Lobster Shanty - Salem

Everything here is made from scratch, from the food to the unique creations. The lobster martini is a distinctive offering that you absolutely have to try. As for the Guinness-marinated steak tips, they're...

The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and serves really hearty lobster. The flavor of the lobster itself was excellent, but the dish was a bit too heavy on the celery for my taste. The rolls and sauce were also noteworthy...

I have to say, the amusing sign caught our attention and convinced us to enter, and thankfully, the beer wasn't warm (thank you very much). It appeared they were a bit short-staffed when we first arrived...

I recently enjoyed my second lobster roll, opting for the Connecticut style served warm with butter, and it was fantastic! The portion was generous, featuring perfectly cooked pieces of tender lobster. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. They are following proper safety measures, and the tables are well spaced under a tent on the patio. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Salem.

We ordered takeout (thanks, COVID), and wow, we've never had lobster rolls this amazing, especially as takeout! We chose the Connecticut style (warm lobster with plenty of butter), and the quality and quantity of the lobster was outstanding. The fresh lobsters were cooked to perfection. They gave us so much lobster that it barely fit on the roll, and there were large chunks of meat in each portion, including an entire claw piece! The clam chowder was hearty, thick, and incredibly flavorful, truly warming the soul. I highly recommend this place; it's definitely worth the wait. (We ordered online, and it was ready in an hour. The time provided for when our food would be ready was spot on.)
