Lobster meat in roll
Rachel M.

Have you ever gotten lobster rolls from a church before? If not this is your sign to go right now. We have been going every Friday we have been on the island ever since we got them for the first time a few years back. The price has been rising every year, but it goes to a great cause. For each 25$ container you order you get a generously portioned serving of lobster, which may even leave you with some leftovers for the next day or to split with someone. We got the chowder for the first time this year and it will be a new addition to our Friday order!

Description from Grace Church.... "Every Friday afternoon from the first of May through the end of September, Grace Church offers Lobster Rolls to the community as its primary fundraiser for local outreach ministries. Voted "Number One" by residents of the island 4 years in a row in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Grace Church is consistently featured in the July issue of The Best of the Vineyard published by Martha's Vineyard Magazine. The winning recipe is no secret. No fillers are used in making the rolls, just a little mayonnaise and white pepper for seasoning; the results are placed in a freshly baked roll or a container for carry out between the hours of 4:30 and 7:30 PM every Friday evening." As a self proclaimed Manhattan food snob and lobster roll aficionado, this is as good as it gets. I'm admittedly practically obsessed with lobster rolls. This simple sandwich, a hot dog bun grilled in butter, bursting with fresh, succulent lobster meat, is the perfect lunch (or dinner) any time of year. So perhaps I give this meal more cred than it is due...though I'd beg to differ with anyone who feels so. In Bethenny Frankel's NYC lobster roll crawl, one of her cohorts sites the Grace Church lobster rolls as the standard to meet. While they never explicitly say so, even those at famous Mermaid Inn and Peal Oyster Bar fall short. So the question is, what REALLY makes these lobster rolls so good? 1) The quality of the meat is fantastic. It's nice and firm, sweet, and not at all watery. 2) I have NEVER found entire claws in any other lobster roll. Often lobster rolls at restaurants are comprised of only the tail meat as the claws are sold separately as part of cold seafood platters with oysters etc. etc. The tail meat is of course good, but it lacks the sweetness and texture of the claws and knuckles. Not only do these lobster rolls have claws in them, but you often find ENTIRE claws. 3) The price is insanely fair. Overall, these are just simply the best. I look forward to them every single summer and hope that Grace Church never stops making them.

Lobster roll and home made chocolate cream pie

Best Lobster Roll on Martha's Vineyard. If you are on MV on a Friday you MUST stop and have the lobster roll and homemade pie for dessert. The lobster roll has the lightest touch of mayo and white pepper. Bread is soft but the lobster is the star, entire claw pieces, & huge. It melts in your mouth. The pie was light, sweet, and mile high. All this and ice tea under $15! The roll is large enough to split if you want a small meal.

More lobster than the average person can eat.  This place wins best lobster roll and this is why... amazing!

Truly deserving of the best lobster rolls in all of Martha's Vineyard! Incredible portions and pure lobster... A great way to start your time on the island or leave. I was stuffed and very, very happy that I came.

Every Friday from 4:30-7:30pm May through the end of September, they sell Lobster Rolls to raise money for charity. This is hands down the best and biggest Lobster Roll I have ever had by far. For $15.00 you get a lobster roll, bag of chips and your choice of lemonade or Iced tea. There was no fillers either just a touch of mayo and big chunks of lobster. This lobster roll has two or maybe even three times the lobster than your average roll. You have a choice of eating it in the church or taking it to go where they put the lobster in a separate container and you can put it together later.

Grace Church hands down best lobster roll I've ever eaten
