Alive & Kicking Lobsters operates out of an unassuming spot on a residential Cambridge street, set up in the driveway of the owner's home. It's a seafood counter built for quick, no-frills eating: order at the window, then either take food to go or settle in at an outdoor picnic table.
The signature item breaks from Boston tradition on purpose. Instead of the usual lobster roll, the lobster sandwich here is served on two slices of buttered toast, piled with fresh lobster meat. The rest of the menu leans into classic New England seafood shack territory, with chowder, bisque, and steamed shellfish rounding out the counter.
