A great place if you are here in the Spring time. This place is considered to be a very great place if you like to be cozy. The manager was also very nice and also the food was very quick to arrive to our table. The food was also very delicious especially the Clam Chowder and the Crab Chowder was delicious as well. I would rate this 10 stars if I could.

This is a quick review of an iconic New England seafood establishment. Lobster Landing is a quaint little restaurant located in the quiet town of Clinton, Ct. With the space right on the water of Long Island Sound, you instantly get the "I'm down the shore vibe," which added to the authenticity of the experience there. You can see the history of the sea's effects on the restaurant as years of seawater has created a warped and almost museum like quality to the exterior. We arrived and were met with a small line, which moved pretty quickly. You place your order with the friendliest lady in front, then simply wait for your name to be called. There were two two ladies in the kitchen cooking, and they were pumping out orders quite efficiently. They have a pretty small menu with, of course, the lobster rolls being the star! We ordered 3 Connecticut style rolls, which are served warm with butter on a unique long and slender bun. Not the typical split potato bun you would associate with your classic lobster roll. I also ordered a hot dog with cheese for my daughter, lol. While waiting, I got some nice pics of the boats in the Sound as well as the lobster preparations in the shed across from the actual restaurant. Our number was called, and I retrieved the goods, so we grabbed one of the benches nearby to dine. There's a larger space of a dining area on the other side directly outside from where you order. Luckily, we beat the rush as a fairly significant line and formed while we were waiting. I ordered the standard size rolls at 26.50, which was a 1/4 lb. of lobster meat. They have an option for a 1/2 lb. of meat on the same size roll for 56.50, but we that to be an unnecessary splurge money wise. We all found the normal size rolls to be deliciously presented and prepared!! Proper rolls with warm, briny, and buttery lobster nirvana in each savored bite!! Even my daughter's hot dog was a great option as it was a large sausage sized( head out of the gutter lol!) doggie with a great snap and a surprising spice! The whole experience was such a treat as the service from the team there was amazingly friendly, chatting with us the whole time about our trip and their experiences working there. Lobster Landing is absolutely a destination stop when visiting the greater New England area, and we are counting the days until we can make our next visit there!! Cheers to all!!!

Memorial weekend, 1st time at Lobster Landing. Last year or 2yrs ago I visited but it was closed . But here I am. Visited on a beautiful day. I was craving a lobster roll. Gluten Free of course. They also had GF clam chowder. But I just got the lobster roll, it was a hot buttered roll. It was so tasty! Great price. Decent amount of meat . The lady working was very nice! It just made the start of Memorial Weekend that much better!

Just stopped by here on our way out of CT for the weekend. I was told it was a must have. Everyone was really nice and it was a very town like feel, very cute and quaint. I had Cole slaw and a lobster roll. Absolutely no complaints. Everything was so so good and fresh, keep it simple here and definitely give it a try. So good.

Lobster quality was great - tender, juicy, fat. Nicely buttered on cheap bread lol. Soup was meh. Got the lobster one which it was creamier and had more lobster pieces.

I came for the Connecticut style buttered lobster roll, and this place did not disappoint with the double. The lobster was so fresh and prepared perfectly with lots of butter and a touch of lemon juice. My only complaint was that the double roll actually contained too much lobster meat restive to the amount of bread. Next time, I will just order 2 of the normal size rolls to get a better ratio of bread to lobster. I also ordered a side of corn on the cob which was not great, probably because it was out of season. The point of this place is clearly the fresh lobster, so I don't hold that against them. The setting is rustic and informal. We ordered outside in their tent and sat at a picnic table on a dock overlooking the water. The staff were friendly and polite, but service here is minimal. Expect canned beverages and disposable utensils. If you're looking for authentic lobster of the freshest quality, this is a good place to check out!

What can I say that hasn't been said? You come here for delicious hot lobster rolls (none of that cold Maine lobster roll stuff here). They're quite good. Excellent in fact. What stands out is that it's not drenched in butter that overwhelms the lobster. And there's a lot of lobster. And best of all it's actually the toll. It holds up quite well to it and doesn't fall apart. Plus it's darn tasty. Oh and the clam chowdah is delicious. A great example of the soup. Seating was in picnic tables right by the water which was lovely. We didn't wait too long even in the height of a Saturday summer afternoon. Just go if you want a lobster roll. At $26, it provided an afternoon of happiness.

Lobster Landing was a bucket list place for me. I was so excited when we rolled up and I saw the building! And let me tell you, it lived up to the hype. Staff was extremely friendly and have my dog lots of treats! I loved that we could eat there with him by the water. Amazing views. The lobster roll was perfect. Packed with plenty of fresh warm lobster. The bun was even top tier. We couldn't resist getting the lobster bisque to try as well, and I loved that it had fresh lobster chunks in it too. This is so close by to the highway - if you're passing through CT, you have to stop here. No excuses!
