Looks delicious, but that’s not a lobster roll.

Whoever prepared it took “lobster roll” a bit literally. It’s lobster, atop a roll-like leavened bread product. It is technically correct.

Whoever made that needs to go play in traffic. Pretentious ass shit.

Not a roll

My guess is $80 for two bites, not including tip

That looks both delicious and hard to eat. The lobster rolls I've had in Boston are more of a bun-style roll.

I just gripped my dunks so hard, I squirted iced coffee everywhere. This is sacrilege.

This looks delicious.
Sorry for the stupid question: I know that I could search it up on the internet, but how was it a roll? Looked like folded bread/banh mi/bao with a few sauced lobster bits up on top. Was it before the pre-roll?

The name means just "lobster in/on a roll" - with roll meaning " a small bread" rather than the act of rolling something. This does look delicious, but it is also somewhat atypical of the dish as I know it. The bread looks underdone and untoasted and the lobster is just sort of sitting on top, weirdly. Typically, the lobster is loaded into a slice in the roll and there is much more of it. Paradoxically, you can eat a proper lobster roll without a knife and fork, but this one seems to demand that you use utensils.
A google image search will demonstrate more clearly, but I could describe it as "an unholy amount of lobster salad in a hotdog bun."
Also - worth noting: you can make a lobster roll with the shellfish dressed with either butter or mayonnaise/lemon. Differences are regional and although it causes mostly good natured fights, I think both are nice. This one appears to be of the butter variety.

This looks almost identical to the lobster roll I ate earlier this month in Portland maine at Eventide. Eventide came highly highly recommended as the best lobster roll in town but personally the pale fluffy bun and pile of mayo gooped lobster on top wasn't my favorite combo. I think I would have much preferred the bun to have some color/texture and to have buttered lobster.

From New England and grew up in a seafood restaurant and thats not a lobster roll. That aside it looks great and I'm all for trying new things! Glad you enjoyed it!
