Get in line to order, then find a table to sit down. They will bring the food to your table. We ordered the traditional lobster roll with fries ($41), the garden salad ($7) with added lobster meat ($24), and the fried calamari ($16). Quantities were more than adequate. The lobster roll was the largest we’ve head. The best part was the lobsters, they were fresh & plenty. The fried calamari was fresh & lightly fried perfectly. Everything was delicious, worth a repeat visit.

Easygoing Seaport spot that’s been around forever and even had its moment on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.
The clam chowder is the clear standout: thick, rich, and about as comforting as it gets. The lobster roll is generous and well done, though not quite city-best. The Bloody Mary is strong, spicy, and packed with extras, a great match for the seafood.
Service is friendly but light, somewhere between counter and table service. The setting is casual with indoor and outdoor seating and a relaxed harbor feel. You’ll probably like it for what it is: a solid, classic Boston seafood stop that hits the spot, even if it won’t change your life.

What an excellent place!! This is beyond 5 stars. The crobster (lobster and crab) was amazing with tons of fresh meat in a bun. It was not salty at all or mixed w mayo or aoli sauce so it was perfect naturally so you could appreciate the meat. It came w fries that I didn’t like – not real crispy, too thick and didn’t have good flavor for the potato. And the steamers were also fresh and lots of fun w butter. Indoor and outdoor seating and outdoor seating was really nice because they have heat lamps and it’s enclosed. It’s toasty for outdoor seating even when it’s 45 degrees F outside so very nice. I would eat that crobster daily!

It’s January, 2026.
32°F and getting colder as the low winter sun struggles to warm the streets of Boston under the geometric canopy of residential and commercial architecture that shadows Northern Ave in the Seaport District.
Nothing warms a Bostonian like a big cup of chowder….where better than
YANKEE LOBSTER
A seaport landmark for more years than I have been around.
Chowder is exactly as it should be. A few potatoes, cream, just the right amount of butter and lots of clams. It’s not cream chowder, it’s not herb chowder. It’s definitely not potato or onion chowder. It’s clam chowder. Perfect in its simplicity.
Fun music at a volume that offers audio privacy. Cleanest bathrooms ever. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Co-located with public parking just beside the building. Paid street parking as well.
Come for the Chowder, Lobster and Stuffed Quahogs.
Tell ‘em Jeff from MAHI Outfitters sent you!!
I love this place!!

My favorite of the three lobster roll places I tried in Boston this weekend.
I got the fried lobster and traditional butter roll. They both come with a very generous side of crispy fries. The fried lobster roll was the best. Very light batter with a bit of old bay dusting along with a side of butter to dip it in. Delicious. My wife liked the traditional roll more.

It is an intresting place. It looks like shack by the water, but serves fine restaurant quality food. We tried three types of lobsters. They were fantastic. Lobster bisque was outstanding. Very often chefs overload it with pepper. This one was perfect, not too salted, not really spicy.
We had a dinner and next day ordered take out for the road.

Ordered the crab cake sandwich and lobster bisque to go. The place is small inside and the music was too loud.
Crab cake was over cooked and dry but still edible with the sauce.
Too much French fries. Would’ve preferred just a plain baked potato instead.
Lobster bisque was a little salty and had mostly claw pieces. No flavor.
So disappointed .
Paid $32 . Save your money and try someplace else.
Nothing to write home about.

Always a must visit for me when I visit Boston! Amazing lobster rolls, I always either get the traditional or the hot buttered roll. You can’t go wrong either way. The lobster bisque also has a ton of delicious lobster meat and medium is a pretty decent sized portion for two to share.
Also tried a crab roll this time, very delicious as well. Tons of crab meat with a nice fresh mayo dressing!

It does not get any better than this! Lobster roll here is one of the best that l have ever had! ice cold biggest chunks of lobster meat mmmm mmmm! The fries were crispy and hot and the cole slaw was fresh and cold. One of my favorites in Boston. Lobster roll is a must!! In a city where clam chowder is huge here it was okay not my top choice…But that lobster roll has my mouth watering as we speak! 100% recommend!

Disappointing. I ordered the traditional lobster roll. The lobster was over cooked and chewy. The celery was cut too large and took away from the roll. The french fries were not seasoned and I’ve made better at home in the air fryer. For all the accolades they have on the website, it definitely did not live up to them. Best lobster roll is still at Parkers in Downers Grove, Illinois.
