    The hidden local favorite seafood place in Marblehead. Small business by the water, you can get the best lobster roll LOADED with lobster meat (not just the meat from the claws). Comes in 2 flavors: mayonnaise or lemon butter. Both are amazingly good. They also have lobsters, crab cakes, fish cakes, chowders, etc. you can get raw seafood here as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Heads-up, only outdoor seating, but the view is totally worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended, 10/10!

    We detoured here on our way to Salem and so glad we found this spot. Super friendly, welcoming staff!! Had the lobster roll with butter, crab cakes and clam chowder. Portions are quite large so easy to share. Everything was delish!! Clam chowder has great flavor and crab cakes are very meaty! Lobster and fresh and they give you lots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sit outside and enjoy the view!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This is a must if you're in Marblehead! It is a hidden gem situated right on the water. It has to be the best lobster roll I've ever had with fresh and plentiful lobster meat. The people and service were just as amazing as the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We really enjoyed sitting by the water, having lunch and a beer on a beautiful day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Walk if you can and stroll through the Old Burial Hill Cemetery after to walk off the fullness. bon appétit!

    Walk up ordering/pick up station-outside due to Covid. Order a drink and a bite to go or park your tush & enjoy the views

    I just happened to be driving in the neighborhood and literally stumbled onto the sign pointing me in the direction of the "best lobster roll of the north shore." Well, surely I couldn't pass up this opportunity presented to me. I followed the sign's arrow which led me to the Little Harbor Lobster Co. right there on the waterfront; couldn't have asked for a fresher catch! I already knew I was ordering the lobster roll but perused the menu just to take note of their offerings (steamed lobsters, cocktail shrimp, fish cakes, salmon pate, seafood chowder, and more). I walked up to the outdoor counter and was greeted promptly. I placed my order for the lobster roll and was asked if I'd like it with mayo or butter (I decided to get it with mayo and then also butter on the side for a lil dunk here n there; I recommend this option if you're looking for an indulgent experience). Once the order was placed I was told it would be just a few minutes. As I waited for my order, I enjoyed the fresh air, nice weather, and views of the harbor right there on the waterfront. My order was ready in no time and I had the goods in hand. When I opened up the to go container, I was greeted by what looked like a scrumptiously full, meaty lobster roll. So, how was it?! Well, I can confirm that, from the first bite to the very last, it was probably one of if not THE BEST damnnn lobster rolls I've ever had! Extremely fresh (obviously), great taste, good portions of lobster meat, tender, mayo done lightly which was perfect, good bun. What a happy little accident to stumble upon this Marblehead gem! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back! The only regret was not buying another to enjoy later tonight.

    I can't say enough about how much I loved this cool little spot. I think of this business so warmly and when I think of my trip to Marblehead, this was one of my favorites. If you're a visitor by car like we were, know there's literally like 2 parking spots and a handful of "is this a parking spot or am I making this a parking spot?" spots. Be patient and prepare to circle the block until something opens. Little Harbor Lobster offers to-go lobster rolls and a variety of refrigerated and frozen dishes to buy to-go. Keep in mind, this is not a sit-down restaurant. This is a coastal lobster business with grab-and-go stuff only. We met Eric and he was a delight. He literally pulled out lobsters, explained to us about his business and told us about the different native lobsters. We really enjoyed hearing his stories as a local business owner. The lobster roll was one of the best I've ever had! You cannot beat the quality of freshness. The price was super fair given local competitors. I'm drooling just thinking about it! The portion size was hearty and worth every penny. My only regret is that we waited until the last day of our trip to come. I could've had a lobster roll here daily!

    Nothing hard to figure out here: really good, fresh seafood and really friendly folks behind the counter. No reason to go elsewhere.
