Sawyers 2015

$17, $18 is outrageous for lobster rolls even with fries. Lobster isn't even that expensive now. In June wen to 99, had great lobster roll with fries and slaw, roll packed with big chunks and it was served not take out for $15 I believe. McDonals lobster rolls $7.99, I refuse to eat meals frm Sawyers prices are outrageous for mediocre food. I don't care if its a short season. There are many other restaurants with better food and better prices.

Sawyers rolls don't come with fries. I see that they removed pricing from the food portion of their site (they are still there for ice cream), they were there earlier in the year.

That's why we now (unfortunately) drive by and head to the Lobster Connection. We do stop at Sawyers on the way back for a couple pints to bring home, their sherbet is still great.

I stopped going to Sawyers a couple of years ago. It is literally a 2 minute drive from my front door but the high prices and low quality cause me to drive right by. There are plenty of other choices for better food values in the area.

I pray that you are not comparing McDonald's "lobster" rolls with any real lobster rolls.

You missed the point Chipj29, THEY ARE $7.99, NOT $18 and its real lobster

I too have tried McD's lobster rolls. Real lobster, ayah. Comparable to any other place serving LBs for quantity, nope. A bargain meal, yup. It's better and healthier than a double quarter pounder.

Real frozen maybe, not really comparable......

Check out Vista Foods grocery store Laconia...

In their deli dept. you can buy a lobster roll with chips on Fridays $9.99 +tax.
Other days $10.99 (no chips).

They also have a 'Lobster Roll Club' card. Buy 6 lobster rolls get the 7th FREE !

They're really good, and larger than McD's.

Enjoy !

Bigstan, you missed the point again, THEY ARE $7.99! did not intend to compare, although I have not eaten a Sawyers lobster roll so not sure of the quality but at $18 no matter how good it is its not worth it in my opinion especially without the extras. Now if you want comparison, I have had 99's, D'Angelo's and Red Hill Dairy, all very good. D'Angelo's $10.99, 99 $15.99 including fries and slaw, not sure how much Red Hill Dairy's are this year but 2years ago were $12.99 including fries and slaw

You missed my point, even for the price it is a terrible lobster roll.
