"America's Best Lobster Rolls: Smack Shack - Their signature rolls come with a tart lemon aioli, fresh tarragon and crisp diced cucumber, piled into split, griddled pain au lait, custom-made by the local bakery Salty Tart."
on Lobster Roll
"Combining lightly poached lobster meat with a fontina and Taleggio cheese sauce, Guy compared this ocean-fresh mac to creamy fondue, calling it “rich a la rich”."
"The griddled milk-bread "rolls" are packed with the good stuff--lots of claw meat--dressed with diced cucumber, tarragon, and lemon aioli. It may be 1,500 miles from Maine, but this is straight-up one of the best lobster rolls in America."
on Lobster Roll
"One bite is enough to instantly transport a person’s taste buds to the Maine coast. That’s a testament to the notion that simplicity — correction, a highly discriminating simplicity — is often the most beguiling form of cooking."

"Of the two lobster rolls available at Minneapolis-based Smack Shack, the original is the most life-changing. Why? Unlike the warm, buttered Connecticut-style roll, this signature item contains an enormous amount of tender, chilled lobster salad tossed with cucumber and tarragon. It's all stuffed inside delicious griddled milk bread, which adds just the right amount of richness without overwhelming the seafood."

"Ask any Minnesotan where to go for lobster and they will all give you the same answer. Smack Shack is a casual, coastal restaurant in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis and known for their killer lobster rolls."
on Lobster Roll
"The best lobster roll in town is probably at Smack Shack in the North Loop of downtown Minneapolis."

"Their famous lobster roll isn’t a roll either, and that really shouldn’t deter you because it’s uniquely well-loved despite its unabashed tendency to stray outside the lobster cannon, heaping some chunks of chilled lobster salad, cucumber and tarragon on two slices of griddled milk bread."
on Lobster Roll
"The 24 Best Lobster Rolls in America: It may be the Midwest, but Smack Shack's signature sandwich is a solid interpretation of the New England classic: chilled lobster salad, cucumber and tarragon served between Texas Toast."
