About Pinchy's Lobster + Rawbar
Pinchy's Lobster + Rawbar has earned a devoted following since bringing authentic New England lobster rolls to downtown Sevierville. Their Connecticut-style rolls come absolutely stuffed with fresh lobster meat - genuinely worth the $30 price tag given the generous portions packed inside.
The Monday all-you-can-eat crab legs special has become legendary among locals. The kitchen brings them out hot, a pound at a time, and these steaming platters have been known to bring tears of joy to grown diners.
Fair warning: this isn't some fancy beachside bistro. The vibe leans more cafeteria-style with echoing acoustics, but the exceptional seafood quality more than compensates for the casual atmosphere.
The beer garden features fire pits and creates an inviting hangout spot, especially since well-behaved dogs are welcome. The crab wontons and lobster mac and cheese stand out as popular appetizer choices.
Expect to spend $100+ for a group before tip. While portions are generous, prices reflect the reality of getting fresh Maine lobster delivered to the heart of Tennessee.
