Top 5 Lobster Rolls in Boston

Top Tier EditorialSourcesThe Boston GlobeThe Infatuation

  1. 1

    Neptune Oyster

    North End

    The Globe calls it justifiably the best-known roll in town — a generous Maine lobster roll on toasted brioche, hot with butter or cold with mayo.

  2. 2

    James Hook & Co

    Waterfront

    A fish shack in the middle of Boston's waterfront, per the Globe — the Hook family has been harvesting shellfish here for a century.

  3. 3

    Belle Isle Seafood

    Winthrop

    The Globe's 'perfect lobster roll in the perfect urban seaside escape'; the Infatuation flags the oversized all-tail option (cash only).

  4. 4

    Row 34 - Seaport | Boston

    Fort Point

    Chef Jeremy Sewall's Seaport oyster hall — the Globe praises its warm-butter version with sweet, tender meat, plus a cold option named for his grandmother.

  5. 5

    Eventide Fenway

    Fenway

    The Globe singles out the unconventional preparation — lobster on a steamed bao with nutty brown butter that lends umami without overwhelming the meat.
