Great lobster rolls here. Buttery toasted bun and flavorful lobster. I would definitely come here again for their lobster roll. Also, I don't like clam chowder but their special clam chowder is very tasty. Their combo deal of lobster roll with side of soup is a great deal. The place inside is small, but they have outside seating.

Found this gem on Google maps and I just moved to the New Haven area so I was excited to check it out with my fiance. The lady who took our order was really nice and also gave me a sample of their clam chowder - definitely wanna go back to try that on a colder day! We got the crab cakes, the shrimp po boi, a lobster grilled cheese and two lemonades. Came out to like 55 but the food was delicious and the lobster was fresh. We sat outside on a breezy day and this side quest was a good way to get more familiar with the North Haven area. Highly recommend 10/10!

We love this spot! The food is high quality and the menu options are creative and yummy. Love the staples - corn chowder, lobster bisque, and you can’t go wrong with any of the sandwiches on the menu. Steak and Gorgonzola wrap, scallop / shrimp po boy, cod fish sandwich. All great!

We stumbled across this earlier this year and were Amazed by how great the food was and how great the service. Don't be fooled by how underwhelming the exterior or interior looks. The food more than compensates!!! The flavors are all there! From seafood to burgers, you'll be more than satisfied you stopped by. We are now fans each time we pass through!

What a gem to find just off of google maps. Nice cosy place. Happy warm staff. It was very hard to make a decision. We had lobster bisque. So many chunks of lobster meat. Seasoned very well and has great flavour Tuna tacos cooked properly was nice a fresh. The crab cake sandwich also a winner. Just down in north haven for a new washer. Very impressive little place. It is worth the trip. Go go go !!!!! We went a second time. Awesome again. Seriously the best lobster bisque. And we have had a lot. Go go go there !!!!!

Their New England clam chowder is so very much better than Boudin’s in San Francisco, and it grieves me to say that. Thank you, well done! Absolutely delicious!

Relocating from the West Coast, it was the best clam chowder! Sure our bellies were happy! Love the warmth service too. The lady in the front was sweet. Cute little place!

Get a bowl of CT clam chowder…what an amazing invention! We were very hungry, grateful there was indoor seating for us and added a couple sandwiches. Both perfectly delicious and the wait for a hot made to order meal did not seem long to us. Some things cost more than I would expect, and then there’s a daily list of specials that are definitely specially low priced. This place has that regional New England seafood flavor I was craving. We were on vacation from West Coast so we wanted to eat and try new things, yet with that much food that we had leftover CT chowder to bring home. In the future, I will eat there and bring another meal for home. Nicest people there sent us home with broth clam chowder and that was also perfectly made.
