10 Mouthwatering Lobster Rolls to Try Around Town This Summer
There are not a lot of things better in the summer than a hot, buttery lobster roll (or a cold mayo based one if that’s more your speed!) Here are some mouthwatering ones to try around Atlanta, listed below in alphabetical order.
1. Atlanta Fish Market
265 Pharr Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305
Follow the giant fish to find lobster roll perfection. The cold, Maine style mayo-based roll is perfection according to our host/founder and Boston native, Steak Shapiro, while the hot and buttery roll is fabulous for those who prefer it that style. Plus the fries that come with?! Perfection! Something else that’s unexpectedly great at Atlanta Fish Market is the sushi!

299 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307
Another Chef Ford Fry spot, Beetlecat has one of the best patios in Inman Park and the best lobster rolls all over Atlanta. One hidden and unexpected gem: their brunch menu. Their glazed donuts are insane!
5. Fontaine’s Oyster House
1026 1/2 N Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
Fontaine’s Oyster House in Virginia Highlands is everything you want in a neighborhood spot, with an added plus of fun New Orleans vibes.Their lobster roll is not a traditional New England style roll–it’s more like a poh boy and served on a hoagie with lettuce–but they really don’t skimp on the portions of lobster. Their back patio is awesome!
6. Hook Line & Schooner
4600 W Village Way Suite 3009, Smyrna, GA 30080
Hook Line & Schooner in Smyrna is a truly excellent family-friendly spot with fresh seafood every which way you can imagine. They’ve got crazy good peel-and-eat shrimp, over-the-top desserts, and a buttery lobster roll that we dream about. They’ve got great specials all the time and another added bonus: their patio is also dog-friendly!
7. The Optimist
914 Howell Ml Rd, Atlanta, GA 30318
Chef Ford Fry’s The Optimist has been a stylish West Midtown favorite for their fresh seafood, and their lobster roll never disappoints. Their patio is always a vibe! Get an order of their hushpuppies too!
