Bostwick's Chowder House
Where we've featured it

The most consistent, the most centrally located, and the most accessible, Bostwick’s lobster roll is the most utilitarian of the group. The consummate crowd pleaser. The lobster salad is finely chopped, with just the right amount of mayo and celery, and served on a traditional toasted dog bun. Money.

It’s not our favorite restaurant out East, but it’s the one that we wind up going to the most. Bostwick’s is the perfect spot to visit when you can’t decide where else to go, or just don’t have the energy to cook yourself. It’s quick, it’s casual, and the food is pretty good. The menu is seafood heavy, but there’s something fried, grilled, or on a bun for everyone. Our top picks: the hot lobster roll, the seared tuna, and the burrito-sized. fish tacos. There’s also a second location in Three Mile Harbor (north of East Hampton town) called Bostwick’s On The Harbor with great views, though the menu is different.
