5 South Main

We happened to be in the area looking for a casual lunch spot and found 5 south main. Very nice staff with a wide selection of menu options w. We had excelled lam chowder, chicken Caesar wrap, hot honey chicken sandwich, and three layer turkey sandwich- all were excellent!

Great selection of excellent sandwiches. Fresh, quality served hot and good-looking lunchtime meals. Served by friendly and nice staff. The place is small but not too cramped. Coffee was not the best, but then if a coffee snob don't order coffee at a restaurant :). Have also had a good breakfast here in the past... I guess take out is popular based on the number of pick up orders while we had lunch

Great spot for a casual breakfast with friends. Had to wait about 10-15 mins for our party of 4 but that is to be expected with such a small place. The staff were polite and even genuinely funny when interacting with us. Definitely had some great laughs. Food was pretty standard though we didnt get anything game breaking (simple eggs and toast). The cinnamon roll French toast was tasty though!!

Yummmmmy! French toast 10/10 reccomend And the best lobster roll we've had!

LOBSTER ALERT!

I think I just accidentally found the best lobster roll south of Essex County! If you like a HUGE portion of bodacious crustaceous deliciousness I strongly encourage making the drive from Boston.

Get the Gooey Louis. It is a massive lobster melt on sourdough. The clam chowder was good too but I literally took home more than half of what I dub the "KING LOUIS."

IMPORTANT HEADS UP:
They have 4 tables. They may add more for the summer, but for now call ahead or be ready to take a stroll along the harbor or check out the downtown shops.

The food here is consistently great! It's a place I would recommend warmly to anyone who wants a study breakfast or lunch. My personal favorite item on their menu is the French toast with peaches and pecans, so tasty I almost forgot to take a photo before it was all gone again..

Such a cozy atmosphere and awesome service! Food feels so healthy and wholesome. We can’t wait to be back! :)

Good food! Had the spareribs, eggplant in garlic sauce, veggi delight, house fried rice and chop suey with shrimp. Also the chicken teriyaki. All was very good, tasty and satisfying.

It is a lovely restaurant for a perfect breakfast. The food was very delicious and the service was very friendly.

From a road warriors perspective when searching for a quick sit down or take out lunch in Cohasset this is the spot. Small restaurant with ample seating inside and out. No worries about checking the sandwich or bag for ordered items. The order is completed correctly the first time and always with a smile. Unlike many deli's that forget the condiments that you request. 5 South Main is on my short list for low key, delicious creative sandwiches and soups from the menu or interesting specials from the blackboard. Great desserts as well. Dinners with a beer and wine license. Sunday brunch too. Tables outside for warm weather dining. Highly recommended.

The lobster sliders and clam chowder were divine. Small cute spot for a delish bite to eat.

My husband and I set out to find the best lobster roll in the greater Boston area during Covid. It took us three years but we found it, hands down, here in Cohasset. Not swimming in mayo but so fresh it must have been swimming minutes before it was made, the lobster is delicious and plentiful. The roll itself is a treat, lightly buttered and sandwich-sized, and is the perfect compliment to the lobster. We order takeout because the venue is small and the service was quick and pleasant. We take ours to the beach and enjoy the surf with our seafood, it makes for the perfect afternoon getaway from the city. Highly recommend!!!

This is a cute restaurant with great breakfast and lunch. Their lobster rolls are huge and delicious and so are their tuna melts. They also have great baked goods and breakfast.

I totally agree with Josh Dupre. I went there with my sister to try the gooey Louie on his recommendation. It was everything he said and more! Also the chowder and sausage soups were perfect ,along with the cheesecake,cookies and Greek salad. If I lived closer,I would return.

The food here is always good! Today’ s takeout meals were no exception . We ordered lobster rolls and they were top quality! Fresh juicy lobster meat in a light mayo dressing. The roll was a baguette and not your typical hot dog bun. Highly recommend this eating establishment!

Cute cafe, friendliest people and the food is SO good!! I highly recommend it!

Ive been traveling to Boston over the last few months and of course try to sample lobster dishes and clam chowder where I can. I first had a Gooey Louie togo, it was awesome. I just now had one fresh out the kitchen along with a clam chowder. The chowder was solid but the Gooey Louie was amazing. It kicks the hell out of a normal lobster roll and its packed with a ton of lobster at 5 South Main. Decadent and delicious. The service was also fast and friendly.

Friends got some excellent sandwiches here, I was donated a delicious cookie for running a marathon nearby. The level of care & cheerfulness from the team there was so lovely & made our day. Staff was welcoming & pleasant, I would 100% recommend stopping in!

As many of these reviews state, the french toast is out of this world. But I want to make sure everyone knows the dinner and lunch selections are just as fantastic. And somehow, even in the midst of the current situation they have managed to maintain the same incredible standards.

We have been trying to frequent our favorite local restaurants as much as possible for take-out lately and without doubt, 5 South Main is head and shoulders above when it comes to delivering the same phenomenal culinary experience we have come to expect but in a box. Really, the only thing missing is the interaction with the wonderful staff. (We miss you guys!)

And one last thing: BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVA!!! (Order twice as many as you actually want. You'll be happy you did when you have some left the next day.)

We got the Lobster BLT, Gooie Louie and the Pear and Arugula salad to go. The Lobster BLT was really great. The Gooie Louie was also very good, but not as good as the BLT. The salad was also fantastic. They had a good local beer selection - I got a Stellwagen. My only complaint is that the price on the sandwiches was pretty steep, even for lobster. They were both $35 dollars. That said, they did not short change you on the amount of lobster.
