Small, family business with outstanding sandwiches, bread, and pastries. The lobster rolls are iconic, and deserve to be, but don't miss the house made pastrami sandwich. Haven't tried every sandwich on the menu, but plan to because everything is fantastic.

Fabulous bagels! Best jalapeño bagel I have ever had....heat was gently distributed throughout the bagel. Hubby loved his breakfast bagel. We visited 3 days in a row! Super nice owners. I drooled over the baked goods but never tried them.

Bingo! If you're looking where to eat you've found it! The reviews brought me in and I was pleasantly surprised that it's better than the great reviews. The lobster rolls did not disappoint and the grilled cheese was a killer too. A must try while in the area.

This place is extremely New England. Restaurants are of course typically a way of bringing in a taste of another culture, and though the decor has a seafaring theme, the coast is about the only thing that New England and South Carolina have in common. So this was an interesting find. Another thing that both cultures do have in common is that the traditional cuisine is not that vegetarian-friendly. I managed to find one sandwich, but the vegan diner would be left maybe trying a plain bagel (to be fair, these looked good). The sweets do seem to be their focus, and of several delectable options, I picked some sort of almond danish or something. The pastry was quite creamy and sweet. My sandwich, which I ordered on rye for a kick, had a freshly grilled taste. I would have preferred a darker rye, but the bread was at least noticeably more interesting in flavor than a basic loaf. I wasn't blown away by their sides and ended up with a tomato and feta salad. From my perspective, I would say come for the pastries more than the lunch options. I am surprised that there are not more high-end pastries in the area, and the ones here were mouthwatering.

A must! What I got: Lobster roll - warm with butter and a side of Cole slaw What to know: they close early so get there early. It's a hole in the wall type of spot and there's plenty of parking out front. How it works: walk up and order and they'll bring you your order! Score: 4/5 stars only because of cleanliness of the space near the beverage dispenser as there was quite a lot of mess and storage seen that was a bit unsightly despite the 'hole in the wall'. But it didn't deter us from thoroughly enjoying our meal!

Worth the drive off Hilton Head Island for delicious lobster rolls! Tucked away on a small strip plaza in Bluffton, this small restaurant serves pastries, coffee, as well as sandwiches and lobster rolls. Today, market price was $18.50 for a lobster roll they came with plenty of meat on a buttery toasted New England style hot dog roll. We normally prefer Connecticut style rolls over mayo New England ones, but these were absolutely delicious and not too mayo-y! It comes with choice of one side. Coleslaw was just average, there's other types of slaw and chips available too. This is probably the best value lobster roll we've ever had for amount of lobster meat, taste and price! We've had them in Maine, Connecticut, and elsewhere on the east coast and these were just as delicious. We came just before noon and the line was getting quite long as we ate our lunch. There are smaller tables, one large table, and one high chair available which our toddler appreciated. One of the employees even gave our toddler a plastic duck which she was enamored with. We will hopefully be back before vacation ends!!

This was a pleasant surprise. We were in the area and looking for a quick bite for lunch. I found this place on yelp, saw it received 5 stars and decided to give it a go. We pulled up and from the outside it looked closed. But, someone walked out so we k ew it was open. We walked inside and to be honest wasn't that impressed. The place is small, there wasn't much in baked goods in the case, and the sandwich menu is small. But we figured we are here...so eff it. Let's give it a try. My husband ordered the lobster roll and I got pastrami on rye. The pastrami comes with Swiss cheese and mustard. Not a fan of Swiss so got it without. The verdict.....both sandwiches were outstanding. The lobster roll was lightly dressed and the lobster was perfectly cooked. It comes with a grilled new england style top split bun. The pastrami was delicious. Not a huge sandwich but more than enough. The meat was grilled and the delicious rye bread toasted. I would go back at anytime just for the pastrami.
