Delicious lobster rolls! My friend took us here because this was her favorite place for lobster rolls. We ordered them to go this time but I'll have to enjoy them there next time. Lots of lobster meat and butter. We also ordered the lobster bisque with a few lobster chunks. It was also delicious but I wish there was more meat. We also had coleslaw but I thought they were ok.

The hot lobster roll was buttery, packed with tender lobster, and served in a perfectly toasted bun—simple and amazing. The soups were just as comforting: creamy clam chowder, and rich lobster bisque. Perfect combo for a cozy, satisfying meal. Highly recommend.

The Lobster Landing checks all the boxes for the ultimate Connecticut Lobster roll worth the drive. Tender succulent and bountiful lobster meat in a soft butter roll screaming with flavor. Don’t miss the Chowder. The chowder was full of fresh clams savory and steaming hot just like it should be One of the best seafood shacks I’ve ever experienced with a true New England vibe “. Friends can’t make it they offer fast friendly service and provide lobster roll to go cook with instructions to make at home. The adjacent raw seafood market offers the finest steamed lobster, clams and other Fish options that you can take home or dine undercover dock side tables Can’t wait to go back

Famous spot for lobster rolls, often voted among the best in Connecticut. The 4oz roll ($29 market price) was buttery, fresh, and delicious. BYOB and plenty of casual seating by the water. Chowder was rich with clams and potatoes (even better provided oyster crackers). Clean porta-potties and decent parking, though it fills up quickly. The sausage, peppers & onions were hearty and flavorful. Staff was friendly and efficient, and orders came out quickly. A classic New England seafood shack worth the visit.

The struggle is real. Food was amazing, but the wait can be long. We've been here during the week, but getting food on a weekend, let alone a holiday, can be a challenge. Parking here is always a problem, but expect to circle a LOT at times. It took us 45 minutes to get our food, but patience got us a shared table, and a parking space after 15. Id recommend having one person go out and sit in line, while the other waits for an opening to park, then join up. Otherwise, beautiful space with dockside sounds and views

Very cute set up by the water. Service was great and food came quick! Ordered lobster roll, clam chowder and lobster bisque. Roll was simple but satisfying with tender chunks of lobster. Clam chowder was tasty but the bisque was a little lackluster. It was a little too sweet for our liking and tasted just creamy. Overall a great fuss free experience with a nice view to boot.

Incredible food! I loved how after you order you can sit right next to the water to enjoy your food. The gluten free lobster roll almost didn’t taste gf. It has such delicious gf bread and very delicious lobster, highly recommend!

Perfect location on a sunny day (thunderstorm coming...) Great spot right on the water, decent parking. Just underwent renovations, the "shack" is much sturdier now! Service was great even with a rush to batten down the hatches before the storm... Grilled buttered sub roll - as it should be M/P which today was $29. About average price in the area, but just better...
