Early this month, we were out running errands as lunch time rolled around. We decided to stop at our favorite 99 Restaurant as the seasonal menu featured the Hot Buttered. Colossal Lobster Roll. It was one of the first really nice days of the month. A Goldilocks kind of day. Too nice to sit inside the restaurant. The restaurant did try to make an outdoor space. A few picnic tables and plants outside in the parking lot. The only problem is the parking lot is ripe with the heavy tang of asphalt. Not a smell conducive to eating.
We decided to get take-out because the sun room was the perfect place for lunch. A lovely view of the yard even if the lawn guy was over due to mow the lawn.
We ordered a new appetizer called a Seafood Stuffie, scallops and shrimp stuffed and served on a on a scallop shell. So pretty.
Hot Buttered Colossal Lobster Roll on a Brioche Bun (their fancy term for a toasted hot dog bun 😺). The entrée was beautifully plated on the finest paper plates served with French fries (chips) and a side of Cole slaw all washed down with iced tea.

Your food looks so delicious, lovely view to the garden, the seafood stuffie sounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteour first trip to see our son who lived in Boston at the time, our DIL took us out and we saw lobster rolls and chips, how disappointed were we when we realised they didn’t mean fries, now I always remember not to order chips thinking they are fries.
HappyT T day

Yup, though we speak the same language, we can't understand one another 😺
DeleteYummy. I went to the 99 last week after Tower Hill (the one at the end of 290 in Hudson) and didn't see Lobster rolls on the menu. Maybe I was just too hungry and tired to catch it. Smile. Yours looks really really yummy. And the seafood stuffie looks good too. And I do love your good china. But that is perfect for a lobster roll. Have a great T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYou had to look under the Seasonal Heading on the Menu, and I'm surprised the waitress didn't say anything to you about them being on the menu. Stay cool
DeleteI am looking forward to one of their colossally delicious lobster rolls. Keep cool.😎

ReplyDeleteCheers

DeleteOh my, that lobster roll looks amazing! We don't have them hear as lobster is so expensive but I love them so much - delish 😁. Enjoy and Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteAnd to think lobster used to be served to in prisons until the Great and Good got a taste of it. The prices are expensive, here, too, but it's so worth it.
DeleteOh Wow your meal looks so delicious-I have never lived anywhere to get a lobster roll. You chose the perfect spot to enjoy Happy T wishes
ReplyDeleteThe sun room is to me like your deck is to you. A happy place.
DeleteOh, I wish I liked lobster!
ReplyDeleteNo. I´m glad I don´t, I´d be the saddest person as I don´t live by the coast!!!! Sadly, very sadly.
I´m happy for you, though! :-)
Happily, the restaurant serves other foods besides seafood. You can order what you want.
DeleteHad to laugh at your prices for lobster roll. I've never had lobster roll and that I know of, I've never had lobster, either. I know they are more expensive in KS because they have to be flown in. The last time I was at Red Lobster, lobsters started at $35.00 lb. I'm sure they are much cheaper where you live.
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing that beautifully plated feast on the finest paper plates. In fact, that sounds like my kind of take out. That Stuffie looks good, too. I'd save the shell to go in my art (grin). Thanks for sharing your lobster roll and iced tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
They don't grease the shell before they bake the stuffie so it's very hard to clean. I do have other shells I have saved.
Deletea lovely spot to have that utterly delicious looking meal- I want every bit of it!! Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteI ate every bit, too!
DeleteLooks like you made the right call with take-out. Y'all have the perfect spot! Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot nicer than eating in a stinky parking lot
DeleteFinest paper plates. Hahaha. Sounds like what we serve on:) And what a purrfect place to eat your lovely meal:)
ReplyDeleteThat view was one of Ink's favorite spots to view the birds and critters.
DeleteI love lobster rolls but unfortunately live far from the ocean, so it's not usually available where I eat. You are lucky to be in a lobster roll heaven.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Indeed
DeleteWhat a delicious looking meal, especially the lobster roll. Sounds like the perfect food for a summer cookout.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
It was perfect
DeleteI want a lobster roll so badly! We need to go to Maine again! Happy T Day1
ReplyDeleteA good place to get lobster.
DeleteTHAT looks mouth-wateringly delicious! OMG!
ReplyDeleteTheir lobster is so good.
DeleteYOur food looks and sounds wonderful, CJ! Wow. I so want to go visit your area and have a real one (even a fake one would be good but nothing like it around here). Great pictures! Happy late T-day!
ReplyDeleteLots of great places for lobster all along the New England coast
DeleteNice looking lunch. Glad you were able to get out and about. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to get back to a normal day
DeleteSooo appetising! I think I'll have to pop round and join you....I wish....!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you made good move to take it home to enjoy! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
Like Dorothy told us, There's no place like home
DeleteYour food looks utterly delicious! That lobster roll in particular. Erika also raves about lobster rolls. I've never had lobster, but I imagine it would taste a bit like king prawns.I wish I could join you.
ReplyDeleteWe do have coleslaw here but it looks different to yours. Our looks different, it is yellow and white.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
This Cole Slaw was made with ( white ) cabbage, shredded carrot, and a dressing made with mayonnaise.
DeleteNow that looks a nice lunch!
