Best Lobster Rolls on the Shoreline
The lobster roll was created in Connecticut (Milford to be exact), but over the years the Shoreline has perfected it. What do we mean by perfected? We’re talkin’ local catch, and authentic waterfront dining right on the Long Island Sound.
Guilford
Guilford Lobster Pound
Located on the back deck of a small lobster pound with views of Faulkner Island, Grass Island, and Guilford Harbor this mom-and-pop operation offers the freshest lobster rolls, picked from their daily catch.
Clinton
Shanks Waterfront Dining
A glorified "Food Boat" created from a 1974 Bruno & Stillman 42 foot Commercial Lobster Boat, has been completely customized, offering fresh seafood, lobster, burgers, and much more, along with movie nights and live music.
Clinton
Lobster Landing
We love this BYOB landmark, offering lobster served on oversized, toasted Italian rolls. Make sure and say hi to Bacci for us when you stop by!
Old Saybrook
Liv’s Lobster Shack
Liv’s Shack originated from weekend stands at Connecticut Farmer’s Market and the Durham Fair. Opening in 2014, Liv's Shack celebrates summer in New England with hot buttered lobster rolls, fish tacos, hand-ground hamburgers and more.
Noank
Abbotts Lobster in the Rough
We love Abbott’s because they’ve been known for their lobster since 1947, but we especially love their sizing - the standard, the “OMG,” and the “LOL,” - which roll will you choose?
Noank
Ford’s Lobsters
Originally a small gas dock and bait and tackle in the mid 1950's, with a retail lobster shack added in 1970. Ford's Lobster now includes indoor dining, while continuing the original character and charm of the iconic lobster pound.
Mystic
Red 36
RED 36 is located directly on the water in historical downtown Mystic. In the summer, walls of window completely open and lead to an outdoor bar, multiple lounge areas and dining tables. Their goal is to provide quality, fresh and innovative food - and their lobster roll is part of that!
