Couldn't decide which lobster roll to try so I got the flight. It was a wise choice. Soooo good! All 3 we're delicious but the Heatwave was my favorite. The lobster was so fresh and perfectly. The toasted bread had the right amount of crust to. The chowder was delicious as well. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in CT.

Went to the Greenwich location but was closed for private party. So, ventured to this Fairfield location. A few stools were available for indoor dine-in, they had tables outside for outdoor dining also. I had the chicken fingers, Surf n' Turf Lobster Roll which was nicely full of skirt steak and warm lobster. The sandwich was juicy & succulent. Friend had the LBLT Lobster Roll and said it was very good. Nick, the server, was very friendly and personable. Great place to stop for lunch if you want a great warm or cold Lobster Roll.

One a scale of 1-10, this place gets buzz and ratings around 9 to 10 ... but my 7 rating would be generous. It's probably closer to a 6.8. Yes, Lobstercraft has been an ultra- trendy brand, and it's in a super-busy location. But it's overrated. Maybe the problem with getting high reviews is that you build up expectations. I arrived with plenty, and left 30 minutes later thinking I should've just just kept driving. (And that's coming from a major lobster roll aficionado. I truly wanted to like this place) In Lobstercraft's defense, the pricing is not insane for the heart of Fairfield County. But that's about as good as this review gets. Smallish lobster roll, more shards than chunks, too heavy on the seasonings and too light on the lobster. As another reviewer said, the roll is too prominent - in volume and in taste. The lobster itself was ... average. The butter was ... OK. But overall, there wasn't that "wow, this is FRESH!!" taste that a truly excellent lobster roll provides. Dead-Eye Dick's on Block adds some very tiny lobster shards to the butter during prep, and it makes such a difference. Ford's or Abbott's in Noank, Captain Scott's in New London or the Lobster Pound in Guilford easy outperform. Similarly, the clam chowder wasn't bad ... it just wasn't anything I'd go back for. Too heavy on the chowder, too light on the clams. So overall, I'd surely go back - if I had a good reason. But I can't add Lobstercraft to the list of places that deserve a "go out of your way" trip to get there.

So, I'm new to the area and am in search of the ultimate lobster roll and clam chowda! The clam chowder here is downright amazing. I dream of it once a day! Don't miss it. Get the flight of lobster rolls as you get a little more food. The lobster rolls were delicious. You serve yourself, so, no comments on service except they were always nice and helpful. Ambiance is not the order of the day as it's on the busy street, but, they are constructing something to make it more cozy. That'll help.

Loved the food, service, and the ambience of the spot! The lobster rolls were really good and so was the clam chowder. Service was very good as well. Would recommend this place.

Lobster rolls are good, albeit too pricey. I guess it reflects the price of real estate.Clam chowder is waaaay too salty. I feel like drinking condensed sea water.
I probably would not have stopped but remembered my son saying it was good. Actually, the lobster roll was loaded with ?—terrific. Not inexpensive but so worth it. Delicious!

Smallest lobster roll we've ever seen! And it wasn't even filled! All claw meat (and shells, thank you)What a disappointment. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I arrived at 7:49 and they refused to make anything since the kitchen closes at 7:45. Felt a bit like the movie Falling

Disappointed, after eating lobster in Maine and coming here I couldn’t believe the difference. The lobster rolls just look sad and have barely any lobster on them. There’s even no lettuce or salad that comes on the bun and the clam chowder is just poorly made. For the crazy price these guys charge I’d expect food that could rival other places and it just can’t. Staff was sort of nice and the atmosphere was as cute as you can get on the post road.
