First time is Boston so I figured let me check the lobster roll and clam chowder off my list. Although there are many places and other cuisines to choose from, something about this spot caught my eye in the Faneuil Hall Market. This place is in food hall, so you will need to find a place to sit or stand to eat. The line was long, which is a good sign but the service was quick. The price is steep ($40) but it looks like this is the price everywhere in Boston. The roll was filled with lobster chunks, I didn't feel swindled. The clam chowder was also very tasty. I'm glad they offered a combo! read more

The world famous Quincy's Market houses many vendors and experiences worth trying while in Boston. You can wind up spending a whole day in the area or simply at the market in and of itself. There are 3 distinct Quincy's Markets that offer a whole variety of food options and local produce and souvenirs; there's so much to choose from and do. Wicked Lobster is definitely up there when it comes to some of the best Lobster Rolls I've had in the New England Area, but the price vs portion ratio was a bit off. Honestly, I just wish navigating the market without spending $100 at just one of the vendors was more common. Some people argue you'd be better off getting food elsewhere instead of the market for seating and portion control, but I'm glad I gave Quincy's a shot. The history and prestige of visiting the spot is worth going on its own and the food is genuinely good quality and fresh. The whole area is near the water is branching off from the Freedom Trail, so the atmosphere and vibes are high and full of adventure and exploration. Pay Quincy's a visit and give the vendors a shot if you're not afraid to spend some money for the day. read more

Quincy market is fully stacked with tons of restaurants with diversity but wicked lobsta had the longest line and I came to Boston for a crab roll. Thankfully the line moves fast but usually a line for a place means they got something worth waiting for. The crab roll was incredibly savory and fresh tasting. The bread itself went well with the crab salad, and it feels like something you could have as something light to eat if you aren't super hungry. read more

Wicked Lobster: Quick and Okay, But Overpriced. Located inside the bustling Quincy Market food stalls, Wicked Lobster serves up fast seafood with a distinctly tourist heavy vibe. The staff at the counter won't win any awards for hospitality. When it was my turn to order, the cashier just blankly said, "Yeah?", which felt pretty unwelcoming. However, the service was incredibly fast, and I quickly found a nearby standup stall to eat. I ordered the hot buttered lobster roll. This was my first ever lobster roll, and it was honestly just okay. The butter flavor didn't really shine through, and the bread roll itself was pretty soggy. It was definitely not worth the $34 price tag. As an Asian, hot sauce is my ketchup, so I was thrilled they offer Cholula at the counter. Dousing the whole thing in hot sauce definitely improved the flavor profile and saved the meal. If you are already exploring the market, definitely look for another stall because the low quality and bland flavor does not justify the high price. read more

Lobster rolls are a must when in Boston. I like coming to Quincy market and exploring the different shops. This visit I chose wicked lobsta because he stopped us and had us try the clam chowder. My youngest loves clam chowder and the taste of the sample was so delicious we wanted more. I ended up getting the seafood sampler special that came with 4 lobster rolls (lobster, mixed seafood, seafood salad and crab) 2 clam chowders and 2 drinks. For $49.99 this was definitely a deal for Boston. As we waited for our order we walked around to see what other ships were nearby and to my surprise he came out and walked our order to us! What great service! read more

Stopped by Wicked Lobsta during a trip for Red Sox Opening Day with a friend who needed the full Boston experience and that obviously means a proper lobster roll. Been here a few times , so it was a no brainer that still delivers. Went with the hot butter roll because that is the only way to do it and it was exactly what you want rich, fresh, and on point. Added the lobster mac and cheese to round things out. It was good, just didn't hit quite as hard as I remember. My friend left happy though, so that's a win. If you haven't been it's def a spot worth checking out! read more

My first ever lobster roll, and this spot couldn't have made me love the dish more! With the ambiance of Quincy Market, eating here will make you feel like a true Bostonian. While the price is steep, the portions are actually quite large and the quality is great, so I'd definitely recommend this roll, it's more than just a tourist trap for sure! Additionally, the service here was fast, accommodating, and extremely friendly! I helped host a large event here with some of my friends, and purchasing a large catering order was made super easy by the helpful staff. Overall, the experience felt joyful and celebratory, and I'd certainly come back with friends or family for a trusted comfort lobster roll any day of the week! read more

This restaurant is located in Quincy Market. It's a busy market, with lots of food choices. It was crowded with lively music. We ordered the sampler that came with four rolls, 2 clam chowders and 2 drinks for $49.99. This was a deal. The rolls were filled with the various seafood (lobster, shrimp, tuna and crab mix). Our order came out quick and it was all delicious. It was our first stop in food, and it was great choice. Definitely will recommend. read more

Wicked Lobsta is located inside Quincy Market. My friend and I were excited to come here since we heard great things about it, especially the lobster roll. Came here on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. There isn't seating for Wicked Lobsta specifically, but plenty of tables in Quincy Market. We both ordered the Hot Lobsta Roll Special which comes with a lobster roll, small soup, and a drink of choice. Our food came out quickly and we were able to find a table to eat at. The soup was the New England Clam Chowda. It had good flavor, but was thinner than expected. The lobster roll was just okay. The bread was crispy on the top but very soggy on the bottom from the butter. The lobster was slightly sweet, but the texture was off. Some pieces were cooked well while others were rubbery. Overall, giving Wicked Lobsta a 3.5/5. Food is good but inconsistent. Our meals were very pricey for what we got. Service was good. Food came out quickly and staff were nice. We're glad we were able to try it. read more

Located in the Food Hall is Wicked Lobsta. We elected this place based on ratings and prices. We think we made a great decision. The bread bowl with the chowder was so soft. It was really good.

Came back here after about 4 years away. I remembered how much I loved it last time. This time I went for lobster pie. Honestly it was really good. I definitely devoured it. I remember the lobster roll being a better choice. This didn't seem as special as that was. Plus prices have nearly doubled since my last trip here which is certainly more indicative of the economy. It's still really good quality. But at that price I'm a little more likely to pivot to a steak tip dinner somewhere. Or, maybe get a shrimp roll here which is far cheaper and likely pretty good. read more

I walked through the market reading lobster roll descriptions 3 times and finally settled on Wicked Lobstah because it noted the "buttered brioche bun and extra butter". I didnt notice whether or not the bun was buttered but some of the bottom of it was saturated with butter. The roll was good but just not worth the $38, in my opinion. I know it's LOBSTER and that seemed like the going price, it just didn't give me the satisfaction I hoped for. Food was made to order and service was quick. read more

We came here for a very quick bite, knowing that we needed to show up for a ghost tour in just a short time. It's in Faneuil Hall, which really is just a huge food court, with some touristy items on kiosks along the side. There were several places with seafood, and we randomly picked this one. We got: *Lobster bisque--very thin and runny. *Crab cakes--they were okay. Lots of filler (bread crumbs??), but cooked well *Shrimp scampi--the shrimps were big and the garlic butter was delicious. It was fine. Not great, not bad, just okay. It fed us, but is definitely not a place I would go back to. Hubby was spot on when he said that we ordered fast food and got fast food. read more

In the busy Quincy market was a very busy lobster roll place. We tried the combo which included a cup of chowda and a garlic butter lobster roll. Let's just say I'm hooked! Bread was soft, toasted and buttery. The lobster sweet and tender. The New England clam chowder was the best we've had in the area thus far. Try it, you'll like it! read more

The Hot Buttered Lobster Roll was awesome!!!! Fresh tasting. Simply prepared, excellent seafood w butter. Let's the lobster shine. (Not covered up with mayo or complicated sauces.) 5/5. Highly recommend this one. It's pricy. But it's lobster and it's Boston. we did have to ask several times about food allergy issue. . The staff listened and then talked amongst themselves and did not get back to us. But the 3rd time we asked someone, we finally got an answer. That's not the most reassuring response. But no issues from allergy standpoint. from a corporate stand point---Would suggest educating the staff. At least show them the labeling if any so they can easily respond to ingredient and allergen questions. 3/5 customer service. Lukewarm. They just want To take your order and for you to take your food and go away. Which normally is fine! But if you have a serious question, it's not fine. But the food itself is excellent. read more

Lobster Melt was very good at this Faneuil Hall stop, but the service was quite subpar. After ordering, they walked around and didn't start making the order for a good 5+ minutes (no other waiting customers). While the lobster melt wasn't quite what you'd get from James Hook or Neptune, it was still good nonetheless. The service itself prevented this from being a 4-star experience. read more

There's better food in Boston and better food in Quincy Market alone. However, they're one of the only places with lobster Mac n cheese without going to a fancy restaurant.

Shrimp roll was surprisingly full of quality shrimp and the aioli was delicious. read more

My first lobster roll (I mean lobsta roll)! This place does a good job. The lobster and roll were flavorful. The bun is slightly buttery, crispy, and the lobster tastes fresh with a side of lemon. I got the combo. It's a little pricy, but comes with a drink and soup. I tried the New England clam chowder. It was good. I do wish there were a little more spice or seasoning for the lobster roll but all good on this first authentic lobster roll venture. You'll find this place in the Quincy Market. read more

Having not visited Quincy Market in probably close to 20 years, it was on my list to do so when I returned to Boston for a staff retreat and was staying nearby. My main objectives were to order a lobster roll and enjoy some whole fried clams -- the former I achieved at Wicked Lobster. Their lobster rolls are spot on there as I enjoyed their Traditional Maine Lobster Roll stood against the wall across from the counter where I ordered. There's something earnest about finding a nook away from walking traffic and just noshing away at a glorious lobster roll, savoring the lobster crab and tail meat combined with the mayo and seasonings. Price-wise is on point with what I saw at the other vendors selling lobster rolls, and I felt the portion size was best here. They do have a one-pound lobster roll (yes, one pound of pure lobster meat) for about $90 before state tax, but at that point, you might as well order some lobster bisque or lobster pie with a traditional roll if you want to have your fix. read more

Touristy AF, but since I was a tourist, it was on point. Conveniently located in the heart of historic Faneuil Hall, it was a perfect way to round out my day of sightseeing and shopping. The business was fast and bustling on Friday near lunch time, but the line moved quickly and my food came out pretty quickly. It's a walk up counter, then you take your food to go to enjoy in the food court tables or from one of the benches outside while listening to busker music. I had the lobster Mac which of course was delicious. Pretty decent amount of lobster and nice creamy buttery pasta. It was a generous portion that I couldn't even finish. It also came with a slice of garlic bread which I was way too full to eat, but that the pigeons enjoyed after a seagull pulled it out of the trashcan for them. It was a great place to go for lunch, and in a great location that offers lots of historic sight seeing and shopping in walkable distance. read more

The main thing I wanted to do in Boston was try a lobster roll! There are many options in Quincy Market, but this one caught my attention. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly. You place your order at the register and then wait on the side for it to be prepared. The staff worked at a fast pace, so the service was quick. The seafood display looked fresh and clean. I ordered the naked lobster roll and clam chowder, which came to a whopping $44! The lobster roll was absolutely delicious. The buttered bread was out of this world, and the lobster meat was tender and flavorful. Although the roll looked small, it was surprisingly filling. The clam chowder was the perfect complement for the cold weather. I'm glad I got to try it, but I probably wouldn't order it again anytime soon since it was quite a splurge. Overall, it was delicious, fresh, and satisfying! read more

It was a decent lobster roll, but I felt like the bun was soggy. I like my buns to be a bit more toasted, and this was not toasted at all. I probably have really high standards because I've eaten at Neptune Oyster so frequently. Would I go again? Probably not, but it's definitely not a bad lobster roll. read more

Sigh. I chose this restaurant after an exhaustive search based on Yelp reviews, and I'm sad to say Yelp failed on this one. I'm here to fix that. In Faneuil Hall food market, you are inundated by choices and I wanted something regional, so I chose one of the multiple lobster places. After sticker shock at the now $40+ lobster roll, I decided to go with something smaller and I'm glad I did, because this was the worst lobster bisque I've ever had. And it set me back a ridiculous $20 for a tiny 6-8oz cup. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. Now, I've had a lot of lobster bisque in my time; I also live in Baltimore so I am used to the prices of seafood, and these prices are high even by usual standards. I recently had the best lobster roll of my life for $38 in Baltimore, at an expensive and fancy restaurant. Charging $40 from a food hall stand in a city where lobster is supposedly local is criminal. Anyway, back to the bisque. It was the blandest, most tasteless soup I've ever had. Extremely disappointing. They did have a lot of lobster meat in it, that was good. But it didn't taste particularly fresh. This bisque was like if you just placed pre-cooked lobster pieces in hot cream. There was no taste, no salt, no seasoning at all. I kept piling oyster crackers in because they were ADDING flavor. Imagine oyster crackers having more flavor than the soup. It was dismal. So disappointing. Never again. And I sincerely hope I save a few people from a $20 mistake. Also the spoon was terrible. Flat wooden disposable spoon made it take even longer to eat my bad soup. read more

Absolutely delish. I had a mac and cheese craving so can't speak to the lobster rolls but I will say for less than $10, the portion and quality is to die for. It might even be amongst the best in Boston in general. The bowl is heaping. Like 3 times taller than you'd expect. The cheese is so good and coats perfectly cooked pasta well and the baked crisp is perfect. It took about 20 minutes and I was the only one waiting but it was fresh so that's fine by me! I also like that they have wooden utensils and no plastic-we love an eco friendly spot with equally good food. read more

We were running around Boston for a weekend, and none of the good seafood places were on the agenda. So the wife and I picked up lobster rolls here, thought it was our best shot based on circumstances. First, outragrously expensive. 2 rolls and a coke to share for $80. Second, small. These are pretty petite. Third, quality. Lobster is overcooked, a little rubbery, and slathered in so much mayo you can't even taste it. It could have been chicken and, blindfolded, we wouldn't have been able to tell. They were looking for a sucker, and, sad to say, they found one in me. I could have walked a little and gotten a superior product at James Hook, but I was trying to be efficient. Next time, if I don't have time to get a real lobster roll, I'll just get something else. read more

DELICIOUS, tender, hot lobster roll! The clam chowder was very delicious, classic reliable New England clam chowder. The lobster roll had nice whole chunks of lobster that were covered in a yummy butter with some delicious spices on top (not spicy, just flavorful!)

They were relaxed and kind, and we ate in the middle of Quincy market where the lights beautifully hang, music was blasting from a party upstairs--it was fun! read more

We came here over the weekend for dinner and enjoyed it. Their store was inside of Quincy market next to a lot of other food stores, so just something to be aware of while locating this business. The lobster roll was 5/5 awesome!! Lots of high quality lobster meat. The crab cakes were reasonably priced, but didn't have as much crab meat as what the lobster roll offered. The food came out pretty quickly and the staff was nice as well. We would come back here again for the lobster rolls! read more

Brief Summary: - Rich mac and cheese - Good portions of lobster and mac and cheese - Complimentary bread - Located within Quincy Market - I don't eat much lobster, so I don't have a expectation On the first visit, I have dedicated time to eat foods with lobster in it. One, we don't eat lobster on a regular or even on special occasions, so I thought it will be great to try it in a place that it is known for. There was Quincy Market, where it was long building that stretched with different food stalls of foods Boston was known for. This also meant that there was no Indian food (there was one Chinese restaurant). In the center of this long building, there was a 2-story sitting area to take your food and eat there. As we walked down the string of food restaurants, this one caught our eye. Comfort mac and cheese with different fillings? Yes, that sounded like a good meal to have after a long walk in town. For a flair of Boston, we chose the lobster mac and cheese. When we ordered this, it came with a free slice of bread, which was really nice to have when scooping up the rest of the mac and cheese. The macaroni was cooked just right, nice and tender and not overcooked. I also loved how there was a generous amount of lobster in the mac and cheese, but it wasn't torn into little pieces -- that I did myself. It did looks fancy to see large lobster chunks in the bowl of mac and cheese, but in terms of eating it required a little cutting with the plastic spoon and fork combination. In terms of flavor, the mac and cheese tasted like a mac and cheese. No seafood taste, which was a good thing for some of my family members, who do not like seafood, but it also didn't taste like it had a lobster flavor. However, this is not something I should say because I also haven't eaten many lobsters, so I don't know what the best lobster tastes like. In all, the lobster in mac and cheese was my favorite food with the lobster. The lobster needs additional flavor, in which the mac and cheese did a great job. read more
