Not easy to locate, definitely a hidden gem for lobster sandwich. It absolutely worths the price. One lobster sandwich already stuffed me so much. I LOVE BOSTON LOBSTER!!!

Hidden in the residential area is the best lobster roll I have ever eaten! The weather was nice last weekend, so this lobster lover finally came to check out the lobster roll at this seafood shop. Lobster sandwich: It is obviously just ordinary bread, but it is fried until fragrant and then filled with thick fresh lobster meat. It only needs simple seasoning - a little mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and green onions to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the lobster. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy, and the cold lobster meat tastes fresh and chewy, not fishy at all, and basically uses the meat from the lobster body, unlike the lobsterroll in many restaurants that is cooked with tongs. It tasted so delicious, so I asked specifically, thinking that some magical sauce was added to the seasoning, but I didn't expect it to be that simple. wonderful! (The price is slightly more expensive now, $35 each.)After finishing one, I bought a second one and continued eating it in the evening.From now on, I will eat here probably once a week, it is very good! !I went and bought two more yesterday^ ^ Delicious!

The lobster is very fresh and delicious~ especially when dipped in butter, it goes straight to heaven. You can also order the soup! But it may be sold out, so you can go earlier!

Great tasting lobsters and lobster sandwiches. Best lobster bisque in the world--seriously. Seafood chowder also very good. We always go here for the lobster special, which is reasonably priced. Where else in Boston can you get 2 lobsters and a bowl of mussels for less than 50 bucks? This place rocks.

The portions of the lobster were well worth what I paid and it was fresh.
Years back, I had an out of town client I was bringing back to our office in HSq who spotted the name with a chuckle. "Only in the Republic of Cambridge would you have a fish shack packed into a 1940's gas station. Yeah," he went on, "they probably smoke the fish with cannabis. So, Cambridge." The next day, I had our receptionist order their lobster sandwiches for his meeting. He and I headed over to pick up lunch.His reaction when I pulled into the CROWDED parking area ... "You have got to be kidding!" Not knowing what we were having for lunch, he grumbled as we slipped into this TINY closet of a fish store - café. As he watched them grill up the last of the sandwiches his eyes grew to the size of limes. Yes, it took almost 12 minutes to negotiate a left turn out. YES, park down the street. You'll need the walk.The client, at the close of the meeting, requested a stop back there en route to the airport. Whereupon, he purchased two for his trip back to London. The first of many drive bys he has requested over the last 15 years. If it were not for his smart mouth, I'd still be driving by to get fish at Bread & Checkbook. Thanks to that cheeky Brit, Alive & Kickin has become our go to fish store. And yes, we love sitting under the make shift tin shack outside, reveling in our bliss watching the fools speed by.
Do you ever notice that seafood quality is inversely correlated to the quality of decor? If it’s a bare bones cafeteria, brown bag, it will be delicious. They say to get the lobster sandwich. I got the lobster sandwich. It was excellent. I didn’t want to rate the atmosphere because you come to Alive and Kicking to get great tasting seafood, not to stare at the art on the wall. Also, I can’t eat mayonnaise and they were really nice about it. They gave me a couple of lemons and with some of the hot sauce, it was a great meal.

This place has a truly kickass lobster sandwich! The store is mostly tanks, so you know they're fresh. Hole in the wall atmosphere with heated outdoor seating. Must try if in the area!
