    Looking for a quick snack, we ended up here at Lobster West because this is also where we found easy parking on a busy weekend in Coronado. Got the CLASSIC LOBSTER ROLL and my son got the BOSS LOBSTER ROLL , my wife ordered her FLIGHT OF ALL THREE SIGNATURE SOUP , which is the Lobster Bisque , New England Clam chowder, and Maryland Crab . Everything is okay, no complaints about the taste. I was expecting the Boss Lobster to have a much bigger size difference from a Classic lobster roll, but it seems the Classic and Epic do not have much difference. Also, it would be nice when I'm paying to the cashier, if he had told me that they offer a Military discount, it's obvious I'm wearing my Retired Hat that says Retired Navy in Big Bold letters. They do have a sign but it got covered by other customers standing next to it so I didn't see that part until the other customer left and I already paid. Few seating only available inside but they do have a few tables outdoors. They don't have a bathroom but when you ask they will give you a Key for the upstairs floor that you can use, it belongs to multiple businesses in the building.

    Gluten free lobster roll
    Gretchen K.

    The cashier was friendly and promptly took our order. They may have been understaffed, but getting the gluten free lobster roll took around 15 min. I was happy to find a gluten free roll which turned out to be a hot dog bun shape. It tasted good, everything was served cold. It was a cold bun that had cold lobster with a little oil and spices on top. It was pricey, around $27 out the door. I have not had a lobster roll and expected it to be warm, but it did have a good flavor, but was a small portion. The place is smaller inside, but cute decor and lots of outdoor seating. I took mine to go to eat at the beach. If I wanted to splurge I might order something warm if I went again.

    If you're looking for a lobster roll in San Diego, this is THE spot. I got the boss size roll and lobster bisque beyond delicious and super satisfying worth every hard earned penny!!!!

    Tasty but more like an appetizer size for two adults and 2.5 kids. The bill was around 70 bucks and we still needed to get a side of mac and cheese.

    Lobster rolls!! Last time I has one was in Indiana in 2022. 3/23/25

    We honestly didn't expect to eat a lobster roll in San Diego. I was so elated to stumble across this place on 3/23/25 while on a weekend jaunt with my daughter, Kaylah and her friend, Sergio. The restaurant is small and clean. Limited seating inside. However, there is additional seating outside. We placed our order and paid up front and then were served our food. We decided to eat outside under the sun. It was a beautiful day. It had been awhile since I had eaten Lobster roll. My daughter and I ordered the Classic Lobster roll $23. She had a side of Lobster bisque. I had a side of coleslaw. We both really enjoyed it. It was flavorful and delicious! Sergio got the Junior Sampler: Crab roll and Lobster roll $21 which he enjoyed as well. The prices were reasonable. Service was great. We would definitely return when back in San Diego! =)

    Excellent service and great lobster roll. Nice to eat outside. Took a bite before picture was taken to try it.

    Lobster Roll

    The lobster rolls here are so delicious! I usually add even more lobster but this time I didn't, and it was a good portion size. The bread and lobster is buttery and full of flavor. There aren't many tables here, but you do have the option to sit inside or enjoy the ocean air on the patio. My only complaint is the price. If they were a few dollars cheaper, I would eat here more often.

    The lobsta roll.... is so buttery. Perfectly grilled. The lobsta was lobstaing. Very good lobsta. Came here craving lobsta and they provided the damn lobsta. A damn good lobsta.

    Went here on a weekend with our puppy around lunch and it wasn't busy at all. They have outdoor patio seating so that's really nice if you want to bring a dog along. We had the classic lobster rolls, lobster bisque and Maryland crab soup. The lobster rolls were good, but the bread is really what carried the lobster rolls! The bread was soft, flaky and buttery. The classic is a little expensive for the price though as it's literally just the lobster roll with no sides or anything. They could also add a little more lobster to the classic but they want you to pay more for the meat upgrades. The soups were okay. I thought the lobster bisque was solid but wasn't a fan of the crab soup. Overall I'd say it's a cute little spot if you want a quick lunch in Coronado or want to take your dog out while you eat. Parking is hit or miss since it's street parking in Coronado. You might have to walk a bit to get to the place.

    Whoopie Pie
    Julie R.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. I DoorDash it today and I knew I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so I got the Nor'Easter which includes the Jr crab roll, Jr lobster roll, Jr shrimp roll. I also got a cup lobster bisque and a toasted roll to go with it and two Whoopie pies for dessert. Finally, I got the tarragon lemon aïoli on the side. The sandwiches were small (hence the "Jr") but after eating them and the very generous cup of soup, I was very full! For some reason, I was expecting the sandwiches to be mediocre, but immediately when I opened the bag, the smell was heavenly and the taste was even better. They were delicious! I got them all Connecticut style, which I think means warmed up? My favorite was the crab roll but they were all amazing. The bisque was good too -- not my favorite I've ever had (there's some flavor I usually like that was a little lacking. I think it's the sherry flavor? I'm not sure.) but definitely very tasty. I'm too full to try the whoopie pies yet but they look just like my mom's so I'm very hopeful!! I'm so pleasantly surprised and will absolutely be stopping by this restaurant to grab some more food soon!

    Partially eaten Nor-easter

    This is a walk up and order but you'll be greeted with a smile. The food came out hot and fresh. Gotta love the toastiness of the bread roll is just the perfect amount of crisp to the filling. I got the "Nor-easter" lil mini rolls packed with shrimp, lobster and crab, seasoned nicely to compliment the seafood not overpower. I did order a delish side of lobster bisque and some lemon tarragon dipping aioli for an extra $1 just incase, while the rolls really didn't need it I did use some of it and it complimented the sandwiches nicely. They have a nice lil outside patio and a few inside tables, it worked perfect because it stopped raining earlier in the day for us to enjoy a smidge of sunshine while we ate.

    Flight of soups (L - R is Maryland crab, lobster bisque sans any lobster meat, clam chowder, and super stale crackers)
    Nancy H.

    I want to give this place a higher score, but really it was just overall...OK. Pete's Seafood remains my favorite place for lobster roll and clam chowder. Apologies for the redness of the food photos (the umbrella above our table was red), but here is my feedback about the things we ordered at Lobster West: - Lobster roll classic ($24): The lobster meat was tender. The bun was nicely buttered (although I did not realize until halfway through eating that they forgot to cut the other side of my bun or something, because it looked like a hot dog bun still & did not have much butter). I think the light touch of mayo and spice was a good flavor addition. - Lobster roll boss ($32): I would just stick with the Classic size. I do not think there was actually 50% more meat. - Flight of soups ($15): This is definitely the best deal if you want to try all three. But in hindsight I did not enjoy the lobster bisque or the Maryland crab soup, so I probably should have just ordered the clam chowder alone. Although the clam chowder was just ...OK. -- Lobster bisque: Is it wrong to expect lobster meat inside a lobster bisque? This had zero meat. It was all cream. If I had known it would be lobster-scented broth, I would have skipped this entirely. So I recommend that you skip the lobster bisque. -- Maryland crab soup: This is a tomato-based soup. It tasted fine, but it was not what my palate was looking for that day. -- Clam chowder: The chowder was good enough, but I have had better. Luckily it did have the promised clams. Both packets of soup crackers were STALE. Taste one before you add some to the soup. The crackers almost ruined the whole chowder. Indoor and outdoor dining, but technically everything is outdoors. There is a hand sanitizer dispenser at the entrance. I did not realize until the meal was almost over that there is a bathroom available with a code. Service was quick and friendly (just involved giving the order at the cashier, and then interacting with the service who dropped off the food at the table). Parking: I walked here from an event I was attending, so I have no idea how hard/easy it is to park here.

    lobster roll, slaw, beans

    the food is quite tasty! my first time having a lobster roll, so i can't compare but it the filling was just a tad too salty for my taste. otherwise yummy and filling. nice eating outside too :)

    Ask the Community - Lobster West

    Are the lobster rolls served warm?

    Yes, in my experience, a cold lobster roll is Maine-style with mayonnaise and a warm lobster roll is Connecticut-style with butter. Maine-style cold rolls are dressed with mayo, celery, and chives for a cool, mayo-based salad… Read more

    Is there a gluten free option for bun?

    Yes we have gluten free rolls :) Our Maryland crab soup is also gluten free

    What low carb options are available?

    Hi! Of course, you can always order without the bun and coleslaw is available too. 😎

    Where to Park?

    You can park in the neighborhood or around the surrounding buildings. Don't go to the parking structure because it's for employees/tenants only.

    Can your lobster rolls be served warm or do you have the ability to warm the lobster?

    Yes our rolls can be served Connecticut style, with warm meat, or Maine style, with the lobster meat chilled. Hope that’s helpful!

    When will you reopen?

    They are open NOW. Go enjoy.

    Is it celiac friendly?

    I'm pretty sure there are celiac choices, but I'm not 100% sure

    Do they serve whole lobsters?

    Unfortunately they do not. They primarily serve lobster rolls.

    My husband loves seafood, me not so much, do you serve anything else?

    We specialize in fresh seafood rolls. We do have salads that can be made without seafood, and grilled cheese using our freshly baked rolls. If nothing strikes your fancy, you can always order it to go for him or bring something there for yourself… Read more

    If I want to sit outside with my dog, can I make reservations?

I was very pleased on how the steak was juicy and tender ! *Braised Short Rib: 2/5 - Don't get me wrong i love me some good braised short ribs, however, these were very disappointing. Most of the meat was covered by fat, the portion size was insanely small considering its an entree. Not much veggies or sides to compliment this meal very well, definitely need to redo this dish. *Pressed Yellowtail Sushi: 5/5 - Honestly the yellowtail was so fresh ! It had a hint of spiciness but also a hint of sweetness. The sushi was very fresh and almost tasted like a ceviche mix. *Parmesan Truffle Fries: 3/5 - Your average truffle fries. Nothing fancy about them. I really wish they were crispier. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming. You are introduced to basically nice oak wood tables everywhere. The booth we sat in was pretty comfy. The service was exceptional. It is nice to know you are getting some quality dishes, others need some refinement.

Unfortunately, our most recent visit was one of the strangest and most disappointing restaurant experiences we have had in a long time. We brought a guest visiting from out of town and were honestly embarrassed by how poor the experience was from start to finish. The restaurant was only about one quarter full on a weekday evening, yet service was shockingly slow and disorganized. It started with our server fumbling through reservation lists trying to find our name, then acting annoyed when we ordered specific cocktails. At one point, he even asked if we were "old enough to drink," which came off as rude and bizarre. The first round of drinks took around 20 minutes and arrived poorly made. We then waited another 40 minutes just to place entree orders, despite barely seeing our server after appetizers arrived. Ordering a second round somehow went even worse. The server rolled his eyes, made annoyed noises, and acted inconvenienced that we were ordering more drinks at a restaurant charging premium prices. One drink, a dirty martini, took about 30 minutes and arrived with a greasy film on top from bleu cheese olives sitting in it far too long. We asked for a manager, who apologized but then asked whether we wanted sweet or dry vermouth in a dirty martini, which did not inspire much confidence. The remake came back not dirty at all and had to be remade again. After nearly two hours, our entrees finally arrived. The plates were dropped on the table without a word. The chicken and fish were passable, but the sides were awful. Cold, lifeless, and completely forgettable. The broccolini was especially bad. We complained again, and the manager offered to comp the bill. Even then, it took another long wait just to close out. I eventually handed the server $100 cash because we simply wanted to leave and still tip something despite the experience. He then shoved the check open in my face and said, "There's your bill." What made this so disappointing is that we used to love this place. It was somewhere we proudly brought visitors. Instead, we left apologizing to our guest for how uncomfortable and confusing the entire night was. We do not care about free food or comps. We care about receiving a decent dining experience at a restaurant charging $30 cocktails and premium entree prices. Serea has declined dramatically, and management needs to take a hard look at both service standards and overall execution. Do better.

The crab cake was moist, savory, and tasty. The poke was the fan favorite of the table as the poke was so fresh, paired well with the avocado for added umami. The wonton crisps added a crunch factor and dry texture when mixed with the poke and avocado. I ordered the salmon with a side of broccolini and Chinese sausage. The salmon was exquisite, crunchy, and so much flavor when mixed with the risotto. The broccolini had a great char, soaked up the juices from the Chinese sausage, and tasted so well together. It was so filling! For dessert, we had a key lime pie! It had a great layer of meringue on top. It felt like eating a cloud because of its soft texture. The lime had a semi-sour taste with even sweetness. Great presentation. Overall, I loved dining here and would love to come here again when in San Diego!

    We were celebrating a birthday and decided on this place, we love seafood and wanted this place to…read morewow us. We started with a wedge salad, bread and a seafood tower. The seafood tower had a variety of crab, lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, amazing oysters and periwinkle snails that none of us have ever tried before. That and the bread with crispy salt on top were the highlight of the evening. Our entrees were prawns and a ribeye with a side of butternut squash. Delicious but kinda salty. We ended the meal with a birthday pizooki style cookie topped with ice cream. The service was not great here, we couldn't get water or tea refills, and the server disappeared for very long periods of time and it was very hard to get a hold of him when we needed something. And the parking is a nightmare here, especially on a Friday night. But the seafood tower and ambiance sorta made the experience a little better.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Great views and great tacos! My main cravings in SD have been tacos and seafood so Mitch's hit the spot for me. Service was wonderful as the person taking our order kindly helped us identify low mercury seafood options due to my pregnancy. We ordered a variety of fish and seafood tacos, but the standout was the octopus taco. It was better than Oscar's bc of the charred flavor and crispiness in texture. The crab cakes were really good too, so much so that we ordered seconds and thirds! ;) Sitting outside was nice because gorgeous weather outside, but the seagulls try to steal your crab cakes so need to eat quickly. Views are beautiful though so for me it was worth the minor inconvenience. Parking can be tricky because you have to prepay in the lot and wait in line, but my husband took care of that with ease. We'd def come back for the octopus tacos and crab cakes. Next time, we'll try their soups and sandwiches too!

There is seating on the premises. While here I had the clams, avocado toast and shrimp tacos. The running theme in all the food, zero seasoning. Though the portions were nice, the food was bland. Additionally my clams tasted like someone just threw a 20oz of beer in them and let them simmer. I saved my clams for later and did reheat them with some butter and a little seasoning, it did the trick. Overall I think this is a one and done visit for me. But one persons under seasoned is another persons just right.
