Customer Reviews
If you are in the mood for fresh, delicious seafood, this place is a must visit. The shrimp here are incredible fresh, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Right now, they have an amazing promotion when you buy one pound of shrimp and you get another pound for free. Such a great deal, especially for seafood lovers. The ambience is casual, but it’s clear that they focus on delivering high quality seafood. I love this place and will come back for sure.
I’ve been searching and trying out seafood boil restaurants in the area, and Lobster Chef is definitely the best around. The service is great and the restaurant is well kept, clean and inviting. The prices are comparable to others around and they have an all you can eat buffet option that’s a no brainer. Their sauce is very flavorful and light. I don’t like chunky and thick sauces so I was so happy with Lobster Chef. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone out there.
This place is so underwhelming and I’ve been deceived by the great reviews. THIS IS NOT AN AYCE!! We ordered the two tail lobster special One pound of peeled shrimp One rice Total came out to $82 BEFORE TIP Overall, food took a while despite us being the ONLY ones in the restaurant and the food was very disappointing considering its price. This place is not worth the visit.
The Cajun sauce if definitely different, if not the best, than other Cajun places around. The garlic butter was not as special, however. Seafood was fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth going back to for those easy lunch/dinner outings.
One of the best Cajun boil places we’ve ever been to. FYI, they have updated the combos to have double the potato’s and corn vs what is stated in the menu! We had combo #2, and everything was delicious. Love that they have three choices for shrimp: head on/ shell on / peeled.
