We've been going here for over twenty years. Food has almost always been great. Lately prices have gone up quite a bit but so has everyone else so I guess it is what it is. Don't go quite as often anymore. read more

We got our lobsters and oysters to go. We cook them up and all of it was absolutely delicious. They're all oysters were a bit salty but very good. read more

This place was great. Lunch starts at 11:30. Walk inside, you'll see the fresh lobsters. Friendly staff and quick service. I'm from NY so no tax is amazing. Prices were more than fair for the amount of food you get. Clean oil too. My girlfriend got the burger which she said was delicious. Huge patty. Clams were tender and buttery. Good batter ratio. Tartar and Cocktail sauce is available. We will definitely be back! Thank you! -Dom read more

Lobster Connection - Multiple Large tanks with live lobsters. Delicious seafood. Highly recommend!! - Seafood Near Me - Tilton, New Hampshire

This is a classic, almost antique, New England traditional fish place located at a lake not the coast. Ayep, succulent fried clams, shrimp, haddock, and delicious scallops all to die for. And those traditional onion rings, strings actually, that go perfectly with the new england treats. And, of course they have lobsters, meals, traditional sizes and monsters if you are so inclined and have a tool kit to crack the shells. I hear the owner made his fortune with the process and tank systems he uses to maintain live lobsters which he has sold around the world. And, they have lobsters bisque with that sherry taste. A whole bunch of other menu items as well. It's take out, with warm weather covered eating benches which are OK. So, here are some suggestions to send the rating even higher. Have some eat-in dining, rustic, but warm to get 3 full seasons. Provide lemon wedges, and get a license for wine and beer and you'd make a even bigger income and serve an even larger community. Just saying. read more

Finally stopped in an gave them a try! The fries were amazing! As well as the coleslaw!! The lobster roll, well disappointing... not enough mayo , it was dry and had no flavor ! The place was busy and the staff was nice! May try again while a lil less busy. read more

Lobster Connection is your typical New England seafood shack with a water view. You can order cooked or uncooked seafood inside and they have picnic tables set up outside if you want to eat there. I came for the fresh clam roll. I love whole belly clams. It's something I have NEVER seen in the Midwest. I like my clam roll with cocktail sauce instead of tartar sauce. I think the clams should have been soaked a bit longer as there were a few with some grit but the clams and fries were both perfectly fried and delicious. It had been almost three years since I had been to New England and eaten whole belly clams and it was a very enjoyable meal. I would return! read more

2.5 stars out of 5 if I could. We came in during COVID times and they have outdoor seating. Inside they have tanks w lobsters in it. The service was meh. We weren't greeted and were kind of ignored. But whatever I can get past it if the food was on point. We got clam chowder (when in New England you gotta) and lobster bisque and fries. The fries were hot and crispy but thinner then my liking. They were also so bland. No seasoning on it all. They do give you salt and pepper which helps. The clam chowder was very good. The clams were not over done. There was also bacon and potatoes. The lobster bisque wasn't thick enough to really be a bisque to me. It didn't even coat the spoon. And there were no chunks of lobster but it was flavorful. read more

Wanted a good Lobster roll before heading back home. Found this place on Yelp. Biggest and Best lobster rolls I have ever had. Worth every penny. If I lived closer, I would be in trouble. You know you have found a great seafood place , when you walk-in and see live Lobsters and there is no fishy smell. Fresh !!! read more

Lobster roll served on a hamburger bun!?!? Skimpy quantity of lobster, worst we've ever had. Price is as high as anywhere in the country.

One of our favorite places to go for seafood. Highly recommend it. Fried HaddockFried Whole Belly Clams the BEST onion rings!

Wow. If you like lobster this is your place. Whole, on a roll, salad. Add in amazing fried shrimp, clams or oysters. Outside pavilion dining on picnic tables Fresh and fresh. Large portions. Quick from order to table. Don't let the crowds scare you away. Do not miss this spot. It is a must do. read more

Fabulous no-frills fresh lobster and seafood place. We had the lobster dinners, 1.5 pound lobsters with coleslaw and fries. Their menu is actually pretty extensive and we also had a 2 lb mussels in white wine broth with garlic, very yummy. My son loved the chicken tenders. Sit outside at the picnic tables and dig into the lobstah! read more

The best lobster roll I have ever had hands down. Was only in town for a short while, but ended up coming back here twice for lunch because it was so good. Very kind service and well worth the price. I think about this lobster roll almost daily. read more

The Owner is the nicest guy! Food is Awesome! Please support this place! Fresh and yummy!

Hands down the best seafood chowder I have ever had. The fried haddock was fresh and tasty. The steamers were amazing. The service was outstanding. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area. read more

Fresh and juicy lobsters! So glad we checked out this place that was a few miles from our rental lake house. Nothing can beat fresh lobsters! read more

Food just okay tables not clean trash buckets full one person let her dog take a crap she picked it up and put it in the overflowing trash bucket right next to where we were eating won't go back read more

The man working at the front was SO rude it was unbearable i was actually scared to walk because I thought he would yell at me. He would blame things on customers and yell AT customers and tell them to hurry up and give them dirty looks. He threw the receipt at us and told us to wait outside. He was claiming it was SO busy but trust me it wasn't. I work at a small town coffee shop and I know what busy looks like. There were very little slips up and at most 4 people in line. Crappy service for some mediocre food. Would not recommend. read more

Too much grease and not enough flavor. I ordered the haddock strips which came with fries and coleslaw. The price wasn't bad at 11.99, but the wait was a bit long and the food had no flavor at all. Aside from not having any flavor, the food was really as greasy as if they had not drained the grease off of the food. read more

If you want fresh seafood and a knowledgeable staff this is the place to go. I was raised on seafood in Rhode Island and the product at this spot is as good as you will find in Narragansett or Newport, RI. I come back several times every summer and they never disappoint. The prices aren't cheap but are consistent with fresh, quality seafood. They can get a little busy so you do need to be patient at times because they have a small crew but if you know that going in it's all good. Can't wait for some lobsters and steamers this summer!!!! Chris L. read more

Had the lobster roll and the lobster bisque. Both were outstanding. The fries were perfectly done. The service was quick and efficient. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

Ok. If you love fresh cooked lobster and lobster bisque you have GOT to stop. Very unassuming place but friendly people and fantastic food. We are going back 3 other nights it was so good!!! read more

Always delicious and appreciate this place every time i'm in the area. I usually get my favorite seafood, Haddock and clam chowder. The best! They are extremely busy and are open 7 days a week and I'm sure were understaffed like everyone else these days. That said, your not going to walk in for a friendly chat--they are focused and getting it done so i hope people's ego can get beyond that a just focus on the food. However, i believe the owner took my order on the phone last fall and was very friendly. His story is interesting. I swear I don't know any of them I just so appreciate that they work hard for us to have real deal seafood! read more

Ok so, if you like fried food, then this is the place. They don't do anything by fried, no broiled our sautéed. Just fried, period. And no gluten free, they all have some sort of breading. That being said you can, of course, get a lobster that's not fried or clams that are steamed. The lobster dinner was $38.00. Came with fries and slaw which my husband said was good. The lobster was a bit on the chewy side.....did't care for it. Meh.....I'm beginning to think the sweet succulent lobster is gone. No more trying for me. You order in and eat outside. So not much more to say except that the lobster was not worth it for me but I haven't tried any of the other stuff. read more

Small place with outdoor seating only but the food is amazing. Delicious fried oysters and lobster roll. Even the coleslaw was delicious. Only thing worth mentioning is that the lobster roll is not put on a traditional hotdog roll but rather a regular Kaiser roll which takes away from all the delicious flavor of the lobster. The onion rings and french fries were also extremely tasty and not greasy. read more

Best damn lobster roll I have ever had!!! The lobster isn't placed in a skimpy hot dog roll. They are on big bulky rolls with hand cut fries. The lobster has just the right amount of season and dressing. The owner that will serve you is a friendly guy who likes to sip on a tall Natty Light during those hot summer days. The kids love checking out the lobsters in the tanks and they will even let the kids touch them and hold them if you ask. We hit this place up after a round of mini golf across the street. It has become tradition! read more

fried seafood is great and reasonably priced, lobster roll had great flavor but price reflects the size of it. great little seafood spot

Went there for the first time today. Yummy! I got a clam strip roll. I have paid more for less in the Lakes Region. There was more food than I could finish. It was cooked to order and served hot. I will return. read more

Only ate there once and won't again, the clam bellies were over cooked and dried out, the coleslaw too peppery and onion rings really stringy. No idea why everyone raves about the place. read more

This was our second year in a row coming here for the Fourth of July weekend to pick up some lobsters. We stay in Meredith and we were recommended this place by a family friend. We picked up several 2 lbs lobsters and they had a lot of meat on them, especially the claws. The guy behind the counter was extremely helpful. I believe he must the owner or one of them because he's in a few pictures on the wall dating back several years. Since we bought live lobsters he gave us clear instructions on how long and what to make sure to do when cooking from home. I thought that was really nice of him! Great place and we will most certainly be back next time in the area. read more

Lobster here was very delicious and taste great! Full of flavor They only have tables and seats outside. Dont forget to get your Order number, the cashier just yells if ur order is ready. No sink or bathroom here either but its worth it. Try the Lobster Bisque, they have the best tasting lobster bisque here. read more

Tourist trap alert: if someone told me the lobster was imitation (yes, even with all the lobster tanks there) I wouldn't be surprised. Just wasn't up to par for all the hype and for the quality of lobster roll for this is part of the country. Plus the attitude of the older man (assuming the owner) didn't help. read more

Can't speak to the food here, as I've never tried it. I can, however, review the service. We wanted to order a few things for lunch and called ahead. Although not on the menu, we asked for a grilled cheese (they have bread, they have cheese, so why would a grilled cheese be difficult?). We were answered with nothing more than a one word answer, "No." Could not have been any ruder about the most simple request. read more

Seriously pricey. Seriously long-wait times. Seriously down-scale ambiance and unfriendly (almost angry) service by the guy at the check out counter. If you don't care about any of that, you'll get fresh seafood from a convenient location. Not eager to go back any time soon. read more

This place is amazing. Its the classic new england seafood type of situation, its more of a takeout kind of deal, although they do have some picnic tables outside. The lobster rolls were perfect, like actually. We also bought some huge lobsters, scallops, steamers etc to cook later, all amazing. The guy who runs the place goes to Maine to get the lobster daily, he then has a very specific kind of tank which keeps them perfect. Apparently he is a biologist or something as well, the man knows lobster. Seriously if you randomly find yourself nearby stop in for a lobster roll you will be VERY glad you did. read more

Very surprised to see such good reviews... we visited and waited about 30 minutes for our order (so had high expectations!)... the fish we had as fish n chips was actually good and cooked nicely, however the fries were pretty average and the lobster roll was actually terrible... it was served with a burger bun which we found to be quite surprising... we would not recommend and would not go back... On a positive note, the guy behind the counter was very friendly! read more

Wow! This place is awesome! Probably the best lobster roll I have ever had!! The lobster was incredibly fresh! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! The WORST customer service I've had in a long time! If I could give this place a big, fat ZERO, I would. We visited on 7/19/2020. If I hadn't been with family at the time of my visit I would've told the guy behind the counter (the owner) how I really feel and walked out and not given this place a cent of my money. My girlfriend and I had never been there before - we docked a boat and walked up a path not knowing what to expect at all (we didn't even know it was going to be a seafood place - we weren't told by other family members, we just knew there was a restaurant to get food and we were hungry). That being said, we didn't know the menu. No exaggeration, 30 seconds into us looking at the menu the jerk behind the counter was really upset at us for "taking too long to order." He quite literally said this out loud for us to hear and screamed it in his body language throughout. Now I am not one to speak my mind, but it took A LOT for me to bite my lip and not to say or do something in this instance - like I said, I was with family and wanted to be the bigger man here. I did give him a respectful chirp or two back making him aware that we had never been here before, but he did not care - he was very upset that we didn't know what we wanted to eat off of the menu. Long story short, come to find out that this guy behind the counter has a well-known reputation amongst the locals as to being a jerk (trust me, saying "jerk" is the nice word to use here...). If that doesn't speak for itself, I don't know what will. Supposedly he has been called out on his mannerism MANY times before from others and is trying to work on it, but my question is who is teaching this guy how to work on "it" because "it" ain't working too well... We will never go back to this place or recommend it to anyone unless they are open to being disrespected by the owner for wanting to support his local business. On top of this all the food was expensive and not that good at all - they even happened to get a part of my order wrong! There are many better places around with better quality, better service and better prices - DO NOT EAT HERE! read more
