Simple, buttery, and packed with lobster without trying to do too much. Fries were solid too. The standout was easily the lobster bisque. Honestly the best lobster bisque I've ever had.

Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Boston and want a straightforward seafood spot.

Lobster meat was succulent and fresh, it's real butter for dipping and crispy fries! I am not a soggy fry eater and forgot to ask for the really crisp the fries so I was excited when the fries came out hot and crisp with a snap on the outside and fluffy inside. Also the shrimp cocktail serving was amazing! The server/cashier was very helpful as I had never been there before and explained the menu. They were nice and helpful and smiled. Even when it got a little crazy as a graduation let out and it got crowded they made it work. Very fluid operation. I'd eat here again.

Unless you wanna wait an hour or so, it's best to arrive 30min before they open to beat the rush. It's incredibly cramped and rushed inside, and you may need to share a table with others if you're a smaller party. Food is quite pricey but well worth it. We ordered the oysters (they've got a variety so you can choose), clam chowder, lobster roll, cioppino, and johnnycake. Oysters were fine, but the clam chowder was absolutely dismal. Not sure what happened, especially since it's so highly rated, but it was extremely watery and almost completely unseasoned. It could've definitely used salt at the very least. If I didn't know it was from Neptune, I'd have given it a 2/10. To my relief, the lobster roll was the total opposite. Succulent, juicy, heavenly. It was like being in Maine. The cioppino was also very good. The Johnnycake was an interesting but fun way to end the meal. It's a sweet pancake-like cornmeal covered in a syrupy glaze and topped with smoked bluefish paste, crème fraiche and caviar. I've never had anything like it. Nothing was super overpriced, but I personally prefer next door (Paulini's), which is much cheaper and while it isn't as good, it also doesn't require waiting in an hour in line. However, I think Neptune's is definitely worth a try as long as you're willing to wait in line.

When I tell you I have been trying to make it to this restaurant for three years now, I mean it…read more Every single year we come to Boston, and every year our flights somehow get delayed on the exact day we planned to go here. This year, I finally made it -- and it absolutely did not disappoint. I had a phenomenal time trying their lobster roll. The lobster chunks inside were thick, juicy, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The butter was so good, and since the roll was served warm, it was honestly perfect for the chilly Boston weather that day. It warmed me right up. I will say, it is definitely a little pricey, especially coming from out of town where I'm not used to spending that kind of money on what is technically "just a sandwich," but honestly, it was 100% worth it. It was a phenomenal lobster roll, and I would absolutely go back and order another one. The only small downside was that we got there about 15 minutes before closing, and the staff did seem to rush us out a little bit, even though we were sitting outside on the patio while they cleaned up. Coming from the South, that felt a little strange to me because that's probably not something we would do back home, but honestly, it still would not stop me from coming back. At the end of the day, they know what they've got -- an incredible lobster roll with soft, buttery bread and fresh lobster that truly lives up to the hype.

While visiting Boston, we found ourselves craving an authentic lobster roll and were pointed toward…read moreJames Hook & Co. After one visit, it became very clear why this place has remained a waterfront institution since 1925. Don't let the long line scare you away -- that line is part of the proof that you are in the right place. James Hook has a classic no-frills New England seafood atmosphere focused on one thing above all else: exceptionally fresh lobster. There's plenty of outdoor seating available, and on a beautiful afternoon with temperatures in the low 80s, sitting outside under the umbrellas overlooking the city made for a perfect lunch setting. We split a large lobster roll since we had eaten a big breakfast earlier in the day, and it was more than enough for two people looking for a lighter meal. The lobster itself was incredibly fresh, sweet, tender, and generously portioned on a perfectly toasted split-top roll with drawn butter served on the side. Simple ingredients executed correctly -- exactly what a proper Boston lobster roll should be. We also tried the stuffed clam, which had a rich, savory stuffing with plenty of flavor and paired perfectly with a squeeze of fresh lemon. There's nothing overly polished or tourist-trapped about James Hook & Co. This is simply authentic Boston seafood done right. If you find yourself anywhere near the waterfront and want the real lobster roll experience, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

And 1/2 way through eating he came by just to check on us! The ambiance was amazing as well, huge windows and right on the water. I have never felt more safe with a food allergy, with such good food and an amazing atmosphere!

I started off with a flight and picking only 4 beers was a difficult decision. They provide a wide variety of different types of beer for any type of beer lover.

The service is very quick and friendly. The brewery is very large and can accommodate large groups of people.

There were no clear signs and no real walking path (there's parking) and even the employee entrances were easier to find than the brewery's. Having said that, the atmosphere was comfortable and warm. They had games and a nice view. There was merch (the beer mitt was interesting!) We got hungry and ordered a pretzel, but I wouldn't really call this a "dinner" spot. Definitely more of a drinks + snack spot with their limited menu of pretzels and pizzas. Service was low key and quiet. We were left to play cards and didn't feel rushed to order or leave. Overall would come back!

Just to reiterate the staff before you…read morecome, it's CASH ONLY (there's an atm at the front of you need some), expect to pay around $30 per entree. Staff is gruff but efficient. The line does move very fast and Gicomo's has expanded to a second sitting area for more space. Ordered the fried calamari platter appetizer and fra diovolo with shrimp and scallops. The former was very very mediocre; it was fresh but the batter seemed soggy and the sauce was watery and weak. However, the fra diovolo was fantastic. Al dente noodles cooked to perfection and the scallops and shrimps were large, juicy, and tender. I'd recommend it for sure; it's one of those dishes you'll definitely be sopping the bread with the leftover sauce (which you should do anyway). Just FYI, it's not spicy at all. Honestly, Giacomo's was a bit disappointing, considering the hype. But I'd still want to come back, and I'm glad I tried it.

The lobster roll flight looked enticing, but we decided on the seafood for variety: shrimp, crab & lobster. 1st bite was insane, the bread was buttery, crunchy, and the seafood had a great taste. Comes with chips + drink + pickle slice. We chose the blueberry soda, which was delicious too & plain sea salt chips to prevent it from changing the flavor of the seafood. We left and came back after 2hrs to get the full crab roll they also have a stamp card so make sure to ask for it!!

It wasn't as fresh as another place I tried in Boston. Not a bad place, but I won't go out of my way...especially when I found out it's a chain with one near me.

We tried 4 different types and every single one tasted super fresh, clean, and just really high quality. You can tell they know what they're doing here, even the way they shuck it is nice and clean, no shell pieces or anything. Their menu actually has like 10+ kinds of oysters, highly selective and premium. I really wish we had more time (and stomach space) to try more. But we already had like 3 dinners planned that night lol so this was more like a "stop by and eat as much oysters as possible" situation. Honestly I'm pretty sure the other food here is just as good, based on what I saw on other tables. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Boston.

First time here. We got the lobster roll. And while, sure, the menu said the pricing was 'MP'…read more(meaning Market Price, or...based upon current market conditions)...and while, sure, we didn't ASK what the price would be, on that day, I still think it would have been nice if the waitstaff voluntarily offered up that detail. (I'm certain the staff are aware that many of their diners express shock, once the price is disclosed...) Many folks simply make an assumption or a guesstimate, as to the price, when they see 'MP' on a menu, and this is usually based upon their prior experiences, ordering such a menu item. So, for example, I was thinking the lobster roll might be in the $40-45 range. So imagine my utter shock, when we received the bill, to see a charge for $69?? I have never in my life had such an expensive lobster roll. Yes, it was delicious, and the housemade potato chips were also great. The slaw was also good (though it was a very tiny amount...I would have liked more). But boy, did that price shock me. I would normally never have voluntarily ordered a $69 lobster roll. It simply never would have occurred to me, that a place would ever charge that much....
