The Best Cape Cod Lobster Roll

Our search for the best Cape Cod lobster roll has ended. There are many establishments serving good lobster rolls on the Cape, ranging from exclusive resorts with 5 star dining to tiny fish markets, the size of your garden shed. The thing that the best all have in common is...Loads of fresh lobster tossed with a little mayo...Period! No fillers...No celery...No onion...Fresh lobster, mayo, and a fresh roll. Our goal is to guide you to the Cape's best lobster roll regardless of where it is served.

After much deliberation and a lot of incredible taste testing, our choice for the best Cape Cod lobster roll is...

Young's Fish Market


Rock Harbor Rd., Orleans (508)255-3366

Youngs Fish Market is a tiny place right on the docks at Rock Harbor. The lobster rolls are loaded with fresh lobster meat tossed with a little mayo and served on a hot dog roll...And that's it...Period...Perfect! They are only served to go. If you are looking for a place to enjoy the Cape's best lobster roll, walk down to the end of Rock harbor. There are benches on the edge of the beach, or you can sit on the sea wall and enjoy! For a special treat, coordinate your lobster roll feast with sunset. Rock Harbor features one of the best sunsets on the Cape. Our family has been known to travel miles out of our way to get these lobster rolls for the beach. Wash them down with an icy cold Corona...Ahh, Cape Cod at it's best!

There are two other places that we feel deserve special mention, as their lobster rolls were really exceptional.

The Raw Bar


252 Shore Rd., Mashpee (508)539-4858

The Raw Bar has a great lobster roll. The atmosphere is more "bar" than "seafood shack", with a Caribbean feel. The lobster roll features heaping portions of fresh lobster meat, tossed with a little mayo...Just the way we like them! Wash it down with a rum punch...You won't be disappointed!

The Friendly Fisherman


Route 6, North Eastham (508)255-6770

The Friendly Fisherman is a fish market known for its incredibly fresh, local seafood. It is located in a little strip plaza, and is easy to miss...But if you are looking for a great lobster roll, make sure you don't miss it!

Those are our choices for the best Cape Cod lobster roll. We hope that you enjoy them as much as we do. If you don't agree, or you have something to add, please fill out the comments section and let us know! We'd love to hear what you have to say!

Popponessett Inn Has The Best Lobster Roll
by: John

Our search for the best Cape Cod lobster roll led us to the Popponesset Inn at New Seabury. We had been told "You have to try the lobster roll at the Poppy". As we followed the meandering road through New Seabury, we could tell we were in for something special. The community is beautiful. Its streets lined with luxurious homes seemingly tucked neatly into each lot.

We arrived at the Popponessett Inn and made our way into the bar, where a table on the patio beckoned. The stage was set. From my vantage point, I could see two televisions, both playing the final round of the British Open, and gorgeous views of Vineyard Sound. As the light breeze cooled the sea air, I knew that it didn't get any better than this.

We ordered two Grey Goose seabreezes and two lobster rolls, and waited with giddy anticipation.
When the lobster rolls arrived, we were floored by the amount of lobster meat. The roll was literally overflowing with large pieces of tail and claw meat. There must have been two lobsters in each roll with just a slight amount of mayonnaise. Perfect!

If you are looking for the best lobster roll on Cape Cod, don't miss the "Poppy". There is no doubt, the Popponessett Inn has the best lobster roll on Cape cod!
