Best Lobster Roll on the North Fork?

I've been craving Lobster Roll and haven't had it yet this summer. Where is your favorite lobster roll on the North Fork?

    I've been meaning to try the Lobster Roll at Southold Fish Market. I've heard it's among the best. Haven't been thrilled with any other. My favorite is the one at the North Fork Table lunch truck, though.

      We love the Southold fish market. That's our go to place for lobster and fresh whole fish on the North Fork. Cor-J on the South side.
      We'll have to try the lobster roll soon.
      When is that lunch truck open??

        We've been to Brauns and loved the steamed lobster they did for us. Would get it again in a heartbeat. Had their seafood salad too and it was great, big chunks of lobster, shrimp. Haven't tried Southhold FM yet.

      I haven't tried this, so I am just reporting on it. Last week at Braun's to go I saw a sign for a lobster avocado wrap...with buttered lobster, not lobster salad. It definitely sounds like it has potential.

        Our favorite lobster roll is close to the NF in Hampton Bays @ Canal Cafe, nice big chunks of lobster meat in Ciabatta. Excellent and a nice waterfront setting.
        The best on the North Fork is in Greenport @ Chowder Pot Pub. Call ahead since it is on their special menu but usually available. Nice waterfront setting too.
        Unfortunately Lobster Roll Northside is below par. Chopped up lobster salad on a hot dog roll does not cut it in my book.
        I heard North Fork Table and Inn in Southold was selling lobster rolls from their "food truck" but have not tried it. Call ahead. I drove all the way from Riverhead for lunch and they were closed.
        Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck has a decent lobster roll, also a special, call ahead. The same for Noah's in Greenport which was on the small side.

          I've had the one at Love Lane...it was good and I enjoyed it. Haven't tried Lobster Roll Northside as my impression is that it's the 'silver haired set", which isn't what I'm looking for. Also don't want slivers of lobster, but decent' size pieces. Saw someone eat a lobster roll at A Lure this past weekend (will never go back there-rip off royally), and it was a small portion. Ate at the Chowder Pot Pub for the first time about a month ago...enjoyed their food. Will go back and try there.
          Any more suggestions? :-)

            If you are located in the Riverhead area you'll get to Canal Cafe in Hampton Bays quicker than Greenport. If you are a local you have to get there in the off season when they have B.O.G.O. on Tuesday nights (or it is Monday??) Two lobster rolls for the price of one.

              What was the problem with A Lure? I only ate there once, back when it first opened, but I enjoyed it.

                I'll write up my review in a couple of days. In the meantime, don't order the cerviche.
