Firstly, the weather was perfect! Boats, sun and 70 degrees made for a great day. Secondly, the service bar made a great accompaniment! Bloody mary complete with a lobster claw was delectable. Thirdly, Lunch was terrific. The lobster rolls were SO good. Lemony drawn butter, cooked to a perfect soft and not rubbery texture on a great toasted roll; just as it should be. The bisque was tasty and so we're tge sides. Just a perfect lunch stop. read more

I hesitate to review Lobster Landing because it is so good. I fear too many people will go there and create longer lines. This is a great place for a lobster roll. Fresh warm and tender lobster quick-serve style on a hot dog bun in a tent. Tasty lobster bisque maybe lacking lobster chunks but really good. For the land lubber they have salad (hahahahaha), Hummel's hot dogs snd sweet Italian sausage and peppers on a bun. read more

We ended up coming to Lobster Landing twice during our trip -- once on the way to Mystic and again on the way back -- which probably says everything you need to know. It's definitely a little more expensive than some of the other lobster spots we tried, but I honestly liked the food here the most. The lobster meat is lightly seasoned with what tasted like butter and lemon, and it all worked perfectly together without overpowering the lobster. The bun was incredibly soft and loaded with so much meat that it was practically falling apart in the middle. We got the half-pound lobster roll both times and would absolutely order it again, but it is $60. The clam chowder was also excellent. It's creamy without being too thick, and you can really taste all the ingredients. The hot dogs seem to be really popular -- almost everyone was ordering a lobster roll and a hot dog combo. My son loved them so much he had two the first visit! The outdoor seating and water views make it such a relaxing place to sit and eat, and there's also a market on-site where you can buy lobster and shellfish. Definitely one of our favorite stops and somewhere we'd happily return to. read more

The lobster rolls and lobster bisque are delicious. We ended up coming twice in one weekend! The buttery lobster just melts in your mouth and the bisque just hits the spot. We even bought multiple lobster bisques to go to eat at home, but definitely dine in - the vibes are immaculate. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We loved that Lobster Landing is open even when it's pouring outside! read more

I ordered the hot lobster roll after friends said how good it is. I was disappointed! There was no buttery taste to the lobster meat! The lobster meat was very plain. I have had much better elsewhere. For $31.50 I was expecting a real treat but I got a dud. I would have enjoyed the $4 hot dog more. After placing your order you have to wait until they call your name and then go to the counter. No one brings it to you. Yet they have a tip jar! What is the tip for?? They have a small shack there that has an "open" sign with the door open, but instead you're supposed to know (how?) that you order in the tent. I will not return. read more

Great lobster roll, the meat was perfection, the bun unique and hearty, nice views of the harbor, sturdy seating. Wish there was the option of fries but I get it more money on ventilation etc. they offer bagged chips, lobster bisque (which I wish we got to dip in) the tables are also a bit gross on some (due to weather and birds) but since it's outside this is inevitable. You're here for the lobster and water and you get it. Pure summer vibes. read more

Great stop off of the highway for lunch! The views were picturesque while waiting in line. The line snaked down the sidewalk on Labor Day, but moved quickly. After ordering, our food was bagged and ready to go in no time. The lobster roll was very meaty and buttery-- probably one of the best I had on my weekend trip through CT/RI/MA. The surprisingly tasty item was the sausage and peppers sandwich. For a place known for lobster, this sausage sandwich was very flavorful and loaded with peppers and read more

I found my visit to Lobster Landing to be extremely satisfying, even considering all of the acclaim it receives and the years I have anticipated going. I went early, only about 20 minutes after they opened at 11. I had seen pictures of the building ahead of time, but they had an outdoor setup as well. The setting along the waterfront was gorgeous, a there were lots of tables, but I imagine they fill up quickly. Business was already beginning to pick up a lot in the 20 or so minutes I was there. Service was friendly, and my order was ready extremely quickly. It probably took 3 minutes tops. I ordered the quarter pound lobster roll and a side of coleslaw. Prices were pretty average, the roll was $31. The lobster was chopped a bit more than usual, but also not overly so, and there were still lots of large chunks of claw meat throughout. I appreciated that the buns were simply grill toasted, as the generous butter drizzled over the roll would have been too much for me had the bun been buttered much itself. It was a simple and straightforward CT style lobster roll, executed very well. Such a straightforward approach really requires strong execution, and I was impressed. It was delicious, and the lobster was perfectly cooked. The coleslaw had a great balance of tang and sweetness, and wasn't overly dressed. Solid coleslaw. No complaints. If you're a fan of just a good, classic hot buttered lobster roll, this is a fantastic choice. read more

Nestled nearly 2 hours away from NYC in the quiet sleepy town of Clinton is probably the best lobster roll I've ever had. Does it get better if you keep venturing deep into New England territory? Plenty of parking, it's outdoor seating but there's a covering in case it rains, it sits close to the harbor if you like that sea air. Bathrooms are porta potties but they were super clean, had tissue and hand wash. Now to the nitty gritty! We shared a NE chowder that was to die for. I had the double and it was worth it, they weren't stingy with the meat, flavor and butter ratio was just right. Staff was friendly and expeditious, no complaints there. Would definitely stop again, perfect lunch break spot on the way to the city or further into New England. read more

Delicious lobster rolls! My friend took us here because this was her favorite place for lobster rolls. We ordered them to go this time but I'll have to enjoy them there next time. Lots of lobster meat and butter. We also ordered the lobster bisque with a few lobster chunks. It was also delicious but I wish there was more meat. We also had coleslaw but I thought they were ok. read more

We stopped at Lobster Landing for one of their famous lobster rolls, often voted among the best in Connecticut -- and it did not disappoint. The regular 4-ounce roll was $29 (coleslaw is extra), and it was fresh, buttery, and well worth it. It's a BYOB spot, so we brought a couple of beers along, which paired perfectly with the meal. The setup is casual: you place your order at the shack, grab a seat, and wait for your name to be called. Seating options include picnic tables by the ordering area or tables overlooking the water -- both with a relaxed, seaside vibe. Parking was easy when we arrived, but as we left, spaces were filling up and people were waiting. The porta-potties were surprisingly clean (about as good as porta-potties get). Food-wise, everything was satisfying. My husband had the sausage with peppers and onions -- hearty, flavorful, and generous. The New England clam chowder was excellent: creamy, loaded with clams and potatoes, and even better once we added a little pepper and some oyster crackers. Overall, it was a classic New England seafood shack experience -- casual, delicious, and memorable. read more

Lobster roll was decent. The roll wasnt really crisp or as buttery as I'd like. Lobster bisque was really nice. My disappointment was the corn on the cob. It was soggy and had no flavor. It should still be in season. I think it was over-boiled. The staff lady who rung us up was very friendly. Beautiful view and half seating is under a canopy, which is appreciated. read more

Worst lobster roll ever. 1/4 lb hot lobster roll for $31 on a weak hotdog bun that was warmed on a grill and wasn't even buttered or toasted. Their hotdogs weren't any better either. There is nothing worse than paying for mediocre food. Save your money. There's other options near by that are much better. read more

Awesome little shack style restaurant in a super cute little town. I'd actually consider doing a 2-3 night rental and take a little vaca here. The lobster was sweet and buttery. The clam chowder was not overly creamy or too thick. It was perfect! The staff was super friendly too! read more

Honestly the reviews and influencers over hyped this place. This is not even in the top ten of lobster rolls that my husband and I have tried. There was not much lobster meat and what we did get was shredded?? Also why have none of the reviews mentioned it is Porto-potty only for bathrooms. . Tables aren't wiped down and the one actual sink for washing hands was out of soap. My real score is a 2.5 but rounding up because staff were friendly, the food came out quickly and the water view was nice. read more

Very disappointing experience. The lobster bisque tasted like thickened flour with almost no lobster flavor. It contained only a couple of small pieces of undesirable lobster meat and was honestly awful. The lobster roll was no better. It contained more undesirable pieces of lobster, was very dry, and I could barely taste any butter. The roll itself tasted dry and stale, which only made matters worse. The corn seemed either frozen or canned and was completely flavorless. The coleslaw was the one bright spot--it was fresh and actually quite good. Overall, the meal was overpriced for the quality received. Nothing about the food suggested care, attention to detail, or pride in the final product. Based on this experience, I would not return and would not recommend it to others. read more

We go to this wildly popular spot every year. It's the best of all the lobster places in my opinion, just ahead of the Lobster Pound in Guilford. Tender, buttery lobster in generous amounts on a special roll they get from VT in order to have one that tastes great and doesn't fall apart. Owner Enea Bacci is friendly, colorful and often on site. We've chatted with him a time or two. There's a great article about him here: http://tellnewengland.com/lobsterlanding. read more

every year i make my trip to lobster landing. This is my first disappointment with their lobster roll. It was just overcooked to be chewy. The lobster was like minced no chunks of lobster.Then came my last bite when a piece of shell cut my gum. So now i'm left with the taste of blood instead of a good memory of buttered lobster. Will i give them another chance most likely yes. read more

AMAZING!!!! I am usually finicky about lobster but this was soooo juicy and smothered in buttery deliciousness!! The meat was so tender and not chewy or over cooked! The coleslaw was perfect, not too much mayonnaise! The scenic view while eating is beautiful end to the day! Definitely worth the stop!!!

Disappointed-how this lobster roll makes it into the top 10 is a mystery. The roll was not toasted enough and the lobster wasn't that buttery. I've had a lot of lobster in my life and this place is overrated and overpriced. Two rolls with a bag of chips and a coke was $72. read more

You're right by the water, and there are tables in the shade (if you can find one!). Service was quick, even with a long line it didn't take long at all. This roll was good, not great. Market price for the lobster roll and although it is stated in the menu, it's a fairly small hot dog bun. What I did enjoy was the chunks of lobster, no filler at all. I wasn't a fan of the lobster bisque, but that's a personal preference. Spent $80 for two of us. Left still feeling hungry, so although it was delicious I don't think getting a double would be worth the price. Shame that inflation has gotten so high. read more

Lobster Landing - Lobster roll, clam chowder, lobster bisque - Seafood Markets Near Me - Clinton, Connecticut

3.5/5 (rounded up because of the clam chowder) I saw many social media posts about this spot and it definitely lived up to the charm of being a cute shed near the water serving up lobster rolls and chowders to locals and tourists. Is it the best lobster roll I have ever had? Not really. Was the clam chowder one of the best I've had in a while? Yes!! Lobster roll (1/4lb) $28 {3.5/5}: The lobster itself was buttery and naturally sweet, pretty good! The bread itself was a let down as it was dry and did not have much flavor or aroma that is more expected for a price point of $28/roll. What saves it is that it serves as a great vessel for that chowder.... Clam Chowder {5/5}: As the sign on the menu says, served HOT. Even in the heat wave we've been having, I thoroughly enjoyed this chowder. Our group unanimously agreed, best we've had in recent memory. Good amount of clam throughout and perfect richness that pairs well with the roll. I would come back just for this. Very friendly people and beautiful location. If you're in the area, check it out! read more

Waited 40 minutes for 2 overpriced lobster bisques and a claw chowder. The soup isn't made to order so the process needs to be updated (automatic 1 point deduction). The claw chowder was worth the price (not the wait). The lobster bisque did have some lobster in it (I think). Not enough to justify $9/bowl. I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Quality is decreasing! The taste of lobster roll is no good. The table and chair are not really clean. The price is hight too.

While visiting my Sister's beach house we made a point of stopping at Lobster Landing. We'd seen the Instagram posts and wanted to go. It's a little place on water with picnic benches. We walked up and could smell the divine lobster. We each got a roll and sat down. They were fantastic every single bite pure heaven. I would have gone first seconds but it's expensive. $104 with tip for 3 lobster rolls but worth it. read more

What can I say that hasn't been said? You come here for delicious hot lobster rolls (none of that cold Maine lobster roll stuff here). They're quite good. Excellent in fact. What stands out is that it's not drenched in butter that overwhelms the lobster. And there's a lot of lobster. And best of all it's actually the toll. It holds up quite well to it and doesn't fall apart. Plus it's darn tasty. Oh and the clam chowdah is delicious. A great example of the soup. Seating was in picnic tables right by the water which was lovely. We didn't wait too long even in the height of a Saturday summer afternoon. Just go if you want a lobster roll. At $26, it provided an afternoon of happiness. read more
