We came back to Ptown with one mission: buttered lobster rolls. After almost 4 years, it was the one thing we were craving. I had forgotten that our first stop on Commercial St. only do mayo lobster rolls. That's an instant no. So we ended up at Lobster Pot Express around the corner. This place is exactly what the name says: Express. No frills, just order at the counter, grab a seat at one of the picnic tables under the tent or take it to go. The menu is packed with seafood and as a pescatarian, I was in heaven. The "express" part is real: you order, wait a few and be on your way with the goods. At $33 ($35 with tax and stuff) we walked away with 2 generously-filled lobster rolls. We had tunnel vision and went straight for the "hot lobster roll," thinking butter-soaked heaven. Here's the catch: their idea of "hot" is just warm lobster meat. The drawn butter comes in a little container on the side. For me, a hot lobster roll means the lobster is already tossed in butter before it hits the bun. That tiny detail changes everything- but it wasn't totally a big deal. Pro tip: read the menu carefully. If you don't like pickles, beware- they stick a wedge under the roll making the bottom bun soak up that pickle juice and leaving it soggy. I ditched the bottom part and had the rest of my sandwich as an open-face and ate the rest with a fork. And even if you were into pickles let's say, why would you eat a soggy bun that's falling apart because it's been resting on a pickle??? The pickle needs to be wrapped separately point blank. The service is great though, the lobster portion was huge and if you're just here for the meat and the size, you'll walk away happy. read more

Rude service at the express and the portions are much smaller than at the restaurant. Very disappointing when you get excited for a lobster Roll and Clam chowder and it's such small portions. read more

Everything was terrible. Waited a hour for a burger and fish & chips. Multiple other customers who ordered after us got food prior. We tried to ask about status of our order and was just told "it's coming" with no sort of apology for the ridiculous wait. It wasn't even busy at the time we went. Also the staff member was very rude and acted like we were causing the inconvenience to them read more

average. More like a thick sauce than a true soup. Not bad, but not memorable either. I'm keeping an open mind and would try something else next time. We just wanted a quick soup after eating elsewhere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the small seating area is simple and functional. This express location is cheaper than the main restaurant and right by the water, so it's nice and sunny while you eat. A decent stop if you want a quick bite with a view, but don't expect anything spectacular. read more

My wife was craving a lobster roll all summer and as it was our second time of this summer spending a week in North Truro we took the shuttle into Provencetown and decided to try the Lobster Pot express. We made an excellent choice if I do say so myself. Her lobster roll was absolutely stuffed with lobster, just looking at it in comparison to photos from other area restaurants and their lobster roll offerings was evident. She wholeheartedly enjoyed it and said it was delicious. I ordered the clam with belly plate and although the portion wasn't as large as I get in the Ipswich Ma area, it was a great deal enough to fill me up and very fresh. The service was take out but the order came out very fast,and we easily got seats at their picnic tables Definitely a place to check out if you are coming to Provencetown. read more

Omg. I avoid being a Karen about restaurants but the food at the Lobster Pot Express is bleak. The lobster on the LOBSTER ROLL was flavorless except when dipped in butter and personally I like clams in my CLAM chowder. Yeah, avoid this place like COVID. Used to good, but that lobster boat has done sailed. read more

The food is great!! Well priced and wide variety. Second time going and will continue to go and recommend!! Freeka was wonderful/ polite and very helpful up front handling orders! See you next year read more

Lobster Pot Express - Lobster roll cold , with chips and Cajun fries - Seafood Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Perfect for when you want a lobster roll right now, without worrying about reservations or waiting for servers. There are a lot of other lobster options too, but I couldn't resist the hot lobster roll, which was delicious. Only complaint is that it seems extremely petty to charge people $1 for a cup of ice tap water when they're already paying $32 for a lobster roll. Hot Lobster Roll: This is exactly what I wanted whilst in Cape Cod. Tons of warm lobster overflowing from a buttered and toasted spilt top bun. Drawn butter served on the side to pour over as you need it. Most places call this a Connecticut Roll. Even though they can't muster the courage to call it that here, by any other name it's just as delicious. read more

Quick service, great flavor, excellent location! It was nice to be able to take the food and walk across the street to picnic tables on the beach and eat with a view! What an awesome location! We got the hot lobster roll with butter & the lobster grilled cheese! Both delicious! We also ordered a side of French fries. I would reorder the same order next time it was perfect! The bun of the lobster roll was grilled which really made it great! I would ask for a second roll next time so I have enough bread for the lobster read more

Absolutely best lobster roll I've had in the Cape. Generous portion, perfectly cooked, and great price! Fish sandwich was perfect too.Staff is very kind. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to Ptown a few times and never tried this place because I'd heard from others it was just okay. That was incorrect in my experience. I ordered the hot lobster roll and it was a amazing. The best I've had in Ptown...maybe the best I've had anywhere. read more

Super tasty food and ready super fast. This is basically the fast food takeout version of the nearby Lobster Pot. Since we wanted to order to go for the beach, we chose this place. Ordered via their website, very easy to navigate and order. We ordered three items, the Hot Salmon Roll, Salmon Poke, and Clam Chowder. Excellent, all three. Highly recommended. read more

Beware all Lobster Pot Express photos on their own site are taken with extreme close ups and probably wide angle lens to make their dishes appear much larger then they are! After eating at the Lobster Pot several times we thought we would give this a try! MISTAKE We ordered the $15 Tuna Poke NOT freshly made or fresh at all!!! came in a prepackaged container *** the 1/4 ( if that ) oz of tuna was slimy along with Gross seaweed ... total garbage from a-z We threw the whole joke out in hopes of preventing getting ill*** NEVER again counter help we're " couldn't care less as well Sad read more

So awesome there's a spot with a counter service Lobster Pot option! The Lobster Reuben & Lobster Salad sandwiches not only got the job done, but left us wanting more! Can't say enough good about them and the consistency they provide. read more

Lobster roll is my favorite along with chowda and a side of slaw. Chicken fingers are fried perfectly with fries. My order was quickly taken with little wait. The outdoor sitting is perfect for quick eat and continue on to your adventure, which is geocaching. I would recommend the express that offers the same food as the main restaurant. read more

Food is very expensive for such small portions, and was pretty unimpressed. The lobster bisque lacks a lot of flavor, lobster ravioli was good but not worth the price. Service was great. read more

This place totally hit the spot. As a big Bourdain fan, I think he would actually like this walk-up style window -- maybe even better than the especially (and exhaustively) long menu at the OG Lobster Pot. I was craving Lobster Bisque and after a few "meh" dishes in the Cape, I figured I'd have to try Lobster Pot. But, I balked at the long menu -- I was completely overwhelmed! Thankfully, the Lobster Pot Express offers a highlight/best-of menu from the OG location -- and it did not disappoint. A few cute, covered tables are available on their patio and it was the perfect spot to hide from the wind and enjoy a Lobster Bisque and loaded fries lunch. I'd like to just say ... the bisque was perfection. While there were no huge chunks of lobster, it was perfectly diced and incorporated throughout the cup. Every bite had morsels of lobster and the thickness was just right. (And, if it was cooked with sherry, it was hardly noticeable, which is my preference!) My husband also got the basket of chicken fingers and they were delish, too. All in all... let's just say it's been over a week and I'm still craving round 2 of this bisque. (@Lobster Pot Express, have you thought about joining Goldbelly??) read more

Lobster Pot Express - Cup of lobster bisque and loaded fries. Perfection. - Seafood Near Me - Provincetown, Massachusetts

Very disappointed. We went for lunch recently and ordered 2 lobster roll sandwiches . It said Market price on the menu. When the attendant said our order was ready, she announced it was $82.00. We were floored. Since it had already been made, we felt obligated to pay for it. While making payment, she had this look like don't forget to tip me... So folks, if you want 2 lobster rolls and a tip for the service person, lunch will set you back nearly $100.00. On top of that, the sandwiches were only average size and taste. This was totally out of line for our order. We have had much better and larger lobster rolls for $25.00 each in town. Our advice... stay away from Lobster Pot Express! Obviously they are geared for unknowing tourists , all of whom we hope read this review before ordering from this place. read more

I had a last minute lunch today, take out. The kind person taking orders and taking payment was lovely and very friendly. Everything was very fast and efficient. The tuna poke bowl appetizer was just that, a very small portion but pretty darn good. The lobster was a hard pass. Very disappointing. Soggy roll and dry flavorless lobster. read more

It's a small, seafood shack and a little pricey being in a tourist area but overall the food was decent. I had the shrimp roll, and there's a generous amount of shrimp. It's fresh and lightly fried. Add a dash of lemon juice! The fish and chips were delicious as well - the fries were crispy and well fried, and the fish filets were lightly fried and tasted fresh. The lobster bisque was not bad either. read more

The clam chowder was watery. When I told them, they said it must have been a bad batch and did nothing

This is an "express" location for the famous Lobster Pot. The location is very convenient - we got a lobster roll with chips and chicken tender with fries. The lobster roll came with a small bag of Cape Cod chips, Cole slaw and a pickle. The value for money for the lobster roll ($26) was not great, especially since the chips were just a small bag of chips. The lobster meat was tasty but served cold. The pickle had no flavor. The chicken tenders were basic tenders and the fries were probably the best part of the meal unfortunately. This is an okay location if you're looking for a fast meal (and the service was relatively fast), but food unfortunately is not the forte. There are a few picnic tables at this location as well and a public restroom about 200 feet away. read more

Note: lazy lobster does not include tail. Or much lobster. Just some sad overcooked chunks of claw. Not worth $28. I had this one in Connecticut, including salad for only $4 more. I love the lobster pot, but I wouldn't order anything but a lobster roll for the express location. read more

Honestly, the best food I've had in Cape Cod. My family and I tried many different places while we were out there and this was by far the best food we've had out there. We had the chicken sandwich, burgers and lobster roll with the street corn, let me just say we were speechless with the way it was seasoned and cooked. Will most definitely go back to this spot every time I visit!! read more

Wonderful meal where we could bring our dogs. The folks at the counter were very nice and helpful on a stressful day. Thanks Ann Marie !! read more
