Tom's Place — Restaurant in Andover

Ok, so that was delicious.

I saw the ad on that big ol' book of faces for a lobster roll meal priced at $17. Right on rt6 in Andover. Hey, I know that place. I must've driven by 1000 times. They've been there for decades, right? Needless to say, my interest was piqued. 17 bucks is pretty inexpensive for a ct lobster roll. So, pointed the trusty Accord east. Within minutes, i was there & within minutes after that I held in my hands a buttery, velvety rich delicious CT-Style Lobster Roll. A buttery grilled hot dog bun, topped with what looked like half a lobster; one claw, about a half-tail meat & smaller, more delicate picked buttery meats. The whole thing was doused in more clarified butter. Did I mention it was buttery?...soooo buttery. To cut the richness, the roll is accompanied by a small plastic ramekin of rather non-descript, yet perfectly adequate creamy mildly sweet/vinegary cole slaw & a small bag of Lay's original Potato chips. This is a pretty decent lunch-time meal for about the same price as.the so-called birthday meal at that large McCorporate place. The price on that was absurd & really made me Grimace. ... Not Tom's Place, though! Sat under some nice shady trees at the provided picnic tables next to a place where Rochambeau used to hang out. I enjoyed good eats at a classic roadside stand....

I recently visited Tom's Place and based on my awesome experience, will be visiting for lunch much more often! Convenient, incredible value for price, delicious food, quick but care in each order is clear, and friendly, attentive staff. What more could you want when grabbing breakfast or lunch? It could be a staple in someone's daily routine who passes by OR, I would suggest as a destination visit if you've never been there. Very unique and worth a trip to try. I had a cheeseburger with bacon and MANGO HABANERO SAUCE!! Suggested by Christina (who was wonderful) and it was excellent. I even went back for another a few days later. It was priced like fast food but was super fresh and much, much better quality. 5 stars and 10/10...
