★★★★★ 5.0 John Paul Jones · Jan 2026

We went here for lunch because of another 5 star review. Outside the place looks like any other building around the nearby marina. Inside the place looks clean, modern and comfortable. They are becoming known for their bread bowl "bombs". The lobster bomb did NOT disappoint. There is a half pound of fresh lobster with rich lobster bisque in a wonderful crusty bread bowl and served with perfectly cooked house made french fries. We also had the calamari appetizer which was excellent. They make all of their deserts in house now and they have nailed it. The house made bread pudding was absolutely perfect. We sat in the bar area and the bartender served us. He was great and we NEVER waited for a drink refil. Fords Black & Blue has my highest recommendation and I cant wait to go back.

We ended up at Ford’s after a random “let’s go see the shoreline” kind of day with the kids a few months ago, and now I’m mad we haven’t been coming here forever. Yes, the wait was long. Like switch off who is chasing which child long. But the buzzer system worked, nobody melted down (miracle), and the views kept us distracted. Salt air, boats rolling by, kids climbing every rock they’re probably not supposed to stand on- that was the whole vibe. Once we finally sat down, the food sealed the deal. Easily some of the best seafood we’ve had. Super fresh, zero frills, just the good stuff. Clean tables, fast service once you’re seated, and a laid-back atmosphere that doesn’t make you apologize every two minutes because you brought children. Bonus: the kids were obsessed with peeking at the

I wanted to share my past experience with Ford's lobster by the sea in Noank...it was alittle wait time as it was extremely busy even with reservations...however,when we got seated right on the water facing the water it was so beautiful! Our waitress was fantastic and attentive! My dad and I both enjoyed a amazing lobster sandwich with chips and a bowl of clam chowder it was outstanding! So flavorful...it was a perfect day !

Fords was an absolute gem of an establishment - the bar side is stunning , the food you can tell is so fresh and cooked perfectly , and the most amazing bread pudding dessert 10/10 . Our bartender was attentive and so friendly . Fun seasonal cocktails . We can’t wait to come back !

So So So Good. On a trip to show my son my old stomping grounds! We visited Mystic Aquarium and my wife and I decided to NOT EAT in Tourist Trap Mystic. So she did some research and found Ford's. On a funny side note, after we ate and I posted photos on Facebook about going to this little hole in the wall we "Found", most of my Friends have been here and many come often. All asking if we got the "Lobster Bomb", which I would of if I knew earlier... Instead we received AWESOME, Friendly Service from the lovely and happy lady working the Bar area for Lunch on Thur 4/18/25. Our son got a Grilled Cheese and Fries that he LOVED. Mom and Dad split the Delicious Shrimp and Garlic Sauce for a lunchtime App then shared the Fish and Chips and the Regular Lobster Roll.. Added in a Pear Martini that w
