    Lobster roll
    Payton H.

    A great spot to get more affordable and delicious lobster rolls. It's fast-casual style with some seating inside. I got the 4oz lobster roll served warm. It came with your choice of kettle chips and assorted drinks. The lobster was plump, fresh, and juicy. I loved how buttery the roll was. There was a perfect amount of mayo and seasoning to complement but not overpower the lobster. I also tried the shrimp roll, which was tasty but came with very small shrimps.

    Had the lobster roll. The bread was delicious but the lobster was served cold. Don't know if this normal but felt it should be warm.

    Good counter service. The place is packed. Try to avoid lunch rush as the seating is limited. Cozy place. Ordered the lobster roll and clam chowder. Both were okay. It came with chips and drinks.

    Where they source their seafood

    I came to Boston with the intention of trying a lobster roll and this place did not disappoint. I'm from Long Island NY, and usually lobster rolls at seafood restaurants cost in the neighborhood of $40, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that their 14 oz. roll was only $28. On the wall they also have the specific source of the day which is cool. Yesterday I had lobster from Port Hood, Canada. It came stuffed full of chilled lobster meat, soaked in lemony butter on a toasted buttery bun. I devoured the whole thing in like two minutes- it was heavenly!!! The meat was so sweet and decadent, and the spices they sprinkled on top complimented the whole sandwich perfectly. I was delighted to find that they have a few locations in New York City as well... didn't realize they'd spread out so much! Will definitely be visiting my local Luke's Lobster again this summer!!!

    Skip the lobster rolls at Quincy Market...Luke's Lobster Downtown Crossing is on another level. The lobster roll was outstanding: fresh, light, and perfectly balanced with just a hint of zest. Not overly buttery like the ones you'll find at tourist traps, you can truly taste the freshness of the lobster. The pieces were generous and meaty, and the flavor was absolutely out of this world. I'm not usually a crab fan, but I tried their crab roll as well and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. The space itself is small but very clean, with fast and efficient service. I highly recommend Luke's Lobster. Hands down, the best lobster roll I've ever had.

    I order the shrimp, crab, and lobster roll flight! The sandwiches were small, but tasted very good! All three were chilled and tasted fresh Boston seafood! The meal came with your choice of drink and chips! I was pleasantly surprised to see that their drink options were in-house sodas and lemonade! I paired the rolls with a crunch sea salt and vinegar chip making a great lunch for right around $30. The ambiance was small but clean and comfortable! The location is fantastic being in the heart of downtown boston and very walkable to many hotels, and shopping. I would highly recommend Luke's Lobster to locals and travelers!

    Luke's Lobster / Boston, MA - Chowder 4.5 - Lobster Roll 4.75 - Atmosphere 4 Chowder is thick and very flavorful with lotsa' fresh clams and right amount of potato and some corn. Excellent. Excellent Lobster roll. Split top griddled hot dog bun, and tons of fresh lightly dressed lobster. Points off for no celery, cause I like celery in my roll. Also there a distinct Old Bay seasoning taste to the rolls which I personally enjoy but some might not. But honesty almost perfect. Also wish chips were included (update may 2025 - chips and pickle now included) Cuute modern nautical but not "ye old fish shack" space and best of all Maine Root blueberry soda A very decent urban lobster roll experience. All that and blueberry soda!!!

    Two half's- best lobster roll ever
    Jacob S.

    Imer was awesome. This guy is so passionate about what he does. He walked us through the menu and made sure we had ordered just what we needed. I heard about Luke's lobster through Jacob Knowles YouTube channel. I'm glad I got a chance to try it. The atmosphere is great, and the food is amazing. Just the right bite for a quick lunch while touring Boston. We'll definitely be back!

    Lobster Roll - Select (6oz)

    Best Lobster Roll, hands down!! Just the right balance of butter, mayo and seasoning with a ton of meat on a perfectly toasted bun! Absolutely delish!!

    Lobster Roll

    Yum! I ordered the meal (shown below) and it came to just shy of $50. I think the experience was definitely with the $50. The lobster was amazing and while I had previously not been a fan of clam chowder, this one was so good! The blueberry soda was definitely the move as well. Not a ton of room inside, but other than that, Luke's was great!

    Lobster rolls sampler: truffle butter, spicy, regular and clam chowder
    Lori I.

    The gluten free roll is the best GF bread I have ever eaten in the last 20yrs. The lobster bisque was also gluten free, which was a treat because usually there's flour in soups for thickening. I got the crab roll on GF bun, which was excellent especially dipped in the bisque...and we also ordered the lobster roll sampler with clam chowder. All our meals came with chips and a drink. This place was our first stop, I hope we come back soon!

    Lobster roll flight with three flavours (lemon butter, spicy honey butter, and truffle utter).

    Boston, MA - came here to try lobster rolls. I chose the lobster roll flight combo which included three flavours (lemon butter, spicy honey butter, and truffle butter) on a toasted buttered bun. The lobster meat was tender and delicious. Honestly, the flavours were very mild so I couldn't really taste the flavours. Still, I enjoyed the meal. This included a bag of chips and a drink for $42 US. Restaurant is small with limited seating and was quite busy around 5:30pm. I would consider this meal to be quite pricey since earlier in the day I had a delicious large lobster roll at James Cook & Co which was $40.99 that had almost double the amount of lobster meat but no chips or drink (see my review there). I would definitely prefer more lobster meat if both have the same sweet tender meat!

    Tried this spot while visiting Boston and absolutely loved their food. I tried their lobster roll flight that had shrimp, lobster and crab and it was so delicious and flavorful. I wish I had another one for home. Service was pretty quick, got the food within 10 mins of ordering. They have some seating space inside and overall a very casual ambiance.

    I'd heard of Sam LaGrassa's for years but had never managed to make it there. My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

The staff is so nice and it's Boston, low key all around. I'd like to officially put my bid in for the seasonal Korean "Good for the Seoul" BBQ sandwich to find a home on the permanent menu. It just ended in July and I am heartbroken. My taste buds are piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed to say the least. It was the sandwich that dreams are made of: soft (yet firm) seeded roll, thin fresh cooked chicken cutlets, cabbage slaw, pickled carrots, gochujang BBQ sauce and sriracha mayo. I stood in 85 humid sunny Boston heat for 20-25 min for it. Yes, it's that good. It's heaven on a bun! I've gotten the Drunken Parm, the Hogan, and the Caprese as well. All solid and delicious. I've never gotten one I didn't like. They are pleasant and open to customizing them as well. i.e. no lettuce, extra onion, BBQ on the side. I'm also not sure how, but Thomas the cashier remembers my name every time. That's SO impressive. I mean, I know I don't blend like most, but still, my name among all those people all week long at all the locations? I feel honoured to say the least. Seriously. I didn't get a picture of the BBQ sandwich because honestly, I had devoured it before realizing I should have. whoops. I did get a pic of the Hogan and will post that soon. The good: All of it. and I mean ALL OF IT. You can opt to get chicken, eggplant or one cutlet of each if you're feeling swanky. The location - this is good and bad. Good right by my building and bad that it moves down to Dewey Sq other days. BOO! The bad: The line. They open at 11:30am at Rowes Wharf and there is a line that starts to form at 11:15. I got there today at 11:20 and there were 8 people ahead of me. I might bring a lounge chair with me one of these days. The cost. I personally don't feel it's outrageous. It's a food truck in Boston on the Wharf and it's phenomenal. However, that said I think it's at the cap of what I would spend. I feel it's worth it for what you get. it's $15 for 1/2 and $20 for full sandwich. Pro Tip: psssst, get the full and take 1/2 home. Or eat it if you can't control yourself. I won't berate you for that. I don't consider it bad, but some do.. they cap you at 4 sandwiches per order. If you want more, get catering. And invite me over. Cheers!

The meats are sliced fresh and all the sandwiches are made by hand. You have a lot of choices ... and the menu is odd. It stretches from one end of the ordering counter to the other ... it's so long that it's difficult to read the choices at the beginning of the sign. We got the Paradiso, which is made with Mortadella (imagine a thin-sliced bologna) with pistachio cream. Thoughts on the sandwich: Size: - This is one of those places which gives you too much sandwich. I'd come back more often if the sandwiches were $10 - $12 for a single portion. Honestly, the sandwiches here could probably feed two people ... which is fine because it allowed us to split it. However, if I am getting lunch for myself, I don't want to pay double and take a half home. Ingredients: - The best part of the sandwich was the foccacia bread. It was crisp but light ... had a little bit of oil on it and it was dense enough to fill you up. Slightly salty. - The mortadella was high quality ... but at the end of the day, $20 for a bologna sandwich is tough. Also, I was a little surprised at how thin of a layer they put on for the price. - Pistachio/Cream ... Very sweet, I felt like I would have liked a little more savory to balance it out. The sandwich was very pistachio forward and that was the predominant taste. I'd have liked the mortadella to stand out more. Overall, you won't find a sandwich as similar to what you'd get in Italy anywhere else. This place is a bit over hyped in my opinion but the sandwiches are pretty authentic to what you'd find in Italy. Unique combinations and high quality ingredients but the prices are just so fucking sky high here. - The bread is the best part

    Incredible - just about identical to what I had at the Florence location. It might be sad, but my…read moreday trip from Providence RI to Boston was centered around getting a sandwich here. I got the La Paradiso which has Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and pistachio ($19). The focaccia bread is out of this world, and I absolutely love the combination of creamy stracciatella with pistachio cream and mortadella. Their sandwiches are massive, and while I am able to finish one no problem, the average appetite would have two meals out of one sandwich. La Paradiso was the same sandwich I got in Italy so I gotta mix it up next time. The service is quick and friendly.

    This is the most expensive Sub place in the area that I know of. 20 bucks a pop…read more I had never been here before but always seen it next to the pork bun place I frequent. I got the Steak Pizzaiola It was a bit dry tasting but had everything In it I ordered and was wider than other sandwiches I usually get, nice portion imo. Worth about 20? perhaps It was alright but not great. Maybe I should have chose something different. Upon Entering there was already a line two people before me. 1 waiting for food and the other waiting to order. The workers were busy making subs. and it took about 5 min before the 1st guy got his food, the 2nd guy ended up leaving ordering nothing. After he got his food I waited another 11 minutes just standing there, every so often an employee would look at me and one finally said they would be right with me. over 10 minutes is too long. I thought maybe they have a lot of online orders? Another person came in after me and during my wait period to order he ended up leaving as well after 7 minutes. I used to actually own a sub shop in Plymouth a few decades ago that got very busy. If there is a long line of people coming in, take the order right away so they can just wait for the food. people dont tend to wait so long as I did and you lose money. This will keep them there. One issue I had was one of the workers a female was sweating profusely while making the food. dripping from her forehead down her nose and hitting the table. Her shirt had sweat all on it. I got a different employee that made my food thankfully , but I keep thinking about this and dont want to go back, this is a food safety issue. Its disgusting to be honest. This was my first time going there and I am a local. I think the sub variety looks good on the board but it took way to long to get the food. after ordering it was another 10 minutes. so altogether around 27 or so minutes. Becketts right around the corner very fresh subs and only takes less than 5 to order and get the food out, they are also busy all the time but much more efficient and friendly. I wanted to like this place and am sure many do but its just not for me and I also dont want sweat in my food.

    Don't let Figaro's limited hours deter you from stopping by. Staff is extremely nice and helpful…read more Portions are huge and you can easily share a sandwich between 2 people. The Buffalo chicken wrap is top 3 I've ever had. Right near south station, I'm going to make a habit of stopping in more regularly. Thank you!
