Hands down the best lobster roll in the Bay Area. Of the three types of lobster rolls, stick with the wildly fresh and tender naked version, which comes with butter and lemon on the side. Read more

The lobster rolls here are delicious. This might be sacrilege but even bigger and better than most in New England. Chowder is good too but very heavy! The outdoor tables are great on a nice day.

Delicious! Get the lobster roll - we preferred them dressed - and sit at a table outside in the sun. The homemade chips were also really good. We'll be back for fresh crab and lobster by the pound!

Hidden gem 5 minutes from SFO. Grab a lobster roll and a seat on the picnic tables outside. Delicious and chill, can’t believe just found out about this place!

The seasonal roll right now is amazing. Sweet lobster meat topped with creamy avocado and finely chopped bacon. All on top of that beautifully toasted roll

Best for your buck in order-1lb lobster, lobster roll, lobster tacos (not worth it even during "hh", best to go w $3 shrimp tacos). Tbh, I preferred the crab nachos over the lobster :x

Everything is amazing! Lobster soup is creamy and flavorful. Crab nachos and the homemade potato chips were to die for (esp with a little of that seasoning salt that's kept on the table)

A lot of lobster, little mayonnaise, crispy, thick-cut chips and fresh coleslaw with cranberries.

This restaurant had been serving good food and providing outstanding service for longer than I can remember. Location is convenient, unconventional and provides a lovely view of the city.

Sooo. The lobster rolls are good. The steamed lobsters are too much work. The lobster Mac n cheese is good but has bacon in it. The corn lobster chowder is delicious. More like a bisque really.

Came back for the lobster claws (4) and a bottle of Ballast Point Grapefruit sculpin. Just as good as the first time and only $10 during happy hour (3-6)
Sonja BoiceJuly 14, 2018
All the tacos are awesome! Go for happy hour before 6 and save money! The lobster corn chowder is yummy! I also loved the craft Root beer they offered.

NELC supplies fresh seafood to local restaurants, hotels & grocery stores, and now includes an eatery where you can sample lobster claws, rolls & platters, as well as crab nachos, salad & sandwiches.

Lobster roll and lobster chowder combo! One of the cheapest places to get good quality lobster in the Bay Area.
Gene SwansonApril 22, 2020
I went here for lunch with my grandparents. What a lovely place! The place is decorated nicely and the staff was very chatty and attentive. I will visit them again!
Anita RossApril 8, 2020
I can't say enough positive about this restaurant. All of their staff were very outstanding. Their hospitality and kindness devotion to their profession is very laudable and commendable.

Wanting to go on the lighter side? Get the Mexi Shrimp Cocktail!! 5-6 large prawns Ina great spicy cocktail sauce it's almost like gazpacho!
Adena BrenowitzNovember 25, 2018
Great place to get live lobsters and the price is reasonable compared to other places in SF.

Great lobster rolls with big chunks of lobster! I had the seasonal, with avocado & bacon bits. Yum! Seafood gumbo is tasty, too.
LilyJune 24, 2015
Try their lobster roll here--it's amazing! They also sell live lobsters and other seafood here too if you'd prefer a night in at home.

Best lobster rolls on the peninsula, I like them dressed, a cup of the lobster chowder, and ya jus gotta have half a dozen oysters on the half shell to start it all off.
Charlene NaughtonMay 29, 2021
COVID precautions are an A+ here! Sit at a table, scan the QR code, and the food comes right to your table! There are even heat lamps to keep you warm in the Peninsula fog!

Get the lobster special #1 and add the lobster chowder — best $30 you can spend on seafood in the area
Bre HammondSeptember 22, 2017
East meets West Salad which is crab and lobster. The lobster corn chowder is excellent
Greg SweattJuly 13, 2018
This is a great place to eat hidden in a location with few good restaurants. If you love lobster, a must.
Taylor LeeSeptember 21, 2018
Try the Lobster Roll and the Lobster Corn Chowder! It is definitely worth the trip.
Bob HendersonAugust 6, 2015
I luv the Mexi Shrimp Cocktail. Very good shrimps. Cocktail sauce super. With bits of avocado & cilantro & spicy tasting sauce
Amy CallawayAugust 28, 2014
Amazingly delicious food and nice, relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend for seafood goers.
Tim DengAugust 11, 2017
Consistently rated as one of the best places for lobster rolls in he country but to be honest, it was just okay.
ElisaSeptember 19, 2023
Agreed with others, portion is small, maybe it shrank over the years. Avocado as a topping is very Californian but it drowns out the lobster taste.
JoannaJune 30, 2014
First time here, grabbed the Short on Ca$h special - $17.95 for a 1 lb lobster, slaw, chips and a roll. Lobster meat was DIVINE.
erespacDecember 4, 2015
The lobster corn chowder is very memorable. Small salad is not really small, and the lobster platter is nicely price. Fresh food great prices

The whole crab is good but cold. Lobster rolls don’t compare to east coast. Raw foods are the best. Overall food is just okay but the outside tables and ambience are great
Carl TydingcoJuly 26, 2016
Best lobster roll I've found on the west coast. The crab roll was ok
Kevin ChangAugust 10, 2014
Dressed lobster roll is pretty good. Love their bread. Ginger beer is really nice and strong.
Nattaporn PornpithayalertNovember 20, 2017
BEST lobster and chowder and crab and everything SERIOUSLY! Never been disappointed by this place.
Susan AptekarJune 8, 2023
I enjoyed the lobster but it was smaller than advertised and I had to keep asking for the bib and the nut cracker. Also, it was not a good deal for the price.
Tony YangDecember 27, 2014
My wife had a lobster while I had two tails. She mentioned that the meat of the tails was not as tight as that of the lobster. Guess the lobster was fresh but the tails were not.

New England Lobster Market & Eatery 5 minutes drive to the east of James Warren Dental

Hate seafood? The hot dog roll is 👌. Sneak some cheese on it for another $1

lobster rolls are amazing. So is their chowder.

Dressed lobster roll was great! Also try the 1lb lobster special, with a bottle of beer ofc :)
Fran SuApril 4, 2016
Very fresh lobster. Best lobster roll I got outside of Maine.
Go Find AliceSeptember 5, 2016
Slightly overpriced. But come on in for fresh lobster and crab! Oysters available too
Shawn HimeOctober 14, 2016
We ordered the crab and then we were told they were out. I ordered the lobster roll instead. It was a really good lobster roll but I'm not convinced it was worth $22. Pretty expensive for a sandwich.
Luigi BrambillaAugust 29, 2015
Dressed lobster roll and a Sam Adams. Mandatory pit stop if you fly out of SFO!

Always get the lobster roll and corn chowder combo before taking the Westin airport shuttle to SFO.
