Alive & Kicking Lobsters

I had the lobster sandwich at Alive & Kicking, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion was generous, and it seemed like they used an entire lobster for the sandwich. The lobster was super fresh, sweet, and flavorful, complemented by just the right amount of mayo dressing. Instead of a traditional roll, the sandwich was served on thin, buttery toast, which added a nice crunch without overpowering the lobster. While the price was steep at $33 per sandwich, the quality and portion size made it worth it. Parking was a bit of a challenge, as the lot is small, fitting only about 3-4 cars, and the location is tucked away in a residential area, making it slightly tricky to find. However, once you get there, the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend it for lobster lovers!

We went to this little restaurant with our friends. The food is delicious. The lobster sandwiches is good although I still have think I like rolls more than sandwich bread. The steamers and mussels are REALLY good. Will I go there again ? Absolutely ! Next time we want to try the steam lobster and I will get more mussels again :)

The lobster sandwich was honestly the best I’ve ever had! The clam chowder had a rich flavor that I really enjoyed. The oysters were fresh too. However, the store sold me the oysters even though they had run out of ice. (and charged the same price) I had to buy ice separately from a nearby store.

Took the whole crew (hubby + 4 kids) here while vacationing in Boston because, let’s be real—you can’t come to Boston and not eat lobster. This place is no-frills in the best way. Picture picnic tables, casual vibes, and outdoor seating that feels like you’re dining in somebody’s driveway. We loved it. We ordered the lobster special, lobster sandwich, and lobster bisque. Heads up: the lobster special was delicious but not teenager-proof. My two boys ate it and looked at me like I owed them a second dinner. Rookie move. The lobster sandwich was solid—my heart was set on a roll, but this was a satisfying backup. Now let’s talk about that lobster bisque. Listen… this was the best lobster bisque I’ve had in my life. No exaggeration. And I live with a husband who’s a professional-level food snob. He swears everything we pay for he could make better (and cheaper) at home. In 17 years, he’s only admitted three times that a restaurant meal was worth it. This was one of them. Order extra bread and thank me later. What really stood out, though, was the service. The young man who took our order was incredibly kind and knowledgeable—he knew the food and the business inside and out. One of my kids has a mollusk allergy, and he was so intentional about making sure there was no cross-contamination. That’s no small thing at a seafood place. He double-checked utensils and took it seriously, which made me feel seen and safe as a parent. That level of care meant a lot. Bonus points: they have live lobsters on site, and if your kids are curious (like my 11-year-old was), they’ll show them to you. My youngest called it a “learning experience” because she got to see the lobsters, oysters, and what she described as “sea things hanging on the wall.” Her words, not mine. Family consensus: “The food was amazing,” “They have really good lobster bisque,” and “This place is cool.”
