Cheap bastards. I'm cheap too since I like the coupons.... Now that the coupons in AM NY were mentioned, there must have been a huge push of them, since they have not been running them.

I love lobster. (Grew up in Boston!) Also a mayo fan, and I like Cosi bread. Saw the server fill the lobster salad bin from a larger plastic bin just before I ordered. Long line, a bit of a wait. The good: Cosi bread-great texture, not too bulky Mayo was good, a bit lemony Many good-sized lobster chunks (even some claw!)--definitely real lobster meat Nibbling on a couple of fresh-baked loaf ends helped ease the line wait The Bad: Alas, the lobster meat was not very lobstery. I even let the sandwich sit and warm up for a while. Slowly ate a large chunk with no mayo. It tasted overly-boiled and processed and did not have the loster flavor that is the whole purpose of eating a lobster roll Not a bad deal w/coupon (under $8), and fairly filling, but not a true lobster experience. Still an OK sandwich. Tried it for lunch Wednesday (45th St). I love lobster. (Grew up in Boston!) Also a mayo fan, and I like Cosi bread.

For the price it's a nice option when I've got a craving, though I don't think this will be a weekly staple for me. Anyone know how long they'll be serving this form?

Also just a note to those who care, Cosi sandwiches are very high in calories, and it's not just the ingredients. The bread is yummy but drenched in oil. I am no longer dieting so I don't care, but for those who are, BEWARE. Thanks for the tip on the Cosi coupon, I will have to track it down!

With the AMNY coupon, it was $7.56 including tax. It wasn't Pearl, but it wasn't half bad for the price. I liked the seasoned mayonnaise. Not sure what the heck was in it, but it was tasty.

The don't do this mayo BS, they do it with drawn butter and plenty of lobster. It's also only around 10 bucks and it is in a very hidden location, not touristy at all. Look it up.

It doesn't have the same fake flavor that imitation crab meat types have, and it was pleasantly salty as real lobster should be. So either there's some great seasoning going on in the Cosi kitchens (or the mayo is too lemony to tell) or it's real lobster. Tastes like lobster meat to me.

Tried the lobster roll, good, very mayonaise-y but otherwise yummy. Worth it with the 2 bucks off. If you are in MA the Lobster Pool in Rockport has the best lobster roll evah. Evah. No mayo really just chunks of fresh lobster meat. http://www.lobsterpoolrestaurant.com/main/menu.php?picaddress=&size= Woodman's also has good lobster rolls and fried seafood. better than clambox.
