    Great atmosphere and view and the food is of course, incredible. Nicest part for me and my family was in an area where they charge 15$ to park and walk the beach, was seeing the ocean for free

    Lobster roll is like a cardboard brick Covered with tiny bits of burned lobster. Eat at your own risk.

    The lobster roll here is sub-par compared to Old Port Lobster Shack's. This place is pretty average.

    Lobster roll is overrated. Lukes lobster roll in NY is better. This one is a bit over hyped. Good clam chowder tho!
