The best!!! Great location, gorgeous views , fresh seafood , deliciously cooked, large portions , worth the wait and drive. I'll continue to make a stop by here every summer- it's been a few already.

Russell Hirschorn

Great location. oysters were small but delish. OMG roll is a good size but expensive . NE Chowder and bisque were well done. Get a corn , skip the carrott cake , very dry

Drew M

If you're getting a lobster roll , get the OMG lobster roll . Byob . The shrimp is mediocre. But it's a beautiful place and is always a great place to visit.

PureWow

Choose between hot or cold sandwiches : the traditional lobster salad roll , garnished with mayo and celery on a hot dog bun , or Abbott’s famous hot lobster roll , buttered and served on a round roll . Read more

Grab a spot in line and order the famous hot lobster roll : a quarter pound of hot, buttery lobster meat stuffed on a toasted hamburger bun . It’s what summer dreams are made of. Read more

Awesome hot lobster roll . The OMG Roll is massive and delicious. Dockside tables have great views and don't forget to wash it all down with a blueberry shake !

Men's Health Mag

The lobster is king here. They’re steamed so the water doesn't permeate the shell and dull its flavor. Abbott’s will sell you the suckers in sizes up to 10 pounds, big enough to make Ahab blush. Read more

OMG Hot Lobster Roll ! BYOB . The scenic view is unbelievable!

Esquire: Picnic tables on the grass by the water. Steamed lobsters , caught that day, with drawn butter in paper cups. A beer .

Gretchen Murphy

Locals know to head next door to Costello’s (similar vibe but Costello’s has French fries , fish sandwich , etc.). $3 for a scoop of ice cream felt like a steal!

Nathan Anderson

Try and secure a table out on the dock, the view is great! You can bring your own alcohol as well , so come prepared :)

Angela Skees

Lobster roll will never disappoint. The bisque was pretty damn good too.

The hot lobster roll is the best I've ever had. I love that they don't use mayonnaise .

Scenic view of the water and marina .

Steve C

Hot lobster roll is amazing ..... A must have when you are here

Drew M

"Joe's Law" is that anything here that needs a recipe is mediocre. Order simple: lobster , corn , clams . Avoid garlic muscles , crab cakes , deviled eggs , etc.

Dan Hanley

Get the red chowder

Sue J.

Beat seafood restaurant I've ever been to! Lobsters are as fresh as they get!

John P

Good place but had to wait in separate line for small milkshake for about 25 minutes while food was ready way before. Wish they would have told you that you would waste time with that.

Christopher B

Absolutely perfect as a hangout spot when the weather is nice. Their hush puppies are great. The service can be a bit slow though, so not the place to go if you're in a rush. - Janine vN
