Perfect stop on the way home from the shore. Had the clam chowder and CT rolls. Delicious. Reeks of summertime. Bar opens at 3, but you can buy beer and wine at roll checkout. Loved it

We stumbled on this place and I am so glad we did. It’s the perfect after-beach late afternoon happy hour place. The lobster roll was top notch and the Cowboy Prime Rib was fantastic. I’ll definitely come back for the perfect casual summer vibes.

The Pit is a great little spot to take the family on the weekend, listen to some live music and enjoy a great lobster roll. Loaded to the top with lobster, it was absolutely delicious. We also ordered their tuna ceviche and lobster guacamole. Both hit the spot as well. The seating area was cool because it also had a full bar for you to sit back and relax. Overall it was a great dining experience and the food was fantastic.

Amazing pit stop to grab some delicious succulent lobster. The Cali roll with a suttle piece of lobster and the butter lobster roll were soo good and sufficient meat, service is great wholesome and good people. The tuna ceviche was excellent with grilled corn and the seasoning was fresh but a good bite!
