Lobster Salad Sandwich & Medium Lobster Roll and 2 soft drinks over $70 with tip.We then found a table in the tent. Then the very loud band started and blasted us out of the tent.Now the foodLobster Roll was all claw meat that had no taste because it was over cooked. My wife only ate half of it.The lobster salad was different in a negative way. Onions and tomatoes do not go well with lobster. The lobster mostly claw meat was also over cookedSo if you like loud music and over priced tasteless food then Shanks would work for you. We only tried Shanks because Lobster Landing was closed for the night.

We had eaten here before and found it to be good. We met here before heading over to spend the afternoon at Hammonasette State Park, it is conveniently located a short distance from the park.We shared the fried avocado appetizer, then all ordered the Reuben which we enjoyed very much. The food is good and reasonably priced. The service is OK.Â

First time here. Maybe last time here as there are other places that put out much better food. I ordered 2 eggs scrambled with sausage with home fries. Home fries were dry .. very little flavor .... eggs must have been small eggs as the serving size was tiny. service was very good. That's about it !! Nothing special here as far as I'm concerned.

We went to Lenny and Joe's while traveling through Westbrook. We were looking for a lobster roll and this restaurant delivered. The roll was very good with an adequate amount of lobster meat. It came with homemade cole slaw and fried zucchini, both of which were very good.Service was good. This restaurant is busy and a little noisy but we didn't mind. They had exactly what we were looking for.We recommend

Chow!!!!This place is awesome. Iâve heard about it. Iâve driven by it and today was the day to try it. Definitely stood up to the word going around town on how this little resturant is rocking the food waves. The wonton and burnt end apps... delish. Half rack of dry rub ribs with Brussel sprouts... delish. Oh yea, they also produce some pretty good looking pizza pie. Weâll try that next time. Parking, indoor and outdoors seating. Bar seating. To go orders seemed to be slamming busy. So, Iâd say give Chow a try either eat in or take out.

My daughter and I stopped for dinner on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant wasnât to crowded and we were seated immediately. we had Rosie as our waitress, she must have thought we were crazy because we ordered three appetizers ,garlic bread and each had a dinner. By the time all our food was delivered we had no room left on our table. The portions are huge, the bowl of pasta that they bring as family style could have fed four people. The people around us were laughing because of all the food we had . It was the first time for my daughter and I hadnât been there in years so I forgot that the portion were so big. Rosie was such a great waitress she packed everything up so we could take it home. We had a lot of laughs and said we would be back.thanks again Rosie

Rocky's is located in Cedar Island Marina overlooking Clinton Harbor, Cedar Island and Long Island Sound. Enjoy the never ending activity with the constant boat traffic, the southwesterly trade winds on one of our two beautiful decks.

Rocky's Aqua in Clinton has the best lobster rolls on the east coast! Hands down, it was the best in every way. We tried several different places up and down the coast, but nothing compared to Rocky's Aqua. The photos really do not do it justice. The lobster roll was packed with biggest chunks of lobster meat (see photos), while the other restaurants simply shredded little pieces of lobster meat and then added filler to it. Rocky's was the only one that gave you big bites and nothing else. The staff was amazing, and i must say, more than just a little attentive...they were right there for your every need. The place was packed, and yet the staff never faltered. We liked the place so much that we came back again the next day and tried different things on the menu--including the best seared Ahi Tuna steak, Lobster Ravioli, and Swordfish--which i hadn't tried for 35yrs--and it was cooked to perfection! But wait! It got better...they serve homemade ice cream on a beautiful patio as well. And they offered several flavors of homemade ice cream. It's the best! The restaurant overlooks the water. Everything was superb, and the staff was excellent in every way. I cannot recommend this place enough.Frank,It was our pleasure to host you while you were traveling! We'll catch up again soon! Thanks for the kind words!

We were driving to Lenny & Joeâs but someone said Lobster Landing was better. We were so disappointed. It was a shack, porto potties - dump...and more expensive. Lobster meat was scraps, not big chunks.

We have been going here for years. The meals here have always been well portioned, consistently great, and the staff has always been friendly. Highly recommended! Our favorites are the Irish nachos (waffle fries with corned beef, cheese, jalapeños), the homemade chips with house made aioli dip, the cheeseburger wrap, and California panini. Also you MUST try their house made honey mustard and also the house made hot sauce. They also have Sam & Oliver sauces, made by a company based right here in Guilford. Awesome beer selection is always rotating and can be viewed on the BeerMenus app! Great for families with kids too.
