About Captain Scott's Lobster Dock
Let me introduce you to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock, a laid-back seafood restaurant sitting right on the New London waterfront at 80 Hamilton St, New London, CT 06320, United States, where the smell of the harbor and the sound of boats instantly set the mood. When people ask me where to go for honest seafood that feels local and unpretentious, this spot is always the first thing that comes to mind, because it blends classic dockside charm with a menu that truly speaks for itself. The vibe here is casual and welcoming, making it just as easy to swing by in shorts after a walk as it is to settle in for a relaxed meal with friends. Captain Scott's Lobster Dock is known for comfort food done right, especially if you love seafood that tastes fresh, simple, and satisfying without unnecessary extras. Outdoor seating is a big draw, letting you enjoy your meal with open air and waterfront views, while the dine-in experience keeps things friendly and efficient without feeling rushed or stiff. If you’re short on time, takeaway and delivery options make it easy to enjoy the same flavors wherever you are, which is something I often recommend to visitors staying nearby. The drink menu rounds things out nicely, offering beer, cocktails, wine, and spirits that pair well with the food and naturally extend the relaxed, dockside feel. I like how the place doesn’t try to be flashy; instead, it focuses on giving guests a reliable seafood restaurant experience where quality and consistency matter. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite, grabbing something to go, or meeting friends for drinks and comfort food by the water, this restaurant feels like a genuine part of the New London scene, the kind of spot locals recommend without hesitation and visitors remember because it feels authentic from the moment you arrive. I often point out how the relaxed service options and solid drinks list make it easy to linger, chat, and enjoy the dockside rhythm without feeling rushed.

Its always great when traveling and you stumble into a wonderful culinary experience. Captain Scott's provided that. I loved the setting by the docks with a view looking west over the boats and docks. But the real star was the fresh food! I ordered NE Clam Chowder and Fish and Chips (Cod). The cod was flakey and perfect! If you are still hungry there is delicious ice cream, and big pieces of pie. I highly recommend trying any of their seafood. It all looked delicious.

Def tucked away little gem for sure! Ignore the scenery while getting there…trust the GPS and my review! I am not a fish person but the FISH AND CHIPS look amazing and people rave about it! Parking is plenty and always expect a line We have been here multiple times and zero issues. Lines are fine which means high turn over! FISH IS FRESH! My wife got the fish and chips as well as a shrimp cocktail and she could not stop talking about! I just got a cheeseburger and hot dog…all cooked well! They did mess up our order WHICH IS FINE bc they were slammed and they are human. They handled their mess up in a timely and professional manner. I treated them with respect and they gave it right back. This is a nice place to eat and hand before you jump on the ferry back to the island! They also serve ice cream which looks great but we never have room

Visited with my employees from Tennessee. Everyone enjoyed the view and food so much they went back the next day! Lobster rolls, scallops, fish and clam fritters were all great. See you next time! #tnchrisapproved

I ordered the small hot lobster roll. It was delicious! I also ordered some fried scallops to go, so I have not eaten them yet. I already know they'll be amazing because nothing beats fresh seafood! I ate here on a chilly, fall day, but it was worth it. Very friendly staff. Beautiful view of the marina & the water. Bonus- you can become a Disney princess if the birds are brave enough to take food from your hand.

I had a lovely lunch here with my father. We ordered a garden salad with lobster and fried calamari. We enjoyed sitting outside and looking out to the harbor. The food was tasty, but there were few gluten-free options. The service was a bit slow but good overall. We walked here from the train station, which was a bit tough but well worth it. The location is convenient, with plenty of parking, excellent restrooms, and a lovely gift shop.

We visited for fresh seafood that did not disappoint. We tried a little bit of everything. The lobster bisque was decent. I probably wouldn’t order it again. The stuffie New England clam chowder was AMAZING! Intensely delicious flavors. I was surprised by the fried oysters. I’ve always had them on the shell. These were massive and deep fried, served in a basket. Gooey and delicious!! I don’t even like lobster rolls but I tried my husband’s and it was amazing. The cole slaw is more vinegar than mayo and a little plain. The portions are massive. I didn’t even touch the potatoes that came with my platter. These wait was quite long, so budget your time accordingly. There were a good 30 people in line before us on a Saturday morning. The line moved and people were served quite effectively. The seating is all outdoors, but there is a covered shelter with picnic tables.

The food was good and great portions! The line can be pretty long but the food comes out pretty quick once you order! The fried oysters and calamari were good. And the lobster rolls were great, just don’t forget to get the extra butter, it was needed it! But the view of the dock is so pretty to look at while sitting and eating!
