These Boston Restaurants Have 'The Best Lobster Rolls in America'

BOSTON, MA—Check-in app Foursquare says Boston has two of the country's best lobster rolls, to which we say, "Duh."

Obviously, Boston's got some of the best lobster rolls around. We here at Patch are only sad that this ranking didn't recommend even more.

The top spots went to two Maine lobster joins, but Boston did manage to nab numbers three and five on the "24 Best Lobster Rolls in America" ranking.

They are:

5. NEPTUNE OYSTER

This tiny oyster bar in Boston’s North End draws crazy lines for its hot, buttered rolls served on brioche buns. You may need to start off with a fork before you can bite into these giant creations.

3. B&G OYSTERS

No trip to Boston is complete without a stop at this South End staple. Don’t let the $29 price tag deter you--this meaty roll, topped with lemon and chive-spiked mayo and a touch of celery, is well worth every penny.

The list was published on Foursquare, and written by PureWow.

You can see the full ranking (along with some mouthwatering photos) here. You can complain about all the local greats that got the snub in our comments section below, or on Facebook.
