What rob likes about Alive Kicking Lobsters:
Atmosphere: First time trying lobster. Next to the van with a brilliantly endearing lobster mascot, were easily 30+ crab traps stacked 3 or 4 tall, great fresh smell of seafood in the air, and a counter as soon as you arrive to order and eat outside. Everything I wanted from a seafood place, absolutely perfect. Sweet and juicy lobster sandwich with a perfect pairing of salty chips. Not a cheap option, but you're gett... View all feedback. What Richard G doesn't like about Alive Kicking Lobsters:
Over priced lobster sandwiches. We paid $96 for three lobster sandwiches. The sandwiches were average. There was not a lot of lobster in the sandwiches. They were served on toasted white bread and came with a bag of chips. The parking lot is small. The street parking is limited. Unimpressive lobster experience. View all feedback.
