The Right Fork Diner

The brioche bun was generously slathered in butter and very nicely toasted and the roll was served with a fresh salad of tender greens, which is the ideal side to a hearty roll. What made this the best in my opinion was the fact that the lobster salad had FLAVOR. An herb aioli lightly coated the sweet tender lobster meat and this made all the difference.

Lookout Tavern

They only use knuckle and claw meat so what you’re getting are huge chunks of lobster meat, tossed in melted butter and tucked into another toasted and buttered brioche roll. The lemon wedge served with it makes everything bright and delicious. This was the slow start of me realizing I loved hot lobster rolls as much as cold ones.

Sand Bar & Grille

My favorite was the cold lobster roll. There was something about the mayonnaise that I loved – and I forgot to ask what kind they used, so I need to go back! Back to this lobster roll, it was served with fries and I honestly don’t know who would be able to finish this meal. The roll is huge! For a beach vibe in Oak Bluffs, head here for a roll.

Katama General Store

We got our rolls to go & headed to the beach (tip: ask for the lobster meat to be packaged separately so the bun doesn’t get soggy) Once we arrived, we prepared the rolls with a bit of lettuce and were ready to go! A hint of celery in the lobster salad added great crunch and was a good pairing to round out the lobster roll.

Behind the Bookstore

A bit smaller than every other roll we tasted, the fresh lobster meat was tossed in a lemon tarragon dill aioli and drizzled with a warm brown butter caper sauce. If that doesn’t translate to flavor, I don’t know what does!

Grace Church Parish

We arrived around 3:45pm and the line was already out the door, so make sure to get there early. Another just mayo and lobster roll, this one was not toasted or buttered. Served with the classic Cape Cod chips, we ordered our roll to go and the amount of lobster meat we received was enough to make 2 very generous rolls or three normal rolls – so even if you are going to just eat them outside, order them to go for that extra lobster meat!

John's Fish Market

The key isn’t just a toasted bun, but a HOT buttered bun with the cold lobster salad meat. They use Cain’s mayonnaise, extra heavy, in with the fresh lobster meat. Served with Lay’s Chips, this is a classic roll that you’ll enjoy.
