Lobster Shack is truly a hidden gem — the kind of place you stumble on once and immediately start planning your next visit. The location alone is breathtaking, with beautiful views that make it perfect for both intimate outings and family days alike. It has that rare mix of peaceful atmosphere and welcoming charm that makes everyone feel right at home. Our server was absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and incredibly entertaining with our kids, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and tasted unbelievably fresh. You can tell they care about quality here. I also tried their holiday drink, which was tasty, unique, and full of festive flavor. And when my baby accidentally spilled my drink, they didn’t hesitate for a second — they made me a brand-n

Food was delicious, lobster grill cheese jad plenty of lobster. They offered seasonal drinks. Service was good. I went to check out the Christmas decor, it was less of a holiday experience than advertised. I think it would be a better atmosphere in the spring/summer.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Phylis Iqbal · Dec 2025

The Christmas decorations were really pretty. It was cold outside, so the braised short rib and mashed potatoes were filling and warming. We also got the crab rangoon appetizer, which had an interesting flavor. The hot sauce on top was really great. The lobster mac and cheese and lobster rolls were great, but the cup of lobster corn chowder needed more flavor. The seasonal cocktails are a skip. You're better off ordering familiar cocktails such as a Moscow mule or beer.

★★★★★ 5.0 Christine S · Dec 2025

I have visited lobster shack several times. Everytime I have gone the service is top notch. They are friendly and on top of anything you need. The food is delicious. I tend to favor the lobster rolls !! The gorgonzola garlic bread is phenomenal.

Very festive as it is decorated for Christmas. We were able to see the water from our table. Friendly, courteous staff. The menu was hard choose from because of all the great choices. They even had a Lobster Quesadilla!
