I was in Boston for a partner event and of course you can't go to Boston without getting a lobster roll. It was a bit challenging because I was really only there for 24 hours and most of the time I was at a partner sponsored event so there wasn't much time to skip out to eat. But Farzana and I managed to squeeze in 1 lobster roll in the morning before our 12pm flight. Yes, I had lobster at 10am but it was definitely worth it.
We calculated that if we made it to James Hook right when it opened at 10am and ordered right away, we could still make it to the airport in time for our flight. If I had more time (and if it wasn't before lunch time), I would definitely have stayed longer and ordered a lot more food. It's not really a restaurant but more of a seafood market that serves up a few eat-in dishes. I could spend all day eating lobster, shrimp, chowder, clams and everything else they had there but I was on a mission for the lobster roll. It's $20 and it's extremely simple - huge chunks of lobster lightly dressed with mayo and nothing else. It's served in a hot dog bun - not a potato bun which I docked .5 fork for (personal preference) but overall it was a really solid and tasty roll. You could definitely taste the fresh lobster meat and it was a good mix of tail and claw.
When we started to leave at 11am, it was already starting to get busy. For this price point and for the other variety of food, I could definitely see myself coming here fairly often if I lived in the area.
