Totally worth a stop here. The ladies friendliness was appreciated especially since this was our first visit. One lobster roll might not be enough though. Cold case of drinks, but a beer would have been great with it. read more

Im not typically a lobster roll person, but as a foodie, I love trying great food. When I saw this spot on my IG feed, I knew I had to give it a shot. Parking was a bit tricky, and the lobster roll was on the pricier side, but for fast food, it was surprisingly good. Definitely worth the drive and the parking hassle. read more

Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls - Annapolis - *Classic Roll - Seafood Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Being in Annapolis and known for seafood I just had to have a lobster roll and Masons seemed like a great choice! Once inside they had a simple menu and served lobster rolls as well as various other menu choices. I was surprised to see that there were four different ways to choose from for how your lobster roll is prepared. After exploring the four choices I went with the Connecticut roll and that was due to the fact it was served warm as opposed to a cold lobster roll. I ordered the combo which came with a drink and a side, of which I got cape cod chips to complement the roll. It was quickly prepared and surprisingly very affordable. The whole combo came to $25 not including tax which wasn't bad compared to how much I have spent for lobster rolls in the past. The flavor was incredible! It was nice and buttery but didn't overpower the lobster taste. The pickle and bread complemented the lobster very well. So did the cape cod chips. I was surprised by how delicious it was and I was filled with it as well. I would definitely come back to Masons if I was in Annapolis again as it was a quick counter to order and the food was fresh and delicious. read more

Came by today for a late lunch once we arrived in Annapolis. Ordered: 1) bar harbor lobster roll (50% more meat) x 3 2) 3 Nathan's hot dogs 3) clam chowder x 2 So worth it to get the lobster roll with more meat. Tastes great too. Kids love the hot dogs. Clam chowder a bit watery. Overall a good meal with lots of melted butter and bread. Lobster roll comes with a thin slice of pickle too. Parking on the street for $1 per 15 minutes. read more

The Classic lobster roll was delicious! Lobster meat was very fresh. The bun was lightly toasted to perfection. The small bit of seasoning assured that the lobster tasted like fresh lobster and was not covered by sauce. I was the only one at the restaurant on a Thursday morning. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area! Clean restaurant. Service was quick, got my roll in about five minutes. read more

Stopped in here while on a stroll through town on our way to the waterfront. Street parking is hit or miss depending on timing of visit and is metered paid parking. Restaurant is located on the street level near the front of the large building, which contains multiple shops. Lobster roll preparation is done in front of the patrons in quick fashion and is hot and delicious. Loaded with claw and chunk lobster meat on a soft split bun. It was near the end of the business day, so the place appeared a bit unkempt and trash cans were full. Will assume they had been slammed with earlier business and just had not had time to deal with all of it. Would return if ever in the area. Good value. read more

Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls - Annapolis - Lobster roll with a pickle spear. - Seafood Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Overall taste is what you would expect from a lobster place in Annapolis, MD, but originally from Maine turned chain restaurant. What this means - you'll get a decent tasting item with a great tasting roll but lacking in substance. The roll was $22 and the size of a hotdog. Next time you're considering getting a lobster roll, consider whether you want a snack or a meal. Expensive snack, and if you're really hungry go somewhere else. read more

Well priced for a lobster roll, quick service, packed with meat and some solid flavor. It was nice too sit at the window and people watch. :) read more

Was too hungry, ate too fast, and felt ill. But it was delicious anyhow. The place to small and has uncomfortable seating. Service was mediocre. Clam chowder had no clam! read more

Cute little restaurant with a great view of passerby in downtown Annapolis! Had two fantastic Connecticut lobster rolls and I love the Bay Harbor option to get extra lobster meat. My son also has a severe dairy allergy and they gave us the butter on the side so he was able to try the lobster! Fantastic service, will be back next time we're in Annapolis! read more

I felt like my lobster roll was pretty mid, not what I want to think when I spend 25 bucks. I am used to the lobster filling Being more than what I felt like was just lobster. I also would have liked for my bread to be a tad more buttery, and crisp. I have had a lobster roll at the chop tank just up the road and it was fabulous. I think from now on it if I want a good one that's where I will head to. read more

Still five stars! Excellent lobster rolls. Tried the grilled cheese lobster sandwich and it was delicious. I highly recommend Mason's. Consistently good. read more

You come in here knowing you are going to overpay for a small amount of food and then be hit by the auto tip calculated with 22% as the lowest option for counter service unskilled labor. LOL! Please stop with this 22/25/30% tip choices already. How about $1 an item cuz you are only sticking it in the reheater and spooning me out bland soup with no meat in it? Okay, the lobster roll was fine. I got the Connecticut. I know lobster rolls are overpriced and small so it met expectations. Meat was bland. Expected it to be sweeter. I added salt which helped. Lobster bisque was a big disappointment. In the pictures of the cups and bowls they at least put some meat on top. This had no discernible meat in it. Just buttery cream with some paprika added for color and teeny tiny shreds of some type of meat. Really not worth the price even as a $3 add-on to your meal. You are just drinking hot cream with butter. They also offer a Maine option for $25 which adds lobster tail on top. I love shellfish and lobster but won't return. For $25 you can get a great LOCAL CRAB CAKE platter at a dozen places in town, one of the best being right across the street at Chick & Ruth. Spend your money on something unique to this town. BUT if lobster rolls are your thing... get one. I'm sure it's pretty authentic to what you're looking for. Next to this is a vacant ice cream store... I wish someone would open a seafood market there selling local fresh seafood and fish sandwiches. That'd do great! And it would compliment Mason's. read more

Dare I say the best lobster in Maryland? It was buttery, tender & full of flavor. The toasted bun was a perfect compliment. Can't beat the historic wharf vibe, either. Perfect for an on-the-go bite, to fulfill a craving or a gathering with good people. read more

2nd best Lobster Roll I've had yet! Gotta give it up to the Roll I had in Maine. This however was a very good experience. Clean and welcoming service. Location is fun, and inside of restaurant serves it's purpose. Got some chowder too, also good. I'd definitely go back! read more

Wow, this is the peak of what lobster rolls can and should be. Every lobster roll spots need to offer their rolls with the tail. Nicely cooked and adds that extra luxury to the roll. Bisque was OK but I'd skip next time. Nice inside, great to sit at the counter and look outside. Food arrived quick. Price for the roll was reasonable at $24 each. Would I return? Abso freaking lutely. read more

Food service atmosphere is just adequate. Had the original lobster roll the meat wasn't really that great. The bread was actually better so my recommendation is try another place. read more

Really delicious! I mean... how could it go wrong? I got the Bar harbor, which adds a lobster tail in. They have choices of creamy and thin soups. I like the former. Hint: there's a second bathroom in the ice cream parlor that is attached. read more

Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls - Annapolis - The Bar Harbor - Seafood Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Underwhelming. Connecticut just tasted like butter and soggy lobster. Lobster bisque was not it. Would go somewhere else to spend the money.

Downtown Annapolis is full of great spots. Mason's is up there. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward. I get the CT Lobster Roll as I prefer butter based. Always great. The buttery, chilled lobster with the warm toasted bun is always a good combo. I tried the Lobster Bisque this time and was not impressed. Had no lobster meat and it was very watery. I much prefer the Lobster Bisque at Ram's Head tbh. read more

Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls - Annapolis - Connecticut Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

We ordered The Bar Harbor (50% more lobster for only an additional $5.00) and the Lobster Salad on fresh greens. The roll was amazing and came with a full tail, in addition to the regular roll meat. The fresh greens on the salad were truly fresh and crisp, and the amount of lobster meat was more than satisfying. Given the cost of lobster these days, the price was very reasonable ($20-$25 each), especially in downtown Annapolis. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

I think the Wharf location gives more lobster but nonetheless the connecticut roll was delicious, bread was nice and buttery.. the rolls are just expensive for the size. read more

Really outstanding lobster rolls! I've only had the Connecticut roll - the warm and super buttery one. It's so yummy and one of the best lobster rolls I've had. I love the buttery, toasted bread they use and the lobster itself is really fresh and juicy. I've also tried the lobster mac and cheese which wasn't my favorite, but I can totally admit that I am very picky about mac and cheese. I do look forward to trying more stuff on their menu. Also, I've been about 3 times to different locations and have always had a really good experience with customer service. The vibe is very casual, which I also like. Definitely worth trying. read more

The Connecticut roll was great! I honestly could have eaten two off them I wish they were bigger. Staff was nice. Restaurant was clean.

Stopped here on my trip to Annapolis on the first day when we were STARVING. Many people had recommended coming here and it was really good! I got the classic roll which was really good. Large chunks of lobster , decent price - I think around $20+. The restaurant only has a few tables and not a super extensive menu. The lobster I believe is all from Maine. I would be interested in trying out other menu items, since there are several ways lobster is offered. We also got drinks from the cooler - no fountain. This is pretty much a no frills, order the classics, eat and move along! The staff was very nice and our food was prepared quickly! read more

A very popular joint filled with customers. Busy but not noisy. Great location and good food. We ordered classic lobster rolls, a good amount of lobster meat, I wish the rolls were hotter and crispier. read more

The only thing missing - temperature. I've seen plenty of individuals leaving Masons with to go bags in the Annapolis area for some time now. Finally decided to place a lunch over over the phone - had great customer service, good communication on the pickup time and was given my total respectfully. Totally pleased. Picked my food up at my stated time, received my order and left. The food? Good - I ordered the BLT & lobster Mac and Cheese (not pictured). Both were good, very. Just cold. And - not truly filling for $20+. 4/5 stars for taste and quality. read more

Do you know how hard it is to find a good lobster roll?! Let alone a GREAT lobster roll!? I was so pleased to take the trip to Annapolis to Masons and it was worth it. First let's start with the lobster bisque and mac and cheese. Both were tasty (the mac and cheese could've had just a tad bit more salt, but otherwise it was good) and satisfied both my pallet and tummy. Now on to the main event, the lobster roll. The roll is about the palm of your hand so I ordered two, one classic (served cold) and one Connecticut (served warmed), both were delicious. OMG the delicious lobster meat and warm butter bread . Typically when you order a lobster roll south of Massachusetts you get frozen lobster meat that taste chewy and wet, but the meat here tasted fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back for another 2...or 5 rolls. read more

This is the "in place" to get a lobster sandwich however I was a bit disappointed. There was abundant lobster on the warm buttered roll, but no flavor other than the sweet, mild lobster taste. I would prefer the Connecticut Roll which had a lemon buttery sauce to add to the flavor. read more

The family raved about this spot and they weren't wrong. I loved the Connecticut roll filled with with fresh warm lobster and topped with the perfect amount of butter. The bread was delicious and the portion size was decent. The Classic Roll which is served chilled was also a favorite. We ordered the extra lobster tail to top the roll and it was delicious! The complimentary pickles were a good addition to the rolls as well. Compared to other lobster rolls ordered, I found these rolls to be reasonably priced. There is outdoor seating available, but they're primarily in the sun. You can also sit inside, two bar stools available with a view out the front window and a table for four in the center. The staff was friendly and we appreciated how accommodating they were. This spot is a great place to try for a quick bite to eat before your tour of the city. We'll definitely be back for more. read more

Looking for a solid lobster roll (imported from Maine), then this is a great spot. I have the Connecticut (warm) roll. The roll is toasted with butter, yum, the meat is in large pieces, super fresh and buttery too. My family had the traditional lobster roll (chilled) and everyone finished theirs and really enjoyed it. We share a lobster bisque, this pretty good but nothing to rave about. If you're craving a soup on a chilly day, it's a nice option then. The only thing I'd change, is I wish fries were an option as a side, to share that would've gone nicely with the rich sandwich. read more
