Here's a cleaner, more polished version of your review while keeping your experience and tone intact: My husband and I stopped here for dinner on our way home from the Cape. I called ahead to place a pickup order, and the person who answered the phone seemed annoyed from the start. Unfortunately, the same unfriendly attitude continued when I arrived to pick up our food. The lobster rolls were overloaded with mayonnaise--to the point where that was all we could taste--and were definitely not worth the price. On top of that, fries and coleslaw cost extra. When I realized my pickup order was missing the coleslaw, I mentioned it, only to be told rudely that I hadn't ordered it and would have to pay extra. Considering we had already spent $95 on two dinners, the lack of customer service was disappointing. Overall, the food was overpriced, and the rude service made the experience even worse. We won't be returning. read more

Despite reading some negative reviews beforehand, our group decided to give the Lobster Pot on Cranberry Highway in Wareham a chance. Unfortunately, our experience was even worse than we expected. When we arrived, a young woman began taking our order. She was polite, patient, and pleasant. We ordered a scallop plate, fish and chips, and a shrimp plate. Before finishing, I asked a simple question about the onion rings because I'm a fan of them. I wanted to know whether they were thick-cut or thin-cut. She wasn't sure, which was completely understandable. At that point, a man came over, and I asked him the same question, assuming he knew the menu better. His response was, "Medium. Everything is medium," delivered in a frustrated and dismissive tone. He then pulled the young employee aside, said, "I'll deal with her," and sent her to do another task. Instead of returning to finish taking our order, he walked away and began talking with other employees. The restaurant did not appear busy at the time--there was no line behind us, and no other customers were waiting to order. After standing there for several minutes, I finally asked if someone would be taking our order. He eventually came back to the register. I told my aunt that I would order and pay for their meals, but I would not be ordering my own food from him. I planned to go to Warren's Harborview Restaurant up the road instead because of how I was being treated. After I placed and paid for my family's order, but before giving me the receipt, he suddenly said, "You know what? Let's just cancel it. You can go somewhere else." He crumpled the receipt and attempted to throw it away. I told him I wanted the canceled receipt for my own records. I then asked for his name. He replied, "Frank... Frank Sinatra." When I asked again for his actual name, he sarcastically responded, "I'm not giving you my Social Security number." I explained that I wasn't asking for his Social Security number--only his name. To this day, I still don't know who he was. What made this experience especially disappointing was that this behavior occurred in front of customers and fellow employees. No employee, especially a younger one who had been courteous and professional, should be treated that way. Likewise, no customer should be spoken to with sarcasm, disrespect, or hostility simply for asking a question about the menu. Our group left feeling embarrassed and unwelcome. Customer service should never escalate to the point where an employee cancels a paid order out of spite or refuses to identify themselves professionally. I hope management and corporate take this complaint seriously, identify the employee involved, and provide additional customer service training. The young woman who initially assisted us deserves recognition for remaining courteous throughout the interaction. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we will not be returning and cannot recommend this location to others. read more

The monster stuffed lobster is delicious. It can easily be shared. The stuffing is filled with lobster meat, shrimp, and scallops, as described. It really exceeded my expectations and was a wonderful meal! read more

This place is a great stop when headed to or from the Cape. Right on Rt 28 in East Wareham. This is a family favorite for great lobster and seafood. I always get the Steamers and the fried clam strips. Both these items satisfy my need for clams and fried food. You can't go wrong and the owners are always around to answer questions. read more

My family and I have been coming here for over 20 years. We come at least once a season . Just visited on 11/10/24. We are from Connecticut but drive up specifically for a bowl of chowder - and the amazing , flaky fish and chips ! Staff is always friendly , ambiance is perfect and lends to the "New England fisherman charm" of the town! They have ample seating ! Indoor and outdoor seating available. We find the pricing reasonable for the quality of food provided . Not one disappointing visit in over 20 years ! read more

Clam Chowder was amazing however the Lobster Roll was good but WAY to small for $35 Cape Cod or not and lose the Lettuce .

I can honestly say that I had no intentions of writing a review about the tasteless, high priced, low quantity food here but the owner of this establishment pushed me into rewarding him with a well deserved 1 star review. Not for his bland tasting food but for his very bad attitude, greedy work ethics and horrible customer service. After our $150 assortment of bland tasting seafood, I went to the counter to get a fountain refill for two Pepsi's in our cups. The kind young lady who originally took our order, said that they don't give refills. In shock, I said you're kidding?? She then looked over to a pudgy bald headed man sitting behind the counter. He spoke up and said we don't give refills because you might have Covid! I said well can't you just give me two new cups then? (even McDonalds does this for a $2 drink purchase) He said in a sharp arrogant voice, if you buy two more Pepsi's, I will! I admit, in haste I called him exactly what I was thinking and said "a-hole!" as I walked back to our table. When I came back to throw away the trash he was still sitting there and he started spouting off saying "you're an a-hole" (I assume because I made him look cheap & greedy in front of his employees). I replied that I just spent $150 for the three of us and he couldn't even give us a lousy fountain refill? He said, you think $150 is a lot of money? I said yes, for a lunch, it is. He said, I sell lobsters for $200 each so I don't care what the s#%t you think, I have been in business here for 50 years and I don't give a s#%t about you, go down the road and buy your next dinner. We were just passing through but I find it hard to believe why the locals in this town support this arrogant greedy business owner. read more

Great Fisherman's platter. Very fresh Came in on a weekday night and got a monster plate. Couldn't finish it even though I tried.

I decided to bite the bullet and splurge on a lobster roll. The Lobster Pot suddenly appeared on my right so I pulled in. For $32 this is what I got read more

Lobster Pot - This is the Lobster Roll without the roll. Massively disappointing - Seafood Near Me - East Wareham, Massachusetts

We ended up here because Eastwind Lobster was closed. The prices were extremely over the top high for lobster - and yes I know lobster prices are high right now and costs are going up everywhere BUT.. this was way over the top especially for the portion you got. And the girl working the cash register had no idea how to explain what the specific dishes were - like sautéed lobster which was actually just lobster in butter on a hot dog roll. I got the clam chowder (because all the signs said it was award winning) and the fried clam strip roll. The chowder was incredibly bland - extremely watery, tasted like milk with clams and potatoes in it. The clam strips were overflowing the roll and looked to be cooked perfectly but were very tough (tougher than a normal strip.) My kids had the kids fish boat and the fish was cooked good and the fries were good. My sister had the fried lobster which the batter lacked any flavor and seemed like a waste of good lobster. We definitely will not be stopping back here on the rare occasion we make it down to the area. read more

Warm lobster with fries. I'm visiting here for work, and my coworker wanted to go here. We entered the place and all the workers had bad attitudes. It was almost like they didn't want out $100 for 2 lobster plates. Lobster was Meh. The worst part is that as we're eating, they start turning off the lights while we're still eating on the inside. Asked for a refill on my drink, but they had turned off the soda machine. There are definitely better places for lobster in the area; taste and service wise. read more

The restaurant isn't much to look at but the food is delicious! I had a lobster roll with onion rings and a root beer. The lobster was perfectly cook and very flavorful and it had just enough Mayo mixed in. The toasted bun was very good too! The onion rings are hand made and were perfect! Hubby had the Seafood platter which had scallops, clam strips, shrimp and fish all deep fried. He said all of it was very fresh! (Not fresh from the freezer!) it also came with fries and coleslaw. We ate outside on the patio so our fur babies could join us. It sits right on a busy road so there wasn't much ambience. The food makes up for the location and lack of decor though!!! Highly recommend! read more

Came here for a quick pit stop/first dinner enroute to our hotel because I thought this was THE Lobster Pot that Anthony Bourdain worked at for his first job. It was not. That being said, they actually have one of the best lobster rolls I've eaten on my Cape Cod trip and they were $5-$10 cheaper than the standard prices for lobster roll in most Cape Cod places. My fiancé and I ordered the lobster roll and crab roll instead of 2 lobster rolls mostly because I wanted to try the crab roll. Definitely regretted the decision when I tasted both. The toasted buns for both rolls were quite good - soft but with crispy edges. The Lobster roll was delicious - the serving of lobster meat was actually pretty generous and tasted very juicy, fresh, and tender. I actually love how they cooked the lobster because it's cooked to the exactly right degree where it's just cooked but remain perfectly tender. Quite a few of the other rolls I've had on my cape cod trips had chewy lobster meat which meant that they over cooked it. If I only had the lobster roll, I would have given them 5 stars based on their price, quality and value. But the crab roll really dragged down the star count. It was very under seasoned and also reminds me of packaged crab meat from Costco. We still ate it but definitely regretted ordering it. Overall, a decent pit stop for a fast service and very good lobster roll. I actually liked my lobster roll here more than some of the higher rated places in Cape Cod. But stick to the lobster roll because I can't speak to the consistent quality of the other items on their menu. read more

The clam chowder was 90% potatoes with three or four small strips of clam. The stuffed quahog was burned black on the outside and the taste was not great. The fried clams where subpar and the portions where small. I have gone to this place on and off my whole life and it has gotten progressively worse over the years. This will be the last visit for me. Terrible. read more

We stopped in for some fresh fried shrimp and ended up getting the shrimp dinner. We received an ample amount of shrimp and tartar sauce, cole slaw and fries. The batter on the shrimp was so delicious and the shrimp was fried perfectly. Cole slaw was just as good. The fries were not noteworthy, but we definitely did not come for the fries. Overall, we were quite satisfied with our first experience at the Lobster Pot and will surely come back the next time we are in town. read more

great service, delicious food with lots of options for all types of seafood and shellfish

Overdue review from our last trip to Cape Cod. So, on the way back from Provincetown, we stopped in this place to grab some lunch. Although it has the same name as the restaurant but we went in P-Town, it's very different in many ways. This is a quick-bite or takeout place. We ordered steamers, fried whole clam belly, and lobster roll. The best of all three was the clam belly. The Lobster roll was not bad but just couldn't beat the one we had at the deli near our hotel. The steamers we could do without. It was ok and quite small. Try the clam belly, worth trying! This place offers outside seatings. The inside dining is closed at the time. Enjoy your clams! read more

Being a Wareham resident, I have passed the Lobster Pot many times. I'm really not a fan of this side of town, and I don't usually go to restaurants in this area but we were looking for seafood on our way home from the Cape on a weeknight and our usual place was closed. I admit that I was a bit skeptical after seeing the empty parking lot when we pulled in. Upon entering the restaurant I immediately noticed how clean it was, including the tables in the dining area. Even from what I could see of the kitchen appeared clean. We had called ahead and our food was ready and waiting for us, which was great. We didn't want to wait until we got home so we decided to eat our food there. Everything was still hot and fresh. Among our order we had a shrimp plate, clam strip plate, and seafood platter. No one had any complaints about their meals. It is your typical fried seafood. The oil used for frying was clean, and nothing was over cooked. Even the coleslaw was decent. It cost us $72 due to the seafood platter and honestly I felt that the price was a bit high for 3 people. But overall I was pretty satisfied. Give this place a shot if you are in the area, don't worry about the empty parking lot! read more

I travel throughout the country and I am always looking for that gem of a restaurant. Well, I certainly found it here. Speaking with the owner and hearing about his family's journey with this long established facility, I knew the food was going to exceptional and it far exceeded my expectations. The scallops and quahog were perfect and the steamed lobster, which I chose right out of the clean water tank, was one of the best I have ever had. Will definitely be coming back when my travels allow. One of the best seafood restaurants that I have ever visited! read more

Lobster Roll for $31.99 was tiny. It was a mini sized roll. For this price I expected 3 times the amount. I talked to the owner/manager and told him that they are ripping off customers by charging a steep price and giving so little in quantity. He claimed that this was because of fresher quality lobster. He literally told me not to come again if I was not satisfied. I highly recommend that people avoid The Lobster Pot. It's highway robbery... read more

Over priced!!! Food okay, average. Got the lazy man lobster. A 3x6 tin of lobster, side of coleslaw they put in a butter cup. The rice was good. But for 40 plus dollars a RIP OFF!!! Do yourself a favor and save your money. read more

Super touristy. I didn't know better and came here on a late weekday night for dinner. I ordered ahead as we were staying on the cape and didn't have many options for food. We did two lobster rolls, clam chowder and fried clam strips. After ordering, he said food would be ready in 1 minute. I thought he was kidding but when I went inside for pick up it was empty. November is low season but the quality of food was mediocre especially for the price. It was about $30 per lobster roll. The clam strips didn't taste that fresh and the clam chowder was very thick. read more

A HUGE five-star-plus rating to Lobster Pot for its HUGE lobsters and many other stellar attributes. This was easily in the top five of any dining experience to date. Let's run down some deets here: I am of the school of thought that says if you're going to eat teenie lobsters then buy 'em at Demoulas and cook 'em at home. It's better and faster and WAY cheaper than going out for them. If you want HUGE lobsters then go out 'cause it's tricky to cook 'em. Problem: Where do you get 'em at? They ain't EZ to find since they don't grow on trees. Yes, you may find a place (if you're lucky) that boasts two- or three-pounders but those ain't gunna cut it for me and my One. After calling a million places to no avail, I called The Pot and they had up to six or seven pounders in their live tanks as well as threes and fours n' stuff. WOOOOO!!! We arrived on a Friday nite after seven and it was nice and empty in there sans a couple at the "raw baw" and a table or two with a few peeps. It was very well decorated with the classic fun NE shack look with only one difference: It was very clean and organized and everything was in great condition and well maintained. Very impressed so far but it gets better... We were invited by the wicked friendly and informative owner, named Guy, to go peep out the live tank to select our monsters. I suggested to my One that we each get a six-pounder. And we did... I must admit that I could feel my wallet getter thinner and thinner as I anticipated the prices on these mega-money monsters. Guy rang 'em up... and... and... only $207.00 for both! OMG! It was short money! And this included our sodas (Pepsi). He informed us that it takes about 35 minutes to cook 'em and Moey made conversation with Guy as I looked around and decided to buy a couple Lobster Pot souvenir shirts for us. These were only 15 bucks a piece and are HQ Ts -thick and heavy with excellent graphics. Moey suggested that we go for broke and get some champagne to pair. As Rick Perry would say, "Why not?" YOLO. They have an extensive wine menu and even have Dom Perignon and many other fine bevs. Guy brought the champagne to our table in an ice bucket with two spotless champagne flutes. Now all we had to do was to toast and wait for our monsters to arrive... Here they come! WOW! Our jaws dropped as Guy placed 'em down with their own trays and the accoutrement trays separately. These looked like BEMs from a 1950s Sci-Fi! Cooked to perfection. We attacked these monsters like there was no tomorrow. Guy came by numerous times to check up and shoot the breeze. He intermittently offered to crack 'em since the claw shells were thicker than Obama's skull. Massive amounts of meat were gleaned. Moey had her usual dipping in butter and mayo and I had my usual with just butter. The taste and texture was out of this world. They were extremely mental and highly Festivus. We "did good" and almost finished them but did pack up some leftover (the smaller claw as well as the "kicky legs") in the state-of-the-art lobster leftover bags that he provided. In conclusion, I can not say enough positive about our experience at The Pot. Not only was the service and orchestration better than most any five-star restaurant but the price was a bargain. This is New England lobster at its finest. The Lobster Pot is "rustic elegance." And their HUGE lobsters are certainly not to be trifled with. GO HERE, YELPers! Get on The Pot! Thank you, Guy and Lobster Pot, for making a perfect evening for me and my One. You take great pride in your craft and your place is top-notch in all respects. See you next review, YELPers! read more

A Yearly Tradition ! I have been coming here here with my family since childhood. The food has always been fantastic, and the owners have always been kind. As a kid, i always got a frap and long hotdog. Now, the scallops and clam chowder are my favorites. They now have a bar area and live lobsters on display. The bathroom always clean, and the parking is ample. You will not be disappointed y this near Cape gem ! read more

Just be patient with them on the phone and I promise you will not be sorry! They definitely 10000% care.

This place is absolutely disgusting a order of fish and chips meal was 20 dollars for the smallest portion ever. The fries were cold and gross and stale. The cole slaw was disgusting and soggy. The clam chowder was in a small cup. The trader sauce smelt bad and was old. The food was above all flaverless and just unedible. The clam chowder also was watered down. The place smells and the bathroom is nasty. We left with hurt stomaches and food poisoning. And 40 dollars out of our pocket. read more

I'm ever disappointed when I'm here at The Lobster Pot! This restaurant has such a friendly, laid back atmosphere that I love. The giant tank of live lobsters lets me know that the lobster here is fresh and cooked to order. They also have a huge variety of fried, broil and steamed menu options here, but let's be honest. I'm here for the lobster! I enjoyed the Steamed Lobster with Littlenecks and Corn. Everything was perfectly prepared, just like I would at home minus the clean up and extra mess! Huge parking lot, tons of Comfortable seating indoors and plenty of outdoor seating space as well. Can't wait to come back! read more

We had visitors down for Mother's day and decided to head here for lunch. A nice surprise was that on Mother's day every mother got a long stem rose. We started out with a small order of onion rings and two medium sodas. They did not have any combinations plates where you could pick out several items for your order other than the fisherman's platter. So that was a disappointment right off the bat as my wife and I usually like to order a 2 item combo plate at other fried seafood establishments. She ended up with the shrimp platter and I with the Fisherman's platter. The fisherman's platter came with clam strips, fish, scallops, shrimp. I wanted whole belly clams with my platter so that was 12 dollars more to get that platter which substituted for the clam strips but you got and extra piece of fish with that. All in all the meal cost us 69.00 dollars - I will let you decide if the cost was worth it. Please see our posted photos read more

Overpriced, overrated. I have had much better seafood in RI. The chowder is a bit bland and watery. The clam strips are decent but I've had better at Franks in Brockton. My 9 y/o son has a life threatening food allergy (peanut/treenut) so I asked the manager what if anything was safe for him to eat. He asked me to repeat the question as he didn't understand it. The cashier giggled. I repeated it and he said that anything at the raw bar is safe (steamed seafood/lobsters). Everything else is cross contaminated (everything fried as well as chowder). He wasn't interested in anything from the raw bar so settled for Mcdonalds down the road. We bought a clam strip boat, bowl of chowder, 1 soda and bottle of water = $25.00. Overpriced for the portion and quality. I most likely would not return. Overall not impressed. read more
