Up front, we are two canadians that just came in from NYC today on the train. Yankee Lobster was recommended by my Manager back home, he mentioned this was a "must visit". He wasn't wrong. While Canada is full of lobster from the east coast, I had never tried it until today (literally the last seafood on the planet I have never had in it's true meat form (bisque doesn't count)). The meat was perfect. It was abundant. It was sweet, but more importantly, it wasn't bogged down in mayo. You could taste the sweet sea. Crunchy from the celery, tangy from the mayo and lemon we added on top. We also had the fried clams (a first for us both). They were crunchy and fun with the side of tartar sauce. Washed it down with an IPA and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The staff were attentive, the woman behind the cash was super pleasant and the man cleaning and waiting tables outside was helpful. Overall, great place. It was a 40 minute walk from our hotel, but it was worth it and we may just do it again. While we noticed a few people balked at the price in the reviews, we are not sure where they think they can get a cheap lobster or seafood, back home we pay a pretty penny for lobster. Quality and quantity is at Yankee Lobster! Thanks for the great food and nice people. Canada loves you 🇨🇦

Update: Nut allergy friendly: No issues with my order and most things on the menu. There is usually a line for lunch here, especially on convention days at the BCEC. I arrived around 1PM. There were ~10 people in front of me. Got through the line in about 6 minutes, and got my food in another 8 minutes or so. Overall, very fast counter service. I have rated this as my best lobster roll in Boston a few years ago, and I think it maintains that designation to this day. Yankee serves both hot and cold lobster rolls in every style. I always get a cold mayo roll when I'm here, but I took five others this time and we were perfectly split 50/50 on hot vs. cold. I would take that to mean that both are excellent here! The lobster roll is quite substantial and comes with crispy fries. Highly recommend a touch of lemon on the cold roll. Definitely recommend if you're in the Seaport or even coming from downtown Boston and seeing the new developments in this area! It is pricey but oh so worth it. Old Review: Lobster roll and large clam chowder for two. The fries that came with the roll were fantastic. Roll itself was amazing, be careful of lobster shells or hard pieces when biting in. Chowder was thick and savory, one of the best we had in Boston.
