Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls - Seattle

Not a fanPerhaps I shouldn't have ordered this as takeoutI found the lobster roll way overcooked, chewy and gross. The roll soggy and the lobster inedibleThe potato salad was great tho

Very nice atmoshphere; the customer service was top notch, and my lobster roll was delicious. If you're in the neighborhood, give them a try, really good rolls.

Only regret was I wish I would've came to Masons sooner. Got the Connecticut Roll. Bread was perfectly toasted & buttered. Lobster was warm, substantial & delicious. Service was very friendly. Dining area was a bit tight and only one bathroom so the wait times could take awhile. Overall if you are craving a Lobster Roll this is the place to go hands down!

We were in downtown for a show and this was near by. My husband found it and we decided to try it for lunch.First, skip the tater tots. They only have an airfryer/oven and the tots are cheap and frozen.My husband ordered the BLT and I ordered the Lobster Salad sandwich.I much preferred the Lobster Salad over the BLT. But both were good and the bread is probably what made these. The lobster was ok, but in general I am not a huge fan. We would definitely go back and next time I would order the chowder or bisque to give those a try.

I love lobster , went to Luke's yesterday. Luke's got a 5 this gets a 4 well because it just wasn't as good. Was it delicious ? Of course!! But if you're trying to chose one or the other, I would now say Luke's after trying both.The guy at Masons was super nice tho and the price is a bit cheaper

I tried my first lobster roll maybe 10 years ago. This was my 3rd and I've been waiting for an outstanding place to try one again. Thinking it could never live up to the first. But it did! Chock full of large chunks of lobster, a smear of mayo and a soft roll. Very fresh. Right across the street from Seattle Art Museum which is a wonderful gem!

I was wandering around and looked up lobster rolls, this was mins away from where I was. Decided to stop by since reviews were good. I ordered the Connecticut roll $22.. it was good, they don't skimp on the lobster. This is the basic roll for me who doesn't like mayo.

So this review included my 2 visits here during the same vacation. This was my first time trying a lobster roll and my goodness I had no idea what I was missing. First off, this isn't my go to kind of thing. I'm not a huge seafood guy, let alone lobster. But I am a fan of the kind of bread they use for lobster rolls. Combine that with the fact that I felt it necessary to get seafood while in Seattle, I just had to order a lobster roll. I ordered the Classic Lobster Roll served with chilled lobster, lemon butter and mayo. The lemon butter helped to accentuate the lobster and balance out the mayo. The bread had a nice little crisp on the outside while maintaining a nice soft interior; it was the perfect vessel for the lobster. The guy working the register was pleasant, answered all of my questions and thankfully kept me in check when I was on the verge of ordering too much. Glad he didn't stop me from ordering the cup of clam chowder though! Anyways the service was pretty good here. The food came out pretty quick. When I ordered online for a to-go order, they finished it just as I walked in at the pickup time.

This is the kind of place I suggest staying away from if you visit Seattle.. it is "Kitchy" and tries to lure you in with the romanticism of a fresh lobster tail in the harbors of Seattle.. let me tell you... it's a trap.. About the food : I ordered a classic roll at the counter.. they serve it on a brioche bun of sorts that was grilled on a paninis press.. the lobster (3oz of mixed lobster including claw ) not all tail meat for sure.. was mediocre at best.. cooked meh... and not seasoned well at all.. it was supposed to be dressed but the mayo was watery.. served with a sliver of pickle , no lemon and no sides... total for this 25.50$ .... Save your money.. go to the market and enjoy some classics. For that money you can get a piroshki, a bowl of chowder and a steamed pork bun... Skip this place -- enjoy culinary adventures in the wonderful city of Seattle.. lots of yummy food to be found.. your fellow traveling sales chef - Jon

I was visiting Seattle and like many tourists, I rely on Yelp for eating recommendations. I was only way to the other famous yelp lobster place, when I stopped in a gift shop and started talking to the cashier about lobster rolls. He pointed me to Mason's, which was very close to where I was. I'm so glad I listened to him. This was one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had. The lobster chunks were big and fresh and the bread was soft yet had that outside crush and was warm and buttery. I got there about less than an hour before closing and the staff was very nice. I would definitely come back again.
