This is only for Middlefield Rd location: Host/Waiter/Busboy all the same person. He was super friendly. Food was terrible. Crab on crab Louie salad looked grey and tasted canned. Inedible . Other locatIon on Woodside is great. Is it even the same owner? Won't be back.

Alsways takes extra 40 minutes for the grubhub/Uber eats orders to be prepared. You arrive there and you find that order is delayed due to various reasons. Every time!!

Stopped by the old port for some drinks and maybe some apps. The cashier was our waitress and our bartender and our food runner. She kind of smelled like she's been drinking and at least enjoying happy hour herself. Drinks were not all that great they had a happy hour special. To be honest they were standard drinks anyone could make at home. Would I go back? No ma'm I would rather spend my money at boiling crab.

Worst place ever and racist too! I would love how you are going to explain the reason for accusing someone of stealing something just because he doesn't understand English... Disgusting!!!!!! My Dad doesn't deserve this humiliation...

The food was delicious! The waitress was super nice and even brought out a bowl of water for our border collie.

Drove 1.10 hours to try this place out. I saw they had many other location but decided on this one due to it being a good downtown location to walk around after food coma. I ordered the Maine lobster roll with 2 sides (Mac and cheese/fries) I actually wanted to substitute the sides with the chowder since I was so curious but they would not allow it. Maybe this location was a hit and Miss because I thought It was just okay and like others have mentioned that it's a bit pricey and on the tiny side (5'in) I don't mind the small portion but I don't think I'd pay $36+ for it, tbh. Maybe $25 but that's it. I came during happy hour so it was fantastic price during this time and the drinks were pretty heavy pours so that was nice. My server was very friendly and constantly checked up on me especially when I was the only person sitting outside in the patio. Most people tend to forget about me whenever I choose to sit outside, but my server did a great job at explaining the menu and making sure I had everything I needed for my meal so it was hard to not enjoy this place.

I've gone to the one on 900 Middlefield Rd., RWC. Food is great and Adrian provides awesome service!!!

Each time we come here, they seem to put less and less lobster meat in the rolls. Paying $37 for one roll with such little meat isn’t worth it.

the food here is put together very poorly. old port used to be the spot for lobster sandwiches but maybe their expansion onto franchising ruined their quality. I'll not be coming back to any location ever.

Come here if you want to be disappointed and leave with a lighter wallet.The portions of lobster were so dismal I had to find leftovers using a toothpick.The bun was laughable; even Sara Lee would have cried.The lobster was cold and soggy; clearly frozen minutes before.The fries tasted exactly the same as the giant bag I buy at Costco and make in my air fryer.Please save yourself and let me be the last person to ever eat at this wretched place.

For Uber Eats food it was pretty good. The sandwich is small so thank god it came with fries to make the meal a little more filling. I wish they would have given more pickles or something acidic to cut through all the fat. The lobster wasn't very dressed or flavorful tbh. The clam chowder was thick and tasty. I preferred it without the crackers since it was so thick and filing.

I've eaten at the woodside location many times and it's always excellent. This order came from the Middlefield location and it was so bad I ended up getting a refund. Maybe they are cutting costs or just don't care today. The French fries were cold. The blueberry cobbler was practically frozen. The clam chowder was more like runny potato soup without much clam. The lobster roll was 5" and inside was mostly crab or fake crab with a few small bits of lobster added. 2 bites and only bread was left. Whatever is wrong with these people and this franchise, I hope they fix it.

Not as good as the older locations. Nothing special about the food. Can't even count it as a relatively pricy treat. Server was nice enough but dress was too casual. Think too tight biker shorts worn around the house with open toe fuzzy leopard print slippers. Not too sure about the combined business of Indian Pizza and a Lobster Shack. Don't want to sound like that person, but I don't want the smell of relatively overpowering Indian spices when I'm in the mood for Lobster rolls. Maybe the Indian Pizza is good. Kind of bummed, because we got our kids excited about the food from here only to see them disappointed. Lastly, not sure why but there were a decent amount of ants crawling around the place. We moved from our initial table but it wasn't enough to escape them.

One of our favorite ❤ spots. We always order the Chef Louie salad and mugs of their delicious clam chowder.

Prices have gotten expensive but the food quality will fill you up.
