Our Guestbook
“ I visited Boston with my family for the first time from California and after we landed and got our rental car I immediately searched for a local lobster roll! There were a lot of options in Downtown, but since it was 6pm on a Saturday night all of them had lines out the door and no parking to be found. We decided to head a little bit out of downtown and stumbled upon Mount Vernon - very glad we did! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful, food was good, and the restaurant has a local atmosphere which we prefer. ”
“ About a month, or so ago, I reserved the function room; it was a time, for my family, friends and loved ones, 25 of us, to get together and ,"Celebrate the Life" of my nephew. I spoke to the manager, Marty Henry, a few times and we also sent emails back and forth to confirm the details of this function. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted with a smile by one of the servers. The servers; Penny and Jan, and they were definitely were top notch! They were friendly and prompt with serving our food, to enjoying conversation with many of us. It was nice to be well taken care of, especially because it made our hearts relax, for a bit while having a few laughs while healing. The food was so delicious! Make sure in either making a reservation, for a lunch/dinner, to making arrangement's, for a function ask for Marty! He will take very good care of you and he'll also discuss with you the Options that are offered, especially if you are having a function; be sure to let him know if you would like the lunch/dinner portions, again because you have options to choose from. When you call and speak to Marty, please tell that I referred you; he'll know who I am; you can mention, "The Celebration of Life" function, for Barbara! ”
“ Very local Boston vibes. The waitress was welcoming and willing to help us eat the clams and lobster properly. We had the oyster Rockefeller and clam bake. Amazing! Very reasonable priced. 2 FREE parking lots around the corner. ”
“ Had a great experience eating here with a large group of about 70 people. The twin lobster was the star of the show!!! ”
“ If you like old-school New England food, this is the place. The service is great, but the decor is old and needs a revamp. I love their Turkey Dinner on Sunday, and their twin lobster deal is the best around. ”
“ Great food, decent prices and old school charm. I ate my weight in fried clams. Minus one star for surly service (it was probably an off night). I have told a few friends to come here and they really liked the generous portions of sand dabs. ”
“ Nice neighborhood business. We ate lobster and Maine steamers which were good. Staff attentive. Parking in back of building. Steady local business on Sunday for buffet. ”
“ We had a great experience here. The food was terrific. Homey, hearty and well cooked with large portions. The tips were soooo tasty with the perfect amount of marinade. Boiled dinner was large and yummy. Nice piece of prime rib too!! Staff was amazing, down to earth and social. Loved it here!! Parking right across the street! ”
“ Wow. I ordered a lobster roll for take out during a craving on a work day. When I picked it up, the bartender told me it would be the best lobster roll ever. And yes, it was amazing! I would say the roll was a little crunchy for my taste but the lobster salad inside was fantastic. Lightly dressed and huge chunks. This was at least half a lobster. I also got my side as half fries half onion rings and both were really good. Soft batter and decently sized orings so they didn't fall apart. The bartender even grabbed me some ketchup before I remembered to ask. I'll definitely be back next time I'm craving lobster ”
“ Incredible hole in the wall. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by the bartender and local patrons. You can watch a game, gamble, or get the most insane lobster dinner on earth. They are know for a lobster stuffed with lobster. That's right. Come here for the New England cuisine, authentic Boston atmosphere and cold beer. ”
