    Loved it!!! Expensive but for a one time thing while visiting it's a must do. In a neighborhood which was odd, still fun outdoor picnic vibe. Definitely one can eat a sandwich on their own because you will not want to share once you taste! Totally enjoyed experience!

    Really good lobster roll and chowder! Good service. Pretty pricey for what you get, but good nonetheless!

    Where do I start? Food: A+; the sandwich was fantastic. Unreal. Mind-numbingly good. It's basic but basic is what you want. No, basic is what you need. Lobster was fresh. Bread was toasted well. Lightly seasoned with mayo(?). Look folks: this is what you need in your life. Right now. Who cares about anything else? You can sit inside or outside. Sit outside. Share a table with a stranger. Talk crap about New York, all the traffic in Boston, and how it takes an Uber like 10-45 minutes to show up. Eat here. Seriously, you need this.

    The place is a crossover fish market (the scallops looked exquisite but were market items) and lobster pot right smack in the middle of Cambridge. The place is counter service for both dining and market options. My wife had a lobster sandwich (not actually the traditional roll on a bun) so she didn't have to do any work (~$32). I had a whole "chicken" (maybe a pound) lobster ($~20) so I did have to work. Both were fresh lobster at its best. I might have liked a slightly larger lobster myself but that wasn't an option. The weather was hot so sitting out on a picnic table under an umbrella was perfect. There is a small shed to eat in on rainy days. Just what we were looking for as we neared the end of a New England vacation.
