Cozy lobster–centric seafood shack with indoor and outdoor seating, water views & a laid-back vibe. BYOB. The Lobster Bomb (famous!) is reason enough to visit Ford's, but factor in the salty shoreline setting and this might just be the most perfect meal you ever ate. The Noank House tip - Ford's does not take reservations...and the wait can often be up to 2 hours in the Summer months. But you can go there before you are ready to eat and put in your name. Then head back to The Noank House, enjoy cocktails on the upper deck while you wait for your text. Once they text you, you have 15 minutes to arrive for your table!
