I just had my first ever lobster roll here (am I even from Boston?) and it was so good! My friend had suggested we go here since she's seen The Lobster Pool on a bunch of lists for where to get the best lobster roll in Boston. It was cute here! The service was pretty fast and there's a nice view looking over some water. There's slightly limited parking outside but people are coming and going so this was no issue! Lobster rolls in general aren't my new favorite food by any means but I can see how they're a fav for most in the summer. I can't say I loved seeing the red lobster arm pieces in my sandwich but I ate it anyways. The fries this came with were also divine! I'm now on the hunt for a warm one with butter!

I don't understand the 2 & 3 star reviews. You don't come to the Lobster Pool for fine dining. You step up to a counter, order, and wait for your pager to tell you to pick up your order. Want ketchup, cocktail sauce, plastic ware? Go get it. Now, if you're ready for some fried seafood. Get ready. The platters give you a little less of the fish you order and fill that space with a Mayo based Cole slaw and French fries. You can skip the sides and order a "box" which is really more like a paper boat. Small, medium & large. We went with 2 medium boxes of clams. One box strips and the other strips and bellies. I preferred the straight strips. Sweeter. Both perfectly fried, slightly chewy and a medium was a perfect serving. My wife, the disciplined health nut, went with a garden salad made special with some grilled shrimp. The salad was only average, but the large shrimp made it a decent meal. The fish & chips came loaded onto a plate with fish burying the fries. Again, perfectly done. I tried a cup of New England clam chowder (is there any other kind?) and scarfed it down before I could take a picture. Rich, but not too thick. And surprise, lots of chunks of clams. A little pepper and all was right with the world. BTW, it's BYOB. We sat on a bench facing the water and caught a beautiful sunset. Just a reality check, the Lobster Pool may be a bit divey, but the prices are still steep. 4 adults came to a little over $100 plus tip.

10/10 best fried clam bellies in cape Anne. Ive tried all of the usuals Woodmans, clambox, Farnhams, all of them and this is by far the best clam bellies. Plus, they give you lots more for the money! The food comes out super quick and the service is stellar. The Ambiance is always great as it overlooks the sea.

If in Rockport, you've got to eat here. Where better to have fresh seafood than facing the calm waters. The place is BYOB and their menu is simple but delicious! We ordered the following: - Steamer (large clams) - Fried scallops - Fried belly clams With a pack of 4 ciders we had an awesome meal. If I could bring Lobster Pool back to Toronto I would, but again, I don't mind coming back to Rockport for a lovely seafood filled weekend.

Such a great hidden gem! It was nice to go to a place in rockport outside of the downtown area. It can always be so hard to find parking there. Great lobster rolls!! Yum! We got some fried clam strips and fries too. Everything came out quickly and was so delicious. But the best part was eating outside in a quite little Bay Area on the water. A great place to bring the whole family like we did.
