Living on the East Coast, we are known for our killer lobster rolls. You haven’t truly lived until you’ve tried a lobster roll up in Maine, or Connecticut’s own version of it. While many of the North East states are notorious for their signature lobster roll locations, New Jersey is often left out of the conversation, leaving many to wonder where to satisfy their craving in our great state!
Jack’s Lobster Shack (Edgewater, NJ)
A fairly new joint, Jack’s Lobster Shack never disappoints when one is craving a good lobster roll. Serving both Maine and Connecticut style, this quick restaurant serves high quality lobster at a reasonable price!

Quincy’s Original Lobster Rolls (Cape May, NJ)
Another beach location for the win! Quincy’s Original Lobster Rolls in Cape May is known for their extra generous servings of lobster, paired with BOTH mayo and butter on their “Classic Roll”.

Red’s Lobster Pot (Point Pleasant, NJ)
Red’s Lobster Pot features to-die-for views at their “Dockside Dining”, paired with perfectly seasoned lobster rolls.
