O! M! G!

I’d been in Boston for6 days, and had given up home that I’d find a good lobster roll that wasn’t served on gluten free bread I wouldn’t feed to the birds. So, I was walking to a pizza place that was highly recommended for gluten free a pizzas…and I passed this place. It caught my eye, so I walked in to take a look at their menu. Not only did they have gluten free rolls, but their clam chowder and lobster bisque is gluten free as well. I decided I had to try it, and boy was I not disappointed.

The lobster roll was served on an actual roll, and they toasted it on a a gluten free dedicated griddle.

The lobster in the to roll was some of the best I’ve ever had, with full pieces of lobster meat (not chopped) throughout the sandwich.

The chowder was wonderful, and left me wanting to come back for more (I still haven’t decided what to do for dinner…so…)

All said, I’d highly recommend this place whether you are gluten free or not.

I got the trio, the lobster bisque, and the coleslaw. I loved the gf bread and out of all the rolls the lobster and shrimp tied. The coleslaw was a little lackluster but the lobster bisque was tasty and definitely well worth getting. I really enjoyed this meal.

Let me see your lobster roll!! I had a lobster roll on one of the best GF buns I’ve ever had. The staff was phenomenal and caring. The soups are GF too. I can’t wait to come back.

Everything on the menu can be GF, and is prepared in a separate area to prevent cross contamination. The staff is very knowledgeable. Some of the best GF bread I’ve ever had!

I had the popcorn shrimp with fries and coleslaw. GF breading and dedicated fryer for all GF items. Sadly, The fried haddock and chicken are not gluten free. Their batter has gluten and is fried in a separate fryer.

This place is pricey but very good! It’s the second location I have eaten at. I also tried another location in DC. I have had the gluten free lobster roll, the gluten free Jonah crab roll, and the clam chowder. They were all excellent. The mochi-like buns are interesting, different, light and tasty. They do tend to crack down the middle but it was so good that I didn’t mind. The rolls are loaded with lobster and crab. The chowder is delicious even heated up the next day. I would go again for a special occasion.

Everything on the menu can be prepared gluten free! There fryers are all gluten free because they use a gluten free breading on all of their fried options. The staff was very knowledgeable and the food was great! Had the fried pickles and lobster roll flight, could not have been more happy!! Definitely would go back! Such an amazing view as well.
