This Riverfront Restaurant Just Might Have The Best Lobster Rolls In All Of Connecticut

Is the best lobster roll in Connecticut served halfway up the Connecticut River in Rocky Hill? Many who have tried it claim that the answer is "yes." Sorry, Shoreline dwellers!

Shad Row bills itself as an "edgy eatery." The vibe and the menu are both half-seafood shack, half landlubber.

Of course, the lobster roll adds weight to the seafood shack side of the menu. Is it really the best lobster roll in the state? You'll have to decide for yourself!

Meet the lobster roll's equally delicious cousin, the clam roll.

Shaw Row overlooks the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury ferry, which is the oldest continuously running ferry in the state. The restaurant also offers docking for customers arriving via boat.

Sipping on one of the restaurant's signature frozen concoctions as you watch the ferry go back and forth across the river, you'll feel like you're on vacation. All of the drinks are non-alcoholic; the restaurant is BYOB.

Daily specials highlight the kitchen's creativity and skill.

Regulars love Shaw Row's melts. Doesn't this one look delicious?

There's only one way to finish off the ultimate summer meal: ice cream.

Shad Row is one of the most popular seasonal restaurants in Connecticut, so arrive early on weekend nights! Even if you have to stand by for a little while, the views and the vibe will make the wait go by quickly!
