What Sylvia Petry likes about The Lobster Shack:
Ordered the fried whole belly clams, oysters on the half shell, fried calamari, and lobster roll CT style. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and fresh. We found the portion sizes to be generous and the prices are very reasonable. The patio and cabana seating was beautiful. Nice new England vibe. We live about 45 minutes away and wouldn't hesitate to return. The staff was very attentive. Worth every... View all feedback. What Travel Entity doesn't like about The Lobster Shack:
Had 2 lobster rolls the Compo and Classic Maine. They looked pretty but Lobster on both was overcooked. Very overpriced at $60 for 2 lobster rolls that were a bit rubbery and coleslaw that tasted store bought. The staff member that served us was very nice. Won't be back, not worth the price. We don't recommend as they're overpriced for the quality. View all feedback.
