A roundup of the best lobster rolls from coast to coast.
Lobster rolls are a coastal summer staple. But before we dig into all the deliciousness, let’s take a second to discuss the two distinct styles: Maine and Connecticut. Maine-style is served cold with mayo, while Connecticut-style is served warm with butter. Which is better? We’ll let you be the judge.
Of course you can find top notch lobster rolls in the Northeast, but did you know there's a legit lobster roll in Charleston and a pretty spectacular one in L.A.? Here, the best lobster rolls across the country.
