The lobster rolls may be tiny, but each component is made with he highest quality ingredients that you quickly forget the size. Buttery, toasted potato bun + light, chunky filling makes an ideal roll

Whiskey ginger cocktail and oysters were the only things worth it from my meal. $30 for a small lobster roll and fries (though delicious) just ain't worth it. Fish and chips only come with one piece.

Their lobster roll, served with a pile of near-perfect fries, is our pick for one of the best in the city. Don't miss it!

Burger was excellent, the pork bun roll used is on point. Lobsta roll smaller vs other restos and cost just as much so...🤷‍♀️ also give choc mini lobsters at the end gratis

Start with some oysters and margarita (my fave in nyc) get the lobster roll, and end with a blueberry creme brule and ice cream sandwich. Yes, both desserts. This is a place where you don't hold back!

Skip the lobster roll and go straight for the lobster ravioli. Bring a friend: it's a hefty dish. The PEI mussels are also a great deal, so start with that with a side of grilled veggies.

The lobster roll was delicious! My favorite one in the city.

It may be Ed's Lobster Bar, but we love the fried Ipswich clams. They're juicy and nicely briny, with a clean crunch. So good you probably won't even need the accompanying lemon or tartar sauce!

Everyone comes for the lobster rolls. I thought they were overpriced ($30) compared to Lobster joint which is much more affordable ($17) for just as much meat. All in all a good lunch spot
J CrowleyJuly 10, 2013
Fried clams (whole belly) are outstanding. Lobster roll is pricey but good. Clam chowder? More like potato soup. Meh. The real winner - the Arnold Palmer. Best I've ever had.

Great place, but after having Luke's, it's hard to pay the $20+ for the lobster roll here when I love what Luke's does. Ed's is heavy on the mayo, fwiw. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

If they're on special, try the $4 slider. It's a bacon-wrapped battered deep fried oyster on a twee little bun with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Three or four bites of deliciousness. You're welcome.

Get the lobster meatballs if they're offering them (wed and sat usually) but make sure you have someone to share them with. Also try the oyster sampler.
Ina LiMarch 4, 2015
Lobster bisque, calamari, mussels are all good. The Cesar salad has so much Parmesan and crouton I don't even know if it's good or bad
Spiros TheocharisAugust 20, 2016
The lobster roll was majestic!! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Prices were reasonable for what they offer!! Wow!!
Steven BriderDecember 29, 2013
Great first experience. Mussels with the lobster broth was some of the best mussels I ever had. Lobster ravioli was really good. Can't wait to come back to try more things.
emeFebruary 21, 2015
Skip the lobster roll and go for the broiled and/or steamed lobster. It is the best value. Delish soups as well. Finish off with the blueberry creme brûlée.

If you're looking for a delicious lobster roll you should choose here. And their schimp cocktail is also good. But a little bit expensive.
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 28, 2020
Great lobster rolls, amazing fries, good chowder (little water y but i liked it was not so heavy)
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015
The lobster roll is plentiful of chunky lobster meat in mayo and chive garnish crammed in barely split butter-brushed bun; includes nice addition of crunchy fries and pickle on the side. Read more

Serving lobster steamed, grilled, broiled, in burgers, pasta, pies and rolls, Ed’s is the place to come for lobster in New York. We tried the lobster roll paired with a fresh white wine – delicious!

Lobster rolls and oysters here are great, but I had the pan seared scallops last night and they were the best thing I've eaten in ages. Try it!
Evan ChenSeptember 2, 2014
Try their lobster roll...you can't go wrong. Or get their clam linguine if you want something other than lobster.
Rebecca PalmerAugust 14, 2013
Lobster roll was full of large chunks of lobster, v tasty, washed down with a lovely glass of napa valley sauv blanc, oyster tasting plate was excellent as well
PJ DimalantaJuly 2, 2015

This is my favorite restaurant of all time! Start with something off the raw bar. Then get the Lobster Roll with fries on the side. The pickles are amazing. Wash it all down with a Kwak beer.
Nef NefJune 12, 2018
Great mac n cheese! Very reasonable prices. Needs to book a table! Only negtive it is too noisy
DevontaFebruary 28, 2015
The Lobster Ravioli is AMAZING! The sauce just melts in your mouth. I prefer the Ravioli over the Lobster Rolls. Give it a try.

Best lobster roll in the city hands down, and you can add some cold water oysters to that stellar Cesar but don't forget the lobster ale
ZenFoodsterAugust 17, 2015
Quality not on par w/ pricey bill. Clam chowda-watery & bland w/1 clam; Lil' oyster-masked by taste of bacon in cold, limp slider bun; fried calamari-overcooked & rubbery; Fries-best of lot. A No-Go!
Zachary Adam CohenAugust 25, 2011
Ed's Lobster Bar concept expands to it's third location on one of the best eating blocks in the city. Clean. Fresh. Inviting. Impeccable food. Order anything. Be happy.

Seriously this place is the best. I come from chicago once a year to eat here. Get the ravioli
The Corcoran GroupAugust 15, 2011
Don't even bother with the small Lobster Roll, go for Ed's sized, and make sure you have his world famous pickles. They're a perfect compliment.
Maria KNovember 25, 2017
The oysters were delicious, and the lobster roll amazing. Would recommend grabbing a seat at the bar.
Raul ReyesNovember 26, 2018
Been there several times and it's always amazing. Lobster bisque and ravioli were awesome.

The lobster roll is one of the best you can find in the city, if you want to eat pasta try the lobster ravioli.
Mansour GadiMay 13, 2017
Very good lobster roll
Annie JAugust 27, 2013
Been a couple times already. Lobster roll is ok but prefer Luke's. Didn't care for the lobster pot pie. Fish & chips were good. Oysters were delicious with good selection.
Berna TOctober 28, 2014
Simply an amazing experience! Lobster roll and ravioli are the best you'll find in the city.

Excellent and friendly service - and the food is even better! The lobster roll is out of this world.

Eggs with lobster are a MUST! Grilled lobster amazing and great Chardonnay by the glass!

Won’t find a better lobster role anywhere! Worth the price
Tom DiMaggioMarch 5, 2013
The bisque, the roll, and the ravioli are excellent. Definitely a must if you're in the mood for lobster.
alphacityguidesNovember 27, 2012
Lots of tempting options, but if it's your first time stick with the lobster roll. It's (arguably!) the best thing on the menu!
Leatrice JonesJune 12, 2015
Lobster bisque was great. Calamari very flavorful
Lears FoolNovember 23, 2015
Excellent happy hour oysters (try them all,) but skip the oyster slider.
Nikolai YakovenkoMay 6, 2012
Lobster roll or lobster ravioli? Depends if you want hot or cold. Both are excellent. Also very good for champagne & oysters.

Great Bib salad - good for 2 or as a main meal. The very best lobster roll!
