Jessica's Garden and Lobster Shack - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Enjoyed the most delicious lobster roll! I did take out and was very impressed that the very generous portion of buttery lobster was packaged separately from the bun allowing the roll to stay wonderfully grilled!

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.

What a gem of a place and the 🦞 roll was a home run!

Got the berry patch from Jessica's Garden, the pictures of it made it seem that it was fresh, what I got was a sloppy mess in a plastic tub. After i had gotten to work I realized after I opened it up that it was not what I had ordered. After I had called the girl working there said "oh its frozen, all of our stuff its like that". So beware that they dont have fresh food and its all frozen and it was not worth the $12. Thats why I dont like to go out and spend money but I was trying to help out the small places cause it was supposed to be fresh and hand made.

Spicy lobster salad with avocado was excellent, I would go back again again for that! My husband got the hot lobster roll and he said it was great. Our order was to go and they packaged it up the right way…. The hot lobster was in its own sealed container, the grilled bun was separate…smart. They didn’t make the roll and dump butter all over it so he didn’t end up with a soggy roll. We look forward to going back and it would also be great if they got a full liquor permit because we go more often!

Food came out fast. Beautiful place to eat at. Bring your dog and have some great food. Lobster rolls and sweet potato fries were delicious.

Such a beautiful, serene atmosphere. There is a gorgeous lake, bountiful garden, relaxing seating area. The staff are very personable and knowledgeable. It is conveniently located. The ice cream is so creamy, natural and delicious.

Everything I've ordered here I've loved. The atmosphere is great and the staff is always so nice and down to earth. I rave about this place to everyone and am always happy to support them!

Comfy cozy and great food and service

Definitely the best lobster rolls I’ve had in New England 🦞 toasted buns, generous portion of lobsters for the price, will be back to sure! 👍🏽

Jessica’s Garden is a beautiful spot, great snack stand, selection of pretty flowers/plants and best of all for kids the fish pond!

Stopped here for the clams for my sister’s BDay. She liked her whole bellies but I had the fish as they were out of strips. My fish was over fried and very small and thin. Food over priced for what they gave us and $4.50 for a 16 oz. Coke was absurd. With poor service, rough seating and mediocre people skills, Jessica’s does not warrant changing these prices.

Great lobster rolls! With large chunks of lobster. We finished our dinner with mud pie ice cream, which was recommended by the owner! Fabulous!!

It was a good hamburger 🍔 and I love the French fries 🍟

The staff was very friendly and responsive. The food was great and the outdoor seating around the pond was great on a nice day. What more could you ask for.

Double Cheeseburger, Shrimp, fries and crab were perfectly prepared. The outdoor area is lovely and comfortable. A nice trail, along with a pond with small fish activity swimming. Beautiful birds were also at peace. I would definitely recommend this place!!! You wont be disappointed.

My favorite lobster roll in CT. Hands down. And affordable. Juicy, buttery goodness. They now have an indoor dining area in addition to the picnic tables and chairs by the pond.

Recently had a lobster roll and smoothie and was unimpressed. The smoothie was tasteless/not sweet at all and the cold lobster roll had a really weird chlorine/ammonia taste to it and a strange texture. I think this place is great, the property is beautiful and I've had good experiences in the past, but this was a one star meal. I will still return because I've had other meals there that were delicious.

The food and ice cream was delicious we will be back

Fun shack with a pretty pond out back- great food year round

Ice cream was delicious! Very nice indoor seating area sheltered from the cold winter air.

This place is incredibly unique and worth the drive! The lobster bisque is awesome! I've also had their hot dog special, ice cream, and the short rib grilled cheese with horseradish and it was excellent! Very cute atmosphere with garden supplies you can purchase. My kind of place!

Delicious lobster roll, server polite and caring.

Continually great food and service.

20 dollars for a little bowl of not so good Mac n cheese n short rib that looks like chuck steak cooked in a crockpot never again and the meat had a rancid taste couldn’t even eat it

Jessica’s is just an Amazing place to go. Everything I have tried has been fantastic. The hot dogs, burgers, lobster rolls, soups, ice cream too much to mention. The warmer months at Jessica’s is a great place for all ages they have the pond with huge fish, trail, picnic tables, chairs scattered everywhere, big trees to sit under and all their beautiful plants and flowers. The owners are extremely nice I can’t say enough great things!! JUST GO!! You can’t miss it because it’s a purple restaurant on RT.66 East Hampton/Marlborough line. I used to eat there at least twice a week for lunch. I recently got a new job that is not close to Jessica’s.. I miss it, but, I will be back soon!!

The food is amazing worth the $. We also love their ice cream and buying praying mantis here in the summer. We have many grown-up praying mantis in our yard, and when they hatch, they are the coolest

Great food and beautiful view. They are open year round. One of the few places in this area that does lobster rolls and other great seafood and gourmet grilled cheese.

Have only had the ice cream. A small is $5.00 but you get your money’s worth!! It’s more like a medium! Delicious too!

Tried dinner there on a whim. My wife had the hot buttered lobster roll and I had the mango habanero wings, both of which were delicious. The thing that stole the show was the sweet potato fries with honey butter, out of this world.

Wonderful Place, nice plants, flowers, etc for Sale, Food Stand is great, ice cream, etc. And Several benches with or without Sun. Prices are reasonable!! People are Nice. 🌺🌼🌺💐☀️🌸💕 UPDATE 9/14/23' Beautiful Nice dine inside... Ordered spicy Lodster Salad and Avocado crostini($19.99), Sweet potato fries (great!!), and a lobster salad melt with cucumber slices (optional) ($16.99).The 2 dinners were delicious!! Ice cream cones for dessert topped it off!! Very nice ride to a nice place to See during the Day(many plants and scenery) and evening, till 8 pm... Nice interior! Great people ✌️💗👋

Although this is called the Lobster Shack, the other food itmes are delicious as well. (Including their delicious icecream!) What really took my breath away was the beautiful landscape, pond, and fairy trail that my party and I had the pleasure of strolling down. I highly recommend stopping here on a beautiful day. (They do have a small indoor eating area for if the weather is not as ideal)

Great service.. VERY nice owners!!! Awesome food and Ice cream.. The Best lobster Bisque. Huge lobster rolls Very nice outdoor setting. Terrific place to bring friends!!

What a hidden gem! For someone who can only find soft shell crabs in jersey my fiancé was super jazzed to find it here, being in his own backyard. It’s a double plus that their vegan ice cream actually tastes like ice cream and not like sand. 10/10

Amazing ice cream and food. Can't recommend it enough

A pleasant surprise! Yummy food at very reasonable prices in a really convenient location on Rte 66 on the East Hampton-Marlborough line.

Food plus the outside seating surrounding area combo earned a hard 5 stars to this place! Lobster roll, fish and chips (replaced with onion rings), seaweed salad and milkshake were what we ordered. Perhaps we are onion ring snubs and we don't find good onion rings often, but this place is it; nice crisp batter that doesn't separate from the onion as you bite into it, or that the onion gets pulled out midway eating it. Hence you get both the nice crisp coating with the onion in each bite! The other worthy mention is that they have sliced cucumbers as a side to your lobster roll! What?! Where else do you find that, and it was such a nice refreshing addition in between bites. We didn't get the ice cream but instead walked the small trail which they've craftily placed a number of whimsical stone figurines and potted plants throughout. Very happy we came.

We absolutely loved this place!! Beautiful setting and excellent food and ice cream. Great place to bring kids - they have beautiful places where they can roam but still remain in eye sight. Can’t wait to go back!!!!

Hidden little gem you would never expect to get this quality of food from a garden and mulch place beautiful seating all around the pond the food is delicious and well priced cant beat the 75 cent wings. You are going to want to try the whole menu

Looked better on television promo

Updated: Matt from Jessica's reached out and offered a gift card and apologized for our experience today. We will give them another shot. Disappointed. Poor service for a take out order and the amount of lobster for $21 crostini is insane. (Barely 2 tablespoons)

I love being able to buy plants, have a lobster roll and /or ice cream, and sit at a picnic table by their pond, in one quaint little place. It's especially nice to enjoy with children. Their own tye dyed t-shirts are a bonus, I have been buying them for years !

Super serene environment with a fairy garden trail, pond, and lots of picnic tables. Food was amazing! I got a lobster roll that was divine and ice cream on-site from Guilfords. Soo 😋 Great place to unwind, read a book while eating and enjoying yummy food prepared there. Service was excellent. Truly a hidden gem.

We had a fantastic time! Such a beautiful place and the food was amazing! The owner was so nice and even took time out to visit with us!

More seating, more parking, bigger menu and MORE lobster!!

Had a hard time choosing so I ordered the delicious lobster roll to eat there and Reuben to go with instructions they graciously gave me how to make theirs and all ingredients. Above a d beyond satisfaction Beautiful gardens to sit outside and enjoy

A must stop for food and ice cream on rt 66. They have a pretty pond with tables all around it. They just expanded their restaurant and have a much larger menu. The food is great. Everything I try I like.

Jessica’s has blown us away yet again! Went the first time as new residents in town to try a lobster roll. So buttery and fresh!! Then we tried some mulch for the garden and our plants are growing beautifully! Tonight we wanted wings and onion rings and both were absolutely delicious! Crispy, juicy, and generously sauced! We also got a smoothie that was just perfect! I’d give 10 stars if I could, Jessica’s is the best!

The food is amazing. This is a can't miss spot.

Great food, lovely location, nice people.

Arrived at 5:30pm on a Saturday and not a soul in sight, everything all closed up? Said it was open for 2023 season until 7pm. EDIT: OK, placeholder for a real visit soon. Place looks nice!

I got the classic lobster roll, lobster bisque and and hot fudge sundae with peanut butter pie and chocolate ice cream and all of it was truly amazing. I haven't had food that good in a long time and the lobster was PERFECT, buttery, tender, full pieces of fresh claw meat. The lobster bisque had big chunks of fresh claw meat. The sundae was creamy and had plenty of hot fudge and nuts, so good! Five stars for sure. Will definitely return and highly recommend

Wow.. what a place.. awesome atmosphere, out door dining pond side. Nice walking trail around the pond.. the food, oh my.. what a amazing lobster roll, buttered top spilt roll grilled to crispy perfection and stuffed to the edges with lobster. my girls had the kids Frisby meal, free ice cream and a Frisby how can you go wrong.. the grilled cheese was perfect. And for desert the wife and I had Sundays. Giffords never disappoints.. I recommend the amaretto chocolate cherry Sunday..

Place is delicious reasonably priced cooked fresh to order deff a spot to check out wil be returning

My family is new to Connecticut. We purchased a home here in Marlborough. Jessica's Garden was recommended to us for lobster rolls. They are fantastic and so is their ice cream. Staff is super courteous to boot. Love it there!!

Jessica's Garden is a very laid back place featuring mulch delivery, but they also feature a food "shack". You order your food (a very good, eclectic selection) and go sit at one of the picnic tables on the spectacularly landscaped grounds. You can see their pond at most (if not all) the tables. The food is brought to you. Afterwards, we walked the grounds looking at the variety of plants and sculptures.

Delicious Ice Cream and Hot Dog. The gardens and walking area were beautiful. We loved the fairy gardens, the swing and the frog pond!

Delicious ice cream, love the pond and all the seating also has a very cute nature trail. Can’t wait to go back and try the food!!
