Butter Lobster Roll, Boston's Must-Try
📍 Location & Atmosphere Located in the heart of Kendall Square in Cambridge, at 200 Kendall St, Cambridge. Just a 3-minute walk from the Kendall/MIT station on the Red Line. The restaurant sits below office buildings, directly across from the MIT campus, surrounded by tech companies and academic institutions. At lunchtime, you’ll often see business professionals in suits and scholars with backpacks sharing the space. 🦞 Must-Try Specialty: Hot Butter Lobster Roll · Taste Profile: A warm, buttered bun lightly toasted to a slight crisp, filled with lobster meat and drizzled with melted hot butter. The lobster is tender and sweet, the butter rich but not greasy, and the bun strikes a perfect balance between crisp and soft. Served with thick-cut fries that are crispy outside and fluffy inside. It easily outshines the lobster rolls from Quincy Market’s, chowda! · Pro Tips: You can ask for "extra butter" or "double-toasted bun" for an even richer flavor. · Price Reference: Market price is around $43 (pre-tax). While on the higher side, the portion is generous. 🚶 Nearby Exploration Routes · Academic Pilgrimage Route: MIT Main Building (5-minute walk) → MIT Museum (10 minutes) → Meal at the restaurant → Stroll along the Charles River to digest. · Tech Exploration Route: Microsoft Research (next door) → Google Kendall Campus (8 minutes) → Meal at the restaurant → Visit the Broad Institute. · Arts & Culture Route: Kendall Square independent bookstore (2 minutes) → Meal at the restaurant → Catch a movie at a nearby indie cinema. 💡 Local Hidden Tips · Weekday Lunch Special: Available Monday to Friday, includes a half lobster roll with a salad for better value. · Rainy Day Recommendation: Try the "Clam Chowder" in a bread bowl—its rich, creamy broth outshines many网红店 versions. · For a Lighter Taste: Opt for the "Cold Lobster Roll" (served chilled with mayo and lemon). #food #foreignerslove #lobsterroll #bostonlobsterroll #boston #bostontravel #bostonfood
