★★★★☆ 4.0 Syd Grant · Mar 2026

Heading out of the airport back home and ran across this looking for good seafood. What’s really convenient is that it’s about a mile and a half from the airport. We stopped by on a Thursday night and had no problem getting in and getting a table they have inside seating and outside seating, but it was a bit chilly for outside. What was really cool was seeing the live lobsters and crabs in a tanks when you walk in. The prices are very reasonable too for the size of lobsters. I however, chose to have the lobster chowder in a sourdough bowl. I added a side of coleslaw too my work partner went with a 1 pound lobster which once again was a pretty reasonable price. The chowder was really good, but honestly, the bread bowl overpowered it. That sourdough bread was amazing and crunchy and a top

I mean, why didn’t we discover this place sooner?! This is a legit lobster spot with a super fun, laid-back vibe. The outdoor seating is fantastic — rustic farmhouse style with wooden picnic tables, red umbrellas everywhere, and a wide open space that feels sunny, relaxed, and welcoming. Indoor and outdoor areas flow together really nicely. It’s also very dog-friendly, with plenty of room for our dog babies to stretch out and hang comfortably. And yes, the food absolutely delivers — tons of seafood options and everything we tried was delicious. Service was excellent too. This is an easy “we’ll definitely be back” kind of place.

They have live seafood available for selection. The lobster isn't cheap and is priced by weight. Each order comes with bread and potato chips. I'd recommend coming during Happy Hour for better value. The lobster bisque is packed with corn and lobster meat, making it very filling. As for the bucket of shrimp, the portion looks huge, but the bottom two-thirds is actually filled with ice, so the amount of food is quite manageable for one person. There’s parking nearby, so it’s fairly easy to find a spot.

★★★★★ 5.0 Erubiel Valladares · Jan 2026

The best space to eat crabs and lobster and anything else that has a relationship with the sea. The best part for me. Nearly everyone here spoke Spanish and it show the high quality cooking and systems to produce deliciousness. While my flight got rescheduled and had 8+ hrs to use. This is a great spot to visit get rid off your hangryness and get the good vibe from folks that work here and are proud. Will come again! Keep it up and yes. Say No to Pot. (You will get it. Once you see the t-shirts.

★★★★★ 5.0 James Wang · Dec 2025

A food truck that 13 years ago turned into a restaurant. Known for $1.95 Happy Hour oysters (select options) from 3-6 PM M-F and daily specials M-Th on lobster based foods. As the name suggests, they're mostly known for their lobster and their menu truly doesn't have much for those seeking other options. However, their lobster options are quite varied. The best part is their toasted bread that accompanies all the lobster options and their homemade, freshly baked potato chips. They have a lovely and spacious indoor dining area but also a vast outdoor dining area as well. Napkins are aplenty on tables as well as various sauces. Prices are well-advertised on both a physical and digital menu. The staff are incredibly kind and bring the food out quickly.
