- Anita RossApril 8, 2020I can't say enough positive about this restaurant. All of their staff were very outstanding. Their hospitality and kindness devotion to their profession is very laudable and commendable.
_September 22, 2015Lobster roll and lobster chowder combo! One of the cheapest places to get good quality lobster in the Bay Area.
Adena BrenowitzNovember 25, 2018Great place to get live lobsters and the price is reasonable compared to other places in SF.- Cory O'BrienNovember 28, 2012NELC supplies fresh seafood to local restaurants, hotels & grocery stores, and now includes an eatery where you can sample lobster claws, rolls & platters, as well as crab nachos, salad & sandwiches.
- Jessica SchackneDecember 14, 2012Great lobster rolls with big chunks of lobster! I had the seasonal, with avocado & bacon bits. Yum! Seafood gumbo is tasty, too.
Get the lobster special #1 and add the lobster chowder — best $30 you can spend on seafood in the area
Greg SweattJuly 13, 2018This is a great place to eat hidden in a location with few good restaurants. If you love lobster, a must.- LilyJune 24, 2015Try their lobster roll here--it's amazing! They also sell live lobsters and other seafood here too if you'd prefer a night in at home.
Amy CallawayAugust 28, 2014Amazingly delicious food and nice, relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend for seafood goers.
Bre HammondSeptember 22, 2017East meets West Salad which is crab and lobster. The lobster corn chowder is excellent
Wanting to go on the lighter side? Get the Mexi Shrimp Cocktail!! 5-6 large prawns Ina great spicy cocktail sauce it's almost like gazpacho!
Bob HendersonAugust 6, 2015I luv the Mexi Shrimp Cocktail. Very good shrimps. Cocktail sauce super. With bits of avocado & cilantro & spicy tasting sauce- james WarrenJuly 20, 2021New England Lobster Market & Eatery 5 minutes drive to the east of James Warren Dental
- Taylor LeeSeptember 21, 2018Try the Lobster Roll and the Lobster Corn Chowder! It is definitely worth the trip.
Kevin ChangAugust 10, 2014Dressed lobster roll is pretty good. Love their bread. Ginger beer is really nice and strong.
The whole crab is good but cold. Lobster rolls don’t compare to east coast. Raw foods are the best. Overall food is just okay but the outside tables and ambience are great
Go for the 1.5 lb lobster instead of the 1 lb. You won't regret it!
Ahoy Mate's ! stuff your craw here with delightful fresh Ocean Treasures for every palette.
Nattaporn PornpithayalertNovember 20, 2017BEST lobster and chowder and crab and everything SERIOUSLY! Never been disappointed by this place.
Tim DengAugust 11, 2017Consistently rated as one of the best places for lobster rolls in he country but to be honest, it was just okay.
Go Find AliceSeptember 5, 2016Slightly overpriced. But come on in for fresh lobster and crab! Oysters available too
So good. I buy the crab, oysters n lobsters to take home all the time. Never bad. Always good.
erespacDecember 4, 2015The lobster corn chowder is very memorable. Small salad is not really small, and the lobster platter is nicely price. Fresh food great prices- ElisaSeptember 19, 2023Agreed with others, portion is small, maybe it shrank over the years. Avocado as a topping is very Californian but it drowns out the lobster taste.
Susan AptekarJune 8, 2023I enjoyed the lobster but it was smaller than advertised and I had to keep asking for the bib and the nut cracker. Also, it was not a good deal for the price.
Melon LAugust 5, 2015Weekday happy hour until 6pm. Notable menu items include fish, shrimp and lobster tacos
JoannaJune 30, 2014First time here, grabbed the Short on Ca$h special - $17.95 for a 1 lb lobster, slaw, chips and a roll. Lobster meat was DIVINE.
Always get the lobster roll and corn chowder combo before taking the Westin airport shuttle to SFO.
