2025 Best Lobster Roll, Casual
James Hook & Co.
For a bite that never fails to deliver, walk past the live lobsters to order your roll at this no-frills, counter-service icon on the waterfront. A simple hot-dog bun cradles a generous pile of meat, and we appreciate the extra cup of melted butter if you go the mayo-less route.
