Absolutely delicious! I had the lobster mixed with other seafood very fresh and amazing. I sat at the bar. The customer service was great, super friendly. The only thing that was a little hard was the parking lot because there was so many people in there on a weekday. read more

It's been a minute since I've eaten here. Being a local I'm always recommending this spot especially the outdoor deck with a good amount of live acoustic sets from local musicians. Good solid menu of great seafood and shareable plates,friendly staff and good drinks makes for a perfect experience day or night. read more

Wow! Such a great place and right off the highway. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is fairly big with lots of seating. We were at a table with a view and loved it. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. We ordered fish and chips and a lobster roll. Everything was perfect. The fish and chips portion was huge so obviously took a to-go box. The bartender went above and beyond to bring over the NA beer options and a chilled glass...plus he gave his feedback on them. It was excellent service and very unexpected. Our server did a fantastic job checking in on us and making sure we were all set. I recommend checking it out because it's worth it. read more

We were looking for a place with a whole lobster and stumbled on Lobsta Land. They seated us outside and it was a nice beautiful day to sit on the patio. I cannot remember the server's name but she mentioned she had been working there for quite a few years and you can tell. She definitely knew her stuff and she was quick especially with new cocktails. Between 7 of us we ordered a nice variety of food starting with a 2lb lobster, lobster roll, truffle fries, tuna poke tower, clams, scallops, and fried seafood dish that included calamari, shrimp and crab cakes. I don't think anyone had a single complaint on what they ordered to eat. Overall good meal and fun place that is good for large groups. read more

Visiting town and locals recommended this spot. It was super busy at dinner time, so we knew it must be good. Didn't like that a lot of dishes were fried, but the food was good, drinks were good and the service was great! The French onion crock was good. However the Tuna Tower was amazing! I'd order that again in a heartbeat. Lazyman's lobsta was awesome. This is a great little sports bar restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Causal atmosphere and lively! read more

My husband and I had a delightful and delicious dinner at Lobsta Land last week. The service was excellent, the meal was plentiful, and the restaurant itself was busy with family and friends gathering. I wish there was some sort of reservation system, though. read more

The Mondello's rented a place down by the beach so I went to visit. Mrs. M & I hit the beach for the day (Larry Sr had to work) & hit Lobsta Land up for a late lunch. PRO- Nice, well ventilated (fans everywhere) deck, overlooking the Marsh. Glass panels kept the flies & the wind at bay. Waitress's were super nice, two of them had been there for DECADES they told us. Nice to hear. Started with a side order of fried clams. They were YUMMY! Crisp & fresh & plentiful. I ordered the Portuguese Seafood Stew & a nice glass of Chard as my main meal. Mrs. M had the fish tacos & a beer. Our waitress kept our water glasses full (I was pretty parched after a day at the beach). Food was excellent, we both enjoyed it. Mrs. M took tacos home even, the serving was so large. My stew, white fish in tomato broth, with shrimp, clams & mussels, was really good. read more

Saturday evening had an early dinner with my mama at Lobsta Land, I've heard great things and this is my first time here. Got here at 5:30 and was seated at a high top at the bar. Our service was good for how busy it was. Three times we had to wave our waitress over to get refills and one for a problem with our meal (she never checked on us when the food runner dropped it off). We decided to split the fisherman's platter and sub out coleslaw for rice pilaf. The platter was much more expensive compared to places in the area and even Boston. A high whopping $60! I will say, it was good. Very skimpy on the shrimp and scallops. We had three scallops and 4 shrimp, it was a lot of calamari. The food was good but not worth that price for what you get. Maybe I will try something different next time! read more

Great food, excellent food, good place to hang with friends. Would visit again. Parking lot needs to be bigger.

The food speaks for itself. Always delicious. Consistent the takonka fingers . But the owner. Who still busts his booty every night. Carrying trays. Helping wherever needed. The staff amazing. I'll go back time and time again read more

This is THE spot! The place can accommodate all party sizes. We went there with some friends and were surrounded by people on dates, families enjoying lunch together and also big group of friends. The energy is fun and relaxing. The staff is friendly and on top of it. They were busy and quick at rotating tables, in the most efficient way without ever rushing anyone. We loved everything we shared, the combo platter, the mussels, the ceasar salad and the seafood bouillabaisse! The seafood bouillabaisse was absolutely DELICIOUS! - even in hot summer weather. I cannot wait to have it again! Their fries were delicious and so were their coconut shrimps! The view, the vibe, the food. It hits all the spots. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable. Recommend it to everyone! read more

Extensive menu with awesome views of the water marsh when you choose to sit outside. I appreciate the glass windows outside, which helps breaks up the wind, so you can actually enjoy your meal without worry about things flying around. I had a hard time choosing what to get, but the lobster BLTA was delicious. Plenty to lobster and the bun was perfectly grilled. The side pickle was literally the crunchiest pickle I've ever been served. The side of fries filled the void, but I saw someone at the table next to us get the pasta salad, and that's what I would try next time. Looking forward to coming back when visiting family and trying the other seafood dishes on the menu. read more

I cannot imagine a better place to bring my family from Kansas to experience excellent seafood than Lobsta Land. This was the second time in two weeks that I have entertained friends and the quality and variety of the offerings is amazing. On November 14, we celebrated her 75th birthday with my sister-in-law and brother, and they were delighted by the food and the service provided by Robyn C, our gracious server. We have found that the servings are more than ample, and the prices are reasonable. We had the following: Paella, Salmon Risotto, Seafood Risotto, and Scallops (broiled). We enjoyed Allagash Draft and Corey's Seasonal beers, along with a J Lohr chardonnay. We had enough of each dish to bring something home for the next day. Lobsta Land knows seafood and it's a great family restaurant. It was a quiet night, with a full moon pouring light onto our table. What a warm and inviting restaurant, and it's no surprise that they have been successful for so many years. read more

After spending on a huge bill with a group of friends we decided to venture out in one vehicle. I came back not too long to a nasty note. I posted a Google review and this place had the audacity to double down saying it's "impossible for me to have eaten there". They were upset that I was parked there before they open. Who cares!? you're not even open. I drove from 2 hours away! I don't have the receipt but will be posting my credit card report when I get it! Horrible experience! Terrible customer service read more

Make reservations if you can. We stopped by Sunday night at 5:30 and was told it would be a 45 min wait. Clearly a popular spot with the locals. Casual ambience with indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Ordered the crab cake and scallop satay for apps and the bouillabaisse for dinner. Everything was really delicious. Service was friendly but inconsistent and I think it was cause of how busy they were. Water was never brought, drinks never checked on. Luckily the food was good which made up for the service. read more

Went here on recommendation of friends and our fishing captain. 30 minute wait on a Wednesday night at 7 in September. Not terrible. Very busy ambience which is nice compared to a lot of low energy places. Service was good but not fantastic. Food was mixed. Tuna tower was outstanding. Wedge salad was huge, but came with sad flavorless whole cherry tomatoes like you get at grocery in winter. Blue cheese dressing was not enough for the size of the wedge. Server saw this when delivering and did rectify. However the flavor of the dressing just made me want to go home and make my own. Fried haddock was not near as fresh as what we had the next day at the lobster pool. Paella was very good though. . read more

1 star and I'm generous. OMG. This place was recommended by a friend. We flew in today from Utah and were looking forward to a New England dinner experience ( chowder, lobster ) We ordered 2 1 1/2 pound.lobsters. One was too cooked , the other one was a soft shell not even a pound. After asking why should we be charged for a full price 1 1/2 pound lobster , the manager said the risk was on us until we showed her picture of the the small piece of meat coming out of our lobster tail. It looked like a shrimp. The young server was super sweet , summer student but clearly nobody had trained her. Ordered 2 cups of chowder that never showed up. Sorry she said. If you're going to charge these prices , please train your staff. Anyhow , this should not be on your itinerary for a New England dinner. What a rip off. Anyhow, what a disappointment read more

Lobsta Land - It's supposed to be 2 1/12pound lobsters. Really? What a ripoff! We left so disappointed - Seafood Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

Always a perfect meal. Love the outside seating area. There's frequently a wait time, but worth every minute!

Such a great meal!!! The seafood risotto was incredible. Huge chunks of lobster all throughout. My fiancée got the pound and a quarter lobster....delicious. If you sit in the bar area ask for Megan. She was great. Super helpful for 2 out of towners!!! read more

This seems to be a popular spot so be sure to make a reservation! That said, we were told 45min of waiting time to get any seating that becomes available. After maybe 20min our buzzer flashed/vibrated. Got seating at the heart of the restaurant-the bar. It's buzzing and it's loud. Not the music but just people talking...... Outdoor seating is likely much more quiet and overlooking the marsh. Service is quick. Drinks came right away. Food took a bit longer. Presentation is good (haddock tacos and ahi tuna tower). It was ok but not overwhelmingly good. Heaps better than any seafood shack near and far. We are always looking for creative dishes and presentation not the usual tourists traps. I'd recommend this because of atmosphere, nice view of the marsh and menu options. Would I come back. Likely. But only with reservations to get a nice patio seat with view. read more

Great seafood spot w huge portions! We always saw this place driving by and decide to give this place a try since the parking lot is always full of cars! Ordered fried clams which was market price -$37 and the portions were HUGE! It was the largest batch of fried clams ive ever seen for the price. Husband ordered their dinner special which was fried bass w chili sauce and that was amazing as well! The chili sauce had a nice heat and the fish was fried perfectly with white buttery flesh! Worth a visit if you're in the area read more

The seafood is excellent! While I can't recall the size I ordered, the lobster was delicious and fresh! Additionally, the ambiance was lively--I can tell that this is a spot that many locals like to come to. Another family member of mine ordered the fish and chips, and they were very generous with the proportions. All to say, this is a great seafood spot! read more

I went to Lobsta Land last week with a friend and my dog. The restaurant was very full but the host offered to seat us at the outdoor bar. It quickly became apparent that my dog would not be comfortable between my stool and the bar and the bartender was right there to suggest that she put our name in for a table. She said that we would have to leave the bar while we waited but told us to grab a couple of Adirondack chairs on the deck where they would deliver our drinks. It was a very comfortable space where we stayed for no longer than 10 minutes before being led to our table. Once we were seated, a large bowl of ice water was brought over for the dog, who had plenty of space. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating and the lobster rolls were delicious. We'll definitely be back. read more

We had the Lobsta Roll and Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. It was a 30 min wait but we got in much sooner. There is a relaxing patio in the back of you want to grab a drink and wait for your table. The service was great and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back. read more

My sister-in-law was visiting from the Midwest and wanted fresh lobster. We drove two hours from Western Massachusetts to fulfill her wishes. The calamari appetizer was delicious, but the lobster was so disappointing! it was the worst lobster we've ever had- tough and chewy. We couldn't even finish it. When we complained to the management, they said they would "fix" our check. They ended up charging us the full price PLUS an extra $38.50 for an item we didn't even order! We eventually got that taken off the bill and a $12 "reduction" for the two inedible lobsters. What a disappointing experience for our visitor! read more

The views and food are always top notch. I went with a friend and put our name in at the front desk for a table outside. We were quoted 25 minutes. We went outside and ordered a drink at the bar to relax while we waited to be paged. After 45 minutes we realized people who arrived after us were being seated, I checked in at the front. For some reason my name was still there and everyone else below us was crossed off. Not sure why they skipped our party of 2 and sat multiple other 2-4 tops but we were seated after an hour of waiting. Our top notch server Amy made all the difference, she was wonderful! Next time I'll be sure to circle back to the front to be sure we aren't skipped. read more

I am still dreaming about my lobster dinner. I will be back in the future Because this place is perfect! For starters we had calamari which was amazing. For dinner I had the 1 lb lobster with mashed potatoes and veggies. The portions are so large but everything was fresh and flavorful. There was a decent wait but we grabbed a drink at the bar and waited on the patio for about 45 mins but 100% worth the wait. #ThankYouThursday read more
