Reviews for Yankee Lobster in Boston, MA
Come here for a great lobster roll. Lobster was fresh and sweet. We were greeted immediately and the line moved quickly. It was... a chilly day and they had heaters on in the patio area. Customer service was on point. Would recommend this establishment. Read more
I had: fried calamari - nicely fried and very tender. Not the rubbery and tasteless kind you find at many places fried clam... strips - nicely fried, crispy, and delicious. fried clams - nicely fried and very creamy on the inside. I would skip them thoughnext time since they were MP ($33). I'd rather have an order of the fried oysters and fried clam strips for the sameprice. fried oysters - nicely fried, creamy and briny. Everything was extremely fresh, portions are large and as close toperfection as I should expect from takeout. Order online or by phone to skip the long line. I wish it was more clear that youcan skip the line if you've already ordered There are some shaded stone benches across the street. I chose the benches overtheir outside seating area. Their outside seating area is in the sun and very crowded. Read more
Interesting restaurant with both outdoor and indoor sitting. Fast paced environment. I had a traditional lobster roll and fried... Calamari. The food tasted fresh. The staff was good. The lobster roll is $40 and its comparable among other restaurants in thearea. The roll is filling. Read more
I took a lobster roll tour through the coastal New England states all the way up to Maine. Every place I hit were surprisingly... awesome. This, however, is the only place I’m giving solid 5 stars for their exceptional lobster rolls. Excellent clam chowderand crab cakes, free parking certainly helped. But it’s the lobster rolls that will bring me back here again at some point???? Read more
This is a little gem spot we discovered by accident. Staff here is super friendly. Food was very yummy. We ordered take out and... food still taste good. We ate the raw oyster there because they said for safety issues they don't want anyone getting sick socan't be to go. It makes sense, makes us feel like they care. Lobster bisque and clam chowder was super creamy with large chunksof lobster n clams. Fried oyster was soo good and their traditional Lobster rolls was one of the best lobster rolls we had inBoston. The shrimp taco was good too but definitely the lobster roll. I regret not going back before I left Boston but willdefinitely go back if we go to Boston. Read more
I got the traditional lobster roll and it was more than I've hoped. My lobster roll was loaded with huge chunks of lobster mixed... in a creamy mayonnaise with herbs. I'm very impressed by the sheer amount of lobster I was given -- very well worth theprice! The fries were really good too. Read more
It was the first time we visited there. We ordered shrimp and fish. I also ordered chowder soup. Our orders got prepared so... soon. It was very well cooked. The fish was very crispy and it was perfect with the sauce and the little salty French fries. Thebest thing about it was you really could feel the fresh sea food. I love to go back there again.

Great tasting lobster rolls! The chowder and bisque were also very good! Well priced for lobster market price. The food was... served fast, and there wasn't much of a wait ordering or waiting for our food. Would highly recommend ordering the butterlobster roll. Read more
