    Lobster Sandwich with fries
    Rola G.

    This seafood restaurant located in St.Lawrence market was absolutely worth the hype. I kept seeing tiktok's all over my for you page, and I had to try! I ordered a Lobster Sandwich with fries, and it was super delicious. The workers were super quick to take our orders and prepare the food. The seating was a bit crammed and busy, but it's expected since the market is a very popular place. The vibe of the area was a bit dull, but nonetheless I still enjoyed my time. My food was super delicious, and worth the $28.

    This was awesome and I would definitely recommend coming here. I think everyone who goes to St. Lawrence Market has to come here and get the lobster roll. Evidently, everyone who was there when we were there was in line for this place. We got the swordfish, which was cooked super duper well, and the rice was so fragrant. We also got the lobster roll, and it was so tender and juicy, and they did not skimp out on the lobster. We also got the corn on the cobs with their spicy lemony rub, and it was soooo lemony and delicious in the best way. The ambiance was great because it's in St. Lawrence Market, so very bustling and busy. You can also take your food outside and sit at the picnic tables.

    This is a very popular eatery at St. Lawrence Market. Set up is food court style where you order from the counter and wait for your order to be called when ready. There is limited seating in the area and it's first come first serve style. Menu is all seafood from fish to calamari to many shellfish items. Sandwiches can be made into a combo for about 4 dollars more and you have the choice of salad, rice or fries. What was ordered: Calamari Po'Boy with a side salad Grilled Mahi Mahi Sandwich The sandwiches include lettuce, tomato and onions, in some cases, and also a little container of coleslaw. The grilled Mahi Mahi was fresh and flakey with a light seasoning. Generous portion of fried calamari in the po'boy which is drizzled in a aioli. A bit messy to eat. This is a pricier option in the market but worth a try if you like seafood.

    My gf and I came to St Lawrence Market for my bday and we saw a massive line over at Buster's Sea Cove. It had been in my bookmarks for awhile, so we eagerly headed over and got in line. We got a lobster roll with fries. The food was good! The bun was buttery, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. There was decent amount of lobster running through it and the squeeze of lemon was just perfect to provide some cutback on the mayo and some zestyness. The fries were also of the shoestring variety and very crispy. They also included a pickle in the box. Food was good. Was it worth the price of $20+? I'm not so sure tbh. It's teetering right there for me on worth it and not worth it territory. For charging $20+ I felt like they could've added slightly more lobster to the roll. Nevertheless, I'd return in the future. The soups piqued my curiosity.

    Delicious. My family said the mussels were the best they ever had. So tender. The tomato wine sauce was AMAZING. Even I enjoyed that despite not liking mussels. Well seasoned. Spicy. Flavorful. So good. We also got the lobster roll, which was good - not a lot of lobster meat but flavor was good. As my husband pointed out, the price was low so you can't expect a lot of lobster. The crab cakes were ok - a bit too fried for my liking but they were good.

    I loved Buster's sea cove and forget the yelp reviews....the line was long and the seafood fresh. Great lobster roll....heads up....it is a lobster salad with light mayo and seasonings. Great fries. Crab, shrimp, and fish looked great. I would come back

    St Lawrence market location is an anchor of the market. Limited communal seating, large menu and very fresh seafood is offered. The Lobster bisque is delicious. More red pepper forward.flavour, the lobster is in every spoonful. We didnt love the clam chowder flavour, maynr we should have insiater the server ladel from the bottom of the pot inatead of the surface like we witnessed. The clam strips are great and large portioned, the coleslaw lightly drrssed crisp and flavourful. The Poboy shrimp were a bit overbattered, but the crab cakes were busting out with crab and shoe string potatoes were great. Loved the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce had a nice bite to it.

    No wonder why they have a very long line... bec their food is undeniably good! U just have to learn to eat standing up or wait for people to finish so you can enjoy your meal sitting down

    We walked to St. Lawrence Market after visiting the Underpass Farmer's Market looking for something to eat for dinner. I wanted the clam chowder, but unfortunately was told it sold out. We ended up going for the crabcake sandwich and the featured crabmeat sandwich combo. The featured sandwich was good but I found my crabcake sandwich could use some more sauce as i found it on the dryer end. There's limited seating with one bigger communal table that can fit 8 and some bar seating around the corner.

    Busy busy busy ... the line is the longest in St. Lawrence Market but it moves pretty quick. It helped that there was someone who wrote down my order on a piece of paper and radio'ed it in to the people at the counter/kitchen. When I asked the young lady who took my order what was the most popular item was, she said that most people wait on line for their lobster roll. So of course I ordered it. I never had a lobster roll that was chopped up. Can't really say I like it that way .. I enjoy substantial pieces of lobster, not chopped up pieces. Will I return? Maybe ... but I'll definitely order something else.

    NO CREDIT CARDS. But they allow debit card and cash. Located in the very back from the main entrance of St Lawrence Market. Came on a weekday around 10AM, and there was no line. There was a shared table with 8 seats, as well as counter top seating on stools. Food: Overall, I would probably try a different fish option for the fish&chips because the halibut was a dry. I still recommend the lobster roll, because holy moly, that is the most lobster meat I have seen in a lobster roll, but I really wish they would add more mayo sauce or alternatively drench it in butter (the latter may be the more American Connecticut-style). - Fries were fairly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Not as salted as I was used to, but I am from the USA so probably am accustomed to eating way too much salt in my dishes. - Lobster roll and fries ($22.15): This was the most abundant amount of lobster meat I have ever eaten in a lobster roll, and more so considering the low price (compared to every other lobster roll I have ever eaten in the United States, which is a lot of lobster rolls). Yet ... I was not satisfied. The amount of mayo dressing was scant, so it was basically like I was just eating a lobster. Which is perfectly fine (again, SO MUCH meat for the price), but I was expecting a lobster roll with the meat and dressing. The bread was also a bit strange, with a harder shell than the toasted fluffy buns I am accustomed to. -Fish (halibut) and fries ($21.25): The white fish meat was a bit dry, but the batter was crunchy. The included tartar sauce was creamy and a nice accompaniment.

    People who are saying that Buster's lobster roll is the best and delicious probably haven't tried other lobster rolls. Quite the contrary, it was the worst lobster rolls I've ever had. From the hard bun to the tasteless lobster, everything about this sandwich is so terrible. The lobster meat has a fishy odour so you already know it's not fresh which is surprising since they have access to fresh seafood within the market. It's also doused with too much mayo that it overpowers the sweet delicate flavour of the lobster. Ordered their Haddock & Chips and it's so greasy and oily. Order comes with a generous serving of shoestring fries which are mostly bland. The free side coleslaw is flavourless and best not to get. Overrated/overpriced/overhyped, I'm not coming back nor recommending this place.

It's a small, elegant space that feels both intimate and deliberate, with every detail carefully thought through. What we ordered: foie gras, octopus, Caesar salad, and a range of steaks. The meal begins with amuse-bouche -- little bites that quietly announce the kitchen knows what it's doing. The food: exceptional across the board. The foie gras is rich and perfectly seared, the octopus tender with a bit of char, and the steaks are cooked and seasoned with precision. Every course feels intentional and balanced.

The team moves with quiet efficiency and professionalism throughout the night. Overall: not the best value in town, but easily one of the best steak experiences in Toronto. Perfect for a special dinner, an anniversary, or softening the sting of a tough loss at Scotiabank Arena.

While their primary focus is very much still lobster, they have added steak as a staple for their restaurants. They now offer aged Canadian beef steak along with their lobster.

I'd say almost too busy and not enough staff because I can tell every server was completely swamped. However the staff were still incredibly polite and helpful. I would recommend this place, especially if you have a birthday or friends/family visiting, it's worth getting the lobster and experiencing it. Just keep in mind that you're definitely paying decent price for what you get. Our dinner was $500 after tax and tips. (Note: the month of September had an offer where if your party had anyone over 65 years, you'd get 15% off. So our price would've been roughly $575 without that promo)

Personally for me- there wasn't a lot of pay off of crab meat after wrestling at its shell. The lobster was good but the flavour was disguised from all the deep friedness & oil. Apparently the bed of fries used to be a higher quality side in the past too.

Every dish had an excellent presentation. We spent a lot of time taking photos and videos. What did you expect from me?! We loved all the dishes! The portions were large! There are more staff than in the previous location, allowing the service to be excellent. They tend to have many loyal and returning customers. Every table starts with freshly baked bread and butter. The bread was so fresh! The three appetizers tasted good. They each had a little kick due to creole cuisine. I loved the shrimp the most. The Blackened Lamb Chops was perfectly cooked. Each of the four pieces were very tender, accompanied by a delicious sauce. The dish had some very nicely cooked seasonal vegetables: roasted potatoes, a red pepper, string beans, a broccoli, and a carrot. This dish will be put into their regular menu in the near future. The New Orleans Fisherman's Plate is great if you want a little sampling of their seafood: Blackened Fish, Cajun Calamari, and Coconut Beer Shrimp. It also comes with rice and seasonal vegetables. The fish was so good! We brought some home for my mom and she really loved it. The Coconut Beer Shrimp was on top of a Orange Marmalade Sauce, which is really liked. The three desserts looked really good and tasted good. I loved the pecan pie the most. They can split dishes in half in the kitchen and serve them on two dishes for two people to share. The restaurant uses fresh seasonal ingredients and spices to create authentic Creole and Cajun tastes. Everything is made in-house except for bread and butter. In the near future, their bread will be made in-house too. Currently, there is only indoor dining but they are looking into the possibility of sidewalk outdoor dining. Mike Djurdjevic runs the front of the house while his wife, Mira Djurdjevic, operates the kitchen. Their son, Marko, also helps in the front of the house. There is a large pizza oven at the back of the restaurant. They will be introducing creole pizza in the near future. There is a separate large room for events, parties, etc. This room will be ready in the near future. They also do catering. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, which is also wheelchair accessible, and one female washroom. Thrre is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-037
