Food is amazing! Staff is friendly and accommodating. There are a few outdoor picnic tables and a small indoor area where you can sit and eat.

One of the better lobster rolls (I mean sandwiches) in the Boston area. Tiny little hole in the wall spot with casual outdoor/tent seating. Lobster is fresh and delicious, and the sandwiches have a generous amount inside. I still prefer the bun of a traditional lobster roll, but it's fun for a change.

Great food at a reasonable price. We got two lobsters and muscles with some Chowder to go and it was all excellent. There is a little tent outdoor seating area that is heated which if we would have know. We would have gotten our food to eat there instead of to go.

This place is a gem!! It was a little out of the way for us but I'm so glad we decided to give it a go because it was one of our favorite meals of the trip. We got steamed lobsters and clam steamers and it was fairly priced and absolutely delicious. The lobster was sweet and perfectly cooked, the steamers were delicious and tasted clean with no sand at all. We wanted something simple and fresh and didn't want to sit in a fancy seafood restaurant and this spot completely delivered. There were also some great locals there that were super friendly and taught us how to eat the steamers and just made the place feel like home away from home. We loved it so much we immediately ordered seconds!

Super casual hole in the wall establishment with plenty of outdoor picnic bench seating. We placed our order at the counter, and waited 15 minutes on a Saturday afternoon for our lobster sandwich. The lobster sandwich is stuffed to the brim with lobster, and is sandwiched between toasted white bread. The lobster itself is tender and moist, and a tasty treat. Overall a great casual experience, and would recommend.

The place is a crossover fish market (the scallops looked exquisite but were market items) and lobster pot right smack in the middle of Cambridge. The place is counter service for both dining and market options. My wife had a lobster sandwich (not actually the traditional roll on a bun) so she didn't have to do any work (~$32). I had a whole "chicken" (maybe a pound) lobster ($~20) so I did have to work. Both were fresh lobster at its best. I might have liked a slightly larger lobster myself but that wasn't an option. The weather was hot so sitting out on a picnic table under an umbrella was perfect. There is a small shed to eat in on rainy days. Just what we were looking for as we neared the end of a New England vacation.

I really wanted to try a solid lobster roll while visiting Boston and Alive & Kicking Lobsters was recommended as an delicious place to stop by to fulfill that wish. I stopped by Alive and Kicking on a Wednesday around noon to check this place out. Parking seems to be mostly streetside to the restaurant, as it feels like its located just in a neighborhood as there are residential houses/apartments surrounding the location. Service is casual, you order your food at the cash register and they hand you a number, and then someone brings out your food to the corresponding tray, and you bus your own tables afterwards. As for food, the lobster sandwich was specifically recommended as the item to get while stopping by. This is a very solid lobster sandwich! As you can see in the photos, it is literally jam packed with lobster - there is no skimping, and the lobster is an inch thick from crust to crust. There isn't too much added to the lobster other than a slight bit of mayo I think, and also the bread is really plain too - which really highlights the freshness of the lobster. Each toothsome bite is satisfying, and you'll finish the sandwich before you know it. Though it is almost $40 for a sandwich, most places seem to offer an "overstuffed" lobster roll for a similar price that doesn't even have that much more lobster than the standard lobster roll. I would say for Boston, this was one of the better places that I've tried during my visit. Though the price may be hefty to some, you definitely get what you pay for! The sandwich is absolutely loaded with lobster and it tastes pretty fresh, a very solid lobster related option in comparison to the other rolls that I have tried so far in the area - I would definitely revisit if I'm in Boston and looking to splurge on a delicious lobster meal.

Food: lobster sandwich comes with a bag of kettle chips for $32. This was my first lobster sandwich and I wasn't sure if I'd like it so our family of 3 split one as a snack. Also it was pricy for all of us to buy 3. Well it was so delicious that we fought over it! It tasted so fresh from the sea. My 16 year old would not give it up. Then in the afternoon I said what do you want for dinner and she's like "lobster sandwich". Service: hole in the wall place. Go up to the counter and order. They have square so credit cards accepted. Ambiance: there is a little shack with somewhat a/c but it wasn't that cool and smelled not great. There are picnic tables with umbrellas outside so we did that. Outhouse for the bathroom. We'll be back if ever in town!

I had a couple lobster rolls while I was in Boston, but the lobster sandwich from Alive and Kicking really blew my mind! This place is a quaint little shack in Cambridge but do not be deceived, it packs a punch. We got the following: - Lobster sandwich: It's juicy, meaty, sweet, and not too saucy. The bread is thin, but strategically so - it stays crunchy and does not compete with the amount of lobster! Comes with a bag of chips instead of fries on the side, but nothing to complain about - they're kettle cooked and very crunchy. 10/10 - Clam chowder: Also amazing. It was a thick creamy type and heavy in black pepper flavour - I really enjoyed it! 8/10 Pro tip: Dunk your lobster sandwich into the clam chowder for extra flavour. Overall, service was quick and seating was plenty! Definitely check this place out if you're in the Harvard/MIT area, it's perfect for an easy lunch!

The lobster filling of the sandwich is good. The bread is well-toasted. Pretty standard Boston lobster sandwich/roll. The clam chowder had a decent amount of clams and potatoes. It came with a slice of buttered sourdough. The calamari salad was too sour for my taste. I ordered take out for a Saturday lunch. There was no line for ordering and the wait for the food was about 10 minutes. The place has some indoor and outdoor options. Very homey vibe.
