    Wow. Great lobster roll. The staff knows what they're talking about when they make recommendations. I'm picky about my lobster rolls and I like them fresh as can be, no odd parts, very little mayo, and a crisp, soft, buttery bun. Joes on a roll did not disappoint. Yes I could've easily gone to market basket and paid like $7 or however much it is and gotten thick bisque with mayo, but joes you pay for quality, and that quality is worth it. Smells like fresh fish indoors, not overwhelming and they do have little candies too. Very quick service.

    Not gonna lie, I was a bit underwhelmed by this place. When I picture a lobster shack, I'm usually thinking of a little place by the water, not along a busy road. There wasn't really anywhere to sit outside either, which was disappointing. Major minus points on the vibe. In terms of the lobster, the quality was decent, but the roll was pretty small. I don't think I'd bother coming back, given all the other seafood options in the area.

    I've had lobster rolls all up and down New England and this is one of my favorites. It's a simple place with just a few parking spots, but the price is right and the people have always been nice. The lobster roll isn't super large or overflowing with lobster, but it's enough and it's also 20-30% cheaper than most places, allowing you to try something else! Really enjoyed my hot, buttered lobster roll and the hat trick box that we got (clams, shrimp, and scallops). On another occasion, we got another box with fried fish that was great as well (in addition to the lobster rolls, of course).

    Everything was fresh off the boat Joe's on a roll is a takeout only. But the food is amazing lobster roll is packed with fresh lobster the haddock sandwich was the bomb best I ever had came with French fries or Tata tots everything is fresh like I said . The ladies who run the place are amazing cheerful and helpful second to none. Joe's on a Roll the best. The ambiance is very good too but they have no seating takeout.

    Menu at order kiosk.

    The service was excellent. The lobster rolls were good., no really big chunks of lobster. Otherwise, they would've been great.. We got oysters and they chucked them for us.. Also, the onion rings were really good. No seating in very little parking. Great prices, I will definitely be back..

    A family run business that makes you feel like a part of their family! Thank you, Nicki for honoring my dad by caring for us every time we come! Joe's On A Roll lobster combo - lobster roll, chips & Diet Coke - make everything feel better!!

    Wow! I could just leave my review at that... what an amazing find! I had the lobster bisque, which was loaded with tons of delicious lobster! My wife had the chowder, which was equally as impressive. Which one I will get the next time is anybody's guess; they are both at the top of my list! Now let's talk about their lobster roll. Totally loaded with font of mouth watering, delicious tail meat! Absolutely one of the best lobster rolls out there! To make a good thing even better, their prices are truly affordable! I will most definitely be back here again the next time I am in the area. So delicious!!!

    Good food prices are moderate but worth it. Location is a big drawback but it would not stop me from eating there.

    It is okay but the lobster was a bit tough, the flavor was fine. I should also have asked for the butter on the side not put on the bun.

    i can't believe i haven't made it to kitchen table sooner! wow, what a delightful experience. when…read morei walked in, every single staff member smiled at me. all of them. i've never had that experience before, i was so excited to finally eat here. i love farm-to-table restaurants with local ingredients, it's my favorite. there are 3 different seating areas, i sat at the bar for a solo date. parker is an excellent bartender, and although i came in for the steak tips, i couldn't decide between steak or chicken for my first visit. parker said both are great but between those two, the chicken is his favorite. there was a couple seated next to me that said they come all the time, and anything you order here, will be completely satisfying. i thought they may just be saying that, but truly after my first time here, i believe it wholeheartedly. i ordered their roasted chicken, a marinated, semi-boneless half chicken with sautéed spring spinach & vegetables, and mashed maine potatoes. bread service 9.9/10 roasted chicken 10/10 spring vegetables 10/10 mashed potatoes 9.8/10 but it's better if you do cocktail 10/10 first, the "but it's better if you do," is fantastic. not my typical go-to type of drink, and i was more than pleasantly surprised and loved it. privateer white rum, sour plum liqueur, simple, peychauds with a dehydrated lime. "It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" - i picked it because of this quote on the menu, and i forgot how much i used to love p!atd. i thought to myself, "i've heard this before somewhere..." i loved the bread & roasted garlic butter, however on a little cutting board it was difficult not to make a mess. i guess that's part of what makes it "kitchen table." it is the perfect, round sourdough loaf with the most delicious butter. the roasted chicken was prepared flawlessly. juicy and tender inside, and a perfect crispy skin, just wow. i absolutely loved the selection of spring vegetables, along with the sherry sauce; sautéed spinach, carrots, mushrooms, and onions. the mashed potatoes were perfect once i added extra salt, extra pepper & whipped it up with more of that garlic butter to my liking, however it was prepared great. i requested it without bacon butter, how it typically comes prepared, and the garlic butter is a great substitute. everything was impeccable. i travel to boston often just for food, because i find that the food in beverly, as a whole, is just not up to par, even with all of the marketing. kitchen table is different than any other restaurant in beverly, and now i don't have to travel so far to get the most delicious meals! i am honestly blown away by how amazing my meal was, and i highly recommend kitchen table to anyone in the north shore, and i'd even say it's completely worth going out of your way for. whether solo, a romantic or friend date, or with a small or large group, kitchen table is here to serve (one of the best meals you've had in a long time). there were some other ladies at the bar that were extremely hospitable and helpful as well, i didn't catch their names this time. i wanted to take some pictures at the end of my meal, at closing time when it had emptied out, and molly encouraged me to take all the pictures i needed. just fantastic service by all of the staff. i couldn't be happier with my first experience at kitchen table. here's to many more! ambiance: 4.9/5 food: 5/5 drinks: 5/5 service: 5/5 kitchen table: 5/5

The interior is very small so if you are a group, I recommend sending a designated person to order. We went standard Lobster Rolls with butter on the side. There was a little confusion about line order but they were very apologetic. There are very limited chairs in the lot to eat at and I think maybe 1 picnic table? We decided to bring it home to eat. The result was a slightly less than warm roll, but the FLAVAH! Delicious and the chips were good too. Anything Lobster is a bit of a splurge but very worth it!

Everything there is fresh - boat to table! Cooking and prepping on all on site! We were told the lobsters were cooked at 3am this morning! That's fresh. We had our lobster rolls with butter but they also offer with mayo. The buns were nicely toasted setved with homade chips! The lobster meat, just stop there, tail, claws, all parts, and so much of it! Well worth every dollar we paid! There were lobsters in the tank and when one of the staff members pulled out one for photos ops! It was so fun! Very nice and friendly staff. It shows they are family (two families) owned and runned! Our meals came out faster than expected and we're brought out to our chairs. They have a good selection of wines and beers! Great place for lunch or picking up items for dinner at home! If you are any where near Marblehead, make sure yo stop of for lobster rolls at The Little Harbor Lobster Company.

Great water view that is most likely even better in summer. Staff was very nice and attentive. Appetizers came out decently quick in which we had the buffalo cauliflower bites and crab cake. The cauliflower was cooked well but the buffalo sauce was very strong. It could have used a nice blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. The crab cake was the highlight of the night. The one crab cake sat on a bed of pepper relish with the mango habanero aioli on top was a surprisingly good combo. My wife ordered the filet and ask for it medium. Looked good coming out the we find out the potatoes and spinach the steak were laying on were very cold and the steak was very rare. At a price of $48 you expect the meal to be at least warm and cooked properly. And now the churassco, I had zero idea what this was gonna come out as but it was just kind of a hodgepodge of stuff thrown on a plate. Yucca frites were very dry and stale tasting so it took a lot to chew. I didn't know the carrot was going to be shredded carrots cause unless it's in a salad I prefer actual carrot slices. Steak and plantains were cooked very well and were tasty. It came out on a skillet but there was zero sizzle. I don't really understand why they put onion rings on the rice it just made it harder to eat. I do hope the food got more consistent throughout the night cause the beginning was kind of a mixed bag.

My son ordered the kids menu hamburger. The waiter explained that this sandwich did not have lettuce and tomatoes, which I thought was nice of him to let us know. Since I was penny pinching, I said that was alright. The portion size on his plate was more than enough for a growing pre-teen. I ate the first half of my sandwich happily and it was more than enough. My friend ordered a salad with buffalo chicken fingers and a drink from the bar and she was so happy with her selection. Bonus: *Sports TVs had tennis, basketball, football, sport news and even a WNBA game on. Normally, you are stuck on one sport. *They have a lot of employees.
