Our favorite Cape Cod Lobster Rolls
1. Popponessett Raw Bar| Mashpee
Featured on the Phantom Gourmet, the Raw Bar was designated as having the biggest & best lobster roll from Maine to Connecticut.
“It’s truly loaded with chunks of the best lobster meat, no fillers. 2 pounds in every roll – it’s fun to share or not! Bet you can’t eat one.”
– Debbie Regan
2. The Lobster Trap | Bourne
The Lobster Trap is a family owned and operated business that serves an elevated cuisine, in a fun and casual environment for the entire family.
“They have the most amazing Lobster Reuben sandwich! Different than a traditional lobster roll but every bit as delicious. A real twist on an old favorite”
– Team Guthrie & Mabile
3. The Knack | Orleans
Everything is made in-house. They make their own sauces, developed specifically for each of their sandwiches. The seafood is battered with a homemade recipe developed over sixty years ago. The onion rings are also hand-cut.
“The Knack’s lobster roll, prepared with a light lemon aioli, is delicious with big chunks of claw and tail. We order ahead, pick up our yummy lobster rolls and drive out onto the Outer Beach on the Orleans residents’ side at golden hour. We linger over appetizers, wine, enjoy the lobster rolls watch for whales, and the moon rise. It’s our heaven on earth.”
– Christine Altneu
4. Raw Bar | Hyannis
With a prime location on Ocean Street, the Hyannis Raw Bar serves both a traditional lobster roll and a hot buttered lobster roll with their famous fresh-daily lobster meat.
“By far the best! It’s fresh, massive (feeds 2 people!), and reasonable priced!”
– Catherine Baran
5. Jim’s Clam Shack | Falmouth Harbor
Waterside seafood shack on scenic Falmouth Harbor.
“Lobster on Cape Cod is fresh everywhere, and enjoying a tasty morsel while watching boats come and go is a bonus.”
– Heath Coker
6. Bubala’s by the Bay | Provincetown
The lobster here is never-ending. Lobster salad sliders, lobster and soul roulade and lobster ravioli. You surely won’t leave hungry.
“They offer regular cold and hot buttered. Yum. Fun atmosphere, great people watching or water view. High energy with many menu options.”
– Terrie Reilly
7. Sesuit Harbor Cafe | Dennis
Overlooking Northside Marina and Cape Cod Bay, enjoy the views from this classic Cape Cod clam shack. Plus Lobster Roll cruise charters are available on board the S.S. Lobster Roll.
“Best Lobster Roll on the Cape. Plenty of lobster meat, bursting with flavor, and quite delicious. Nothing like going down to Sesuit Harbor grabbing a lobster roll and a cold IPA and kicking back while the sun sets over the bay. Exquisite!”
– Eric Clark
8. Steve & Sue’s | Hyannis
Steve & Sue’s Par-Tee Freeze has it all: Mini-golf, soft serve, frozen yogurt and, of course, delicious lobster rolls.
“Yummy, quick and courteous”
– Polly Spence
