Walrus & Carpenter Oyster Bar: Reviews & Ratings
I went with the hot buttered lobster roll with chip for 30. It was a bit pricy but actually one of the cheapest options for a lobster roll in quincy market. I found it to be absolutely delicious and worth the price. The lobster was cooking perfectly and loaded with buttery garlicky goodness the roll was also toasted to perfection. The staff was very friendly as well.
Thanks Jordan for the amazing service and good foods on our last stop in Boston! The oysters were fresh and the clam chowder was yummy with big chunks in it! A must have with a Boston Lager on the side! :)
We got the #1 lobster roll combo with the clam chowder and a drink and everything was great! The chowder was thick and creamy, amazing! The lobster roll was the best we had in Boston and the staff were very enthusiastic and easy going! Loved this place in Quincy Market!
Yum, yum, yummi, Yum! This place was delicious! Located inside Quincy Market naturally it's not very big but the food was amazing. I was visiting Boston with my wife and cousin and we wanted to get a lobster roll and some chowda. I love a good raw oyster and after walking around checking some of the other places out this place look pretty good. The service was really quick they really got their whole process down. It also look like that they bake their own bread in this little spot. The Chowder was absolutely amazing! They did have a little station out front where you could get a free sample if you wanted to give it a taste before you got some. The lobster roll was tasty, good size portions, nice and tasty and based in some butter. The oysters were spot on. I asked him what type of oysters he had he answered local, LOL so I'm not sure if he actually knew what kind they had but whatever they were they were very tasty and he showed me how they came in fresh that morning. Going into Quincy Market is a complete Madhouse but if you there looking to get some oysters, lobster roll or chowder I definitely would recommend this place!
Amazing service. Cashier was friendly and patient. The lobster roll had a very good price to value ratio. The bread is hot and tasty, but the lobster is cold - if you’re looking for hot lobster then this isn’t for you! Overall, I loved it.
I like the clam chowder better than the lobster bisque, but both are great. Clam chowder was phenomenal. The bread bowl they used was perfect... Soft inside, totally delicious. They have beer here too - definitely a plus. You're probably gonna need a couple extra napkins, btw.
July 14, 2020 I wanted some oysters so I stopped here and got a delicious dozen! They tasted fresh and were absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend stopping here for some oysters and a cold Boston Lager to wash them down!!
Lobster roll was filled! Clam chowder was good and without pork! Lobster bisque was good too! Sit at the bar and enjoy!
