Johnny Ad's

"The warm pink meat spills out of a hot lobster roll. It's good that the roll comes in a firm paper sheath, for midway through the moist lobster and its butter have mostly dissolved the toasted roll."
Michael Stern






"This is the way Yankee cooks prepare buns for hot dogs or seafood rolls. They are designed to be split vertically on top and toasted on the griddle to a good crisp ... while the inside stays tender."
Michael Stern



"Johnny Ad's motto: "The Little Seafood Restaurant with the Big Ocean Taste.""
Michael Stern



"You know you're in Connecticut if the menu lists both cold and hot lobster rolls."
Michael Stern



"The preferred way to get your foot-long at Johnny Ad's is blanketed with chili and cheese. This one has mustard and relish. Note the taut natural casing."
