    Lobster BLT
    David C.

    Cute place tucked in among other small business right at the head of entrance to Olcott. You can park along the main street, a small lot in front, the row of parking on Lockport St or park in the village and walk over. I arrived right around noon, the line was out the door and the patio full already...the doors had just opened! My goal for this mission was the lobster BLT I saw on their menu posted on Instagram. So far there doesnt appear to be a website, so following their social media is the way to go. Right now the process is fairly simple, the main entrance is the door between the other shops. Upon entry you'll walk up to the open kitchen and ordering counter. After placing your order your name will be taken and the food will be brought out to you. Currently there is only patio seating, most likely due to the seasonal nature of the area. After what seemed like a short wait, my food was nearly brought out to me. Although I would devour so many things, being a lobster lover I ordered only the lobster BLT. The lobster BLT is magic. Iceberg lettuce, tomato, bacon (perfect balance of crisp and fatty) between two well toasted slices of bread. This sandwich is magical. (The only thing to make it more magical would be a spread of Miracle Whip. I know! Im a salad dressing gurlie). But really, this sandwich needs nothing but a hungry person to consume it.

    Absolutely delicious! Enjoyed everything we had (lobster roll flight, lobster bisque, and fried shrimp with handmade chips). Plenty of seating and relatively quick considering that it was busy. Well organized. Plenty of beverage options.

    This 5 star rating is on the food only.... IT WAS THE BEST LOBSTER IN NYS !!! The lobster was absolutely fantastic... I had the lobster flight ... Which includes: 3oz Maine lobster roll ( cold lobster ( like with mayo ) 3oz Connecticut lobster roll ( warm lobster roll with butter ) 3oz of lobster roll with Calabrian chilies- The homemade chips were good The Hawaiian slaw was good... If you want anything better, you'd have to go to the state of Maine... and you'd get the same thing...annnnd have to travel hundreds of miles to get it... Now let's talk about the restaurant.... 1st off, I'm not sure if this is actually a new place as I would have thought it's ... just an unknown place. There is no indoor seating... all outdoor... Which would have been nice but the Canadian wildfire smoke up north in olcott was a tad heavy, so it woulda been nice to eat inside... but there is no inside 2nd'ly .. the wait line was long, no shade... stood in line for 45 minutes just to get in the door, then you look at the menu on the wall and immediately order and pay right then and there at the register and walk outside to about a dozen mismatched outdoor tables, some with shade umbrellas , some not. Then you wait for the woman bringing food to you for another 20 minutes ( not too bad ) but she gave me anxiety watching her run around like a chicken with her head cut off.. I unfortunately had gone during peak lunch hours... ( when we left the establishment, I looked back ((3:30pm)) and there was no line ) But it was delicious... I gotta admit...lol . It was worth the wait in flavor alone... There was a two person band playing and that was great - it wasn't too loud... just enough to enjoy my meal... The price I paid for these lobster meals was appropriate for what we got - definitely in line with the standard cost of lobster. I was a little puzzled as where the restaurant was because I could not find a sign, so look for the small ferris wheel on the left side of main st and it's right there. I did get a punch card, three punches down, nine to go and I get a free meal!!!!

    This restaurant popped up on my FB feed, had to come check it out. Very cute little place with outdoor seatings only. You order at the counter, they bring the food out. Menu is almost all lobster related, some shrimp. Sides with tater tots, chips and slaw. I got the lobster rolls flight to try all three types of lobster rolls, Maine, Connecticut and Olcott (spicy). I also got the Hawaiian slaw, coleslaw with pineapple chucks. Each lobster rolls in the flight has 3 oz meat, if order just one roll, it has 5 oz meat. They didn't skimp on the meat at all. All freshly made after you order. All tasted delicious. Service is friendly and quick. They open at noon, I got there at 11:38, and I was the 5th, at 11:50, there were more than 30 in line. It's not a place you linger, so it moved pretty fast. Parking can be in the lot by the restaurant or in town. They charge an extra fee for using a credit card to pay. Menu prices are for paying with cash.

    Super cute place with excellent lobster rolls. Lines are usually long but they move fast. Prices are very good. Highly recommend the lobster roll flight.

    My wife, daughter, and I drove up to Olcott Lobster Company for the first time yesterday. It was a nice 40 minute ride up there on a beautiful late summer day! We found parking and joined the very active line which moved along steadily. A pleasant young staff member brought out copies of the menu for us to look over prior to ordering. We waited in line for 30-35 minutes before placing our order. We were given "beeper" device and found a table on the back patio area. The 15-20 minutes for our order to come out passed quickly as we chatted and listened to a really nice pane that was playing on the corner, so visitors on both patios could hear. Our food was delivered to our table by a friendly young lady who was eager for us to try it. My wife and daughter enjoyed their Connecticut Rolls as much as I loved my Lobster Roll Flight (New England Style (cold with mayo), Connecticut Roll (warm and buttery), and Olcott Fire Roll (warm and buttery with Calabrian peppers)). We also enjoyed their Connecticut Rolls sides that we tried which included the House Made Chips with Old Bay Dusting, the Hawaiian Slaw (SO GOOD!), and the Tator Tots (deep fried with a nice crunch and tender potato center). Thank you, Olcott Lobster Co., for bringing a little bit of New England to this beautiful area. You have done an incredible job in your debut year for absolutely nailing the feel and flavor that I would expect to find in a coastal New England hot spot. We will be back before you close for the season!

    Service was outstanding. Little ambiance. Food not so great, left much to be desired, not worth the high prices.

    Sunset Bar & Grill - Tuna tower and calamari

    The Sunset Bar & Grill just gets better and better. The menu has seen a lot of updates in recent…read moreyears. Nobody ever wants to share the tuna nachos or tuna tower with me, but the calamari is great. I just wish there was a little more calamari and less salad. We always get the bourbon burgers. I like the bourbon burgers at Neat a little bit more, but they're still a solid choice here. They always taste great, and they're always medium rare to order. I haven't been as crazy about the natural cut fries, which could use more flavor, but the burgers more than make up for it. Drinks are great. My favorite is the stag party, a Red Stag based cocktail. The electric blue lemonade is also fun. They have a lot of musical acts during the summer. We always make a point of coming when Nerds Gone Wild plays but usually end up visiting once or twice more in the summer, especially to meet up with friends. Service is excellent. The venue is beautiful with lots of outdoor seating, and comfortable lounge chairs around a firepit.

    Staff was phenomenal, seated us right away. The bartender was funny, dancing behind the bar. We sat…read moreoutside so we could see the water, what a beautiful view of all the boats and cute little beach houses. Food was good, I got shrimp tacos and my sister got the ahi tuna nachos. The shrimp tacos were good but could have used a little more flavor. The ahi nachos were superb though ! Beautiful place to eat a bit pricey but you pay for the ambience and excellent service. Had a great time !
