40,000+ views later… here’s why we do it this way.

A lot of people asked why we don’t just buy pre-picked lobster meat.

The answer is simple…

Every lobster for our lobster rolls is steamed in-house and hand-picked by our team. It takes up to an hour to steam and pick a batch, but we think it’s worth it.

Many restaurants use pre-portioned lobster meat, which contains just claw and knuckle meat and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. We just wanted to do things a little differently.

Our rolls include claw, knuckle, AND tail meat because we believe that’s what makes an unforgettable lobster roll.

It’s more work. It’s messier. It’s definitely not the easy way.

But when you bite into one, we think you’ll taste the difference.

Lobster Rolls are Back!

Freshly steamed lobster with your choice of mayonnaise or just good old-fashioned butter, served on a toasted roll.

Or go for our Steamers! We’ve been de-sanding them to the best of our ability (and thank you to everyone who offered suggestions! Teamwork makes the dream work. 🤘).

Feeling extra hungry? Take on the Home Wrecker Hot Dog if you dare. 🌭

It’s a record-breaking heat wave today, so let us handle the hot kitchen while you relax in the A/C with an ice-cold beer and a great meal.

We’ll take care of the cooking, you just bring your appetite.

We're human. We make mistakes, and when we do, we own them and learn from them.

Since adding steamers to the menu, we've had a few orders come back because there was still too much sand in the clams. If you were one of those customers, we're truly sorry. That's not the experience we want anyone to have.

After doing some research and talking with people who know shellfish, we realized we can do better. We're going to be adding a live well so our clams, mussels, and steamers can spend more time in cold, oxygenated saltwater before they're cooked. That extra time allows them to naturally purge more sand, and we believe it'll make a big difference.

That said, we also want to be honest. Clams are a natural product, and they literally live buried in the sand. While we'll do everything we can to reduce it as much as possible, we can't promise they'll ever be 100% sand-free. What we can promise is that we'll continue doing everything we can to serve the best quality shellfish possible.

We'd rather be upfront when something isn't right than pretend it never happened. We care about the food we serve, and we're always looking for ways to improve. Your feedback helps us do exactly that.

Thank you for your patience, your honesty, and your continued support. We truly appreciate every one of you, and we can't wait to serve you a plate of steamers that we're proud to put in front of you. ❤️

Sometimes, the best views come after the storm.

One of our bartenders, Corinne, captured this incredible photo after the rain the other night. To many, it looks like The Black Goose Tavern is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and we’d like to think that’s a pretty fitting view.

This Fourth of July, we have so much to celebrate: America’s 250th birthday, the freedoms we enjoy, and the time we get to spend with family and friends.

With that in mind, The Black Goose Tavern will be closed on Saturday, July 4th so our staff can celebrate with the people they love, enjoying backyard BBQs, cold beer, fireworks, and making memories.

We hope your Independence Day is filled with laughter, great food, and good company. Thank you for being such an amazing part of our flock. ❤️🤍💙

We’ll see you soon! Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

We had a lot of interest in our recent post about beer line cleaning, so we thought we’d take you behind the scenes and show you exactly how it’s done!

Clean beer lines are one of the most important parts of serving great draft beer. Regular cleaning helps maintain the flavor, aroma, and quality of every pint while ensuring our draft system stays in top condition.

At The Black Goose Tavern, customer satisfaction is incredibly important to us. We do our best to go above and beyond in every aspect of what we do, making sure every bite and every sip is the best it can be. From the food coming out of our kitchen to the beer pouring from our taps, we believe the little details matter.

Take a look at the process we use to keep our lines clean and your beer tasting its best.

Because great beer deserves great care and our guests deserve nothing less. Cheers!
