About Yankee Lobster

Yankee Lobster is a long-running, family-owned seafood restaurant and fish market located on Boston’s waterfront in the Seaport District. Known for its casual New England vibe, it serves fresh local lobster, fried seafood platters, chowder, lobster rolls, and daily catch specials, alongside a full fish market offering raw seafood to take home. The business operates both a dine-in restaurant and a fresh seafood counter, and may also offer takeout, online ordering, and phone orders for pickup. Their official website is yankeelobstercompany.com, where menus, hours, and contact details are listed.

A Yankee Lobster charge may appear on your bank or card statement after dining at the restaurant, purchasing fresh seafood at the market, placing a takeout or phone order, or paying for an online order. Charges are typically one-time transactions and may show up under descriptions like “YANKEE LOBSTER,” “YANKEE LOBSTER CO BOSTON MA,” or similar variations. If you added a tip, ordered for a group, or combined market and restaurant purchases on one bill, the total on your statement may be higher than you recall. In some cases, you may see a temporary pending amount (such as the pre-tip total) followed by the final posted charge that includes your tip.

To verify or resolve questions about a Yankee Lobster charge, start by checking your recent dining history, email confirmations, or order receipts from the date of the transaction. Compare the date, location, and amount on your statement with any paper receipt, delivery-app order, or bank notification. If something doesn’t match, contact Yankee Lobster directly using the phone number or contact form listed at yankeelobstercompany.com; have your transaction date, last four digits of the card, and exact amount ready so staff can look up the charge. For orders placed through third-party delivery services, you may need to contact the delivery platform’s support, as they process the payment on Yankee Lobster’s behalf. If you still suspect an error or unauthorized use, you can dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Yankee Lobster charge on my statement if I only remember getting takeout?

Yankee Lobster processes takeout, phone, and walk-in market orders using the same payment system as the dine-in restaurant, so all purchases may appear as “YANKEE LOBSTER” or “YANKEE LOBSTER CO BOSTON MA” on your statement. If you ordered takeout by phone or in person and paid with a card at pickup, that charge will look the same as a dine-in transaction and may include any tip you added at the counter.

Does Yankee Lobster have subscriptions or recurring charges?

Yankee Lobster is a restaurant and fish market and does not typically offer subscription or recurring billing for consumers. Charges from Yankee Lobster are usually one-time payments tied to a specific visit or order date. If you see multiple Yankee Lobster charges, they will normally correspond to separate dining or purchase occasions, not an automatic renewal plan.

Why is the final Yankee Lobster amount higher than the total I initially saw?

When you pay at Yankee Lobster, the initial authorization may be for the pre-tip amount, with the final posted transaction including any tip you added. On your statement, you might first see a pending amount (for example, the food total before tip) that later updates to a higher, final total once the tip is processed. If the final amount seems incorrect, compare it to your receipt and contact the restaurant for clarification.

What are typical charge amounts from Yankee Lobster?

Most Yankee Lobster charges reflect the cost of seafood meals, drinks, and tax, which can range from around $15–$30 for a single meal up to $75 or more for multiple guests or large seafood platters. Fish market purchases for fresh lobster and other seafood can vary widely based on weight and market price, so those totals may be higher, especially for multiple lobsters or specialty items. Always check your itemized receipt, as high-ticket charges usually involve fresh, per-pound seafood purchases.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or verify a Yankee Lobster transaction?

If you need a copy of your receipt, contact Yankee Lobster directly using the phone number listed on yankeelobstercompany.com or on your original paper receipt. Provide the transaction date, approximate time, total amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can try to locate your check in their system. For online or delivery orders, check your email inbox or app order history, as those platforms often send an itemized digital receipt you can compare to your bank statement.

How do I request a refund or dispute an incorrect Yankee Lobster charge?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly (for example, duplicate charges or the wrong amount), contact Yankee Lobster as soon as possible and explain the issue, providing any receipts or screenshots you have. In many cases, if an error is confirmed, the restaurant can issue a partial or full refund back to your original payment method. If you can’t resolve it directly, contact your bank or card issuer to open a dispute and they will investigate the transaction.

Why do I see a small pending or temporary charge from Yankee Lobster?

Some payment processors may place a temporary authorization hold when your card is first run, especially for bar tabs or open checks, to confirm the card is valid. This pending amount can differ from the final total and should be replaced by the completed transaction (including tax and tip) within a few business days. If a small pending amount remains on your account for more than a week without converting to a final charge, contact your bank or card issuer for clarification.

How do I contact Yankee Lobster about a charge on my card?

To ask about a specific charge, use the contact information on yankeelobstercompany.com, which typically includes their phone number and physical address in Boston, MA. When you call or visit, have your statement, transaction date, and total amount ready so staff can research the payment. For charges tied to delivery apps or online marketplaces, you may also need to message support through that platform, since they handle the payment processing and refunds on Yankee Lobster’s behalf.
