Best lobster roll at Quincy Market, Boston??

[zebra]

Gosh I am astonded at how many restaurants are in Faneuil/Quincy Market! We would appreciate suggestions on who makes the best lobster roll there ..... thanks.

No one. Walk the five minutes to Neptune Oyster (in the North End) for the best lobster roll in the city. Then stop by Modern Pastry for, well, everything pastry.

We had lobster roll in Quincy Market, but I cannot remember the name of the place. It was VERY pricey, but it was good. We didn't know where to go , so we judged that the place that had the longest line must have the best food!;)

I have also had lobster rolls in Quincy Market that were great - the place with the silver stools! Have no idea what the name was....

Also if you like people try Durgan Park haven't been in awhile. They had bench seating like picnic tables. Was fun a few times others not so much, but always loved the food.

This is the correct answer.

Durgin Park is a fun experience, but it's more about the "rude" wait staff and not about the food. Faneuil Hall in total is more about the experience than the food. Important to understand that going in.

As mentioned before - take a short walk and go to Neptune Oyster in the North End (Boston's Little Italy). My preference, however, is for Maria's pastry rather than Modern. It's around the corner from Neptune and has great stuff. Enjoy your time in town. :)

Thanks for the suggestions to go to Neptune's Oyster and the pastry stores .... gosh sounds like I will have to loosen my belt even before we get on the ship!!

Another vote for Maria's Pastry Shop!

 

Best canollis, hands down...filled to order so not sitting in case getting soggy as is the case with some of the more popular, touristy shops. Several fillings from which to choose as well as different shells...truly scrumptious.:)

Keep in mind if you go to Neptunes there is usually a 45 minute wait or more. The inside is very small, but well worth it....

Whatever you don't don't make the mistake of buying a Lobster Salad Roll.

Most lobster rolls are lobster salad rolls.

Union Oyster House. 41 Union St. Half block from Quincy Market. Oldest restaurant in USA.

[Nitemare]

It may be the oldest restaurant in the US, but they are not known (at least not locally) for their lobster roll.

Will be in Boston in July - thanks for name of restaurant.

I know this thread is a few months old, but I would recommend another little place where we ate huge, lovely lobster rolls and the best lobster bisque! James Hook and Co., 15 Northern Avenue, Boston. Get out of Quincy Market - it's way crowded, you are a captive audience there and they can charge you whatever they want. A small lobster roll at James Hook was $13, a large one was $16. Unbelievably generous portions of real lobster meat, no fillers, no extra "stuff". Gorgeous. :)

J Hook is good. There are many options away from Faniel Hall/Quincy Market as it's kind of touristy and pricier, that said, there are so many food options there, that you can find something.

 

Mikes, Maria's & Modern pastry in the North End, try any of them, you'll not be disappointed.

[bennysails]

Neptune oyster and Marias pastry are both the best you can

get.
