This is an island MUST! Every time we're in Cozumel we come here. Where else can you get a lobster roll for $12?! The owner is super nice! The service is outstanding, and the price is unmet. We've tried everything on the menu and it's great! The lobster roll and bowls are my personal faves however. Very filling! Cash only. You can sit inside and watch the chef work or outside and enjoy the sea breeze. read more

Lobster Shack - Lobster bowl. Comes with slaw and chips. Lobster bowl contains: rice, beans, lettuce, pico, avocado, and of course lobster. - Seafood Near Me - Cozumel, ROO

We did a day visit to Cozumel and Lobster Shack is located not far from the ferry port. With all the rave reviews, we had to stop by. It's a small restaurant with few seats inside and a couple of tables outside. We started with one Lobster Roll $260 before committing to getting four orders. It came with a side of tortilla chips and coleslaw. It was just alright, nothing really special or worth writing home about. We were glad we started with just the one as it would have been a lackluster experience. The roll was a bit dry and the coleslaw was bleh. We all took a bite and we concluded that we did not want to order anymore. Service was pleasant though. read more

Honestly nothing to write home about. No mexican twist or fusion. If you're just craving a lobster roll, it's not bad. It's pricey. I saw the high yelp ratings and was excited for something other than tacos and wish I got more tacos read more

I liked this meal a lot! It was tasty and incredibly filling. The restaurant has a couple of options to choose how you'd like your protein served, but I picked the bowl (I just wasn't in the mood for a sandwich). The prices are a bit higher than a lot of other local places in Cancun, but the flavor is excellent and the portions are very generous. I had the lobster and it was really buttery, but really good. The richness of the buttery flavor paired really nicely with rice. The food came out quickly and hot! The only thing is that the store front is a little small, so if you're going with a large group, some folks may have to sit outdoors! If you're visiting Cancun and don't speak Spanish, don't worry! They speak English at this restaurant. read more

Lobster roll - Different from those in Boston. The roll is not bad but not as buttery, the lobster is salty but not much lobster flavor. You definitely smell the grilling of the lobster shell but the meat doesn't have any grill mark. Add the sauce it'll taste better just not lobster flavor Steak and bacon roll - the steak and bacon was very delicious. Again the sauce help. Watch out for the spicy sauce, I think the Coconut margarita - Really tasty. I'm not a big alcohol/cocktail drinker but I did appreciate the taste. read more

It's a small shop located on a side street off the main road in downtown Cozumel. For $16, the lobster roll came in a soft brioche roll which was delicious. It also came with some chips and a small coleslaw. The lobster meats tasted fresh. The sandwich wasn't overflowing with meats or ingredients. It's a fair value but not super impressive. Service was excellent . The ambiance was casual. After having the lobster roll at a few other places, I have to say the best one I had to date was at a stand outside of Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco. If you have to have lobster roll, then this place will do. If you can wait, I would wait. read more

This little shop is an oasis of deliciousness, and it is not to be missed. The lobster rolls are fresh and succulent, a taste diversion that sets this eatery apart from the rest of Cozumel's restaurants. If you're a foodie, a lover of yummy lobster, or just miss the taste of Old New England, you owe it to yourself to stop by the Lobster Shack. read more

Great food, during our 3 days weekend visits, we ate here twice. I would come back just for the clamp chowder.

When you are in Cozumel, you HAVE to check out the Lobster Shack. It is sooooo good. I seriously wanted to eat here every day, and I kinda wish I had. It's super casual and reasonably priced. Daniel was sooo friendly and gave us some great tips on restaurants to check out while we were staying in Cozumel. Most importantly, the food and drinks are delicious. They prepare all the food on a small griddle right in front of you. The lobster roll is chock full of lobster meat, which is served warm. I insist that you try the coconut margarita. I don't really know how to describe it other than "out of this world". read more

Small place, conveniently located downtown off of the Melgar. We've eaten here a few times over the past several years. The food is very good. We really enjoy their chipotle and habanero sauces and I highly recommend trying their coconut margarita. Service is always quick and friendly. Yesterday I had the shrimp and lobster bowl and my husband had the surf and turf burrito. We both agreed each could've had more lobster. My bowl was primarily shrimp, and my husband's burrito was primarily steak. For the prices, they could throw in a bit more lobster. read more

We really enjoyed this little cafe and their eclectic menu. We each had the lobster and bacon bowl: lobster, bacon, beans, rice, etc., on salad. Really tasty and unique. The fellow waiting on us, an owner(?), was very nice and spoke English. I had the coconut margarita but he made it with vodka, as I don't like tequila. It was refreshing and different! I will definitely return! read more

Make sure you don't miss this precious gem on a side street off the main drag through San Miguel. It's tiny, with only a few tables (they do a lot of take out). We had the Lobster and Bacon Rolls which were divine. I wouldn't call it cheap food (lobster is not cheap in Cozumel), but our delicious lunch was well worth the $14 each price tag. Not only was there an abundance of lobster and bacon, but also a bit of avocado and lettuce. Divine! read more

No one was inside when we went so we were iffy about eating there, but service was great and food was good. Our group tried all the combos of the food options and decided the bowl was the best. The margaritas were great! Would go back but menu is limited so you have to be in the mood for the type of food. read more

We found this spot on Day 4 of our in Cozumel and it was a gem! Very simple decor and simple menu, which is a part of what makes it phenomenal! We had a sampler of rolls and a shrimp burrito, guacamole, and chips. We had to reorder more because everyone ate it all up!!! Daniel, the owner, was super down to earth and made my 5 year old feel right at home! I'd definitely recommend it and we'll be back! read more

Me and my fiancé went there today and the hood was delicious !

Been looking forward to trying this place. The owner or who ever has grey long hair, was so beyond rude. Walked it and instead of a pleasant greeting said mask now. Then continued on telling me that he has two orders ahead of me and then continued to ignore me. Very rude. I'm not sure they understand tourism is keeping them in business. But if you are a local wow it was a different reception. Bummer - I will not be coming back or recommend to any of my friends read more

Walked past it twice the first few days, don't make the same mistake I did. Best food we had by far. Super great service, best cocktail I had in the city. Oh and the food is ridiculous. 6/5 stars Bottle that habanero mustard up and sell it to me already. read more

I probably should not be rating this place because I am not seafood lover. But with so much hype on Yelp I had to give it a shot. Real small little place just the way I like them and super easy to find. We were the only ones in there. Menu is easy to read and the staff is super friendly. They make the food right there in front of you on a flat top grill. I opted for the double lobster roll($19 USD) and my wife got the surf and turf roll($16 USD). Lobster tasted fine, like I stated earlier I don't enjoy seafood that much, and the rolls were fresh and buttery. I would not get the double roll if I was to return. Just way to much bread. There was 4 of us eating and our bill $75 USD. That was the most expensive meal I have eaten down here and we have been to many places. I would not return but someone who loves lobster might go daily. I'm glad I was able to have the opportunity to eat there once. read more

Lobster? BOOM! Kept it simple, added bacon because, well it's bacon. Started off right with fresh coconut margarita's, this place is so small, they make the drinks 2 doors down! Sits 10 total comfortably. I'm sure you could jamb in, but don't. Come back if they're too packed. Seriously, this is a treasure! Fresh lobster, different sauces and they explain everything to you. It's so good, we're going back tomorrow! read more
