This was the spot where Ken’s nephew had to question where Lobster Gal gets her tips. What can I say, I don’t remember, someone somewhere said that it was great, maybe their favorite. So, it goes on the list and I try it out. He had a point, this was a particularly unusual venue. It’s kind of an independently owned 7-11 like establishment, well off the beaten track. 7-11 may be overstating it, this was smaller, more like a gas station convenience store, minus the gas station, hmm, curious. So, where you would normally order gas, you order a lobster roll. It took me a minute to figure this out since the only evidence that they sell more than beer and candy bars is a magic marker sign over the register area. They have three size options, we opt for one medium and one large. I get mine non toasted because, frankly, I prefer it, weird, I know. Went to grab some beverages, came back to the register and handed the guy my card. He said he was going to take Tom, or whatever his name was, the guy behind me so he could get out of here and my sandwich wasn’t ready yet. Tom proceeds to get checked out and have a five minute conversation with his pal behind the counter. Normally, as I’ve mentioned before, I couldn’t give a craps less about service and I still don’t. In fact, the guy couldn’t have been more polite about tossing me to the side and sure, he had a point that I didn’t need to check out right then. Heck, I’ll even give him that the “locals” are more important to him. I just thought it was off-putting that he be so obvious about it. Sort of screamed “Beat it outsider, we cater to locals here”. So, the actual lobster rolls, which we took outside to eat at the picnic table, were huge for sure, monstrously huge. The medium weighed in at 10 3/8 oz and the large was 13 3/4 oz. Ken and I split the large and cut in half it was still larger than most regular size rolls. My bread was very fresh and Jordan reported that the toasted was up to par and seemed to involve butter. The meat itself was good, very finely chopped and too much mayo for me. But, I could see why people like it. I did find what I thought was a piece of tail, but it was hard to tell with the small pieces. There were almost no spongies, even chopped and if I had to guess, I would say it was fresh. There was, curiously a lobster tank in the store. I felt kind of bad for them since they were piled about 4 deep and didn’t seem to be moving much. I hope they occasionally put some of them out of their misery. I would say that this was overall a good deal and a large roll and good, not great. I feel like the oddness of this place combined with the overchoppedness and overmayo lead me to think I won’t be back here, but I can see why others would. Particularly if you’re a local
