I've been meaning to come to Old Port Lobster House for awhile since they have "lobster" in their title it should be mouth-watering good. They are located in a strip mall with a few outdoor tables. The theme of the restaurant is cheesy with lifesavers, wooden stands with boat ropes, fishes....you get the point, a five year old would be very happy here.



They serve the lobster roll dressed or naked (with butter). The sandwich is $19, served with fries and coleslaw. The lobster was abundant and on a thinly toasted butter egg roll. I enjoyed it a lot since the bread to meat ratio was perfect. The lobster was slightly overdressed so I'll make sure to tell them next time. According to a CHOW post, the roll is an authentic New England style roll by Le Boulange baked especially for Old Port Lobster.



At lunch, you can "combo" any dish for an extra $4 it includes a drink and your choice of clam chowder. This is a good deal since the soup is $5.75. This is one of the best clam chowder I've had so far, very smooth and the flavors were sweet and creamy. The soup chunks were still distinguishable and plenty.




The $19.95 ipswich (full belly) clams were not fat, it was like eating fried clam strips but the basket was filled. I want to come back for the naked lobster, if you get two lobster rolls (called the Double Play) it is $35 so saving a few bucks.
