T Stands for First Lobster Roll of the Season

 

Himself read that someone on the town Facebook page was asking where to get to the best lobster roll. There were quite a few suggestions, but JP's Pub in Westboro (of if you're fancy, Westborough) came up.

We were going to be in Westboro at an appointment so decided to go a little early and stop for lunch. It wasn't the best day to have lobster. It was cloudy and chilly, but we had our minds set for lobster roll.

JP's is a little hole in the wall located in the Ocean Stat Job Lots plaza. The place was cozy, decorated with sports memorabilia and a popular spot for weebles (old people). We fit right in.

The restaurant  had an extensive menu and the lobster roll was a daily special. It came with a choice of Cole slaw or French fries (crisps). I had the fries.

This lobster roll was lobster salad. Lobster meat mixed with celery and mayonnaise. I usually prefer my lobster roll with lobster and a side of drawn butter. Lobster salad is usually more celery and mayonnaise mixed with a little, shredded lobster.

JP's lobster roll was the opposite. There were generous chunks of lobster and not too much mayonnaise. (I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise) It was all packed into a New England hot dog roll. (The opening is on the top instead of the side)

The restaurant didn't have an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade and half iced tea), but the waitress said she could make it for me. 

The only down-side was the restaurant only took cash. There was nothing about cash only on the website or the door of the restaurant so you didn't find out you needed cash until the bill came and the waitress said we don't take debit or credit cards. There was an ATM at the back of the restaurant so we were able to get cash. The ATM fee was $1.00 so not too bad. 

Other than not knowing about cash only, it was a very nice lunch.
