I got the classic lobster roll ($21) and it was made in about 10 minutes. The lobster was great and tasted amazing with the butter and lemon. The bread was buttered and toasted. I really enjoyed the sandwich but the size is definitely a little small which made me want to get two to actually fill me up. Inside was a bit small and they had some patio space outside. I really enjoyed the overall experience with this lobster roll and it was definitely on the more affordable side compared to other experiences I've had. Food(50%): 8.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 7.5/10

I've visited Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls twice, and both times, I had a pretty good experience. On my first visit, I tried the Connecticut Roll along with the lobster bisque. The roll was simple but satisfying. It was warm and buttery. The bisque was rich and creamy, though I would've loved a bit more depth in flavor. The second time around, I went for the lobster roll again but also tried the new warm crab roll. Both were good, but I really enjoyed the extra side of butter I ordered to drizzle over everything, it took the richness up a notch. Service was quick, and the space had a casual vibe. My only small critique is that for the price, I expected just a bit more in portion size or flavor complexity. Still, if you're craving a quality lobster roll without traveling far, Mason's is a good choice.

I've been to the northeast once before and definitely crave a good lobster roll from time to time, which Mason's Famous Lobster Roll meets that satisfaction. We chose to order Mason's soup combo, which consisted of $1 off one of Mason's famous lobster rolls and choice of soup between lobster bisque or clam chowder. We decided to get the class roll (lobster served chilled with light may & lemon butter) and clam chowder. The bread roll was crispy and buttery. There were decent sized lobster chunks. I personally would have enjoyed it with a little more mayo to make it creamier. The lobster roll also came with a pickle that was crunchy and juicy. Clam chowder was delicious and creamy. It would have been nice to have a little more clams since there were a lot of potatoes. Customer service was 10/10. The employee was very accommodating and offered to cut our lobster roll in half, since we were sharing one for a light bite. She also gave us two bags of the oyster crackers for our one soup. Overall, the store is small with few tables and some bar seats along the window, but very clean.

My first visit at this new restaurant that has been open for a month or two. A quaint shop with chill atmosphere and simplistic light decor! Instantly greeted by staff and offered the special of 15% off grilled Mac n cheese lobster roll. I unfortunately could not accept due to dairy intolerance. There are several styles of lobster rolls but I went with their classic roll to start with & very light butter. Came with a dill pickle! Delicious!

Mason's is now on my list of go-to's to satisfy a lobster roll craving. There was a fair portion of lobster in the roll and mac & cheese. I thought the lobster roll size was slightly larger than some competitors and priced at $20 which is cheaper than most. I liked that the roll came with a pickle because it helped contrast the butter. The mac & cheese was too runny for our taste but it has potential and was still enjoyable. It's a casual place with limited indoor seating and waiting space. They do have some outdoor seating available, which I would recommend to get some fresh air away from the kitchen smells. They have online ordering and an app. I'd order in advance next time to avoid waiting.

Lobster bisque and clam chowder

First of all, the customer service was 10/10! They were all so nice! The place is a little small but it was clean for the most part. No complaints there. We got the classic lobster roll, the crab roll, the clam chowder, and the lobster bisque. It is an extra $6 to add lobster meat to the bisque but it was worth it. It was delicious. Clam chowder was just okay. The butter on the rolls were 10000000/10!!! To me, that was the best part. The crab roll was a little sweet and had a very strong lemon flavor. Not my favorite but it was good. The classic lobster roll... the only thing that could have made that better was a side of melted butter to dip it in. That is big back activity but if it was offered, I would have gotten it! We will be back!

Got take out from Mason's recently after seeing it in passing and wanting to try it out. Forgot to take a picture once I got home but I got the Connecticut and husband got a warm crab roll. Both were simple, yummy and just what you would expect. Happy to have a place to get a good lobster roll in Midlothian. We ended up getting tots and the lobster Mac and cheese as sides. Our order total was about $70. I know lobster rolls are always pretty expensive so I wasn't mad at the price but it'd be nice to have a side included even if it added a couple dollars for a meal price. If I went back I'd get the rolls and skip the sides because they were lackluster compared to the sandwiches. The restaurant was clean and decorated for St. Patrick's day, and the staff were sweet to my toddler who was pretty inquisitive while we were waiting. Overall good experience and if I'm craving a lobster roll, I'll come back again.

I stopped by the new location and got a lobster salad that was simply amazing. The lobster was fresh and delicious and the ingredients in the salad complimented it very well. House made dressing delicious as well. I also got a free red potato salad (just say I love lobster at checkout) which was also delicious. Nice addition to Short Pump.

Lobster bisque done wrong

Make the lobster bisque edible. The cream base was curdled and grainy. The extra lobster I paid $7.00 for was two measly pieces.

Lobster Salad roll
Janet L.

It's a nice option to have in Midlothian since I don't love a deli sandwich! I got the Lobster Salad roll, the mayo, celery and lemon were light, but surprisingly flavorful. I've learned that while I love to eat whole lobster in drawn butter ... I don't love a warm lobster roll, it's just not as flavorful as a cold lobster roll. I also tried the clam chowder, it wasn't bad, but is it bad for me to say that the Clam Shack's refrigerated clam chowder you can get at Costco/BJ's/Sam's club is chunkier and tastier? At any rate, it was good to try, not sure I would frequent it all the time as I think getting something like a poke bowl I get more bang for my buck, it's actually cheaper! Still a good option to have in Midlothian though!

Granite Grill continues to be one of my favorite local dining spots, and Tuesday evening's visit…read morewas another reminder of why I keep coming back! I stopped in around 7 PM and grabbed a seat at the bar. I wasn't particularly hungry, so I opted for a lighter dinner featuring the Crispy Chili Shrimp, a dish I'd enjoyed previously and had been craving ever since. The shrimp were absolutely delicious, coated in a sesame-garlic chili glaze with just the right amount of mild heat. Nothing overpowering, just a pleasant little zing. The accompanying honey ponzu dipping sauce was delightful and complemented the shrimp beautifully. I started with an excellent dirty martini, perfectly prepared without needing a single adjustment, and later enjoyed a glass of Château Routas rosé. I'm partial to a good dry, Provençal-style rosé, and this one was exactly what I wanted--crisp, refreshing, and delightfully dry without any unnecessary sweetness. Service was terrific throughout the evening. Attentive without being intrusive, with all the appropriate touchpoints and impeccable timing. It's that comfortable balance of hospitality that makes dining here such a pleasure. The atmosphere is equally impressive. The lighting, ambiance, and overall vibe are just right. While the bar had plenty of available seating that evening, the dining room was packed, and the parking lot was bustling--a testament to how popular this neighborhood staple has become. What keeps me returning to Granite Grill is its consistency. The food quality, service, atmosphere, and staffing are always on point. I've introduced several friends and family members to this restaurant, and their experiences have been just as positive as mine. Granite Grill is a dependable local favorite that consistently delivers a wonderful dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for a cocktail and appetizer or settling in for a full dinner, it's a place I wholeheartedly recommend. Five stars, once again!

It's a beautiful space and very quiet while we were there which was important to my party. Everyone was very happy with their starters and meals. We ordered the Beet Salad, hush puppies and a few side salads to start. Main dishes ordered were the Mediterranean salad - my uncle practically licked the plate, the Hanger steak was perfectly cooked as were the crab cakes and burger. I had the salmon salad and it was the perfect size. The lemon dressing was delicious too...not too tart. We finished with the brownie sundae and it was so good. The perfect ending. Service was fantastic and very attentive. We were well cared for.

Food, service, ambiance, always on point. Never had a bad dish. Go. Eat…read more And TIP YOUR SERVERS

We had a very underwhelming, near disappointing, visit to Bluefish Grill several years ago and was…read morerecommended to give it a try again recently. Definitely wanted to go in with a clean slate, knowing how many things for a restaurant can change in three or four years. I have to downgrade to one star though based on this week's dinner. I really don't see where there's a quality of food, flavor, friendly service or atmosphere that doesn't register as a fail. We were dining with a few other families (the place holds about 8 or so tables max) and another guy I could tell totally loves this place - it's an understatement to say that I don't get it. I really don't. I honestly feel like Gordon Ramsey's "Kitchen Nightmares" needs to go in and explain to them everything they doing wrong - because where do you start... Everything we ordered was overcooked, or cooked incorrectly and was not delicious, much less impressive. Let's be specific - the fried calamari was heavily battered and over cooked, the octopus balls were overcooked on the outside and offered an overly hot unidentifiable soup on the inside, and the fish & chips were basically two overcooked large triangles of thin fish and thick breading so the experience was a crunchy, dry thin processed piece of fried something that, whether visibly or by flavor, had no real indication there was fish present inside the deep fried breaded triangle. Service is beyond blah, it's indifferent. I dont mind the small dive atmosphere whatsoever, but at that point there's actually nothing I can point out of pleasure, value or reward for going here. What a place. Not a single smile, no warm greeting or any sentiment that anyone's glad you're there. No time for you. Just tell me what you want. Despite being a tiny place it does not guarantee your table might be walked by a dozen times while youre obviously ready and waiting to order. It always strikes me when a place is slow to serve you or give you proper attention but quick to bring you your check. I'm glad some people like it enough to keep it in business, but I don't get it. All I see is room for improvement , by which I mean needs for improvement - everywhere. I wish I took pictures of our meal but I didn't want to denigrate or erode the time we were having with a friend of ours. Taking pics of this food would have been too obvious and I really wanted to focus on enjoying our company regardless of the fact that I'm definitely going out again tomorrow night to reset my palate and have a total do-over. *Update, we did head over to The Flying Pig the next night where we can always count on having a high-quality friendly experience - and great good. The next day was Saturday and we went for dinner at Penny Lane Pub, again where we could count on a delicious meal and a welcoming, friendly environment. At that point I had mostly forgotten the regret I had held over from the second and final time we'll ever give Bluefish Grill a shot. The owner's attitude, of saying "then why do you come back", rather than being curious about what they could do better tells it all. An owner who stubbornly asserts everything's perfect, it's the customer who's the problem I've seen before - and in the long term it doesn't bode well for the business.
