What else are you going to get when you travel to Boston? The first day after a grueling red eye flight we came to Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall which had a lovely traditional food hall vibes. Grab your food and go vibes. There were plenty of establishments that sold lobster rolls, clam chowder what have you, but we came to this place. Cost about 30-40$ for the set to share, bit pricey but lobster roll alone nowadays cost 20$ plus anyways. What's going for it were the serious chunks of lobster that tasted fresh and bouncy, a solid experience in the end. read more

You all know I don't give out 5 stars easily, but this place was well earned. The lobster roll was cooked to perfection. The roll was soft and buttery. The lobster was cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of seasoning. Paired nice with a lemon to drizzle across. The clam chowder was also nice and tasty. The perfect amount of cream and seasoning to go with the seafood paired. When in Boston, check this place out! read more

Easily the best (and most expensive) lobster roll I've ever had. I got a classic, warm lobster roll and it came CRAMMED with meat. Also it wasn't just left over pieces of meat, it was good fully in fact lumps from the claw, not the chewy, grisly kind you sometimes get at chains like Luke's Lobster. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you're walking around there! read more

Food: It was okay. They put plenty of lobster, but there was no flavor in the lobster. I wish they seasoned it or did something to give it a bit more flavor. Also the lobster sandwich ONLY had lobster in it; no veggies or anything. The clam chowder was pretty good. They give enough clams for every bite. Overall, it was over priced and not worth trying again. $33.99 for the lobster sandwich! Yikes... read more

Very pleasantly surprised! Nervous about the freshness and deliciousness of food hall fare I trusted my gut and Yelp reviews and checked out Wicked Lobsta. The lobster roll was hearty and had a great flavor. There was a good ratio of claw to tail meat and the bun was toasty and buttery. The chowder was rich and hearty and good but sadly did not have a lot of clams. The combo was inclusive of the sandwich, chowder and drink and was reasonably priced at $34 total. It was a great place to have lunch and listen to live music while I devoured my meal. read more

We were very disappointed with the meals here. Ordered two of their specials which comes with a chowder and lemonade each. First was the lobster salad roll and the second was the lobster melt. Let's start with the lobster salad roll - lots of mushed up lobster pieces and tons of lettuce at the bottom. The lobster melt was overly greasy and oily. It was like eating a mouthful of oil! The chowder was watery with barely any clams nor potatoes! Lemonade was good though so I give them that at least. The menu at the counter stated market price so the guy told us $33.50 a piece. A total of $67 - good lord! We arrived around 5 pm ish when the market was quite dead so they thought they could probably get away with serving people trash and seeing that we're tourists, that we're never coming back anyway. Not only that, we walked down a few stalls later on and saw that Boston Chowda House had the same type of manager special on their menu for only $28?! It makes me wonder if the guy at the counter thought we were stupid and that he can name whatever price he wanted because we're two naive looking Asian women. It really ruined our first impression of a good Boston lobster roll until we got one at Legal's at the waterfront which was a huge roll with tons of chunks and comes with fries for $36! Night and day! Save your money and go eat at an actual restaurant for decent lobster rolls! read more

The cheese added so much flavor and made it so perfect. It was perfectly buttered and toasted with generous amounts lobster with the perfect amount of cheese inside.

I wasn't stunned by my hot lobster roll. Don't get me wrong, it was good. But, for the somewhat outrageous price of 40 dollars for the roll and a drink, it was hard to justify a good review. The lobster was fresh and came in a solid portion size but lacked flavor. I'm not sure if I would call it a tourist trap, but there are other places that you could get a similar quality roll for much cheaper nearby. read more

I think it will always feel a little outrageous to me to pay $60+ for 2 lobster rolls/sandwiches but hey, "when in New England" I guess. The lobster roll and the lobster grilled cheese did not disappoint. The lobster itself wasn't as tender as I had hoped, it was a little tough and chewy but for a lunch hall I suppose it's right on par and was better than some of the other lobster rolls that looked like they were sitting in a window keeping warm waiting to be handed to someone. I watched this kitchen prepare my food fresh and it was handed to me the second it was cooked. read more

The easiest 5 out of 5 I've ever given. My girlfriend and I are on vacation up in Boston for Labor Day weekend. I'm from NJ and she's from Miami. As we were looking around Quincy Market in Boston, MA for something good to eat when we happened upon Wicked Lobsta which we found had the highest rating of all places in the Market. Checking out the menu, everything sounded delicious. We decided upon the Hot Lobster Roll, Lobster Mac and Cheese and the Clam Chowda in a Bread Boule. Unfortunately, they were out of the Mac and Cheese (it's their most popular item), so we decided on a Traditional Cold Lobster Roll. Now, I've had a lot of Lobster Rolls, but the Traditional Cold Lobster Roll from here was easily the BEST Lobster Roll I've ever had. The lobster meat was buttery and soft and easy to bite through, the mayo was delicious and tasty and enhances the taste of the lobster. The lettuce underneath added a nice crunch to it all, and the bread was the winner. The bread was soft but firm. It soaked up the juices of the lobster and mayo and was the perfect amount of buttery. The Hot Lobster Roll was just as yummy but I'd eat the cold one every day of the week. The Clam Chowda in the Bread Boule though won the day for my girlfriend and I. The clam chowda was hot and creamy and stuffed with clam. The bread was perfect and soaked up the creamy clam chowder sauce. Overall, we were easily impressed. That was the best Clam Chowda I have ever had. We also got the traditional homemade lemonade which paired nicely with our seafood. We would definitely eat here again and probably will. Very impressed. read more

At one point, people were practically trying to drink the sauce straight from the plate. That is when you know it is hitting on another level. You know you're doing a good job when you put much thought down to how you make your sauces and broths. I was impressed from both a top down and bottom up level of culinary experience.

I was glad that I did, because when I tasted my friend's fries, they were just about the most dry, bland, doughy-like frozen fries you could imagine. Only thing you can do with fries like that is to oversalt the bejesus out of them, and drown them in ketchup. Best thing we (party of 4) had was the Steak Salad---but when the menu says "petit sirloin" you dang better believe they MEAN "petit," lol ... it was about 3-4 mouthfuls tops! Really more of an appetizer worth $15 at most, not the $28 normal entree pricing. Fish and chips were particularly dismal---the fish was tasteless, most likely frozen just like the horrible fries. I've had better fish and chips from humble diner type places like Mike's Roast Beef in Everett, for Chrissakes. Hell, even Friendly's Fish and Chips doesn't seem that bad in comparison, lol. Swordfish and trout were somewhat less bad, but also suffered from the avalanche of cardboard fries. Anyways, now I know: I wasn't missing anything all these years.

I travel to Boston regularly for work and I'm originally from the South, so I'll admit -- sometimes…read moreyou wonder what kind of hospitality you're going to receive (without wanting to carry any bias). Stephanie and Anna completely exceeded every expectation. From the moment I sat at the bar, they were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They walked me through appetizers on one visit, helped me decide on dessert another night, and everything I ordered was delicious. But what really stood out wasn't just the food -- it was the experience. They introduced me to other patrons, sparked great conversations, and created that rare feeling of genuine connection. Finding that kind of warmth and community while traveling for work isn't always easy, and it absolutely deserves to be recognized. I've now been three times. I typically rotate hotels when I'm in Boston just to try new places, but because of the consistently high-quality service -- not just at the hotel, but especially at the restaurant and bar -- I'll be prioritizing staying here moving forward. Stephanie and Anna go above and beyond, and it shows. Thank you both for the hospitality. I'll definitely be back.

We came here for happy hour oysters on a Thursday afternoon. It was pretty empty and street parking…read morewas easy to find. The oysters were large, briny, and fresh. We had to get 2 dozen. We also had the clam chowder which was rich and bacony, and a flatbread and the scallops. Everything was delicious, but quite overpriced, and I think next time I would try to stick to the oysters and clam chowder. Ambience is nice hotel restaurant/bar. Service is friendly but they were very disorganized (tried to serve us things we didn't order or had already received not once, but twice!) and this was a quiet Thursday before dinner. I would come back because of easy parking and yummy dollar oysters. I wish there were more things to do around this area, but then I guess parking wouldn't be so easy.

Tonight was my first time dining at Bostonia Public House and I'm already looking forward to my…read morenext! The restaurant itself had a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the food was delicious. I went with the classic BPH burger, but am eager to try many of their other dishes like their fish and chips, southwest salad and Shepherd's pie in the future. They truly had something for everyone on their menu as the friend I was dining with is vegan. She went with the eggplant and tahini dip and veggie burger. Their desserts were to die for too! What really sold me though was how friendly the wait staff was, and how quickly everything came out. I'd highly recommend!

Our server was outside frequently checking on us and got us our food and drinks quickly. Very friendly! FOOD: Our lobster rolls were very tasty and the food was very fresh.
