Have fun on your trip to Boston! I'll mention a couple of places that are known for their lobster rolls, but hopefully some others can chime in. Belle Isle Seafood in East Boston is a favorite of locals, and their lobster rolls are dirt cheap. One thing to note, though: There is no seating at Belle Isle. Another place that has an excellent lobster roll is Kelly's Roast Beef on Revere Beach, which is a few miles north of Boston. Very tasty, and pretty reasonable.

Grumpy White's in Quincy, MA, has great seafood, including their lobster roll. There are tons of clam shacks along the coastline. Woodman's in Essex is famous for the first fried clams, and has a great LR as well. Welcome to Boston!

Kelly's, Revere Beach - no doubt, no comparison - the best in the world. Period.

Absolutely, Kelly's. Best representation of the classic lobster roll. Lots of meat, toasted bun, medium amount of mayo and celery.

Kelly's on Revere Beach is the best. I have been going there for years. And it is always consistent.

There is no doubt in my mind that B & G Oysters has the very best lobster roll around. It's not cheap, but then again, you want the freshest, best quality lobster meat with very little else to get in the way. Otherwise, you might as well use imitation crab and pile on the mayo!

Belle Isle Seafood in East Boston, hands down! Lobster is fresh, not frozen like most places, including you know who. Where can you get a half pound of fresh lobster meat plus fries or onion rings with a smile for a great price? I live in Gloucester and drive to Belle Island for lobster rolls.

I vote for the Union Oyster House near Government Center, Boston. The chef, Bill Coyne, sells hundreds of lobsters every day, and you can't get it any fresher!

Lobster Pot in East Wareham is by far the best. And its only 12.99.

The Olde Hitching Post in Hanson, MA, has a terrific lobster roll. Not a ton of lobster in the lobster roll, but the quality of this revered shellfish is one of the best!

Neptune Oyster Bar, Salem Street North End. Get the hot one, drenched in butter... and some oysters while you're at it.

I agree, the Lobster Pot. But I think it's in Buzzards Bay MA. They are located on Rte 6 and 28 on the Wareham line, so maybe it is Wareham.

Submitted by a Cape Codder, not a city person, and certainly not a Revere or Eastie person. (duh!)

My sister really likes the one at Legal Seafood; NOT a hidden hangout, but always good. I want my lobster straight up, steamed and absolutely NEVER lazy man style.
