A Connecticut Lobster Roll and a New England Roll are essentially the same thing.

The difference is that the Connecticut Lobster Roll just named differently and Connecticut Lobster Rolls are made with a New England Style bun.

Connecticut lobster rolls are traditionally served with warm lobster meat in a buttered and toasted/or grilled New England-style bun.

And another key difference is that it comes with a side of melted butter so you can dip the lobster roll before each bite, giving it an extra rich flavor.

The difference between Maine and Connecticut Lobster Rolls are the Maine lobster rolls generally are lightly coated with mayonnaise and sometimes a small amount of finely chopped celery, while Connecticut lobster rolls are topped with warm butter.

What makes the Connecticut Lobster Roll Unique is it is made with different condiments and served at a different temperature and is most often served with warm lobster meat.

Maine lobster rolls generally are lightly coated with mayonnaise and sometimes a small amount of finely chopped celery, while Connecticut lobster rolls are topped with warm butter.

The two types of Lobster Rolls are the Maine lobster roll and the Connecticut lobster roll.

Maine lobster rolls generally are lightly coated with mayonnaise and sometimes a small amount of finely chopped celery, while Connecticut lobster rolls are topped with warm butter.

Lobster rolls are most often served cold but you can eat them warmed up if you want too.

When you order a Lobster roll the Lobster Rolls are usually served cold and not hot or warm.

When Lobster Rolls are served in Maine they are served on New England-style hot dog buns which are split on the top instead of the side and have flat sides for grilling.

The meat of the lobster roll is served cold and mayonnaise is typically spread inside the bun or tossed with the meat.

So when you make lobster rolls at home you can serve the lobster rolls cold if you want too but if you prefer to have the lobster rolls hot or warm when eaten you can do so as well.

It doesn't really matter but I prefer the lobster meat to be hot and not cold because I find the lobster rolls more enjoyable when the lobster meat is hot and not cold.
