Where is the best, non-wallet busting lobster roll in
Boston? We have put our knowledge and
taste buds to the test here at helloBostonBlog to bring you the two best yet
affordable spots to enjoy a lobster roll.
First we must end the debate and say there is only one true
style of lobster roll and that is the “Connecticut style”. This consists of warm lobster meat on a
toasted bun with a touch of melted butter on top. Some may argue that a “Maine style” roll is
better but that’s just plain hogswallow.
With that out of the way our winners for the best, yet
affordable, lobster rolls in Boston are Yankee Lobster Company and James Hook and
Co. Both of these establishments are
bare bones, no nonsense eateries located in the Sea Port district. They source their own lobster so you know it’s
fresh and cuts out the middle person.
Yankee Lobster Company is conveniently located next to the
Harpoon Brewery at 300 Northern Ave, Boston, MA. The inside is small and quaint consisting of
about 12 tables. There is also an outdoor
eating space for the warmer months.
There are a slew of delicious seafood options here but focusing in on
the Lobster Roll it will set you back $23.
One thing to note is that it gets pretty busy around meal time (Lunch or
Dinner) so plan for a wait. On a
positive note, if the line is too long head to Harpoon for a pint and check
back after. 
James Hook and Co. is located on the dividing line between
Fort Hill and Seaport districts. It is
fittingly situated on the water and offers only outdoor seating. The delicious food is ordered and prepared in
an unassuming permanent, pre-fabricated structure. The lobster roll here will set you back $20
and oh so worth it. This location can
have a line too but less likely than at Yankee Lobster Company.
Enjoy your lobster and comment below with your experience or
which you like better.
