320111 Wed Aug 23 17:08:12 -0700 2006 17 19 Outer Boroughs 0 1827737 The Glendale Stop and Shop (or Forest Hills) on Union Turnpike sells a lobster roll from the deli counter that's just $4.99. The lobster salad is just lobster meat and mayo, with lobster meat in big chunks, not chopped up. They sell the lobster salad for $20 to $25 a pound, but none of the counter personnel weigh out the lobster salad before they fill the roll. They just fill up the hot dog roll until it looks right. I think I'm usually getting about a half-pound of lobster. This is a helluva meal. Wed Aug 23 17:08:12 -0700 2006 27287 BigGuy 1 1827746 Big Guy, How does it taste?? Sounds too good to be true. JK Wed Aug 23 17:10:23 -0700 2006 1827737 11061 johnk 1 1827808 It tastes very good. In four visits, I've had six lobster rolls. Twice I ordered a sandwich to eat while I shopped, and then went back to get a second sandwich after I finished the first. The counter help really appreciate people ordering the sandwich because then they can justify tasting the lobster salad, just to make sure its "alright". Hmmm. Sometimes they don't have the hot dog rolls right there so they ask you to wait for a few minutes. It's worth the wait. Wed Aug 23 17:25:06 -0700 2006 1827737 27287 BigGuy 1 1827866 Sounds better than the 24 bucks we sometimes pay ( When I don't go to the Korean supermarket on Northern Blvd. in Flushing, pay 6.99LB for 1-1/4lb size lobsters and make my own) for one at the Mermaid Inn on 2nd Ave. in NYC. Thanks for the heads-up!! Regards, JK Wed Aug 23 17:36:51 -0700 2006 1827737 11061 johnk 1 1827897 wow thanks for the tip--better get there before the management realizes how much they are losing on that sandwich... Wed Aug 23 17:43:31 -0700 2006 1827737 16728 kenito799 1 1868808 I tried the lobster roll the other weekend and it certainly is a bargain. It had nice big chunks of lobster (I think mine included something like 3 full claw pieces, no joke). The only thing I wasn't crazy about - and it might have been just that day's version - was it had a little more mayo on it than I usually like. Mon Sep 11 18:15:11 -0700 2006 1827737 16476 gravitch 1 3596630 Stop and Shop has actually lowered the price for the lobster roll. It's usually $3.99 and 3 for $10.99; that's the sale price, but it's usually on sale every other week. The fish counter personnel are no longer over filling the roll, though. Tue Apr 15 11:27:38 -0700 2008 1827737 67344 Boleslaw 2 3881454 Back up to $4.99 for one. 3 are $12.99 and well worthi it. Fri Jul 18 13:28:35 -0700 2008 3596630 67344 Boleslaw 1 4825638 The rolls are now $4.50. They're still as good as they were three years ago. Thu Jul 02 15:52:54 -0700 2009 1827737 27287 BigGuy 2 4825912 Try the ones @ Sage General Store in LIC on Fridays.... Thu Jul 02 17:40:57 -0700 2009 4825638 67604 fcara 1 4836216 They're on sale this week -- three for $10.99. Here's the link to the Stop and Shop circular, with a photo of the roll. Glendale, NY. http://www.stopandshop.com/savings/circular.htm Tue Jul 07 08:34:27 -0700 2009 1827737 27287 BigGuy 2 4837405 Thanks for the tip! I dropped by today and got 3 for 10.99 before taxes. I've never had lobster rolls before, but this was a lot more meatier than I expected. The store is also a few minutes away from Trader Joe's. Tue Jul 07 14:49:05 -0700 2009 4836216 29746 sharonj 3 4838474 this is definitely something where I'd probably de-construct, and re-construct, and have a beautiful, delicious lobster roll combination of some sort. coooooool. Tue Jul 07 21:58:24 -0700 2009 4837405 12656 bigjeff 2 4837454 a very blurry photo! but . . . sounds good. i see it's also at the one on grand ave in maspeth which is pretty close to me. will have to hit it up for the family pack. Tue Jul 07 15:12:01 -0700 2009 4836216 12656 bigjeff 3 4837628 Sorry for the dark pics, that's what I get for viewing photos on a laptop. This two should look better. Tue Jul 07 16:17:03 -0700 2009 4837454 29746 sharonj 4 4840524 The Stop & Shop on 48th Street in LIC has them, too - just had one - $3.99 - and it beats the one I had for $13.00 on the Connecticut shore last week, even though I prefer the plain-lobster-with-melted-butter over the mayonnaisey variety. Big pieces and on a potato roll, too - which helps a lot, I think. And more subway-friendly than Glendale. Wed Jul 08 13:15:32 -0700 2009 4837628 174520 grisaille 5 4844455 went today...yum! great deal 3 for 10.99 they sell the meat for 29.99 per # now they weigh them before thy make them 3oz per roll, actually that stuffs them full Thu Jul 09 16:14:30 -0700 2009 4840524 90996 chefjellynow 6 4844909 Which means you are getting $5.63 worth of lobster salad in each roll. I knew that was a bargain! I bought a pound once and some mini rolls to serve at a party. I would have been better off buying six lobster rolls and scraping the salad off!
