Recommendations

"Speaking of lobster, the delectable Maine lobster roll comes stuffed with poached lobster and is served on a buttered hot dog bun."
"The 19 Best Lobster Rolls: Thames Street Oyster House serves fresh cracked, butter-poached, cold-water Maine lobster on a buttered split-top bun."
"The oysters Rockefeller were fancy and delicious. The shells were properly set on a bed of rock salt, and their briny inhabitants were dressed with creamed spinach sporting Pernod and Parmesan."
"The New England Lobster Roll is a decadent dish of simple beauty: great big, intact chunks of lobster tail and claw meat brushed with butter, set on a butter-brushed, toasted white roll, and served with a side of yet more butter."
"The roll was so buttery, without being soggy. And it was filled with plenty of hot tail and claw meat. It was definitely one of those meals that you’re legitimately sad when you finish."
"The meat glistened seductively with melted butter, piled high and steaming on top of a crisp, oily split-top bun. One tentative bite into the roll was enough. No mayonnaise, only butter, which had been absorbed, sponge-style, into the bun. We forsook all other rolls, all other foodstuffs. As the white wine-fueled Bacchanal raged around us, this was ambrosia."
"We know, you’re in Maryland for the crabs, but give the butter-doused lobster roll from this Fells Point tavern a try. It comes with a side of vinegar cucumber salad, and it’s all pretty spectacular."
"You'll find New England dishes like the excellent lobster roll. It's a sandwich for the ages with sweet chunks of claw and tail meat filling a buttered, open-face roll. The drawn butter on the side is a welcome extravagance."
"The simplicity of the hot roll allows you to taste the meat itself. Thames Street uses only East Coast, cold-water Maine lobster. The meat from the entire lobster is butter poached, lightly sprinkled with sea salt, and then served on a griddled, buttered brioche split-top bun. To dress things up, the roll comes with beurre monté, butter emulsified with a little bit of cream to add a silky flavor."
"The beloved bistro may be most famous for its raw bar, but the hot tail-and-claw lobster roll is another highlight."
