So gross. Started with barely luck warm watery clam chowder Overpriced. Lobster roll not on proper New England roll. No butter. Over cooked lobster tasted OLD. Hoping I do not get sick. Right now not feeling great. 4 dollars more or shoestring onion rings. The coleslaw was good Drove by 1000 times. Gave it a try. Never again. Not sure how this place has ever stayed in business?? read more

I'm a lobster roll lover and enjoy all styles of lobster rolls. We were starving and hadn't eaten anything yet so we decided to check this place out, we went with one CT style roll and one Maine Style roll so they we could try them both out. To the eye the Maine style was more visually pleasing but the CT style had more flavor. I will say they were both tasty and had a nice amount of lobster in them. However they were not the best lobster rolls I've ever had but also not the worst. They both came with a side of fries which was nice. read more

Wasn't bad from what I remembered. But it did take me awhile to eat it so I'll have to try it fresh to see what it's working with. One thing I do know is the tartar sauce was disgusting. read more

Gluten Free Options! This place is amazing. They had several options for me including salmon. I did a gluten free lobster roll. In other words, lobster meat in a dish with butter to dip. It was awesome. read more

Great fried clams and seasoned fries. Quick service. Nice variety of seafood items. I'll be back to try the lobster roll!

Doesn't look like much from the outside or inside but let me tell you, this place is absolutely amazing. The shrimp cocktail was cold and fresh, the lobster bisque had huge chunks of lobster and was full of flavor, but the lobster roll was something else. The bun was toasted to perfection and the lobster was smothered in the perfect amount of butter. It was such a delight eating here. I highly highly recommend this place, it won't disappoint you. read more

Winter Order: Whole Belly Clam dinner $28!! That's $7 more than the winter price at seafood restaurants on Boston Post Road in Westbrook/Madison. Price is not a factor for me if the food is as expected. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as at the shore but unfortunately it was the second worst whole belly clams that I've ever had. One time, at a different restaurant they were not even edible, all grit/sand. The portion was not large enough for $28. I'm happy about that as I barely wanted to eat them. The black gross part was WAY too noticeable. Good clams aren't half black bellies! I could eat them though so that's something. The tartar wasn't good tartar and their was a strange overpowering flavor to the Cole slaw. I'm still happy I tried it since it could have been a home run. The only thing I had to lose was the money which was $28 to learn a valuable lesson... I will NEVER GO BACK. (I only eat whole belly clams so I have no reason to try anything else there). The place is adorable though. Very nice inside. I was surprised. It looked divey outside but I'm actually it's a good looking interior - if you want to order something else. read more

Did not stay to eat, went to buy fish to take home. Extremely limited selection and low stock. Wanted $7.49 a pound for mussels when they are $2.50 a pound at Stews just down the street. read more

Clam chowder was pretty good. not many clams but tasty. will return to try the fried clams.

First time here tonight and so happy I tried this place! My all time favorite is a good warm, buttery lobster roll! Theirs was very delicious and the fries were good too! My hubby ordered the combo fried seafood platter. I tried the fried clams which were pretty good! I also liked the coleslaw, it has a pickle taste to it as it was seasoned with dill..different but good! The staff was very nice and our food came out quick especially because they were pretty busy! We'll definitely be back! read more

Nice little place to grab delicious seafood. There is seating inside or tables outside. It is a quaint place with prompt service. I sat outside and the waitress bought me my food. I would definitely recommend to stop in. The soup and lobster roll were hot and fresh. read more

The food was incredible! It came out so quickly and was amazing. This is the place to go if you are wanting an authentic Connecticut hot roll! The staff here is so kind and friendly and they really treat you like family. It was the best service ever! read more

Delicious and easy to order! I stopped in the Blue Lobster this afternoon and was amazed by it's cuteness. The outdoor seating area is perfect for the summer and there are cute string lights which makes the area extra adorable. Not only do they have outdoor seating, but they also have indoor seating and to-go options available, and being able to order online or in person. The waitresses were friendly and knew the menu well to suggest different items. The food itself was also pretty delicious. The lobster roll and fries were everything I was craving and the lobster roll was not missing butter! It was the perfect lobster roll with a good amount of lobster meat. The Crab Rangoon was just okay, but I still scant wait to go back and try more of the menu. read more

I was in the area on business and passed this restaurant. It looks like a typical Sea Food Shack that you might find in the Florida Keys. So I circled back, but Unfortunately the look is where it ends. This is a combination seafood market and restaurant. Quite small inside with just a few tables. Only one other table was occupied. After looking over the menu I decidedly that I would have a couple of apps so I could have a couple of different items. First a cup of their Lobster Bisque. Sorry but if was going to return I wouldn't order again. Hard pressed to find any Lobster in it. Next I had their crab cake and seafood stuffed mushrooms. The crab cake was passable but the seafood stuffed mushrooms (2) seemed to lack seafood, only had stuffing in a mushroom. In a restaurant like this you'd expect to have fresh seafood. Well it seems like everything is pre-made and microwaved. I feel that at best one star is more than they deserve but after a mix up on my order, I asked about the seafood stuffed clams but didn't order them, the waitress brought them anyway. Also microwaved. When I explained that I really didn't order them she apologized and took them off the bill but sent them home with me. She said they would only throw them out anyway. I took them but I'm thinking I'll end up throwing them out. Thus the two stars. I was really looking forward to some fresh seafood for lunch but it was not to be. Very unfortunate because I think this could be a real go to place. Sorry but my first time there is my last. read more

I'd been meaning to check this place out for a while, so when a perfect early summer night came along I stopped in. Wow did it blow my mind!! First off, super friendly and wonderful service. That alone sold me from the moment I walked in. I went with a hot lobster roll, tots, and their Rhode Island clam chowder. Came out SO fast and seriously was the best I have ever had!! I loved how different and fresh the chowder was, and the lobster roll....oh my....just mindblowing. Very reasonably priced and perfect portion size. I typically don't eat the roll when I get a lobster roll, but this one was so perfect and complimentary I inhaled it. The slaw also was absolutely out of this world and I could eat it every single day. What a hidden gem!! Can't wait to go back!! read more

Very disappointed. This was our second time ordering from them. The quart of Rhode Island clam chowder was almost all celery, way too much. Hardly any clams in it at all. The potatoes were rubbery, almost like canned potatoes. The double lobster roll had less lobster in it than a regular lobster roll elsewhere. We really want to support our local restaurants but we just can't with this quality. Hopefully things get corrected there. read more

Excellent and hot, quick service for take out and well packaged for take out, they even ventilated the packaging of hot food so they did not get soggy. I will return to this restaurant soon. read more

Don't know what you people are whining about. I ordered the clam strips and the portion was HUGE. Pretty close to the best clam strips I've had in CT, and bordering on FL tasty. Fries were hot and delicious, and the coleslaw is home made, not canned. My only gripe is that I needed more tartar sauce. I'll ask for extra next time I'm here. And there definitely will be a next time. read more

One of the best lobster rolls I ever had and also it was the jumbo roll which it just made it better. My wife had the fried shrimp which were lightly bread and French fries were Crispy. Also the waitress provided great service and even the cook waved good bye to us as we left. This is my new #1 spot when I'm in the mood for lobster. read more

I paid $14.99 for a lobster roll and fries and guess what? The star of the meal were the freakin' fries. In comparasion to Lenny and Joe's, the lobster roll had less lobster meat, less butter, and it wasn't as hot as I wanted it to be. The lady handling our order was nice, but did not honor the 10% coupon I had on my smartphone like she promised. She preferred if coupons were printed. Like Jason M. I felt gypped on the drinks, I felt that my drinks had too much ice and my lemonade was very watered down. Jason M.'s fried calamari lunch was a lot cheaper than my lunch, but a lot better. If you are at The Blue Lobster, I would forgo the lobster roll and get a fried basket instead. read more

The Blue Lobster - Lobster Roll with fries - $14.99. Funny to say, but fries were better than the lobster roll. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Berlin, Connecticut

Apparently you only get properly cooked food when the owner knows your coming... Returned this past week and got 3 lobster rolls that were way overcooked and rubbery. Calamari was good and crispy, bisque was top notch again, and chowder was still thin. Fried scallops were way underwhelming and the last 3 I ate had a weird sour flavor. $23 for the basket with fries and buyers remorse was kicking in before I even left through the door. I'm really torn on the place, when they put in the effort to cook it's really good, but when they get lazy, the food is disgusting. It sad that consistency is not their strong point. I think this will be my last $140 mistake... read more

Don't order there fisherman's platter comes in small portions with barely any fries. There prices are to high for portions. Don't waste your money read more

Great place, first time in, ordered stuffed clams and lobster. Wanted a 2lb but they are out, on the spot waitress gave me option of (2) 1 1/4lb lobsters for same price, I gladly took it! Lobsters came with choice of chowder, went Manhattan style clam, nothing special, mabye try something else. Actuall Lobsters were clearly bigger that 1 1/4, I grew up on lobster (live in nh on great bay) more like 1 1/2, these were cold water Maine, see picture all else was great, simple place, not a massive menu but if you want great traditional New England fare this is a nice spot read more

Ordered a CT lobster roll and lobster nuggets. The lobster in the roll was cooked perfectly and delicious but consisted of pretty small pieces. It was on a non toasted potato roll that was soggy. The drawn butter on the side had a gel like consistency i assume from not being hot enough. I was disappointed to find out that the lobster nuggets were not deep fried pieces of lobster. They were just baked crab cakes... Perhaps some shredded lobster in some seafood stuffing but i couldn't tell. Staff inside were not wearing masks but the person who brought the food out was. It also wasn't a good look to have an employee chain smoking cigs at the front door. She came out twice in like 20 minutes. read more

So I've been a customer for years now. Usually grabbed a lobster roll and there pretty good. Haven't been there in a while but today I went and grabbed a stuffed lobster tail, stuffed clams, and a lobster bisque. Here's some constructive criticism for the owner. You can tell the stuffing is not fresh, the butter had been previously refrigerated/frozen and appeared lumpy, the lobster bisque did not appear fresh as well. If you want your customers to return you will need to sit down and taste your food that is coming out of your kitchen. Must be FRESH, FRESH, FRESH!! The food will taste better and you will have a better chance of customers returning and putting out a good review. I was very disappointed today and most likely will not eat anything other than a lobster roll If I decide to return. read more

Ordered curbside pickup. Took a while for them to amswer the phone but it was well worth trying. WhenI got there ,called and they brought out the food. Girl who owns it or runs iit said we were the last order because they don't freeze anything and only order fresh. Ordered a cup of NE clam chowder and a cup of lobster bisque. Both were delicious and had plenty of clams and lobster meat. Ordered a fish and chips platter and a fried oyster platter. I like that the fries came in a separate container. Tons of fish and oysters. Both were excellent. Better then I expected. Definitely will be going back whenever the urge for fried seafood hits. read more

Passed by this place numerous times, finally stopped in today for dinner. Blue Lobster is a good place to satisfy seafood cravings. They offer your usually suspects such as calamaris, fish n chips lobster rolls etc. For starter I had the jalapeño poppers not bad at all. For main entree, I ordered the pan seared ahi tuna which in my opinion was seared to perfection (ate the whole thing). My friend had the fish n chips I tried some myself was pretty good as well. The place was pretty busy therefore my soda was not refill as quickly as I wanted but it is understandable. Overall I would recommend Blue Lobster for seafood lovers on a casual night out. read more

Kinda like going to one of those shoreline seafood places where you get some whole belly's and fries ( never cheap) and you watch the ocean and the seagulls for awhile before you go home. Except here you watch an endless stream of noisy cars go up and down the Berlin turnpike. The advantage of this scenic tradeoff is NOT having to drive down to the shore for your lobster roll ( no, its not blue), you can get it NOW! And you're not stuck with one of those low budget, mayonnaise based, THAT AINT A LOBSTER ROLL, version of a lobster roll, ( though you can get that if you're an ALIEN). They have the ' dunk it in liquefied butter on a toasty roll' rendition! Yah, just lobster in the roll, not some kinda 'corrupted by mayo, why oh why would somebody do that', kinda thing. I liked the creamy New England chowder, on the sweet side, not like they used Coffee Mate or something sweet, but you know what I mean. I got some clams in mine, the wife said she didn't. I didn't care if there was a clam in there or not, it was tasty! Somebody stated ' worst fried seafood they ever had'. They must not get out much. This place is pretty good. read more

Out to grab a quick dinner before grabbing our 4th row seats at the CT Whale game! I think I've driven by this place a hundred times and always wondered about it, but never really thought to have dinner here until my sister's ex-boyfriend mentioned how him and his father have had great meals here. A small, simple place with only a handful of tables, we were lucky to snag a booth right when we walked in. They have quite a nice menu of selection, all very reasonably priced, but I knew what I came here for--the hot buttered lobster roll. Tom got the same with a cup of their lobster bisque and we split french fries. The rolls were nicely stuffed with lobster meat, tossed in melted butter--in my opinion, it is the only way to have a lobster roll. The bisque was creamy and had a nice smooth, balanced flavor to it with a few actual lobster pieces in it. French fries were your average frozen variety and Tom said the coleslaw was pretty good. Overall, it was a nice, quick dinner. With prices like that, it'll make you feel like summer is right around the corner! read more

Drove past this place uncountable amount of times. Don't let the exterior fool you, this place is a diamond in the rough. Went for lunch, ordered ne chowder, clam strips, and lobster roll.

Best lobster bisque around. friendly staff... My go to lunch stop, give them a try you won't be disappointed

The place is small and cozy. We went here for dinner around 6:30 on a Thursday night, and we got a table right away. Our waitress was friendly and the service was great. Food: we ordered a clam chowder and calamari for app. Delicious! I ordered a lobster roll with chips. I should've ordered it with fries instead. More on that later. The lobster roll was okay. I have had better or maybe I just had too much expectation for lobster rolls in the NE area. My bf ordered their ahi tuna dinner and that was good. He liked it. But I have to say the fries was the winner of the night. OMG they were soooooo good. Overall we had a good experience there, but it's not my favorite place for seafood. read more

The woman today on Jul 11 anawering the phone clearly had a mwntal health crisis going on. She was extremely hostile towards me with a Grubhub order, she apparently HATES Grubhub (then why partner with them?) and my order was complete garbage, I am assuming because of her mental breakdown. If the owner or her sees this review, I would encourage her to call 211 or 1-800-HOPE-135 and get the treatment that she needs. read more
