Alive & Kickin': Lobster Sandwich

[Prav]

Hey y'all, I'm really craving some sweet, sweet lobster flesh. Neptune's buttery hot lobster roll on grilled brioche is a little out of my price range (and slightly hard for me to get to) so I was wondering what Alive & Kickin's lobster sandwich is like. Has anyone had it recently?

Does it contain the hot buttered lobster, or is it the cold celery-laced lobster salad, which I dislike? What kind of bread is it on?

Would you hounds be able to provide a good description and whether it's worth it?

Yeah, I may be skippin' it for now, as I'm not a huge fan of the cold / mayonaise-y stuff.

Have you been to Rachel's Kitchen? (Fridays only)

Yeah, the Rachel's Kitchen version sounds like what you're looking for.

And if you ever feel like giving the cold lobster w/mayo version a try again, check out Belle Isle in Winthrop. Excellent, just chunks o' lobster with very slight mayo piled on top of a hot dog bun (i think it's toasted.) for around 16 bucks. They say there's a 1/2 lb of lobster meat in there, I wouldn't argue, certainly seemed like a LOT.

I keep meaning to check that out and I've been craving a lobster roll lately. Maybe this weekend is the weekend!

I got it once before and thought the portion of lobster was pretty darn skimpy for the price. But my needle could be off.

The bread is heavily buttered and toasted, but not the lobster.

It's a favorite of mine.

Yes, as Gabatta said, it's a yummy lobster sandwich, not a lobster roll. So don't be lookin' for butter. I think it's on toasted Scali bread. It was about $13 when I was there a couple of weeks ago. I like the people there. Seems to be family run, and they're always pleasant despite the busy pace. Maybe they thrive on it. I consider that place one major benefit of living in Cambridge. Do try it.

When we had the Alive & Kicking lobster sandwich a few weeks ago it was on artisan bread like you would make at home. Not Scali. It was deelish, though! Go for it.

That's weird, I've only seen it on supermarket-type scali bread, buttered and toasted.

[Gabatta]

Alive & Kicking has a lobster sandwich, not a lobster roll. The filling is chopped up lobster meat and mayo in the form of a chunky spread. It comes on thickly sliced buttered and toasted bread. It is very good and a deal at under $15.
