Just went to water wizz on this HOT day. Stop at lobster pot for a lobster roll and it was DELICIOUS!! WELL WORTH IT. Clam chowder is just OK but the fish & chip was good. I probably won't go out my way to travel from Boston but I will DEFINITELY come back when I go back to Water Wizz!! read more

Best steamed lobster , steamers, fried clam strips!!! Had to come off the Cape to get it this good. We spotted a 10 pounder in the tank ! Settled for one 2lb and one 3lb. Fresh and delicious. Highly recommend ! read more

So I love Lobster Pot BUT I'm still only giving it a 3-star review because, honestly, that's all it deserves. You can tell it's an establishment that was once a glorified seafood eatery that both locals and tourists enjoyed. The faded awards on the wall, all are from prior to 2010. The "best clam chowder" is watery at best with chunks of potato and a few clams. The steamers that I love have slowly over time become more gritty and sandy, despite thoroughly dunking it in the cleaning broth. The service can be slow but most likely a result of the lines that form during the summer months. So why do I still go here? Because there are few places that I can go and get a fisherman's platter with lobster, steamers, and corn on the cob in one meal for under $35. Also, if the mood strikes I can get a 5lb lobster. What this place lacks in quality, it certainly doesn't lack in quantity. There is something on their menu that everyone will love. I'm not huge on fried seafood, but I've had the scallops and clams and both were solid. Not a Cape Cod staple like it once was, but still worth stopping by if you've got a craving. read more

I have eaten here frequently and it's good. It's an "in the rough" style restaurant, no table wait service. As someone who lives in the general area I never buy lobsters or steamers as I prefer to get them myself can cook them. Other than that this is a very good and authentic New England seafood restaurant. read more

Everything, fried as well as steamed foods, was delicious & cooked perfectly. Everyone was pleasant as well.

I have always had good food here. Its fried seafood, that's what's advertised and that's what you get. I have eaten fried seafood all over New England over the years and to me this is as good as it gets. Today I had a calamari platter, a generous portion of both fries and calamari, not sure why there are negative posts about the portions. It could be considered pricey I guess but to be honest this kind of food in NE always is. The restaurant has always been clean with plenty of room to sit, lots of parking even during tourist months. The staff are attentive and friendly. I come here at least once each year. read more

Lobster Pot - Calamari and chips (French fries) with a stuffed quahog. Wonderful with some malt vinegar - Seafood Near Me - East Wareham, Massachusetts

I ordered the seafood casserole. It's doesn't fill you up. Also they don't remove the shell! They've got to do better for $30!!

This place was just what I wanted. Super traditional seafood restaurant for the best lobster roll I've ever had. Seriously scrumptious huge pieces of lobster and they didn't scrimp at all. I also noticed the place was refreshingly clean and kept up! Good job! read more

I read the reviews and decided to try it for myself. The reviews are correct. Good but not great. The crab roll was Good and packed with crab, the Lobster roll it was missing something the Lobster just wasn't what I was expecting. The clam chowder, don't do it. The clam chowder was definitely watered down. Do your self a favor order something small to taste and go from there. I just don't think it was worth the $56. price for two. The counter girl was very nice and friendly :) Will l return to the Lobster Pot probably not. read more

This place has gone sooo downhill. Prices have increased and portions have decreased. They refuse to make substitutions or even small accommodations. For example, I asked for the fries to be packed separately in the fisherman's platter I ordered and they refused. I support this business year round and my last few experiences haven't been great. Step it up Lobster Pot, theres a lot of great seafood in the area with much better prices and bigger portions! read more

Overall, I don't think I'd come back. Let me explain. Update: I won't be going back, because the food did not sit well AT ALL. Perhaps I'm not the best person to review a seafood place, being someone that isn't a seafood fan. The family is, so we went for a birthday. I got a cheeseburger, and this has to be the first time in my life I've gotten a burger with absolutely nothing... at all. No condiments, the cheese was thrown on at the very end, and was clearly made next to a grilled cheese. I could have wrung out the bottom bun. No fries... nothing at all. The family got fish, and the portions are so tiny for the price. Three people, almost $50, and small amounts of food. The atmosphere is nice, the people are friendly, and even though it's Pepsi, not Coke, there's a selection of beer/wine that's decent. It's too expensive for too little. Cheers. read more

Just a tourist, so I may not know enough about what to expect from a roadside stop. The service was good but the food was overpriced and honestly just awful. The lobster roll was in a small styrofoam flip box and the coleslaw in small container. Yes, a pandemic, but there must be more eco-friendly container options. The roll had way too much mayonnaise for me, I picked through the little lobster that what was there leaving behind a soaked bun and the coleslaw wasn't great, soggy and inedible. The sweet tea, must be from a mix as it had an odd aftertaste or was old. I do expect that if I would have complained, a refund would have been received but I didn't feel right about doing so when Covid has made life for everyone so difficult. I also don't dispute that other items could be very good. But I would advise on giving this one a pass, especially if your not familiar with the area offerings. read more

Stopped in today for a early dinner. Only 4 other people inside. We order the seafood platter, shrimp platter and jumbo hotdog. All 3 meals had a generous amount of seafood the fries are OK and the hotdog was huge. No real complaints about the food, prices are steep but the amount you get is worth it. read more

Had one of the best Fish Sandwiches today. Breading was light and not greasy on a buttered toasted roll. Will be back to try other fried foods. read more

I enjoy coming here the food is fresh and tasty it's very clean and comfortable inside my favorites are the lobster rolls and the raw bar combo 4 oysters 4 clams and 8 shrimp cocktail 19.99 read more

http://imgur.com/fF00QU4 I went in by myself for the second time " Glutton for punishment" The only staff that spoke English was the one taking my money, and she did it with a smile. $40 bucks for a seafood platter. So I'm guessing the smile was for "SUCKER" live & learn. The food tasted good, I guess I'm just used to not leaving a restaurant still hungry after I drop two Jacksons on a plate Actually, in all honesty, it was $39.95 I got it to go! I asked the cook a question & all he could answer was "yes , yes" however it wasn't a yes or yes question. A few months ago I got a whole clam plate and there were around 9 clams total So I figured perhaps the cook was hungry I will try it again with all the good reviews Fair to say there won't be a 3rd time read more

Lobster Pot - REALITY PIC This is what $40 gets you. I took the tartar & slaw off the plate for a good look , Tastes good but left hungry - Seafood Near Me - East Wareham, Massachusetts

I had a lobster roll, some onion rings, a couple fried whole bellied clams, and a fried oyster. Wicked big chunks of super fresh lobster! The onion rings were delicious and surprisingly no greasy after taste. The 2 clams and 1 oyster I devoured were juicy scrumptious!!! The only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5 is the price... $17.99 for a lobster roll that came a la carte. read more

Really good lobster roll and clam strips!! The onion rings were delicious too. I will be back.

Tourist trap! Food was decent but way overpriced. We had the fried fisherman's platter for $41 thinking it would serve 2 people and it was not enough food. Employees were really not very friendly either and seemed disengaged. The lobster roll was very good and fairly priced but we would still not go back. I really expect a large portion if the price is that high. Our bill was $92 for 4 people and one of us just ordered a cheeseburger. Do not recommend. read more

Huge platters, excellent fried whole clams, sweet! Killer chowdah, chock full & clammy. Super nice staff, free refills, great experience! read more

What a find! My family and I got dinner there last night and it was so delicious. We got the twin lobsters, clam chowder and clam strip dinners. The three of us split the clam strip dinner as an appetizer. The lobsters were hot and fresh. Great sizes for a twin deal. The clam chowder was so yummy. We did pick and it was ready pretty quickly. Highly recommend if you love seafood. We will be back before our vacation ends. read more

Great food. Consistently good service. Help them make it through the pandemic. They are working hard to survive.

Food was delicious! Too bad we were just passing through. We'll definitely be back when we're in town

Okay this place is the real deal! OMG the best lobster roll ever! Sweet lobster meat in a roll perfectly toasted. Add a small amount of mayo and Voila! You have a remarkable lobster roll! The best ever and clearly the best near the Cape. read more

A bit pricey but tasty. Ordered 2 Lobster Rolls, 2 cups of Clam Chowder, 1-Onion Ring & 2 small sodas. $91.00 + tip.

Usually a good stop. Today not so much. I ordered fries, a lobster roll, and a frappe. My boyfriend got fish and chips and a frappe. Neither of our fries were salted when hot. The salt doesn't stick after they cool. My lobster roll, while over flowing, had soft meat. I'm not complaining about that maybe it's the time of year that made the meat soft. I love lobster and it would take a lot for me to complain about it. It's the rest of the visit that has caused me to decide never to go back. The frappe was a milkshake not a frappe. Frappes are thick. We are in New England get with it. Don't call it a frappe when it's a milkshake. When our number was called and we walked up to the counter to get the food and there were no frappes accompanying the food. I had to ask twice- the first time the person didn't understand my question as to where our drinks were she just smiled and nodded like that would make me walk away. The second time she looked around and figured it out. The waitstaff is clearly not in tune with the diners, and there seems to be a bit of a language barrier now, that wasn't an issue before. I won't be back I can make food at home for the 52.00 and change I dropped there and have it the way it should be. Good practice would be to speak to all the patrons. We watched other patrons get visited by management and I believe we were overlooked on purpose. The management visited a booth full of men who might have been animal control personnel from another town and the other management personnel seemed to hover behind the counter areas. Both men had eye contact but no follow through. I'm very disappointed as I live close by and have been going there off and on for over 25 years. read more

One of the best restaurants around for fresh seafood. The owners only sell top quality fish, scallops, clams, etc. Every time we've gone there, the food and service has been 5 stars. Only issues for some may be the prices (a bit high) and the casual self-serving style they use. But you get what you pay for, especially seafood. read more

The seafood platter was good just needed a little salt, and small platter for $30. The clam chowder was very bland and mostly just cream hard to find clams in it. Had fun sitting outside they were co Stanton outside cleaning the tables which was awesome. I don't know if I would go back though read more

As a local I go here very often to get there fried lobster (Lazyman) dinner. Today, I was there and was appalled when I looked to see only 4 pisces of semi-fried lobster. I couldn't believe it so I went back in and was told this is the normal amount we give for this dinner two claws and one tail. Mind you the lobster wasn't even battered looked like they pulled it out of a frozen can and threw it in oil. The manager took my food and didn't even try to ask if I would like something else on the menu. He just gave me a receipt stating my order was voided. I will not be going here at all and certainly don't recommend the small portions for such high prices ! TOURIST TRAP !!! read more

Fun place. I love how fresh the buns are. delicious light flaky breaded fried food. I like it here alot. Relaxing atmosphere. one warning... you might be angered by the fact that they have Fox News on the television. I prefer my seafood without a large helping of insane political conspiracy theories and lies. read more

We visited on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly not that busy. Lobster rolls were very tasty with plenty of big chunks of meat. French fries are the salty stringy kind that pair well with the cool crisp cole slaw. The clam chowder was also very fresh and tasty. For the prices I would expect larger portions but I also understand market prices vary so it's hard to rate off that. For a family of 2 adults and 3 big kids plus a toddler our check was average at about ~100 with drinks which come with free refills. Outdoor seating was nice but the AC inside was better :) read more

Was there over the summer. Even though it was the night before Phantom gourmet was to be there ( you would think chaos ) they had it all together. Great clean air, not a heavy fried feel or smell, very clean as usual. Food was great, fresh and reasonably priced. Loved that you can shop for fresh fish to bring home and cook also. read more

Decent place. I had a lobster roll and chowder with fries. The roll and chowder were good and I'd come back for them. Great New England staple. However, they really need to season their fries or something because I thought I accidentally started eating cardboard for a second. Sorry for the little dig...easy thing to improve upon if they care. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered the seafood platter. The price was 29.95 . I don't mind paying for quality. The portions were lacking. The clam strips tasted like fried rubber bands, the 3 scallops reminded me of a frozen fish entree from Gorton's of Gloucester. The tiny portion of shrimp tasted like it was fried in yesterday's grease. The fish portion was ok but very small, probably about 2 ounces. The fries and cole slaw were passible but not plentiful. The 2 stars were given because the food was hot and available during the pandemic. There are other fish restaurants less than a stone's throw away. I recommend anyplace other than The Lobster Pot. read more

I've only come here a few times in the past few years, but I've never been disappointed. The food is fresh, the service is wonderful! I had dinner here last night with a girlfriend and the experience was great. We showed up about 20 minutes before close and were greeted as if we were the first customers of the day. The girl at the register was so pleasant and assured us that it was no trouble than we showed up at the time we did. We ordered a dozen oysters, steamers, clam strips, and fish & chips. Everything tasted delicious, as if it were July on Cape Cod. We also ordered a bottle of wine, which a nice man was nice enough to let us sample first. I couldn't have been happier with the experience! read more

they scammed us for $340. the lobster was so bad it smelt like rotten ass. the people who work there are disgusting and rude. but overall if u want shitty ass overpriced food then definitly get food from here ! read more

Good beer, better chowder, good lobster roll - it's the off season so not crowded. Probably a zoo during the summer but good worth it. Similar to Monahans in Narragansett. read more

It was very good. Enjoyed the lobster roll and clam strips. Fairly priced for that amount of lobster.
