No way it is going to look as loaded as the roll in the picture @ $14.99.

Do share what it actually looks like....

I'm curious because the lobster rolls in naragansett actually looked like you got the money's worth...

Oh I bet they’re delicious!!!! Stew’s is great. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the same as the picture. Lobster prices went down but restaurants haven’t adjusted their prices.

Generally they give you about a quarter or maybe on a really generous day a half of what is pictured…

that lobster must be propped up on 6 ounces of lettuce to be that full on a 14.99 roll. but stews can afford some loss leaders too so maybe its a good deal.

Lobster rolls are a gimmick and were devised to steal money from tourists.

I've had Stew's lobster rolls. They cover the top with dried overcooked mealy claw meat to make it seem like it's filled with chunks of lobster meat then you find everything underneath is the stuff they scrape from the shells. Pretty weak.

I used to work in the bakery at the Norwalk Stews. I must warn you all, do not get any of the bagels. They cut corners with health standards.

They recycle the corn meal for the bagels and overtime it gets moldy. Their solution is to put more corn meal on top of it.

They think made fresh to order is special enough to write. Not like those Cumberland Farms lobster rolls?!

disclaimer, those don't exist thank God

Their cold lobster rolls are fine, appropriate amount of lobster for the money albeit with a lot of small pieces, but I’d be wary of getting something as lobster-quality-dependent as a hot lobster roll at a grocery store.

Even though there are no lobsters left in Connecticut waters?

Sure beats the $40 ones at Sono Seafood in Norwalk.

Yes, $40. You read that right

I don’t hate life. I’m from Maine and have eaten lobster my whole life.

There are so many other great ways to eat lobster, ways that aren’t as pricey and taste much better than lobster rolls do.

It’s a rip off. They should be serving it at half the price. Most of the time the lobster they’re serving isn’t even fresh.

Im just trying to point out the truth so people get better value.

Speaking of unseasonably warm weather, barely any of the lobsters we consume are caught in CT because warming waters have caused a massive migration to the cooler waters of Maine and Nova Scotia.

We have a fresh fish market and one time I splurged on 2 rolls. 1 hot buttered and 1 cold with mayo. For scientific purposes. The cold with mayo was better. IN MY OPINION. so relax Connecticut.

I don't care if I piss off CT, they aren't a real state anyway, JK. I follow all the surrounding states Incase something relevant comes up. I'm about a half hour from CT if I go down 84. But ya cold with mayo is better. If I want hot buttered lobster I want a hot lobster with butter

Advertising on the Connecticut sub. Not a fan of this. Perhaps I should post my 'favorite' xyz and tag the brands.. Can I post my business here? There are plenty of ways to share the sentiment and even seafood on the coast but this is an attempt at gorrilla/social marketing.

Well that's kinda the idea for all foods that we do more with, that and taste and variety. Like Chicken Salad or chicken nuggets even, make something new and make more money.

I'm more annoyed by advertising like this getting pushed through this subreddit.

How many headlines and posts can we write as marketing and post here. I can post about the weather and milkshakes and loving lobster rolls without taking the photo and tying it to a business.

The fresh part is true. When old lobsters are slow and dying they rip the arms and legs off while alive and freeze it. You can't use the meat after it died on its own. Rules/laws are strict.
