Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls

The lobster roll was okay. It wasn't as filled as I'm accustomed to so if you're looking for lobster you may need to do an add on for more. It also didn't taste fresh. The mayo used seemed a little sweet (almost reminded me of a milder version of miracle whip), and I wasn't a huge fan. The service was unremarkable and the environment was what can be expected for a quick lunch spot. Would I go again, probably not.

Very quiet location here, clean and plenty of seating. Ordered the traditional lobster roll with the lobster bisque. The flavors weren't very traditional, and the bisque was pretty bland with no seafood in it. The bun was great, nicely toasted.I wanted to love it, but it just didn't hit the mark flavor wise.

Ohhh Masons, ohhhh Cousins...I've had them both. I was raised in New England and my first solid food was lobster. I've had lobster in every state in New England and North Carolina (see my review of the Lobstah Shack in Topsail) and I've cooked many at home myself. I feel like I know a thing or two about this delectable crustacean. First, I'll start with your competitor. Your lobster roll is by far and away better. Point! Next, let's talk about the taste of the roll...deliciously seasoned sautéed in a perfect amount of hot butter - the Connecticut Roll. Yum!!!! Tender and sweet and not overpowered or overshadowed by the butter. The bun was warm and squishy -- perfect. Now let's talk about the "size/amount" for your money. It was decent, even above average I'd say. But here's the issue -- I got two "Bar Harbor" rolls (Connecticut-style), which is advertised as in including a lobster tail (whole) on top of the roll. I was excited about that. Neither of my rolls came with the tail on top. That was super disappointing :(. It's an upcharge so I felt a little duped but, again, still a healthy amount of lobster meat in the rolls. I couldn't make mention of it because I ordered it for delivery so I couldn't exactly go to the counter to ask about the tails. I also ordered a bowl of clam chowder. After reading many reviews, I was skeptical but it was pretty delicious. Flavorful and a good balance of clams and potatoes. I'm 65/35 on whether I'd go back again. Everything was delicious but I'm still sad about those two tails!

I had an order delivered one evening. What's there not to love about lobster?I thoroughly enjoyed everything! The classic lobster roll - is very good. The mac and cheese is also very good. No complaints here. The mac and cheese is even better as a leftover.

Simple & best way to eat lobster.Decent price , fresh yummy food. The toast is crispy & soft inside.Especially love the texture combined with the melted butter.

Very pricey. However, since I'm no stranger to lobster rolls, I knew that.If you parked downstairs, go upstairs to find it.Clean. Friendly. Competent. Delicious. Holy cow, this would be my new favorite hangout if it weren't for the first sentence of this review.The lobster roll was meaty and incredible. The shrimp roll was almost as good. Mrs. Vickie's jalapeño chips with ginger beer couldn't have been a better choice. Good God, I'm slobbing on myself just typing! If I find a rich girlfriend, she and I will be regulars at Mason's. Count on that. Even the dude behind the counter was mellow and fun. Excellent business.A.

The new Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls is now open at Waverly Place! This casual restaurant focuses on one thing, lobbies! Get it in traditional New England (mayo) or Connecticut style (warm butter) as a roll or you can do a lobster cheese sandwich, lobster salad or lobster mac n cheese. With a basic menu and quick-casual setting, you'll be munching on a fresh lobster roll, stat. The space is basic with a maritime theme with a self-service soda fountain. Overall a strong option for a traditional Maine lobster roll but of course, you'll pay a bit for that kind of seafood. Enjoy!

Yeah, the price seems a little steep, but my lobster roll was full of big chunks of real lobster. I had a a simple roll with butter on a traditional New England hot dog bun. Not fancy but exactly what I would expect if I was in Bar Harbor.

Love the sandwiches. They should have more dishes than what they serve. Is very expensive specially if you want more lobster in your sandwich

This has to have been one of the worst experiences. From the burnt butter smell that took over the place and carried into the bun, to the average lobster and less than thrilled staff who left tables and the drink area dirty, I will pass on returning this place.
