Pretty good
I'm in the Midwest. I've been drooling over pictures of thesee lobster rolls on the internet for months now. I broke down one day and bought them. I've never had a lobster roll. In fact I didn't even know that it wasn't a hot sandwich until I read the instructions. With shipping this came out to $117 so that's $20 per sandwich. That's a little more than your Subway sandwich. I got these shipped over night. You get a box with insulation and ice packs inside. They lobster salad comes chilled, not frozen. I pulled out the plastic container holding the lobster. It was about a pint I guess. I set it on the counter along with the 6 rolls. My fist impression was wow I paid $117 for this? It didn't look like much at all. I open the container with the lobster salad. Visually I was awed. Wow, look at all these huge chunks of lobster meat! I took a sniff. It didn't smell like anything which means it is fresh I guess but I was expecting lobster smell. Also it seemed more like lobster meat than lobster salad because there was nothing in it. I read the instructions and it said I could add more mayo which I did. I can't complain about the vendor or the delivery but I can't say I was that impressed with the taste of the lobster roll itself. It was bland. Beats me. I'm no expert. There are a bunch of good reviews so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. When I get lobsters I savor it by chewing really slowly and I have that lobster taste in my mouth for a while after eating it. Didn't get that. Over the next couple days I finished the rest of the lobster meat but with less enthusiasm. Don't' get me wrong they were pretty good but I found myself wanting to eat something else however I didn't want to waste $117. The last one I heated the meat and added tarragon. It was ok. There you go. That was my once in a lifetime lobster roll experience. Not really for me. I'll stick with live lobster. Actually if I ever wanted lobster rolls again I'd just buy live lobster locally and make it myself. the only reason I order off the internet was to get the authentic rolls. Woopidy doo. Seriously it was just white bread.

Florantastic!
Sent these rolls for a good friend's 79th bday present and just heard today that they were the best ever eaten - and these folks, as well as us, spend a bunch of time in Maine. They're in Florida now and are salivating for their Maine adventures come June. Hmmm - think I'm going to order them for my family right now!

so good
I could not believe how good these were! I hate goopy mayo in salads - this has the just the perfect amount to highlight the big chunks of lobster. The bun is wonderful too! Will order again!

Amazing, delicious, perfect!
These were incredible. The lobster was unbelievable fresh, and the rolls were exactly right, especially brushed with butter and lightly grilled. There was ample lobster salad for six rolls, and while we added a bit of celery, it was equally delicious without. We're already planning our next order.

You don't get much better than this!!
We moved down south after living in Maine for several years & missed the incredible lobster rolls we used to get. I ended up getting these as a treat for my husband's birthday and he was ever so delighted. The rolls themselves are hard to come by outside of New England and if you can get them, you pay through the nose. This was the best of everything! The lobster meat was wonderful...just the right amount of mayonnaise on it too! And the quality of everything was just superb. In fact, I can't remember having a better lobster roll...and I've had lots of them from all over southern coastal Maine & various other New England spots. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPONTED!
