Lobsters are over priced and you get nothing with it but a very small cup half filled with melted butter. The sides , such as they are , were very expensive and not good. The lobster was served in the rough, think really rough and the small cracker was useless. You get only a small pick and no knife or fork. By the time you get to the meat, it is cold! For the amount they charge, you could go somewhere and have a nice dinner and not have to eat like a caveman. read more

Overall general ambiance of the deck was great. Food was great, we had lobster rolls, half dozen oysters, and the half and half (half clam chowder, half lobster bisque). Parking is tough, we had to park at another business parking and walk over. We love the BYOB. read more

Excellent attentive service even though I only saw two servers manning everything. No frills but cozy ambience. The prices were great $2 oysters and $22 for a 1.25 lb lobster. It's cash only (ATM on site charges $3) and BYOB so we brought a couple a beers with us. Definitely enjoyed our lunch there and would recommend read more

Love this place. Super authentic! Great ambiance. Nice owners. I had the lobster roll which I enjoyed. My brothers had the 1.5 lb cooked lobster. They both loved it! I also had the lobster bisque which was delicious and very flavorful. Next time I'll try the clam chowder. I also had the oysters on the half shell which was a good value. Didn't care for the Cole slaw, but the potato salad was good. We ate our food so quickly that I didn't get many pics of the food. The outside dining is on a pier and is very comfortable and relaxing. read more

Amazing food and experience. The kids had a great time running around during low tide, choosing their own lobsters and eating pre-cleaned steamers. The young girls working there were absolutely wonderful. The food was as good as the service. I highly recommend this place! Two things to note. The chowders were not creamy like the usual kind you get in New England and the picks to get the lobster out are plastic, not metal. Also, as others already mentioned it's cash only. We really enjoyed our time at morrison's lobsters read more

Contrary to Yelp's status, this place IS open (as of May 29, 2022). Found this place on Google maps and decided to walk over from Portsmouth. First, the main pro -- the location cannot be beat! Right on the waterfront, on the dock. They have the lobsters alive and on display as you walk in. Morrison's only has the cold, mayonnaise, "traditional" lobster roll. The lobster roll comes with a bag of Utz potato chips, and as of May 2022 was priced at $27 a roll. The lobster itself was good, but portions were pretty small. The bread itself is just normal white bread. I liked how the lobster wasn't too drenched in mayo. Tax and a 15% tip is included in the final bill. Overall, worth a visit, but lobster roll felt a little overpriced for the amount. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Off the beaten path and hidden from the main road but they know what they are doing! Very authentic lobster shop! Menu may be small but it has all the lobster essentials! Lobsters are cooking right as you walk in. The woman running the place was delightful. BYOB. I got the lobster roll and it was a large portion of meat. The bun was perfectly toasted as well. Others in my party had the garden salad with lobster and they as well received a lot of meat in there salads. Lobster was quality. Not too much mayo, lightly dressed and could really taste the sweetness and freshness of the lobster. The view from the deck is also lovely. The harbor with all the boats and the bridge. Hank the schnauzer was a bonus too as he was a great dining companion! read more

Nice, quaint place. Inside or outside on the deck over the water atmosphere. Whole steamed lobsters in various sizes, clam chowder, lobster bisque or a mix of the two. Steamer clams and mussels. Lobster rolls on grilled hotdog roll was excellent and all lobster no filler. 1.5 lb lobster chock full for $31. Chowder tasty. Good deal. Service fast and friendly. Cash only (ATM on sight) and BYOB. Will be back! read more

Great food, great view, great service. I walked across the bridge to get here and wasn't disappointed. Follow the signs and it's in the back of a house. I went when it wasn't busy so I was able to sit on the patio under the shade and enjoyed myself immensely! read more

Morrison's Lobsters is a hidden gem tucked away on Badgers Island, which has outside seating out on a wooden deck along the banks of the Piscataqua River with great views of the Portsmouth skyline and the bridges. I was here for an UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event), organized by Don W., which took place on a very hot sunny Sunday afternoon with the nice warm breeze from the water softly blowing at us. Ditto to Don W. and Rebecca O.'s reviews. The menu is simple, which offers lobsters, lobster rolls, hot dogs, chips, potato salad, cole slaw, lobster bisque, clam chowder, canned soda, and bottled water. Since no alcohol is served here, it's BYOB! The waitress came outside to take our orders. I started out with a cup of half & half lobster bisque & clam chowder ($4.50) mixed together, which passed the "spoon test" and tasted decent. However, I'd get the lobster bisque by itself next time. Most of my party ordered Lobsters (Market Price plus $3 steam and setup charge per person eating lobster) and no cheesy looking "plastic bibs" were provided like at many touristy establishments. I had a Lobster Roll with Cape Cod chips ($12), and a side of potato salad ($1), which was very good and tasty. I finished my can of Diet Coke and needed another one, but the waitress was nowhere around. Don W. graciously grabbed more melted butter for the lobster and another Diet Coke for me using an "honor system", later adding $1.50 to the check. After we were finished with the meal, the waitress brought out the damages (check) and quickly left. Tax and 15 percent tip are included in the check, parties of 6 or more 20 percent tip included. We tallied up the check plus additional tip and left the money on the counter since no one was around. The waitress came outside as we were leaving to say goodbye and retrieved the money on the counter. Overall, I like this place since it's not mobbed and I can enjoy my food in a relaxed and laid back setting and take in the great views of the Piscataqua River and the Portsmouth skyline. read more

I finally made it to Morrison's Lobsters! It is more or less a small shack on the water with a big dock out on the water (see pics). I agree with Don that the service is spotty. The owner woman is nice and all but it appears to be a 1-2 person run operation. The menu is small. Very small. -Lobsters, steamed. -Lobster Roll w/ Chips ($13) -Clam Chowder (Small $4.95 lg $6.95) -Lobster Bisque -Steamers Sides are potato salad or slaw. That's it . I did not see any bowwows on the menu. I thought it was pretty pricey. We had 1 lobster roll and 2 chowders & 1 bottle water for $31. Tax & tip are included in the price. The setting on the water is just lovely. PS As Don suggested, we parked in Portsmouth and walked over the bridge which was fun. We even got to see it go up and let the large boats pass. Cool! read more

The negative reviews on here are ridiculous. We found this place by walking across the bridge and finding a more calm, quiet atmosphere than the rat race in Portsmouth. We got some beer across the street at a convenience store to drink while we waited for a table. The two women running the whole place were quick and efficient, I didn't need them to slow down and exchange pleasantries, they're running a well oiled machine. We ordered the steamers cause some local guy came stumbling out highly recommending them and he was right! I never had a steamer before but I am still thinking about them! They were so buttery and salty and delicious. I even ate the "foot" or the neck and it tasted like a shrimp. Id drive to Maine specifically for that bucket of steamers!! The lobster roll was also delicious and filling. The bun wasn't soggy at all. And if it has Costco mayonnaise as suggested by another reviewer, then I guess I am a fan of Costco mayo. This place is great! Amazing views, great food, less people! Come here. They did add the tip to our check for two people so watch out for that, but otherwise, it was fab. read more

The place has a great view, fresh lobster, great people and it's BYOB. So you are not paying $15 for a drink!

We stopped through this town briefly on our way to Maine. We walked around for awhile before we decided to walk across the bridge and dine here. When we realized it was byob there conveniently was a little store right down the street where we got some cold beers to go with an amazing lunch. We waited a bit for our table because it was busy but completely worth it. The two ladies who ran everything were working very hard to service the masses. We enjoyed amazing fresh steamed clams which I've never had to this caliber. Combined with a little Dixie cup of butter it was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed lobster rolls and chips. Sitting outside on the water fueled my soul. Such a great lunch. I highly recommend it! read more

No frills, cash only and BYOB. And absolutely one of the best lobster experiences I've had. The lobsters are fresh and are cooked absolutely perfectly - so sweet and juicy that I didn't need the butter. If you're looking for the New England lobster experience, definitely try this. read more

The place is featured as lobster in the rough. Rough it is. The operation was run alone by a young boy who was pleasant, but limited in the help he could provide. If you order a whole lobster be careful. The only implement he had to take the lobster apart was a nutcracker that would only be capable for cracking open almonds. My wife had a 1 1/2 pound lobster and the large claw was almost impossible to break open. No scissors to cut open the tail. A thin plastic lobster fork that would bend 90°. And, in case you thought this did not really qualify as good service, the tip is included automatically in the bill. read more

I went back to Morrison's for the first time this year. Service seemed better than I remember last year, but it's still really laid back. If you're not eating lobster or drinking soda, bring it. There's parking, but it's walking distance to Portsmouth and if want to check out the city, park in Portsmouth and walk over the bridge to Morrison's. It's pricey, but a bit cheaper than Chauncey Creek or the Blue Claw. And the tip is included so remember that when you're thinking about how much to tip. Quick update (4/21/12): You can only walk to Morrison's from Portsmouth when the bridge is there. In 2012 and probably much of 2013, they're replacing the bridge so you can't walk there from Portsmouth. read more

Great place for lunch if you're in no rush! Some seating inside, but most of the seating is outside on the dock. Great view. Some seating does have shade. We had steamed lobsters that came out nothing short of amazing...when in Maine! NO CREDIT CARDS, but there is an ATM here by the bathrooms. 15% tip is automatically added to your bill. 20% tip added for parties 6 or more. BYOB, although they do have soda or bottled water for sale. Oysters are amazing at $2 each. Parking is easy; pull right into the lot, even if there are a ton of cars in the road leading up to it. Most likely there is plenty of parking in the lot. read more

Pretend you have a dock on the water. You have a hodgepodge of plastic chairs, umbrellas and tables put together on said dock on a sunny summer weekend day. You have some friends over for lobster. For the afternoon, you've hired a caterer from Craig's List. Not the stuffy white shirt kind, but the sure-I'll-come-over-and-cook-for-you kind. So over come you friends. The menu is ONLY chowder, lobster and potato salad (and hot dogs). You tell your friends they want something else, they better bring it with them (including booze). You'll have some sodas and water. Everyone will sit down and your caterer will take everyone's order. In a short time, she'll come back with armfuls of lobster and diet coke. That will be the last time you see her. You and your guests will dig into your lobster and love it. You'll need another soda and since the caterer is no where to be found you just help yourself on the honor system. You'll finish the meal and clean up after yourselves. You'll leave the appropriate amount of cash for the caterer and call it a day. In fact, you call it one of those days that define why we live in New England. read more

Omg why would anyone in their right mind pay $17 for a stale hot bun with 2 oz of lobster mixed with costco mayonnaise and a kids sized bag of lays potato chips?? Go to the nearest gas station, buy a hot dog and a bag of chips and you'll have a better meal and will save yourself $15 per person at least. We were in town visiting friends and offered to take them to dinner and they took us to this place and the experience was shocking. Like not in a good way. I'm still totally flabbergasted that our bill for the worst meal ever came out to $90. I saw other patrons eating puny hot dog sandwiches with chips off of paper plates so didn't bother paying attention to prices (I was busy running around with our 10- month old) so I nearly fell over when the tab for our four shitty sandwiches and pieces of corn (no butter even) came to $90. And I was actively still hungry afterwards. And totally shocked. We could've had a really good meal for that amount of money. I'm still in shock. That was my first and last lobster roll ever. read more

Maine Lobster. In Maine. That pretty much sums up Morrison's lobsters. It's really just a dock that juts out into the river. You get patio furniture, disposable plates, and scrumptious red delights pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean. There's fishermen working at the dock next door, and really nothing else other than lobster and chowder or lobster bisque. But its good food. Really though, if it were bad, they must be doing something seriously wrong. The lobster's fresh and local, and that's all it really is. We had a lobster roll since that's a far more convenient way to eat. It was great! It was kind of pricey, but hey, it's lobster! read more

I've eaten there many times and never have been disappointed in anything served. Great and super fresh lobster, fantastic chowders and steamers void of even a grain of sand. Overlooking the river makes for a relaxing night out . Byo or get soft drinks and water there. Cash only byt they have a atm on site. It's what a true local lobater hiuse should be . Pkus the friendly staff makes it complete. read more

This is the best lobster we've ever had!!! Steamed in ocean water Service is amazing, friendly, cozy!! Best place ever!!!

We love this place. If the weather is warm you have the breeze off the water. The Steamers are super clean and always delicious and done to perfection. The lobster is the same. You get to bring your own booze and we chose beer but plenty were sitting drinking good bottles of wine and jazzing up the scenery. This place is simple and clean and if you want to experience good lobster and clams then this is the place to go. read more

Chauncey Creek is great too for this sort of BYO-side shellfish thing but Morrison's is walkable to downtown Portsmouth (just across the bridge) which makes it a no brainer! The view looking across river to the park and downtown Portsmouth is just awesome. We didn't realize they stop serving at 8 but they let us stay out on their deck with our wine even after they were done cleaning up and had left which was classic! read more

A+ for location and steamers (clams). Hot afternoon and really appreciated sitting on pier over the water with a nice breeze. Classic view of Portsmouth from the Piscataqua river. Wish they had crab roles... menu is a bit limited. heads up - cash only and BYOB. read more

Hidden gem with a beautiful view of Portsmouth's riverfront. What it is: The best place to get fresh lobster and steamers on the seacoast. We've eaten here as a family 20+ times and have never been disappointed. Casual atmosphere. Friendly service from the owner and one or two wait staff. BYOB. Always a great time. What it is not: Fancy. If you're looking for a fine china experience this is not for you. read more

Don't bother with this place , very rude, service was terrible and lobster was okay but the bun was soggy (ew)

Good lobster on small stale hot dog roll with a bag of chips for $15.99! The smallest lobster roll I have ever seen! Waitress nice but doesn't do much including not bringing a napkin with your lobster roll. But she doesn't have to "earn" her tip because 15% tip is included in the bill if you read the small sandwich board on the table, she did NOT point it out on the check or verbally. Disappointing to say the least considering I'm in Maine and can get a much better and less expensive lobster roll in upstate NY with a beautiful setting on a lake!! And to use the restroom you have to walk through the "kitchen"! read more

Very much a rip off! Go to a really nice restaurant and save yourself some money. Three 1.5lb lobsters and three ears of corn came out to $116. NOT WORTH IT! read more

I was really disappointed with this place. I've tried many lobster rolls in this area and this one is close to the bottom. -Over priced for the amount of lobster you get -Bun wasn't toasted -The lobster meat was covered in tomalley (green lobster guts) -A lot of knuckle meat and no big chunks The only redeeming quality is that it is BYOB and the chowder for $6 a cup was decent. read more

Do not waste your time going here! Many many lobster to be had all over the area with out the over pricing! Lobster rolls are tiny on a regular hot dog bun that isn't grilled $16.99. Go across the bridge to Portsmouth NH to State Street Saloon for their lobster roll same amount of lobster for $6.99. The steamed lobster was good but Way over priced. Morrisons weigh your lobster just prior to cooking. One member of our table ordered a pound and half lobster when the bill came was charged for two pounds. When questioning the waitress (and the "chef" who was steaming them) about the error she shrugged her shoulders and stated "lobsters grow"! The steamed lobster comes with no sides only a very small amount of butter. I am surprised the health department hasn't closed them down. The Bathroom is located in the kitchen! You literally walk through the kitchen where they make things such as over priced tuna on a hot dog bun or a special panini. Also dogs are welcome there, I am fan of dogs but No I do not want my waitress petting dogs then plating and bring my food without a pause to wash her hands! GROSS They then add gratuity to the bill! So readers here is a few tips for you First do Not go here for any reason! second go to any lobster pound in the area Flannerys Saunders etc. have them stream your lobsters take them to Prescott Park across the bridge in Portsmouth enjoy the same view without paying a rude witness 20% ! read more

We love this kind of place. Very simple food (and delicious), BYOB, inexpensive, and a GREAT location.
