I was really craving a hot lobster roll, so I searched online and came across this little hidden spot with great reviews. It’s tucked away in a nice, quiet area and has a cozy feel. I ordered two hot lobster rolls for me and my husband—$35 each and came with fries. Our son had the chicken tenders and fries.
I also ordered a cup of clam chowder, but was disappointed to see them warming it up in the microwave. That kind of took away from the “fresh seafood” experience I was hoping for.
Unfortunately, the lobster roll was way too salty, and I even found a hair in mine. I was going to say something, but my husband said to just leave it alone and decided we wouldn’t be back. The coleslaw was full of black pepper and really unpleasant.
One bright spot was their sweet little daughter who was helping clean up—she came over and kindly asked if we had any trash for her to throw out. My husband gave her a little tip—such a cutie and a hard worker.
Overall, it’s a nice location and has a lot of potential, but the food didn’t meet expectations at all.

My season-long quest to find outdoor roadside grills in Connecticut landed me today at The Ferry Grill & Chill.
Located in Rocky Hill on the Connecticut River, it is accessible by car and/or boat. The view is awesome, and the food is great. While I got the 8 ounce hamburger, I noted they have a 4 ounce burger for smaller appetites. My meal came to just over $18, but I am a big guy with a big appetite. You can spend less and not leave hungry.
As you will see in the photo, the burger is quite large, and the fries are plentiful. All very delicious. In fact, this may be the best burger I have found yet!
The service is quick and friendly. I will definitely be returning!

Delicious food. First time I visited I got a grilled chicken sandwich. A super basic item but they made it perfectly! Second time we got hot lobster rolls. Absolutely delicious. Market price was alarming at $35 a piece, but it was truly so tasty. I love their fries too!
The views are lovely! A bit more maintenance on the picnic tables would be nice, but the service and food were excellent at both of my recent visits.

Super friendly people and food was great! Kind of like a food truck that stays in one location! Loved the location as it was so relaxing there! Loved the chicken sandwich and fries! My husband and I shared the sandwich and it was huge! Took shrimp back to the house for my son in law and he said it was great too!

My best meal ever in Connecticut! I wanted something different and local and the ferry grill and chill is the perfect place! Was was fast and friendly. The shrimp po boy was stuffed with perfectly prepared shrimp, fresh lettuce and a delicious sauce. Lobster bisque was amazing !

The food was good, that I can’t take away. The price however was a sticker shocker – 35 bucks for lobster Mac and cheese, 10 bucks for not a lot of lobster bisque just seems like a lot, regardless of the location/experience. I think the menus should have a chalk board next to it listing the prices for items noted as market price. Good experience, great food but definitely to pricy for the quantity.

Jumbo scallops were actually 7 small, overcooked scallops on a bed of nicely grilled veggies. Fries were on the oily side. My husband enjoyed the grilled shrimp. Nice location. Glad we tried it but, most likely will not be back.

I took my parents and niece here when they visited and I don’t know what was better: the food, the view, or the excellent service. I had the lobster mac n cheese (see pic), which was a great portion size and had HUGE chunks of lobster meat. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for a place to eat delicious food outside by the water!

$35 for absolutely the smallest lobster roll I have every gotten.

We ordered the tuna melt, grilled chicken sandwich, and grilled cheese for our daughter. The food was tasty, fresh, and came out quickly. The portions were very satisfying for the price range. Great customer service too. We’ll be back!
