We were looking for a lobster roll and ended up at Jessica’s Garden. What a cool little spot!! We sat near the pond at a picnic table. You go up to the window to order and they text you when it’s ready. We ordered two lobster rolls, they were delicious!! They do have a small indoor seating area if you go when the weather is not nice, we were lucky to have a beautiful day. Bonus was that we were able to bring our fur baby along!!

It's a beautiful day in Connecticut and I'm in the mood for some outdoor dining, a lobster roll, but I don't wanna fight through the crowds of Captain Scott's Lobster Dock or drive an hour to the shore for any of those places out there. Only about a half-hour away from me is Jessica's Garden. Here's why my wife and I love coming here... Atmosphere/Appearance: Kind of out in the sticks is this gem, but many benefits of that are that there's private parking and plenty of it. Up the hill from where you park is where you go to order your food. You walk up to the counter to check out the menu or you can order from your phone. Hint, if you check-in on Yelp you may get a coupon to use online! Once you order you won't really be notified so just go to the other window around the corner from where

Highly recommend this wonderful place. Delicious and fresh food. Hot buttered lobster roll was perfect and came in a generous portion. Chowder was yummy as well as the fried fish/fries. We also enjoyed great ice cream and friendly service. Prices are very fair, haven’t seen a lobster roll for less than $25 for awhile! Pretty gardens, places to relax and sit, an indoor area, and even plants for sale. For the photographers, there is a painted wall mural for great photo ops.

A roadside seafood/hot dogish fair, i got the hushpuppies, hot dog w/ chili sauce etc..., and lobster roll. Pretty normal quality. The lobster roll was cooked tender and covered in ample butter, the hot dog was served with it's more onions than were necessary and the chili sauce was obviously Hummel canned chili sauce, not good. The hush puppies were good but small. No fried clams avaible until next Tuesday, not good. The pickle side was a good offering.

What a great spot to stop at! Great summer menu with a nice selection! Also an amazing garden area with picnic tables and plenty of room for the kids to roam around. A very relaxed atmosphere
