It might take a few extra minutes because he cooks the lobster to order.
Or swing by Bart's and make your own! |

We just had a couple of Lobster Rolls from Harvest Market in Wolfeboro (the old Devylders) and they were as good as anything I've had around the lake. We paid $8.99 and I think they are regularly $9.99 (a Friday special I think). They were all lobster meat - no filling.

Confession:
Forgive me, O Loberster Roll Gods, for I have sinned. While at Friendly's the other night with the kiddos, I partook of a lobster roll with fries and coleslaw for $11.99 and liked it. A lot. It was full of huge chunks of meat - almost all claw - and was most certainly Maine lobster. It was on lettuce, with a little mayo and tiny chunks of celery. Served in a hot buttered and toasted long hotdog roll it was pretty dang tastee.... I mean, it was pretty sinful. Confession is good for the soul, right? That lobster roll was darn good... no joke. |

Although I have no personal experience, a certain member joined the forum last summer to simply preach about The Bob House's lobster roll. There was never one more perfect and better priced anywhere. It wasn't possible...maybe consider checking it out? Oh, I believe this member has experience everywhere else and everywhere else was subpar and way overpriced...

I have never had what I describe below but this would be NICE.
A very long hot dog roll grilled on both sides with about 4/10 to 1/2 pound of warm lobster dipped in drawn butter and inserted into the roll...maybe a little Garlic Powder and Dill........... ![]() ![]() Just Dreaming...and Salivating... ![]() EDIT: How about YOU describe to the waitperson .. Your Own Lobster Roll ..(Build Your Own)... and a price is quoted ....?? How would that work..? |

Not a huge lobster roll guy, but have to say, The Bob House has a fantastic one. Been there several times now, and quickly becoming a huge fan. Their lobster roll is quite good.

Probably unpopular, but I like a little "something" in the lobster salad that is in my (must be) toasted roll. Not a lot of dressing (but some!), and a little of this or that , , celery, , a herb or two (don't want to give away any ideas : ), , , otherwise we are simply looking at plain lobster. Not much to compare there except size and price which aren't really indicators of a great recipe.

We had no idea what clear meant, so it was a bit of a surprise when they came out with butter and I discovered that I prefer mayo to butter for lobster rolls! |

Not a big fan myself but I am married to one.
Question: I always give some significant credit to the lobster or lobsters who contributed to the roll. How much is it just the luck of the draw and how much is the skill or technique of the cooking and preparation? |

Difference.
Steaming lobster is actually preferred over boiling as it tends to tenderize the lobster meat especially for larger lobsters. Start off with a large stock or lobster pot and cover the bottom with 2" of generously salted water (ideally, sea salt). Bring water to a boil, place the lobster in head first and cover. The cooking times.

We've hit Sawyers a few times this year for lobster rolls and haven't been disappointed.

I've had many all over the place. I still think The Lobster Pound is the class of the lobster roll.
We "had" a great one on the water here in Vermont. This year, portions are way smaller, price is higher. Give me chips and slaw and I'm happy. Truthfully, I think most people latch onto a place they like and it become fantastic. I only love the food, surroundings are secondary. Sorry, but TLP is the best on all counts. ![]() |

We like Sam and Rosie's the best but have not yet tried Kevin's. Actually went to several places here and tried the lobster rolls this year to see which was the best.

Just to make you all hungry and demonstrate what the perfect lobster roll (IMHO) looks like feast your eyes on this picture. Each year we attend a Lobster Bake in Boothbay, Maine. These rolls are made from 100% sweet, fresh Maine lobster. Best of all it's all you can eat! I won't admit to how many I ate last year as platter after platter came out. If a restaurant in the Lakes Region could duplicate this simple but delectable lobster roll I'd be a regular customer.

Great looking lobster there Don. But the rolls are small, some are schrunched, and they don't look toasted

They are the perfect size on regular size hot dog rolls, the same size restaurants serve. You can eat as many as you want.
??? You can get them either way. The taste and freshness of these lobster rolls is very impressive to me. |

Everyone's selling lobster rolls this summer, from $8.99 to $19.99, many of them delicious. The thing you need to inquire about is exactly how much lobster meat is in the sandwich. I've been asking and some have 4 oz, some 5 oz, some 6 oz and some have 8 oz of meat. Once you know that you can determine what kind of deal you are getting.

The real bottom line is how much do you like it? Think of a blind taste test. Believe it or not, our (shhhhh) bowling alley has them for $6.95. They really are pretty great.

Believe it or not, but the 99 actually has a decent lobster roll. Not the best I have ever had (that was at Waldos a few years ago), but it was pretty darn good. I also had one at the Airport Diner over by Manchester Airport. It was decent as well.

We had lunch today at Sam & Rosie's in Center Harbor and each had the lobster roll. It was great - same as ITD described, with big hunks of claw. On toasted roll with lettuce and a bit of mayo.

In this area they have the best lobster roll without question. We have tried others but none are as good.

We decided to float and eat last Friday, so off to Bart's I went and picked up two 2 plus pounders, and steamed them up. I do all the prep work at home- cleaned the lobbies and cut the meat up, added a touch of mayo and put in a tupperware container, grilled and buttered the rolls, and hit the lake.
When we were ready to eat, I stuff them and: |

Has the MOST DELICIOUS LOBSTER MEAT!! I learned about this only today. A neighbor whose opinion I respect, told me that he had gotten a pound of lobster meat at Wining Butcher and had made four delicious rolls. I decided to stop in at Wining Butcher after I finished my shopping at Hannaford. I purchased eight Country Kitchen Frankfurt rolls while at Hannaford that were in a package marked 2/$4.00 along with my blueberries, magoes, fresh cooked turkey breast (instead of the chickens) and Chobani no fat yogurt, asparagus etc.
I then crossed the street and got gas and went to Wining Butcher. I had never been there. The woman beside me got two very large chicken parm breasts for $10.45 for both. I was amazed and told her that was a good deal. She said they were delicious. The lobster meat looked great so I took a chance and got a pound. It is $22 something a pound. I came home and made THREE STUFFED ROLLS for our dinner. They were wonderful. I would not make four if you like your lobster roll really stuffed! So I am now casting two votes. If you like to have it all made for you and eat at a restaurant, then Sam and Rosie's is my favorite. Those cost $17.95 each plus tax and tip, and come with fries or cole slaw. Wining Butcher is my favorite if you want to take the meat home and make your own. (Just stuff the meat into the rolls!) We like to have people in for lobster rolls for lunch at the water on a nice day. Will get a Hart's blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Last edited by Lucky1; 08-10-2010 at 07:52 AM.
