    We visited Olcott Lobster company on a nice summer weekend. They have a few tables indoors and a large patio. The patio was perfect for the day we visited and they had love acoustic music. We ordered the lobster flight to split, were given a buzzer and told it'd be about a 35 minute wait. It was nearly a 35 minute wait down to the minute! The rolls were loaded with lobster that was cooked perfectly! My boyfriend liked the Connecticut roll best (just buttah) and I liked the Olcott Fire roll best (calabrian chili butter); the New England roll (lemon chive mayo) ranked last for both of us. We did not think $36 was a crazy high price for the trio. There is an extra charge (I think it was 3.5%) for using a credit card. Cash is king!

    I just recently heard about this place so was happy when we were in Olcott this past weekend & had the opportunity to go there. We arrived around 5:00 on Sunday. There was a long line waiting to get inside. Luckily it was a beautiful day & the crowd around us with friendly. Once inside our order was taken & we went out to the patio to wait for our food to be delivered. Again a bit of a wait. On to the food. Their speciality is lobster rolls. We ordered the lobster roll flight. It included the traditional New England roll, a hot Connecticut roll, and the Olcott Fire roll. This way we were able to try them all. They were loaded with huge chunks of tasty lobster. No skimping here. All worth the long wait!. My advise, try to avoid the busy main meal times. Or just sit back & enjoy your time near the lake while waiting. 2025-63

    Reminiscent of a New England oceanside Lobster Shack. It's all takeout with no inside seating. Pleanty of tables and picnic benches outside. It was a bit of a wait to place our order and for them to prepare it but it was worth the wait. The rolls have a lot of Lobster meat in them. There are different sauces including a hot pepper sauce that really spiced it up. They have other things on their menu including items for people with you that don't like or eat Lobster. NOTE: A word of warning. They charge an extra fee if you pay with a credit card. Next time you go to Olcott, it's a must place to stop.

    Cute place tucked in among other small business right at the head of entrance to Olcott. You can park along the main street, a small lot in front, the row of parking on Lockport St or park in the village and walk over. I arrived right around noon, the line was out the door and the patio full already...the doors had just opened! My goal for this mission was the lobster BLT I saw on their menu posted on Instagram. So far there doesnt appear to be a website, so following their social media is the way to go. Right now the process is fairly simple, the main entrance is the door between the other shops. Upon entry you'll walk up to the open kitchen and ordering counter. After placing your order your name will be taken and the food will be brought out to you. Currently there is only patio seating, most likely due to the seasonal nature of the area. After what seemed like a short wait, my food was nearly brought out to me. Although I would devour so many things, being a lobster lover I ordered only the lobster BLT. The lobster BLT is magic. Iceberg lettuce, tomato, bacon (perfect balance of crisp and fatty) between two well toasted slices of bread. This sandwich is magical. (The only thing to make it more magical would be a spread of Miracle Whip. I know! Im a salad dressing gurlie). But really, this sandwich needs nothing but a hungry person to consume it.

    Absolutely delicious! Enjoyed everything we had (lobster roll flight, lobster bisque, and fried shrimp with handmade chips). Plenty of seating and relatively quick considering that it was busy. Well organized. Plenty of beverage options.

    Super cute place with excellent lobster rolls. Lines are usually long but they move fast. Prices are very good. Highly recommend the lobster roll flight.

    Connecticut Roll, lobster flight, homemade chips and Hawaiian slaw
    MaryAnn T.

    This 5 star rating is on the food only.... IT WAS THE BEST LOBSTER IN NYS !!! The lobster was absolutely fantastic... I had the lobster flight ... Which includes: 3oz Maine lobster roll ( cold lobster ( like with mayo ) 3oz Connecticut lobster roll ( warm lobster roll with butter ) 3oz of lobster roll with Calabrian chilies- The homemade chips were good The Hawaiian slaw was good... If you want anything better, you'd have to go to the state of Maine... and you'd get the same thing...annnnd have to travel hundreds of miles to get it... Now let's talk about the restaurant.... 1st off, I'm not sure if this is actually a new place as I would have thought it's ... just an unknown place. There is no indoor seating... all outdoor... Which would have been nice but the Canadian wildfire smoke up north in olcott was a tad heavy, so it woulda been nice to eat inside... but there is no inside 2nd'ly .. the wait line was long, no shade... stood in line for 45 minutes just to get in the door, then you look at the menu on the wall and immediately order and pay right then and there at the register and walk outside to about a dozen mismatched outdoor tables, some with shade umbrellas , some not. Then you wait for the woman bringing food to you for another 20 minutes ( not too bad ) but she gave me anxiety watching her run around like a chicken with her head cut off.. I unfortunately had gone during peak lunch hours... ( when we left the establishment, I looked back ((3:30pm)) and there was no line ) But it was delicious... I gotta admit...lol . It was worth the wait in flavor alone... There was a two person band playing and that was great - it wasn't too loud... just enough to enjoy my meal... The price I paid for these lobster meals was appropriate for what we got - definitely in line with the standard cost of lobster. I was a little puzzled as where the restaurant was because I could not find a sign, so look for the small ferris wheel on the left side of main st and it's right there. I did get a punch card, three punches down, nine to go and I get a free meal!!!!

    Note their menu says chips with the lobster rolls and nowhere does it say it's not part of the lobster roll flights which are all smaller

    Was Just at lewiston branch, menu said you get chips with lobster rolls. We got a lobster flight. We got a servor who was new and knew very little. We were pretty much ignored and told via proxy no chips for us. $130 not well spent on a first time visit with service like this. We even had wait to get our check as no one should make eye contact at the bar.

    lovster roll flight and loaded tater tots

    lobster roll flight and loaded tater tots were sooooo good!! go before it gets busy because it gets pretty hectic in there. definitely worth the money though! cute little area

    This restaurant popped up on my FB feed, had to come check it out. Very cute little place with outdoor seatings only. You order at the counter, they bring the food out. Menu is almost all lobster related, some shrimp. Sides with tater tots, chips and slaw. I got the lobster rolls flight to try all three types of lobster rolls, Maine, Connecticut and Olcott (spicy). I also got the Hawaiian slaw, coleslaw with pineapple chucks. Each lobster rolls in the flight has 3 oz meat, if order just one roll, it has 5 oz meat. They didn't skimp on the meat at all. All freshly made after you order. All tasted delicious. Service is friendly and quick. They open at noon, I got there at 11:38, and I was the 5th, at 11:50, there were more than 30 in line. It's not a place you linger, so it moved pretty fast. Parking can be in the lot by the restaurant or in town. They charge an extra fee for using a credit card to pay. Menu prices are for paying with cash.

    My wife, daughter, and I drove up to Olcott Lobster Company for the first time yesterday. It was a nice 40 minute ride up there on a beautiful late summer day! We found parking and joined the very active line which moved along steadily. A pleasant young staff member brought out copies of the menu for us to look over prior to ordering. We waited in line for 30-35 minutes before placing our order. We were given "beeper" device and found a table on the back patio area. The 15-20 minutes for our order to come out passed quickly as we chatted and listened to a really nice pane that was playing on the corner, so visitors on both patios could hear. Our food was delivered to our table by a friendly young lady who was eager for us to try it. My wife and daughter enjoyed their Connecticut Rolls as much as I loved my Lobster Roll Flight (New England Style (cold with mayo), Connecticut Roll (warm and buttery), and Olcott Fire Roll (warm and buttery with Calabrian peppers)). We also enjoyed their Connecticut Rolls sides that we tried which included the House Made Chips with Old Bay Dusting, the Hawaiian Slaw (SO GOOD!), and the Tator Tots (deep fried with a nice crunch and tender potato center). Thank you, Olcott Lobster Co., for bringing a little bit of New England to this beautiful area. You have done an incredible job in your debut year for absolutely nailing the feel and flavor that I would expect to find in a coastal New England hot spot. We will be back before you close for the season!

On this trip, I came for one specific thing, a monster taco for dinner. It's a huge tortilla (I wanna say 12") loaded up with beef (or chicken), cheese and several toppings of your choice for under $10! I got mine with beef, 1/2 mozzarella 1/2 cheddar, sour cream, salsa, green olives, black olives, banana peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms and hot sauce on the side. It took about 5 minutes from the time I ordered for my food to be ready. They don't have seating , but there are benches along the sidewalk. I opted to sit at the one on the corner and enjoy my monster taco. It did not disappoint! The beef was well seasoned and not greasy at all (see pic of wrapper after taco is gone). There was an ample amount of the toppings that I ordered. It was delicious bite after bite. I only wish the cheese was melted... Maybe put cheese on the tortilla and pop it in the pizza oven quick before putting everything else on. I would definitely go back and order one again and again and again. The staff is always friendly and their bathroom is always clean.

I was surprised to see I haven't written a review but I always have a good experience here! For my mom's birthday, she wanted to grab a beer flight and dinner at Live Edge Brewing. We arrived on a Saturday around 4:45pm and took a parking spot close to the entrance. They have a good-size parking lot so no concerns about finding a space. We walked in and saw the "wait to be seated" sign and soon afterward, a young woman came over and asked how many in our party and where we'd like to sit. The three of us decided to sit on their back patio. We picked a table and our waitress soon followed with drink/food menus. All of the tables outside had umbrellas to help shield from the sun, which on this Saturday was out but the temperature was perfect and there was a slight breeze to cool it down a little. The one oddity we had was that our drink menus didn't match as my menu had more taps listed compared to the others I was sitting with, so I ended up getting a drink in my flight they never saw. I slight hiccup but honestly, you can't be too upset with a drink in your hand! Our waitress was young and incredibly personable, friendly, accommodating, answering all our questions about the food and customizing our orders how we wanted them. We might have let it slip that it was my mom's birthday - Our waitress brought her a birthday cake shot to celebrate, which she loved! Our waitress let us take our time sampling our beer flights before placing our food orders. The wait time for our food was very reasonable, maybe 10-15 minutes, I can't remember as we were having too good a time chatting and sipping. For dinner, I ordered their Nashville Hot Chicken Sammy, which is a hand-breaded toaster-oven-baked chicken breast topped with provolone cheese, pickles, and their Nashville hot sauce between a brioche bun and served with a side of tater tots (a small upcharge from their default chips). The sandwich was delicious! Now, for you spice lovers, I didn't find this sandwich very spicy, it was more about the flavor, the tang of the sauce. I didn't mind it not being that spicy, the flavor was excellent! The pickles were thick and had a nice crisp to them and the provolone cheese paired so well with it all. The tater tots were fried perfectly with a crispier exterior but hot, pillowy-soft interior - For the small upcharge, ~$3.00, they were worth it. The portion sizes were perfect as I was perfectly full, I wasn't uncomfortable. The price of my meal was reasonable as well, especially seeing how everything's costing more in 2026. Live Edge Brewing is not only a family favorite but for me, it's a hidden gem. The friendly, laid back, yet still attentive service and country atmosphere have us continuing to come back each New Year's Eve, and now, this could become a new birthday tradition!

When we were seated indoors initially, we were not pleased. It is excessively loud inside with fellow diners chatting. It might have something to do with the acoustics. We could not even hear each other chatting, my friend and I. Food 4/5 taste of the shrimp tacos with what appeared to be a sweet coconut rice was quite tasty. My seafood wrap was meh. Rather bland and dry. Too much wrap and not enough meat. Both entrees were $26 each. I think that's a bit pricey for a wrap sandwich especially. We ordered house wine, which was $10 a glass. Our Bill came to $97 without tip. Of which $30 was alcohol. I think we're paying more for the scenic location, which really is charming. The band was the attraction for us. We would've liked to sit around the fire pit after dinner to hear the band longer, but there was no seating available in that area. It would be nice to have more available in that respect. We were told that they close for the season the third week of September. So it is a seasonal destination.
