Move Over, Maine — The Lazy Lobster Officially Crowned Connecticut’s Best Lobster Roll

Milford, CT – September 15, 2025 — Connecticut has spoken, and the verdict is clear: The Lazy Lobster in Milford has been voted as serving the very best lobster roll in the state. With glowing reviews from locals, tourists, and food critics alike, this seaside favorite is redefining what it means to enjoy a true Connecticut-style lobster roll.

A Roll That Raises the Bar

Unlike the typical hot-dog bun presentation, The Lazy Lobster serves its signature roll on a freshly baked baguette—crispy on the outside, warm and buttery inside, and sturdy enough to hold a generous portion of tender lobster meat. Each roll is packed with fresh, perfectly cooked lobster, served warm and drenched in butter—the authentic Connecticut way.

Customers consistently call it “perfection,” with one review raving: “Best lobster roll ever—hands down! Fresh baked bread, perfectly cooked lobster… you’ll never want to try another place again.”
