    Good place for a first try or tourism. A little pricy. (Detail below) ✅ Lobster roll (cold with salad) tastes great (although generally I like the hot more than cold but it tastes good) ✅ Bacon scallop is juicy. Very lovely ✅ Clam chowder is pretty fresh ❌ Don’t order shrimp roll, doesn’t taste that well (the shrimp is small and like those frozen one) ❌ Spent $50+ with one shrimp roll, one clam chowder, and one bacon scallop I’ll say this is a tourism location. Have fun with the tour! But if want serious lobster roll, still need to go to those bigger restaurants

    The market is really nice but doesn’t have enough seats and tables because it’s really crowded. So we ate food at standing table. But food was fresh and delicious i ordered something like sandwich combo So i got clam chowder too. It was tasty too. I recommend this place :)

    First time trying lobster rolls. Pretty good stuff! I love seafood. Really pricey for the small amount of food that we got, and the bread should’ve been buttered in my opinion. Other than that, not a bad experience at all.

    Obviously this place is touristy but the food it good and isn't offensively overpriced. Have to go with the warm lobster roll.

    We debated for a whole day, on where to get our lobster roll from. I'm glad we chose here. This lobster roll, melted in my mouth. This was magical.

    Lobster roll on garlic Texas toast (okay really a NE roll) but the garlic taste was prevalent. Lobster was cooked well and tender. Only issue, the roll was drowned in butter. Like overwhelming. All claw and knuckle meat.

    After 15 years the Boston & Maine Fish company is absolutely my favorite place in Boston for Lobster, Mussels, and a Sam Adams.

    (Translated by Google) Cram chauder or something. Steam lobster. Coke. $ 33. Is it true? No fun to eat and no tastes Significantly less Highly not recommended. (Original) 크램차우더 인가뭔가 그거랑 스팀랍스터 하나, 콜라 시켰는데 33달러 실화냐? 먹는 재미도없고 감동도 없던 맛 양도 상당히 적음 Highly not recommended.

  • 5/5 Gunnar K. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were friendly and helpful, Food was great. They were one of the only ones that were open after 6:30. Make sure you look at the prices before you order. Lobster is not cheap.

  • 5/5 Ivan L. 4 years ago on Google
    The best lobster in Boston

  • 5/5 Mike A. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered the hot buttered lobster roll and honestly I was in heaven. It was great. Unfortunately I shared it with a few other people (we don’t have these near us) and ended up only having a few bites. Wish I could have one right now.

  • 4/5 Andrew G. 4 years ago on Google
    Good seafood. Pricey for order at the counter.

  • 5/5 Parker J. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic lobster roll and clam chowder bowl. Quincy Market is crowded, so be ready to deal with some crowds, but the food is worth it.

  • 5/5 Sharon R. 4 years ago on Google
    7/22 5 stars for Service! Nice people even though they were so busy!

  • 1/5 Ralph C. 4 years ago on Google
    The food doesn’t taste good. The worst part was that they overcharged customers. My orders was a little over $35, I was charged $40 even. I thought it was tax until I bought something from another vendor.

  • 3/5 K R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The lobster salad roll wasn't delicious in bread (it might be delicious if you were a bit higher buttered) and I wondered if it was worth the price. The clam chowder was delicious. The clerk's attitude was not very good, but it was very fine, but I was worried that for some reason it was said that the $ 5.95 tax included was $ 6 (the person just said the amount and the next customer I moved to another action and gave $ 10 to another store clerk, but it returned $ 4.05 ... I was a little worried because other reviews wrote that the wrong amount was taken. (Original) ロブスターサラダロールはパンが美味しくなかった(少し高めのbutteredなんとかという方にしたら美味しくなるかもしれません)のと、値段ほどの価値があるかは疑問に思いました。クラムチャウダーは美味しかったです。店員さんの態度があまり良くなかったのと、ものすごく細かいですが税込5.95ドルのものをなぜか6ドルと言われたのが気になりました(その人は金額を言っただけで次のお客さんの対応に移り、別の店員さんに10ドルを渡したら4.05ドル返ってきましたが…。他のクチコミにも間違った金額を取られたと書いてあったので少し気になりました)。

  • 5/5 Rebecca G. 2 years ago on Google
    Best roll I’ve had here so far. The garlic bread they serve it on adds extra flavor and there’s a little bar area at the end to eat and get beer too

  • 5/5 Amanda P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is where I get my lobster roll every time I'm in Boston. The garlic roll really makes a huge difference. I've tried lobster rolls elsewhere but this one is my favorite so I keep coming back.

  • 4/5 Brooke B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here a couple days ago for a quick lunch before going out to George Island. I got the lobster roll, which I surprisingly enjoyed. Now that I have completed my lobster hunt across the coast of Maine, I can say that this lobster roll (in Boston!) was/is my favorite that I've tried thus far. The meat wasn't straight crab, but much like a crab-clam mix w/ mayo or some sauce. It was delicious. And the lemon just complimented the meat so well. It was like the icing on the cake. My only critique is that it was on the more expensive side ($28!). But, it's in Boston and I didn't know if the local demand of lobster spiked the price. But, it's good and worth a try!

  • 5/5 R D. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been here in years! It was my husband's first trip to Boston and his first lobsta roll. 🦞 These hot lobster rolls were perfect. He told me all night how delicious it was. Pro tip: Ask for hot garlic butter instead of just hot butter! If you're familiar with the market, you know many vendors don't have seating. This place has a few counters and bar stools to the side. Or take your tray to the tables in the middle of the hall ( with additional seating upstairs). It's mall food court style.

  • 4/5 Wei H. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered the lobster combos for lunch. Bread was warm and creamy. Lobster was chewy and juicy! Clam chowder was too richly but good tasting!

  • 5/5 Tony T. 1 year ago on Google
    first visit and clam chowder is soo good tasty and real beer sit at bar counter do enjoy! mussels and garlic butter excellent with little tobasco

  • 3/5 Ghufran A. 10 months ago on Google
    The lobster roll was pretty tasty but the chowder was the signature dish for me, it was very meaty and flavorful. The lemonade paired perfect with the meal it seemed fresh and not prepared from concentrate. The place is inside Quincy market so we ate the food on the standing tables because it was too crowded on the weekend.

  • 3/5 D D. 1 year ago on Google
    Rating is based solely on my order of the clam chowder in a bread bowl and the lobster salad roll. Do NOT get a bread bowl. It was cold, stale, and they removed only a small part from inside, so essentially I got an equivalent of just a small cup. It's a ripoff. Chowder itself was also not very hot, and I definitely had better at a local restaurant in Boston, and even in some places in NYC. The salad was just OK as well, but a potato bun was again not the freshest. Maybe I got a bad batch or something but it's not worth spending $38 on these two items.

  • 5/5 Cali Crypto D. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious lobster rolls and clam chowder. seats are limited at the location but more seating is available on the 2nd floor. Customer service was good. Will definitely be coming back for more when I visit Boston again.

  • 5/5 Anna C. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried our first ever lobster rolls here and they were DELISH. Good buttery bread with the option for garlic butter. The addition of a squeeze of lemon is a worthy addition. Will be back!

  • 2/5 Home 4 months ago on Google
    We ordered two combos each with a hot buttered lobster roll and a small clam chowder soup plus a drink. The roll was disappointing because not only the size was tiny but the lobster tasted rubbery and chewy, not as sweet and tender as I had expected. The soup was delicious though. But we were asked to pay tips when given the bill when we couldn’t even find a seat to sit do, let alone to be serviced, but I felt pressured and still chose to give the tips. So everything show costed us $82. Definitely not worth the money.

  • 2/5 Andre S. 6 months ago on Google
    Had the bacon and scallops skewer, and a side salad. Bacon tasted ok but overtook any flavor for the scallop. Salad was just bad. Old chopped lettuce, some old carrots and cucumbers. Service was friendly but don’t recommend.

  • 3/5 Steve in N. 9 months ago on Google
    Decent hot and cold lobster rolls, but there are wayyyyy better ones at a more affordable price elsewhere outside of this tourist spot. Clam chowder was okay but sandy. Nothing special.

  • 4/5 Andrew P. 5 months ago on Google
    Food tastes good but seems overpriced. I got the #1 combo which came with hot lobsert roll sandwich, chowder, and a drink for ~$33.

  • 5/5 Anna Fam Hui W. 5 months ago on Google
    Super good clam chowder and gumbo. Tried couple of chowders down the row and by far this stall has the freshest tasting soups and lobster.

  • 5/5 Sérgio L. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to have lunch in Boston, fair price, excellent service and good, genuine atmosphere! Inside Quincy Market, perfect to take a beer and relax. @srlamin19

    Lobster pie was ok but like many other dishes here salty

  • 1/5 marsha m. 3 years ago on Google
    Had the peel and eat shrimp and the lobster roll. I'm guessing the shrimp were jumbo...not much you can wrong to cold shrimp however the lobster roll is different matter. The lobster was rubbery and tasteless...only thing you could taste was the celery...ate less than half. This was certainly not worth the $41.46 price tag.

  • 3/5 Joceline L. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered a large clam chowder and a clam chowder bread bowl. The bread was better than their chowder. There wasn’t much clam in it and it just left more to be desired.

  • 5/5 Adam S. 3 years ago on Google
    They offer a nice range of delicious food. I like dining here. Employees are always friendly, rates are affordable and the place is always kept clean.

    The lobster rol with hot garlic butter it’s just simply amazing!!!! And with a clam chowder on the side, it doesn’t get any better than that.

  • 5/5 NATE S. 4 years ago on Google
    Manny was very nice and the food was fantastic! I ordered hot lobster roll and fresh oysters. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Boston.

  • 4/5 Shelly L. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered the lobster roll here. The lobster was delicious with the roll having the perfect buttery taste. The service was fast and staff friendly. I would have given 5 stars but the roll was a little soggy on the bottom.

  • 4/5 Ohad O. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing clam chowder and seafood gumbo. The lobster roll wasn't that good... 🤷🏽‍♂️

  • 2/5 Simon H. 7 years ago on Google
    Place just for tourists with less fish and more Italian, Mexican and Asian food. High price level! Can't recommend this place for Lunch/Dinner/eat out

  • 4/5 TJ T. 6 years ago on Google
    Quality of food served here is pretty decent. As this is more of a food counter, seating spaces are limited to maybe 8 pax. U can buy & take it to the centre of the marketplace where there r ample seats for u to chow down. Service staff r a pretty friendly bunch, but lunch time can be crazy pack here. Dont expect to be cheap as this is still a tourist destination.

    I loved my experience at Boston & Maine and the server Marcos gave me an exceptional service; try their Clam Chowder, it's delicious!

  • 1/5 Bryan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Lobster roll was horrible. Two bites than trash

  • 1/5 Anthony D. 4 years ago on Google
    The food wasn't bad but the prices were outrageous and the quality and quantity absolutely did not match the cost; one bowl of chowder was close to $10 and although it was pretty tasty I've had better, less expensive versions of the same dish at the wharf in san francisco. When I went there I was on keto and wanted to get the lobster salad but for $20 they were giving me about 2 bites of meat. I just was really disappointed in this place although it has promise for a lot more.
