Yankee Lobster

Yankee Lobster is a casual waterfront seafood restaurant and market at 300 Northern Ave in Boston’s Seaport district. The setting reflects the area’s fishing heritage, with a straightforward counter-ordering format, a cozy dining room and a heated outdoor patio for dining beside the water.

The menu focuses on New England seafood, including lobster rolls, oysters, clam chowder, lobster bisque, cod cakes, lobster mac and cheese, fresh fish and shellfish. Lobster rolls are served both chilled with traditional preparation and warm with butter. A crab and lobster roll combines two coastal favorites, while the chowder and bisque offer richer, comforting options.

Seafood remains the central draw, with live lobsters and other shellfish handled through the on-site market. The market also carries fresh fish and seafood for home cooking, extending the restaurant’s dockside character beyond the dining room. The retail operation is suited to visitors looking to take seafood away as well as diners ordering a prepared meal.

For guests seeking alternatives to seafood, the menu also includes burgers, wraps, tacos and rice bowls. That range gives the restaurant a family-friendly feel without moving away from its coastal focus. Indoor dining, patio seating, a full bar and complimentary Wi-Fi add flexibility for lunch, dinner or a relaxed stop near the waterfront.

Takeout is built into the experience, with online ordering available for pickup and delivery. In the dining room, guests order at the counter, choose a seat and have the meal brought over. Yankee Lobster suits seafood fans looking for classic New England preparations, families wanting a broad menu and visitors interested in combining a casual meal with a look through a working seafood market.
