I am from Maine originally, and people ask me all of the time what my favorite lobster roll in NYC is. I had yet to visit Pearl Oyster Bar until recently, and can say without a doubt that this is by far my favorite authentic Maine-style lobster roll in the city. Can't wait to go back!
I've eaten lobster rolls from Maine to DJ's Clam Shack in Key West. No trip to NYC is complete without a visit to Pearl Oyster Bar for an unforgettable meal every time. Freshest lobster roll in New York served with delicate shoestring fries! Save room for the chocolate mousse and some berry pie!

I love EVERYTHING about this place! Whenever I go to NYC, I try to eat at Pearl. I have beautiful memories of eating there with each of my children and my husband (getting all five of us together at any one time is almost impossible!) The Lobster Roll is heaven on a plate!! We have a family story about the lobster roll: It was during the "don't eat carbs" craze a few years back, and I was eating the filling, pretty much avoiding the bun. Our server walked by and said, "The lobster roll is really meant to be eaten with the bread." Haha! My son still uses this phrase, "Mom, this dish is really meant to be eaten as I prepared it." And of course, this is right. I make the blueberry pie from the cookbook all the time. It is so easy and delicious. Every time I bring the pie to a cookout, people say,"This is the best pie I have ever eaten!" Haha. I am no pastry chef. I have written enough, although I could go on. The service, the story about the place, the low key atmosphere, but especially the FOOD! The FOOD! I love Pearl Oyster Bar.
