Very long line but you receive your roll very fast, I don’t think the 38 dollar lobster roll is worth it even though it is a decent portion. I think the clam chowder is a must have and the scallops cake was unexpectedly

It’s delicious. Tourists fill up the place, but the hype is deserved. That lobster was succulent!

The best lobster roll ever, the crab cake was awesome too, washed down with a lager! Quick and pleasant service. A must do when in Boston.

I recently tried the lobster butter roll at James Hook and Co. in Boston and I was extremely satisfied with both the food and the service. The roll was packed with delicious lobster meat and the butter added a rich and indulgent flavor. The roll itself was perfectly toasted, adding a nice crunch to each bite.I also had the crab cake, and it was outstanding. The crab meat was plentiful and there were very few fillers, which allowed the natural sweetness and delicate texture of the crab to shine through. The crab cake was fried to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a moist and flavorful interior.One thing that stood out to me was the fast service. Despite the popularity of the restaurant, my order was prepared and served in a timely manner. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that I had a great dining experience.Overall, I highly recommend James Hook and Co. for their lobster butter roll and crab cake. The quality of the food, coupled with the fast and friendly service, make it a fantastic dining option.

If the lobster roll were to come with lemon and chives, this could be much better. Instead, it just tasted like lobster and bread. Coleslaw had some wilted bits in it that led to some not so pleasant texture.

Delicious! Chowder has lots of clams a s large buttered lobster roll has lots of lobster in it. Perfect pit stop after tea party museum to aquarium.

This Boston classic is the go-to spot for delicious lobster rolls, highly praised across multiple websites. I tried the cold one with mayo and was great. It's a cozy spot with only a few indoor tables, but they also offer outdoor seating with heating available —just be mindful of the weather. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they accept credit cards.
Very good lobster roll, loaded with lobster! I loved the crab cake too:)

I’m not sure who the lady is that answered the phone, but I didn’t appreciate being hung up on when I asked about the pricing. Maybe wait to hear my follow up question…People just don’t understand customer service, or generally just suck. Must be nice to have a brand and good real estate… It will start to dwindle in time with this service.

Had a quick stop here for lunch, and it was a pretty decent experience. It’s a trailer sitting in a parking lot, but once you get inside you feel like you’re in this small cozy restaurant/small seafood market. The service was ok, the guy behind the counter seemed like he had somewhere else to be, but did his job none the less. The food came out in a timely manner , and tasted pretty good. Clam chowder have it once because it’s all the same for the most part. The lobster roll was packed full of meat , and hit the spot with the warm butter. It’s just one of those places you have a nice experience, but never feel the need to go back to…
