The Queens of BK LOBSTER are setting an extremely high bar and this is coming from someone who just drove an hour to devour a few items from there eyecatcher of a menu.
Everywhere I looked there was more I wanted to order. People I stood in front of the self-order station for 10 minutes, even though I thoroughly read the menu several times before my arrival, albeit, a few days ago.
The owner was present and so helpful at assisting with my order, because honestly, I could have ordered double of what I did. Geri/Jerri(please correct me) is such a welcomed and beautiful presence from the tribute to her mom, to the aesthetic in her business to the primo staff and such a new, vibrant take on a Seafood menu. Let me tell you ALL, Sis has put big thoughts, community and love into cultivating this menu.
Most "TO-GO" spots offer your standards: Whiting, Catfish, Tilapia,etc. Not here and I'm sold already. HADDOCK, SNAPPER and seasoning that calls out to the muti-dynamics that our people share. The fragrance of seafood filled the air and my decisiveness went out of the window!
My order: Snapper Bites, Kids BK LOBSTER Roll ( comes with fries), Shrimp Taco's and Fried Rice.
I am literally writing this review and hungrily awaiting my order....Now to busines:
My food was properly packed and placed on the counter for my approval. Everything looked great. I couldn't wait to dive in! So I chose 1 of the 4 sturdy, metal stools and began to eat.
Lobster roll 1st: AWESOME...I wouldn't change a thing. Generous portion of lobster, BK sauce was a compliment to the fried crustecean, eyes rolling as I chomp down on this seafood delight. I was completely immersed in the experience. My lobster was executed perfectly and I enjoyed every bit. Sidebar: I'm NOT big on bread, to me it's an edible plate/food holder(there are a few exceptions, but they exist). There seemed to be the perfect ratio of lobster to butter to bread. I'm so glad I was eating alone because I know I unhinged my jaw to get the "perfect bite" and I did. Delish...
The SNAPPER bites were snapping. The red and green peppers gave it a different flavor. This is unique to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. With a squeeze of lemon juice, enough said. A very solid recipe and execution. And there was more than enough to share with another, which I did begrudgingly...
The Shrimp Taco's, 2 per order, were so good. Everything tasted SUPER FRESH, with the perfect amount of toppings. I wouldn't change a thing. Oh and BTW folks, this seafood is NOT heavily battered. The shrimp are grilled, flavorful, plump and srcump-dilly-umptious.
Flag on the play! The FRIED RICE...My fault. Human error. Sorry folks I neglected to get shrimp or lobster in my rice. Ikr, it's breaking me up inside too. That just makes me want to come back again sooner. However, Chef Crystal is truly a gem! The love is reflected in the food. This is not your local carry-out's rice. It's also made with a mix of peppers and rice, fried perfectly without being greasy.
For me, this was a truly amazing experience. I felt I was amongst family and we were all waiting for Big Momma so we could break bread. I appreciate the ladies of BK LOBSTER. You have a customer for life! Outstanding first time experience. See you soon! read more
