ENJOY THE KING OF CLUBS LOBSTER SANDWICH AT THE BRASS COMPASS
Tuesday, December 07, 2021

| The King of Clubs |
 |
| Delicious clam chowder |
 |
| The Brass Compass Cafe |
Rockland, Maine
Maine is known for its fresh lobster. One of the finest lobster sandwiches in all of Maine can be found at The Brass Compass Cafe in Rockland.
The King of Clubs is so good that it was declared the winner on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. You'll need your appetite for this one. This thick, double decker sandwich is packed with fresh lobster meat, lettuce, tomato and crispy bacon. It is so amazingly good. Somehow, I still had room to enjoy a cup of their clam chowder with this monster of a sandwich.
The Brass Compass is open for breakfast and lunch. There's a lot to choose from for both meals. For breakfast, there are a number of omelets, benedicts and specials like The Zoe, which is a grilled biscuit topped with haddock cakes, poached eggs and hollandaise. They also serve the ever-so delicious biscuits with sausage gravy. For lunch, there are a bunch of seafood platter and rolls, along with many specialty salads like the surf & turf Caesar and a salmon Caesar. They also serve burgers, quesadillas and wraps.
The Brass Compass is located in downtown Rockland where are plenty of shops to check out. They also have outdoor dining during the warmer months.

A TASTE OF SUMMER AT THE SEAFOOD SHANTY
Friday, July 09, 2021
 |
| Lobster roll and fries |
 |
| Order at the window and eat outside |
Bournedale, Cape Cod
For years, I've passed by The Seafood Shanty on my way to cross over the Sagamore Bridge and have always thought about what it would be like to eat there. Last week, I finally stopped to check it out.
The Seafood Shanty is a classic Cape Cod seafood restaurant. You order at the window and wait for your number to be called. Enjoy your meal outside at one of their picnic tables with a view of the Cape Cod canal.
I LOVED their cold lobster roll with a side of fries. So fresh and a nice heaping portion of lobster. I will definitely be back for this! Other sandwiches include fried clam, scallop, and clam strip rolls. There are also burgers, hot dogs and sausages for land-lovers. If you have a big appetite, order one of their plates like fried clam bellies, fried clam strips, and fried scallops - all of them come with fries and cole slaw. For dessert, there's a homemade ice cream sandwich, hot fudge and strawberry sundaes and a brownie sundae.
The Seafood Shanty is cash only. They have an ATM, but it will charge you to withdraw cash.

COUSINS MAINE LOBSTER
Monday, September 07, 2020

| Lobster grilled cheese |
 |
| Lobster tots |
 |
| Cousins Maine Lobster food truck |
 |
| Lobster tacos |
One of the highlights of this summer has been the Cousins Maine Lobster pulling up at Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The food truck became a national sensation on Shark Tank when its founders partnered with Barbara Corcoran. Now, Cousins Maine Lobster Trucks (and restaurants) can be found in cities around the country.
All of their food is phenomenal. Of course, there are traditional hot and cold lobster rolls. Those classics can be found everywhere, so I ordered some of the more exotic items. The lobster grilled cheese is fantastic. It's stuffed with cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. The lobster tots are also a favorite. The large portion of tots is topped with warm lobster, pico de gallo and a cilantro lime sauce. Cousins' soft lobster tacos are also a delight and are complimented with a cup of their clam chowder or lobster bisque. Cousins also offers a lobster quesadilla, shrimp tacos and a lobster tail and tots. There are kids meals and whoopie pies for dessert.
Check out their website and social media for where their trucks will appear next.

SIZZLIN' SUMMER SPOTS: THE KNACK
Monday, July 01, 2019

| Lobster roll |
 |
| Onion rings |

| The Knack in Orleans, Massachusetts |
Orleans, Massachusetts
theknackcapecod.com
The owners of The Knack say their goal is to perfect the Cape Cod roadside stand. Mission accomplished! They grew up on the Cape eating the lobster, the seafood and the burgers, so they know what they are doing.
The Knack is always hopping. In true Cape Cod fashion, customers order from one of their windows and eat outside. Start your meal with a shake, soda or a can of one of their local beers. Burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches fill their menu. The burgers look amazing, but this time I wanted to sink my teeth into some Cape Cod lobster. The lobster was as fresh as can be. I gobbled it up with some of their onion rings, which are light and crispy. They also offer veggie tacos for vegetarians, along with fish and whole belly clam sandwiches.
Save room for dessert! There's soft serve ice cream and homemade ice cream sandwiches. The Knack donates 10% of their profits on sweets to charity everyday.

90'S PUNCH & "OMG" ENTREES AT CONNECTICUT'S WOOD-N-TAP BAR & GRILL

| 90's Punch |
 |
| Lobster mac & cheese |
 |
| Salmon with asparagus & risotto |
 |

Newington, CT (with several other CT locations)
www.woodntap.com
The Wood-N-Tap Bar and Grill is popping up all over Connecticut. With dishes like lobster mac & cheese and drinks like 90's Punch, that's something that Eat Up New England can certainly get behind!
I've stopped by there Newington location several times and am always delighted by the vast selection of options on their menu. Apps include a cheesy skillet of Spinach-n-Artichoke dip (pictured above) with tortilla chips, flatbreads, Sesame Ahi Tuna, Monster Nachos, Maine Crab Dip, Chicken Fingers and Fried Mozz.
The drink menu is quite impressive. Sure, there are plenty of beers and wines, but I enjoy their unique cocktails. Their 90's Punch is a blend of vodka, Hub Punch and juice served in a drink pouch! It's one of their "OMG" options on their menu for creative food & drinks you're aren't going to find anywhere else. Wood-N-Tap also makes their own hard lemonades with flavors like blueberry, peach, raspberry, blackberry and strawberry.
Entrees run the gamut from pasta entrees like Blacked Chicken Pasta to pizzas like their Mac and Cheese Pizza, one of their "OMG" entrees. There are also several salads like their Chop House Steak Salad, along with traditional sandwiches and wraps. Over the summer, Wood-N-Tap offered several lobster apps and entrees. I enjoyed their hearty portion of lobster mac & cheese. Their Atlantic Salmon entree is absolutely fantastic. The fish is served with a cheesy risotto and asparagus. Delicious.
Stop by Monday-Friday between 3-6pm and after 9pm for Tappy Hour. A selection of apps and drinks are served for cheap at their bar.

Tuesday, June 06, 2017
The weather may be AWFUL, but we can still think summer by indulging in one of New England's mouthwatering lobster dishes. Doogies & The Clam Digger in Newington, Connecticut is known for their amazing hot dogs, but this time of the year they also sell a tasty hot lobster roll. Eat Up New England stopped by this weekend and enjoyed the large chunks of fresh lobster meat in their roll. It's served with hot butter and a side of cole slaw - all for just $14.99.

LOBSTER TOUR: ROBERT'S MAINE GRILL
Sunday, August 23, 2015
Robert's really is the place to go for lobster. There's a tank full of live lobsters on the left when you walk in. They'll steam one up or top off a cobb salad with lobster meat. Customers can even order a clambake for two which comes with a lobster.
Robert's is open year round, so you can enjoy a lobster even in the middle of the winter!

LOBSTER TOUR 2015: THE TAP
Sunday, June 14, 2015
It's been a couple of weeks since I enjoyed a lobster roll, so last night, I was off to The Tap Trailhouse in Boston. This restaurant is near all of the pubs by Faneuil Hall and offers classic American and New England fare.
This place wouldn't be called The Tap if it didn't have a full menu of alcohol. There are several beers on tap, bottles and cans of beer (including my season favorite Dell's Lemonade beer by Narragansett), wines, gins and mixed drinks. I wanted a sangria since it was so hot out. Would you believe they don't have sangria?!?! Ouch. I ordered a "Cobbler" (Oloroso Sherry, Crème de Cassis, Cinnamon, Seasonal Fruit) instead. It wasn't much like a sangria at all, but was still refreshing.
I enjoyed a kettle of clam chowder for an app. It's served in a little cauldron that's piping hot. My fiancée enjoyed their homemade pretzel sticks with dipping sauce. For dinner, it was lobster roll time. It had large chunks of lobster meat and was served with tasty homemade fries. Other entrees include chicken & barley stew, burgers and a seasonal spinach ravioli with artichokes and olives.
The caramel apple tart came highly recommended for dessert and it did not disappoint. This warm tart is topped off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The pastry itself was very flavorful and the whole dish was complimented by just enough caramel.
The food at The Tap Trailhouse is very good. They also offer brunch on the weekend which I am interested in trying. The only downside is this place can get loud. Union Street is the home to loud, partying college students on weekend nights. They often pack the bars of every restaurant including The Tap. They also check ID's at the door, which is a pain. So, if you're looking for a quiet, romantic night in Boston, this ain't your place, at least on weekends.

LOBSTER TOUR 2015: CAPE COD LOBSTER CRUISES
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
This cruise is the perfect way to kick off the summer with its breath-taking views of the Cape and its beaches. There is a fully stocked bar, where I ordered the refreshing margarita you see above. Not only do you get an amazing cruise, you'll also get a full meal. Check out that lobster roll! It was so fresh with huge chunks of lobster meat. I've been craving another one ever since!

LOBSTER TOUR 2015: SOLAS IN BOSTON
Thursday, May 07, 2015
This Irish pub has all of the traditional Irish dishes, along with some tasty bar food. Apps include nachos, their amazing house made potato chips with dipping sauce (TRY THESE!), potato & cheese dumplings, sliders, quesadillas and egg rolls. There's a Guinness onion soup on the menu, but I went for a pint of my favorite beer instead. The main menu includes a bunch of burgers, a homemade veggie burgers, chicken pot pie, mac-n-cheese, shepherd's pie and beef stew.
The hot summery weather was the perfect excuse to try their lobster roll. A large portion of cold lobster salad was served on top of some lettuce and a buttery roll. It's served with a huge portion of homemade fries. There were enough fries for two people. Who knew you could find such a delicious lobster roll at an Irish pub?!
