    I was excited to try this place. The area is cute with a variety of seating areas and fire pits. The staff in the truck was very nice but the food left a lot to be desired. Staff 4* Shrimp 3* were on the smaller side and a bit chewy Scallops 1* these were not good. I think they were actually bad as they tasted metallic Haddock 4* the haddock was excellent. I wish I had just ordered this. It was a nice large piece that flaked nicely and was very fresh. Tarter Sauce 4* Onion Rings 3.5* they had a nice flavor and were crispy. Some were over battered Fries 2* if they were cooked a little longer and crispy they would have been great. The seafood on top really made these mushy. If you like crispy fries asked for them to be put on the side and cooked longer. Overall I was disappointed with the food but it was mostly the scallop issue that pushed this to 2*

    Cold lobster roll -- delicious!

    Quite possibly one of the best lobster rolls in all of New England! I prefer mine cold, and Salty's offers both. The cold roll is served in a toasted bun with shredded lettuce and scallions. It had just enough mayo and the lobster meat itself was to die for... literally melt in your mouth good! Our party split two orders each of the French fries and onions rings, and they were piping hot and so fresh. The onion rings were also probably the best I've ever had! The guys in the truck running the show are super friendly and efficient, too. Can't wait to go back!

    Absolutely zero complaints about Salty's Lobster Shack. I'd been wanting to try it for a few weeks and finally stopped in and was actually quite surprised to see several other food trucks and a nice picnic area set up. I had one goal in mind - Salty's lobster roll so I didn't try the other trucks but they appeared to be permanent and had a great variety of foods. Next visit! Salty's has a great menu. Plenty of seafood to choose from and the prices are more than fair. I ended up trying the lobster tater tots - so good! Tons of big pieces of lobster and really filling. Also got a stuffed quahog. Very interesting and huge (perhaps not for me but my dining partner loved it). And the star of the show, of course, was the lobster roll. It appeared small but really it's just a smaller roll and it's stuffed with lobster meat. I mean stuffed - like just tons of yummy lobster meat, including huge claws, with celery and mayo on a toasted roll. Drooling thinking about it. If you're into lobster rolls you simply must stop here and get one!

    Went back to Salty's and love the new setup with other trucks... now there is something for everyone! Yay! The food was killer yet again. $29 per roll July '21, which everyone will agree is a lot, but this is a wonderful roll and worth every bite. Lobster is in the expensive side right now. My friend and I got 1 cold and 1 hot, plus onion rings and lobster tots. The tots were fabulous and $16. The onion rings ($8) were great, but not special enough to order again. We couldn't eat it all and the tots were better. Still no beer, but we BYOB and nobody said anything. I just can't have a water with my lobster roll. Duh.

    UM WOW. THE HYPE IS REAL PEOPLE. GET THE DAMN LOBSTER ROLL. I consider myself a total New England lobstah snob and have tried lobster rolls near and far. Salty, you had me at hello. The scallions, the fresh lobster meat, THE SIZE, the buttery roll, the vibes the chill music, the location, yes to all the feels. HEAVEN IS REAL. All the stars for you Salty. Take all my money. No frills, just some dudes doin their thang and whipping up some amazing fresh grub. Looked like a little man selling some merch, all for the family vibes. SUPPORT LOCAL. Ive seen some people bitchin about when they sell out, give me a break. Working in the industry I have nothing but the highest respect for this local joint. FYI : Selling out means they are doing something right, get in line like the rest of us. FRESH FRESH FRESH. I'm forever a fan, can't wait to be back. Bravo!

    Absolutely do not miss this place! This is such a cool spot! My fiancé and I lamented on how friendly the service was, and noticed how the staff greeted every single person and made them feel welcome. The ambiance is great, with a fire place, twinkle lights, and lobster shaped chairs. The lobster roll and fries were 10/10. They stay open until the end October and we'll certainly have to return before then! What a gem!

I really wanted fish but being from the Boston area I hesitate to order when I'm away especially if I'm not right on the ocean. Anyhow I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the haddock sandwich and the mussels appetizer to go back to the hotel. I can't think of one thing that didn't impress me. First the sandwich, HUGE, fresh, nicely fried piece of haddock packaged beautifully on a bed of lettuce with a nice wedge of lemon; brioche bun lightly toasted and buttered bagged separately; tarter sauce and coleslaw (loved the coleslaw!) on the side. This came with a side ( I chose sweet potato fries). The mussels appetizer, delicious, fresh and enough for a meal for my daughter and I! The broth was so good we could drink it out of the bowl,but we were lucky enough to have a nice bag of toasted bread served with them to sop it up with. All this for under $40! I also have to mention the waitstaff was super attentive and helpful even though it was Friday night and there was a lot going on. That kind of professionalism did not go unnoticed. I am looking forward to experiencing the full dining experience and will definitely be back!

I was heart broken but it was my own undoing as I djdnt make a reservation. Just as I was opening yelp to find another place to try she came and got me from outside as a spot opened up! That's service! And I won't forget it. All the staff was very kind and she checked in with me several times during my meal to make sure it was going well. The ambiance is a little noisy but it's a raw bar that has sports on. The food is delicious. I could have eaten the Cippino forever! The broth was a complex delicious and perfectly spiced tomato base. The seafood was plentiful and large sized. I have never seen shrimp so big! I also ate oysters and had an amazing home made peaches and cream cheese cake. Listen I don't really like cheese cake but I could eat that cake everyday for the rest of my life. Everything from start to finish once I sat down. Was delicious and the staff was very kind. This food was fired fresh in the kitchen. I could see if from my bar seat. So if it took a little bit it was worth it! I'd eat here the next time I'm in Manchester 10/10

I do not want to sound impolite, but I have been to Lobster Claw multiple times (as my parents and aunt enjoy it) and each time, the food has tasted like nothing but oil and the essence of the fryer itself. I've tried many items on the menu, from their haddock, chicken, fries, crab, etc - yet it all shares a similar oily, almost unclean taste. It lacks seasoning in general, so much so that my sister and I needed to season our meals when we got home, and even that didn't help fully. It also isn't cheap, which makes sense, it's seafood, but expensive prices for incredibly mediocre food simply isn't worth it. A majority of the food tastes the same here and is both unforgettably bland and memorably dissapointing at the same time. Wouldn't recommend if you're looking for unique flavor or good prices.

    Grassfields reminded me, in a nostalgic way, of a restaurant at which I worked in my college years…read more The decor, the ambiance, the wine list, the service, and the menu items, all contributed toward that. I suppose "rustic" would be a good term to describe the interior. The menu offers steaks at prices you'd have a difficult time finding elsewhere in the area, plus chicken, lamb, veal, and interesting specials. Our large group was seated over two tables, which worked well for us in terms of quality conversation among interested folks. Service was quick, friendly, and professional, and all our dinners came out at the same time. We ordered a few appetizers. They were good but a little inconsistent. The mozzarella sticks, homemade, were a little unconventional, with a panko-mozzarella crust. Better, in my opinion, were the buffalo chicken tenders. I mis-read the description of my Argentine Bowl, thinking it was more of a salad. It was steak tips, avocado, tomatoes, and black beans over rice, quite tasty. The person sitting next to me ordered a dinner special the lamb shank osso bucco. While the meat was delicious and tender, it could have had even more seasoning on it, and there was an unexpected amount of fat on the shank. Parking is a little awkward given the shape of the shopping center, and the location of the restaurant. It was nice to see signs designating spaces closest to the restaurant reserved for their customers. This restaurant was the go-to restaurant for the family hosting the dinner event. I can understand why, and I wholeheartedly agree.
