I was a bit nervous ordering lobster rolls in Cape May but La La Lobster blew our expectations out of the water! (And we ordered DoorDash, no less!) Our Airbnb was about 20 min away, so we got some wine and had the rolls (with extra lobster) delivered. They were DELICIOUS and sooo full! The perfect evening on the cape!

Classic lobster roll
Caleb F.

Overall, a very average lobster roll. The photo is of the classic lobster roll. The other reviews on here are definitely overhyping this place. Slightly overbuttered. Not much else flavor going on. Cost ($24) is reasonable given that I've paid $30-$50 in the past for a roll. Right next to the beach which is nice.

We wanted a Lobster roll so we tried this Cape May favorite. I'm glad we did as our sandwiches were very tasty. The prices were fair and the staff was very friendly. There is plenty of paid street parking which is normal in this area. Tons of metal chairs and tables (the chairs were a bit uncomfortable). I will definitely be back soon!

A quick and delicious spot. I got the lobster bowl and he got the lobster roll and we both got extra protein! It was delicious tho I'm more of a shrimp girly but I won't penalize them for that. Everything was delicious and fresh but i wish it was a little bit more bold flavors. It's almost on the beach and it almost feels like you are a caffe but again quick and filling. Check it out when you can!

Great beachside lobster shack. For a beachside lobster spot, some tasty sandwiches. We loved the spicy lobster rolls, just perfect!!

Lobster tacos and lobster roll with 50% more meat!

A really perfect day topped off with a delicious lobster roll! The lobster meat was fresh and not overdressed with mayo like other places serve them. The roll was buttery and the pickle was a nice crunchy addition. Service was friendly and the order was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. There is seating outside and limited seating inside. Ambiance was great as we were right by the waters and the beach! Would highly recommend this place to any lobster lover!

This was my 1st lobster roll and it tasted amazing. The only reason it is gettin 4 stars is because I wish the portions were bigger . I ate it and still wanted more . That in itself is a good indicator that the roll was delicious. For beach goers, this is the perfect spot for quick lunch before you head to the beach or a nice roll to take with you on your drive home. I loved the mixture of Mayo and celery. It paired well with the juicy lobster. The customer service was good and the employees were helpful in answering all my questions and even recommended this roll as one of the favorites!

Great lobster rolls for a quick snack while in Cape May. This spot is right on the boardwalk and conveniently has some tables and chairs where you can lounge while eating. We got the classic and tangy. Both were good, but preferred the classic roll. Light yet filling. Workers were nice and service was at a moderate pace -- equal to most of the service in Cape May.

Excellence service & food

We did a yelp search for dinner places while visiting Cape May, NJ and La La Lobster had better reviews than many of the other places. It's definitely a casual restaurant with outstanding quality food, and super fast service. We loved the first round of lobster rolls, so we went for seconds. My teenage kids were so happy to find authentic Jersey Shore Lobster Rolls. We will definitely return the next time we are in Cape May. Bonus Tip - Pay a few dollars extra for 50% more lobster. We tried the #1 with butter and #2 with salad / celery, both were excellent, but out favorite was the "salad" Lobster Roll.

Getting a lobster roll was a must on our trip to Cape May - I had never had one before, and this was the place to break that streak! We found La La Lobster through Yelp and Google Reviews, and given its proximity and great reviews, we gave it a try. It's located right off the beach in a little strip with a few other stores / restaurants. They have a fairly small sign, so you might miss it if you didn't know it was there! There are a few tables / chairs to sit in right by the storefront, but also ample seating around the bend of the small shopping strip. We stopped by for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and we were pleased to find no line. The menu actually has a lot of options, which I wasn't expecting for a lobster roll spot, but nice to have the variety. I was intrigued by their various lobster preparations, and I wasn't anticipating having options for "sauces". Not being a huge fan of mayo, I went for the mango prep of my roll, and it was so delicious! It really brought out the freshness of the lobster, and it was nice to have a sweet pairing that still seasonal and had a hint of spice to it with the peppers. The lobster itself was nicely cooked, and it was all enclosed in a heavily buttered (appropriately so) roll. I was definitely impressed with it, and it was a great first experience! My husband got the spicy take on the lobster roll, which he also enjoyed! Of course, prices are steep for lobster, but I felt it was a fair deal for the amount of meat on our roll, the unique sauces, and the accompanying chips. La La Lobster was a great intro to lobster roll for me, and it was a great late lunch / early dinner! Would definitely recommend La La Lobster for anyone looking for a quick, quality, summery meal!

Ask the Community - La La Lobster - Cape May

How far in advance is the lobster cooked and the meat extracted? (Is the lobster fresh or frozen?) It certainly wasn't at the time of purchase, or the service would have been much slower.

Do not know the answers. My question is did you eat the lobster and did you like it? If yes, then processing really doesn't matter. I know I'll be back this week.

Hi are you dog-friendly?

There is outside seating, and there is a pet store across the way. Happy eating and shopping.

I wasn't planning on reviews while on my vacation, but Hubs asked for this one. While there are…read moreseveral places in Cape May to get a Lobster Roll, we chose Cape May Fish Market because it had lots of seating indoors & out. It was quite chilly while we visited Cape May so we really wanted to sit inside. First, the positive: The place is clean and the staff is nice. The Lobster Roll is delicious and the Shrimp Cesar Salad tasted good, but this is also where it goes bad. It is a huge salad and only had 3 shrimp. The cost of the salad is the same as the Lobster Roll. There is no way a salad should cost 26.99 and only have 3 shrimp. A pound of shrimp market value is approximately $25.99 depending on size & location. When it was expressed to our server, she quoted market price increases and that we could order more shrimp at an upcharge. If market price for shrimp is that bad, take it off the menu or offer alternatives like adding chicken that won't result in an upcharge or advise your customers upon ordering that they'd only get 3 shrimp. Hubs probably would have ordered something else. It's Cape May Fish Market so they should be upfront about their seafood. I didn't really care for the fact that we asked about it and were brushed off. While we'll definitely return to Cape May, we may not return here. .

We ordered calamari to share as well as the Double Smash Burger, Lobster Roll, and the Blackened Salmon Po Boy. We all enjoyed our food. I typically order the Crab Cake Tacos and I regret not ordering them. The Lobster Roll was tasty but I do not enjoy the lobster salad being chopped up small as it was. It wasn't a traditional Lobster Roll preparation and I didn't realize it was $29. I regretted my selection.

The spaces are fairly narrow, though, so be careful to park fully between the white lines. If you come in through the back entrance near the bar, you'll need to turn right and walk all the way to the front to find the hostess stand. The bar-area staff seemed a little annoyed when people asked where the hostess stand or restrooms were, although I imagine they probably get those questions often. The hostess was pleasant and seated us promptly. One note for anyone who tends to get cold: bring a cardigan or light jacket. There was a floor vent right beside our table, and I got pretty chilly as the evening went on. The menu offered a wide range of options, from pork chops and duck to salmon, but I was not especially excited by many of the pairings. I started with the crab soup and ordered the blackened sea bass special with coconut rice for my entrée. For the table, we shared the bang bang shrimp and burrata. Both were adequately portioned for our party of five. The bang bang shrimp had the right amount of heat, and the burrata was a nice combination of warm pita bread, portobello mushroom, cooked red peppers, fresh greens, and burrata. I would recommend both appetizers. My crab soup arrived hot and was perfectly seasoned. The spice level was just right, and I liked the balance of small strips of crab throughout, along with a few larger pieces. In my opinion, it had an excellent ratio of crab meat, vegetables, and broth. Unfortunately, the entrées were less impressive. They were all beautifully presented--colorful and nicely portioned--but the flavors left something to be desired. My sea bass was certainly blackened, but I would have enjoyed it much more if the skin had been crisp. Instead, it was soggy, likely because it was placed directly on top of the coconut rice, which also became soggy. The mango pieces were larger than necessary, and there was far too much of the tomato, green pepper, and onion mixture on top. At $46, I expected more in terms of flavor. On a positive note, our waitress was friendly and professional, and the young man who brought out our food was pleasant as well. The food also arrived quickly. Since this was my first visit to the area, I would like to explore other local restaurants before returning. Still, I would not be opposed to giving Oyster Bay Restaurant & Bar another chance and trying a different entrée--possibly the swordfish.

I read a lot of reviews about the food lacking in flavor and was a tad worried. However, I didn't mind the simple flavors and thought my curry shrimp dish tasted fresh and spiced just right. I would have appreciated more curry to coat the rice, but no complaints overall on that dish. Tasted very homemade and I spared no crumbs! I was highly looking forward to tasting dessert having read that they are made in house. Plus, Louisa's owns the chocolate store next door. I ordered the chocolate bread pudding with caramel and sea salt, and sadly it was refrigerator cold. I wish there would have been a flag somewhere because biting into it expecting a warm dessert wasn't particularly pleasant. I ended up taking it to go and it was lovely warmed up. The flavors really shun through. I later noticed "warm" was included in the description of the vanilla bread pudding. In terms of the service, some of the waitstaff appeared to be students and they were nice but a little robotic. I was asked if I wanted my check while still chewing on my food. The restaurant was fairly empty. There was also no acknowledgement when I noted I thought the bread pudding would be warm. My food came out quickly. The table next to me waited a bit and we were the only two outside. Overall some growing to do in this area, but okay. I loved the decor. Thought it was charming and pleasant on the eyes. Sitting outside people watching was a treat. I would give Louisa's another chance.
