When it comes to summer, nothing captures the essence quite like indulging in a delectable lobster roll, ideally with a picturesque waterfront view. Whether you prefer the classic cold Maine or New England-style lobster salad roll with a hint of mayonnaise, celery, tarragon, and lemon, or the comforting warm Connecticut-style roll with succulent lobster meat drenched in melted butter, both options evoke the essence of peak summer.
Of course, there are numerous waterfront establishments throughout the area that serve outstanding lobster rolls. Dock Brown’s on Saratoga Lake, The Boathouse and Pavilion at The Sagamore on Lake George, and The Tipsy Moose occasionally featuring twin lobster rolls as specials are just a few examples. Prime at Saratoga National, a fine dining country club, even offers a seasonal lobster roll on their summer menu. Not to mention, Price Chopper’s Market Bistro’s lobster roll emerged victorious in a 2018 Times Union taste test. Several exceptional fishmongers such as Fin – Your Fishmonger in Guilderland, Hooked in Latham, and Moby Rick’s in Saratoga and Mechanicville have also mastered the art of crafting year-round lobster roll perfection.
But for our extraordinary 13-spot dining trail (14 if you count the two locations of one eatery), I have compiled a diverse selection of establishments, each offering a unique twist. From upscale rolls adorned with caviar to sliders paying homage to the lobster roll, and even an unexpected gem found at a popular drive-in where the chunky lobster roll is surprisingly wallet-friendly at $17.99, these culinary experiences range in price from $25 to $45.
