The dressed crab roll was really good regardless!
Tasted really fresh!
Street parking is available and there is also a drive thru option.

Happy New Year to the staff at New England Lobster! 2021 will be better for ALL of us!!

Old news, but during these times safety is a must. In doing so I do appreciate the outdoor seating & paperless menus that can easily be accessed on your cell phone. Not to mention they even have a drive thru option for convenience or curbside pick.
Having dined here twice I can say that I do adore this place! It is expensive, but as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." I would suggest the dressed lobster roll & lobster corn chowder.
Dressed Lobster Roll ($26.50)- A meal fit for one that comes with chips and coleslaw. To my surprise there really is ¼ lb of meat on it & is seasoned with the right amount of light mayo, salt, and pepper. Also both times the lobster meat was cooked properly & not rubbery. Just simple goodness that will satisfy your hunger. I've had them at other causal eateries for a similar price & they don't even compare!
Lobster Corn Chowder ($7.00)- Comes in varying sizes of either a cup, bowl, or quart. You are going to want to get your own cup because it is very hard to share! You haven't had the full experience unless you order the lobster corn chowder. A comforting & flavorful soup that is a must.
There is no view of the ocean here, but your taste buds will feel like they are at the beach!

I like how they have the "Naked" option for the lobster roll cause a lot of "lobster rolls" are loaded with mayo and extras.
If it's your first time get a lobster roll, chowder, and the blueberry lemonade so good and they give free refills.
They're open for takeout right now, currently no outdoor seating.
Shoutout to the staff member that gave us our refills and took our trash in for us during this time of covid. So sweet!

made chips were delicious! I was quite impressed because they were crispy and fresh, no hint of staleness whatsoever. The cole slaw was good as well and gave the meal an extra sweet crunch. What was convenient about this place was the ordering/paying process. We were able to leave after we finished eating without having to wait for the check. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for fancy lobster rolls!

COVID means staying indoors and doing a whole lot of DIY. Well, my bf and I had plans to make lobster rolls (the whole shabang with cooking, and deshelling them) and then he found out New England does kits!!! Whaaaa?! So he got the kit and wow the lobster rolls were sooo delicious. Normally my wallet only allows me to splurge on one but instead I ate TWO rolls in one sitting as did my bf. By then I was so full with the food coma kicking in.
The kit comes with the bread, lobster, Creole seasoning and Mayo . My bf used the pan to heat up the bread to give it a nice crisp. Felt like the lobster portion to bread was great and the lobster meat was super sweet. Definitely will order the kit again! Lol and I was so happy with them I started to tell all my friends :)

The most recent time that I went was October of this year when I met up with my friend for brunch on a Saturday. At that time, they had both outdoor and indoor dining with everyone pretty spread out. My friend got there first so she got a table that was indoors. I'd much rather stick with outdoors, but oh well. They now have ordering through the website which you can do easily on your phones so it's definitely safer and more efficient so people don't have to stand to wait in line to order like it did in the past. They gave us a placard with our order numbers, and the food and drinks came out pretty fast.
Service is friendly and pretty fast. I would definitely hit up this place again in the future whenever I'm craving some lobster rolls. :)

We got the cocktail shrimp, two lobster rolls, and the couple beers to wash them down with. It was perfect, the lobster is buttery and juicy. The roles that they're on are so soft. Highly recommend we will come here every time we are in or near SFO

We had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Currently, you order from the table by scanning the QR Code and placing your order online. They will then deliver it to your table.
Service was fast, friendly and prompt. We were in a party of four. I shared the Lobster Nachos with one other person as well as the Lobster and Corn Chowder with all members of the party. Both of these items were absolutely delicious and oh so good! The prices are competitive for seafood items in the Northern California area, and the portions were on large and shareable.

Love the indoor/outdoor seating. When you walk up you can choose where you would like to sit.
Due to COVID it is basically all contactless. It actually made the experience really enjoyable and efficient. When you get to your table you scan a QR code on the napkin box. This will take you to the menu where you also order & pay!
We started by sharing a pitcher of the Drakes IPA, which they give you mason jars to drink from (my fav!).
3 of us had the 1/2 lobster roll and 1/2 lobster corn chowder. The chowder was my favorite, it had large pieces of lobster in it and was so creamy and delicious! The lobster roll was very fresh! It is very lightly seasoned so we asked for some extra salt and pepper. Next time I might try the seasonal one that had avocado on it!
The 4th person got the whole lobster (1lb) and it was really good! Also very lightly seasoned. It was $20.00 (market price) which was very reasonable.
Great lunch spot if you live in the Bay Area!

And with that, lobster!
Just kidding, but it's nice to get a change of scenery and some good food from time to time.
I highly recommend this place after my experience trying their 1 lb lobster plate, which comes with fried potato chip-fries, coleslaw, and a spongey/fried bread stick. The lobster was FAT with meat, and I was completely satisfied. Was reminded of why lobsters are considered the steak of the sea (or at least I think...maybe it was tuna, idk). Only downside is that the coleslaw portion seemed too small to compliment everything else.
Other than that...there is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating options (not sure what the situation is right now with tiers). And there is little to no contact with workers since you order and pay solely through your phone.
I would definitely come back some day!

So far, this is the best lobster sandwich I ever tried in the bay area.
I dined in for the first 2 times, but due to COVID, I choose to pick up the order and bring back to dine with my family. I am amazed by how fast their service is.
I placed my order through Yelp at SFO airport right before I start taking off from the garage. When I arrived, I parked the car at the back of the red truck (which is the instruction they gave after I placed my order), immediately there is a waiter come to my car and ask me for my name. I told him, probably my food is not ready yet, because it said to need about 40minutes, where it was only 15mins while I arrived, but boom...my yummy sandwich is already well ready.
The food quality is still soo good as dining in.

I ordered the half lobster and half crab roll (tasty buttery brioche bun!!) but I gotta say... the lobster roll was more memorable. I guess that's why this place is called New England Lobster Market heh.

To my surprise, there was no crowd and the eatery was probably less than 1/4th full. I believe that everyone was probably out voting and we did arrive shortly before 5pm. This is one of those rare occurences in which you'll see something like this. I was happy because it meant getting seated quickly, getting our order in and receiving it without any wait.
One of our lobster claws that we bought on the happy hour menu was dried-out. Not sure how that happened but the meat was rubbery. I complained to our server and without question he replaced not just 1 piece, but the entire order. Really nice food, nice people, nice service!

Things I ordered:
- Sampler plate
- Lobster Corn Chowder
- Crab Roll
- Allgash white beer
- Duxbury (Massachusetts - Medium)
- Cherrystone Clam (Large)
- Fanny Bay (Canada - Small)
Everything. Is. So. Fresh. If I could eat here every day I would.
Sampler plate comes with peel off shrimp, lobster tail and crispy chips + lobster chowder are a must. Love dipping my chips in the chowder!

I ordered a few to-go orders:
Naked Lobster Roll = OMG so so so so good. I had to eat this literally outside next to my car b/c my parents and I had a few errands to take care of and it was definitely Hawaiian style! When I poured the butter, it wasn't hot anymore but that didn't affect the taste. The lobster quantity and quality were more than I anticipated so that was a good surprise. The brioche was good as well.
My dad had the lobster cocktail and it was more than enough for him. My mom also had the Naked Lobster Roll and she loved it as well.
The lobster corn chowder can get pretty overwhelming... we ordered the 16oz but I think next time around, I'll opt for the smallest size.
Not sure how this place will function post-pandemic b/c it requires a lot of bare hand usages but will definitely visit again, next time I'm in the area.
I would highly suggest ordering online and opting for pick-up instead of drive-through to avoid the long traffic of lines just to get into the streets. I made the mistake of opting for a pickup but instead, I ended up parking along the streets and walking to pick up my order.

Separately, the lobster corn chowder with the bun was really delicious! I particularly loved the bread. The lobster was tasty, but the bread was something I just couldn't ignore. I really wanted more!
Curbside pickup was a breeze! Pull in front of the restaurant behind the red truck and call the number on the online order receipt. If you come around 11am, it's not super busy. The restaurant gets incredibly packed around noon.
Also, if you don't want to use their outdoor seating, there's a park that you can walk to and have a socially-distanced picnic!

I got totally surprised by this meal by a friend for a decent pickmeup sesh.... and let me tell you.. my spirits were put back to 200% (coming from an avid seafood fan)... I'm more of a crab fan than lobster but I have to give this place the credit it is due.
This place has a lot of outdoor seating and even indoors the building is like large roll up garage doors or what not so the place has a very open feel even in old normal times. You can order to go or dine in. The parking is a bit cooky because there is a constant flow of patrons but even if you have to park 1 block over (totally worth the after dinner walk or roll depending on how much you consumed!!)
The lobster roll isn't my go to, but digging the bread choice for sure. No additional sauce or flavoring to go with the taco so you might have to get creative. I put some of the bisque on my taco and it was superb!! The slaw could work too. I'm more of a pesto slaw kind of gal or smaller chunks even... so I'll leave the slaw review to those who enjoy that sort of thing. Lobster tails are a great size for the pricing. I was far too distracted with our plates but looks like the kind of place you might be able to choose your own at some point or make some other type purchases at their walk up seafood deli station. Definitely a legit spot to grab melt in your mouth freshness.
Also for those that are super finicky because of seafood smells and the like... this place didn't have that. I was surprised that short of someone literally walking by with a dish there wasn't any heavy or musky seafood smells in the air... so don't hesitate to drop in and give this place a go. I think it's great for a first-timer too... great variety but it will for sure set the bar in quality.
My fav was the bisque and the oysters for sure... the flavors were just on point to surprising levels. I just drooled a little even typing this in memory... guess we know where I'll be in the next couple weeks #nomnomnom
