It was full of huge chunks of meat - almost all claw - and was most certainly Maine lobster. It was on lettuce, with a little mayo and tiny chunks of celery. Served in a hot buttered and toasted long hotdog roll it was pretty dang tastee.... I mean, it was pretty sinful.

Confession is good for the soul, right?

That lobster roll was darn good... no joke.

D'Angelos has a pretty decent one for $9.99 and you can make it a Surf and Turf with a Steak and Cheese for $14.99

Red Hill Dari's can't be beat!

We've hit Sawyers a few times this year for lobster rolls and haven't been disappointed.

VtSteve · 07-19-2010, 09:54 PM

I've had many all over the place. I still think The Lobster Pound is the class of the lobster roll.

We "had" a great one on the water here in Vermont. This year, portions are way smaller, price is higher.

Give me chips and slaw and I'm happy.

Truthfully, I think most people latch onto a place they like and it become fantastic. I only love the food, surroundings are secondary. Sorry, but TLP is the best on all counts.

We like Sam and Rosie's the best but have not yet tried Kevin's. Actually went to several places here and tried the lobster rolls this year to see which was the best.

Just to make you all hungry and demonstrate what the perfect lobster roll (IMHO) looks like feast your eyes on this picture. Each year we attend a Lobster Bake in Boothbay, Maine. These rolls are made from 100% sweet, fresh Maine lobster. Best of all it's all you can eat! I won't admit to how many I ate last year as platter after platter came out. If a restaurant in the Lakes Region could duplicate this simple but delectable lobster roll I'd be a regular customer.

Waldo Peppers (now closed) came close but didn't contain Maine lobster (this is a double):

When is the Lobster Bake in BoothBay and how much does it cost? About how far would it be from Moultonborough?

Sorry, it's private.

Great looking lobster there Don. But the rolls are small, some are schrunched, and they don't look toasted

You give me an untoasted lobster roll and I'm not very impressed.

They are the perfect size on regular size hot dog rolls, the same size restaurants serve. You can eat as many as you want.

The taste and freshness of these lobster rolls is very impressive to me.

I sent the picture of the platter of Lobster Rolls to my wife at work. Now maybe we can GO OUT Tonight for a Bite.

Everyone's selling lobster rolls this summer, from $8.99 to $19.99, many of them delicious. The thing you need to inquire about is exactly how much lobster meat is in the sandwich. I've been asking and some have 4 oz, some 5 oz, some 6 oz and some have 8 oz of meat. Once you know that you can determine what kind of deal you are getting.

VtSteve · 07-20-2010, 09:16 PM

The real bottom line is how much do you like it? Think of a blind taste test. Believe it or not, our (shhhhh) bowling alley has them for $6.95. They really are pretty great.

chipj29 · 07-21-2010, 10:33 AM

Believe it or not, but the 99 actually has a decent lobster roll. Not the best I have ever had (that was at Waldos a few years ago), but it was pretty darn good. I also had one at the Airport Diner over by Manchester Airport. It was decent as well.

NHskier · 07-21-2010, 07:38 PM

We had lunch today at Sam & Rosie's in Center Harbor and each had the lobster roll. It was great - same as ITD described, with big hunks of claw. On toasted roll with lettuce and a bit of mayo.

BlackCatIslander · 07-21-2010, 10:11 PM

In this area they have the best lobster roll without question. We have tried others but none are as good.
