Lobster Joint
“For $16 you get a traditional split-top bun, grilled and buttered and filled with lots of good sweet (ok maybe slightly underseasoned) claw meat, barely any mayo, and a big excellent full-sour pickle.”
“It's more than Luke's, but not as much as some of the city places like Mary's which go way overboard when it comes to dressing the lobster.”
“Buttery roll filled with sweet fresh lobster.”

The lobster roll here was pretty good but it was more like a lobster salad with chunks of lobster added. The bun was toasted and buttered nicely and it came with a good bag of kettle cooked chips and a pickle. The mayo was light but there just wasn't enough lobster.
Maybe because I came here on the Sunday of July 4th weekend, but I'm not sure that $17 was justified for the amount that I got especially since the pictures posted here look amazing and overflowing. 5 other friends also got lobster rolls and it was the same deal. I would've just expected the lobster to at least reach the bottom of the bread.
We spoke with the supervisor who said those were old pictures and they made the move to a pre-measured amount that is more cost effective and I hear that, just maybe it should look like it fills the bun or something because I can get a full hefty portion and chips at Luke's lobster for $16-18 or when I go to Maine I can get a pound of fresh lobster on the lobster rolls with no added fillings for $17.
Again, it's pretty good and well made for the beach area, but there just isn't enough lobster. Perhaps I'll try this lobster joint again sometime and see how it goes.
great little outpost on rockaway… Small but good menu. their Lobster rolls are legit.
For $19, this is a mean combination: sandwich, pickle, drink, and chips. It is packed with righteous amounts of lobster meat. Cold, refreshing and delicious should be its name. I loved my lobster roll. It makes me want to venture out the Queens everytime I have a hankering of seafood in buttered bread. There is seating right underneath a random tarp to savor the goodies that you brought from the establishment. There was a kind gentleman who took my order and told me that unfortunately they do not accept credit card but never to fear there is an ATM right nearby here. There is ample seating on the beach as well as a few paces away on wooden picnic tables. It's great! I am definitely revisiting this joint!
$16 and worth every LOBSTER bite!! ORGASMIC! I visited Lobster joint after strolling the seaside food court trying to choose a stand with a shorter line and creative menu. The food court's long lines were like a Michael Jackson concert for 4th of July weekend. I was stuck between arepas and cevicheria. I chose a Lobster roll.
This was my 1st Lobster Roll. I loved every bite! Light on the mayo, fresh celery, TONS of FRESH lobster. I loved the fresh piece of lobster claw that was on my basket. Perfectly paired with a pickle! NOW!!! Let's talk about THE ROLL!!!!!! This bread was soft like a pillow. CRISPY and toasted with butter to perfection! !!!!!!! This was a foodgasm at best. The staff is FAST and friendly. Your food is made when ordered. If you order the Lobster sliders, they are served on sweet Hawaiian rolls!!!!
This was fantastic and refreshing. I only ordered the lobster roll sliders, of which I had three, but I really enjoyed them. Some places add a lot of extra sauce or mayonnaise in their lobster rolls, or add so many extra toppings and skimp on the lobster, but here they had an excellent balance.
The lobster itself was great–juicy, sweet, and cool on a hot day. The rolls were toasted and buttery, which was a great combination of favors as it melted into the lobster meat. It had a perfect contrast of crunchiness with the raw vegetable toppings. While the sliders were small, they were filling.
My meal came to $12 total which I thought was reasonable for the amount of food I received and the quality of lobster meat. I am intrigued by their stand and would like to investigate their larger restaurant at s later date. Like everywhere else in Rockaway Beach, the station is outdoors on picnic tables–good for small groups of friends, but many of us were comfortable eating by ourselves.
