We had visited this restaurant once before at its old location, where they only offered outdoor dining. This was our first time at the new location, and I have to say, the decor is super cute! I loved all the beach-themed touches. Everything was tasteful and fun without being tacky. Our service was great, and we really enjoyed our meal. We shared the Lobster BLT and the lobster, shrimp, and crab pasta, and both were delicious! The portions were generous, and we were so full that we couldn't finish everything, so we brought some of the pasta home. My only hesitation is that, for the price of the food, the overall atmosphere didn't quite align with what I would expect. That being said, we had a great meal and enjoyed our visit! read more

From the moment we walked in the service was impeccable. The ambiance definitely gives you a Florida beach restaurant feel, it's casual but has some upscale finesse. Now the food , oh the food. We started off with the Cajun style scallops, and I probably could have had a dozen of those! Perfectly cooked, served hot, and just smooth deliciousness. (And I'm a scallop snob) For entrees my boyfriend got the stuffed shrimp and they were so good! I wanted a little bit of everything, so I got the seafood boat. And let me tell ya, they give you so much food! The menu describes the crab legs as over a pound, pretty sure I got like 3 lbs of them! Everything was cooked so well, and even the veggies and baked potato were so yummy! In fact my boyfriend speaks of how great the baked potato was often! It definitely is a bit pricey, but good seafood is. And this is well worth the price! Definitely will be back! read more

We were here last night. They MUST have a different cook. My grilled seafood salad was GREASY, visibly. I did not say anything. My friends baked cod was NOT up to their standards. Did not look fully cooked. Angie was our waitress, she added an appetizer to my bill that was not mine, I told her, but also told her just leave it. This was not our first visit here but had relatives in and wanted to treat them. Last night not a good experience. I've had better there. read more

Food was okay, not great. Service was efficient but felt pushed. Did not ask if we wanted dessert; probably would have had we heard what there was. Ambiance was terrible. Room noise and background music was so loud we could not hear each other talk. Put at a table at the entrance to the room and there were only two other tables seated when we arrived with a small party. People were brushing past us most of the meal. Won't be back. Won't recommend. read more

A slice of paradise in the heart of Jeannette! If you're looking for a beach vacation but can't afford one, head over to The Lobster Shack. Inside, the place is adorned with nautical decorations and modern reggae music is being played in the background. Although their menu is expensive, it is also extensive with salads, sandwiches, pastas, and of course lots of lobster and crab! The night my husband and I went to The Lobster Shack they were having a special: 4 pounds of Kind Crab Legs, 2 salads, 2 potatoes, and veggies for $95. The crab legs were phenomenal and tasted just like we were on a beach boardwalk on vacation! They provided lots of extra butter and the service was top notch! We will definitely be back and looking forward to trying some of their lobster meals! P.S. Make sure you bring your husband to crack the 4 pounds of crab legs you'll get! My hubby's the best! read more

Revisited the restaurant after a subpar 1st visit. The food was delicious. Lobster roll hit the spot and was warm and tasty. My wife ate the steak and lobster bisque and enjoyed it, said both were very good. The service was above average. read more

We decided to go here for our 46th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed! The cuisine was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked exactly the correct way for the seafood and the steak. So delicious! The wait staff were efficient, always making sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was comfortable and the over head music fir the evening. We had a wonderful eating experience and suggest to all you experience it yourself. read more

The food was really good, and the servings were huge! I do plan to return! I'm so glad we went for the first time.

The food was good but watch your bill. I was charged for an incorrect dish. When I discovered it I called. Was told another couple paid for my appetizer and I would have to go to them to get my money. So I was charged for that dish and the 4%credit card charge and taxes for that on top of it Now I am supposed to go to the other couple and explain all this and expect them to pay me for something the waitress made the mistake on. Will never eat here again. My money spends anywhere but there read more

The service was fine and the waitress was very pleasant and the only reason I didn't rate the restaurant as a 1. The portions of food were large but for the price the quality was mediocre. I ordered the surf and turf special and expected a Maine lobster tail but it was a chewier rock lobster tail. The accompanying filet was a filet of sirloin what ever the h-- that is. I would rather pay $67 for a quality filet mignon or for a good Maine lobster instead of a mediocre surf and turf combination. Ambiance was average but I don't go to look at the decor of a restaurant, it's only the food and service that matter. read more

The positive reviews outweigh the negative so we decided on The Lobster Shack to celebrate our new jobs. Having never been there before, we'd make up our own minds. WOW! We were not disappointed! The service, food and atmosphere were all great! Not pricey for excellent seafood either. Can easily pay more for good seafood. Highly recommend! Go hungry...they feed you well. read more

Food and service was amazing! Tried mussels and oysters for the first time. Waiter was very friendly and welcoming.,

I've been wanting to try the lobster shack for so long! I was in Latrobe & Irwin last week and figured I better make the trek over to finally try it. I got the Connecticut lobster rolls and the lb of steamed shrimp to take home. I ate the lobster rolls right away, the twin rolls was good and I thought good for the price. The lobster was warm and I loved the butter. The lobster was really small though, not many big chunks at all. I didn't know it came with hush puppies so I ordered an extra side and had a bunch that ended up going to waste. The shrimp was ok, a little overdone and tough. Would for sure come back for lobster rolls if I was in the area again! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while now (I think they used to be in another location), and we finally decided to visit on Valentines weekend. Everything was amazing. I will lead with my one negative comment which is that our server kind of stopped checking on us as frequently as we would have liked after we got our meals, but I could tell she had many tables to serve and we simply flagged her down when we needed something, so this really didn't affect us too negatively. Aside from that, she was very kind and helpful. The seafood here was so good, everything was cooked to perfection. I've been to some places where maybe the lobster was good but the shrimp or another component was overcooked, like they put all their effort into one thing and forgot about the rest. But here, even the shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The lobster tail effortlessly popped right out of the shell, and the serving of crab legs was enormous. The side salad and side baked potato were also very good. I had a bite of my husband's pasta dish and that was also extremely delicious. I have to say, this seafoods was better than I've had at some places on the coast. They really knew what they were doing on the night of our visit. It's definitely not cheap, but it is quite worth the money, knowing how expensive quality seafood is. read more

This was the first visit to Lobster Shack for our 7 person group and each of us enjoyed something different. I had The Seafood Boat and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The platter had a small lobster tail, about 8 jumbo shrimp, and a LOT of crab legs plus hush puppies, salad, a baked potato and sautéed zucchini. It was delicious! The service was prompt and friendly, and no one hovered over us. I read reviews that ripped the decor and reported that the food was served in plastic baskets lined with paper. Only one person in our cohort received her lobster roll, fries, and hush puppies in a basket because it was a sandwich; the rest of us were served on white ceramic platters because we ordered entrees. The tables had fabric tablecloths and napkins; the decor is casual seaside. Yes, it's expensive; my platter was $65 but it was a lot of food and it was well prepared. This is a nice place; give it a try. read more

We ordered takeout here last night for dinner. We called around 4:50 and they said our order would be ready at 5:50, so just be prepared for a little bit of a longer wait since they are busy. My mom and I ordered the lobster ocean fries to share and my husband ordered the lobster tacos. Everything was ready when I went to pick up our food. Everything we ordered looked delicious, and it tasted so so good!! The prices are a little high, but you most definitely get your money worth because there was a lot of lobster in our dishes. They also sell desserts there as well (pies, lobster cookies) that I will try next time. Go try this place. It is so good!!! read more

This was a whole experience. This place looks so unassuming when you drive up. The decor is very "east coast seaworthy"-lots of attention to detail, casual and super cute. I did not expect a cocktail menu but they have one and it is Insta-worthy. Knowledgeable and patient staff. Oh, and we ate. I have never been one to fill up on seafood but I didn't stop until I was 1 step past full. I was wobbling out of there. Incredible. Seafood is pricey and the menu was fair. I wish they had a webpage to showcase the menu (if they have one I didn't see it) but I'll be back once I settle down after this visit. read more

This was an easy five stars. My wife and I came here for a "Valentine's" dinner. We both got the seafood boat. To be honest, we could have shared one boat and tried something else as well. The place is small and pretty casual. It sits in the middle of a neighborhood off of 130. The food was all awesome! The boat included a salad, potato, several clusters of crab legs, a huge pile of shrimp, and off course a nice Maine lobster tail read more

This is by far an amazing restaurant... from the decor to the staff and the food was the best part. I've eaten at so many restaurants and left not happy.

The food is amazing the beer is free for now the people were so friendly definitely a place I would go back more often

In Westmoreland county diversity of thought and food are scarce, and often I find myself reaching at the top shelf when I seek something different to eat out here on the gateway of the Appalachias. But, this place truly attempts to bring the ocean to your doorstep, and in some ways does so successfully. Surf & Turf Fries I personally feel like this is a solid bite, but the price is $40 and too expensive to really enjoy. The steak is over cooked and the lobster meat is not feathered and distributed evenly over the fries. I think this would make more sense cooking the steak less and cutting even finer. Followed with the crab meat I would divide this entree in two, use less fries and charge $20 rather than $40. Is it bad, absolutely not--but for $40 there is much to be desired. 6.4/10 Buffalo Salad This was an absolute treat, and for $15 might be the best salad you can get in Westmoreland county. What appears to be a half pound of Buffalo chicken and served with an entire egg, I would say the owner doesn't want you leaving hungry. My only critique would be the salad arrangement. Iceberg heavy I would use an assortment of romaine lettuce and iceberg to create some volume, flavor profile and color. *The balsamic is home made and absolutely perfect* 7.6/10 read more

The food was excellent but expensive. I had the surf and turf with a ribeye that was cooked to perfection and a lobster tail that was sweet and delicious. It came with a baked potato, vegetables, hush puppies and soup. My wife had twin lobster tails overs angel hair that was superb. read more

I finally decided to give it a try since all the good reviews. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What was in other photos was not what I received. for a price of over $30 it was so not worth it. The "rolls" seemed like a slice of bread folded in half and crimped on the bottom and toasted with finely shredded "lobster" and some butter. I was supposed to get Connecticut lobster rolls with hot drawn butter. I will not be back at that price point for what I received. I am just so disappointed, like you couldn't even at least fill the container with more chips. I gave 3 stars because it did taste good, what ever it was that I ate. read more

I was very disappointed had been looking forward to going there. I ordered the lobster, crab and shrimp pasta, I didn't see or taste any crab, the lobster was langostino's and hard as a rock and it was too spicy. For the price it should have been better. read more

This was my first time here found it on yelp. First off, lobster always gets my attention. Staff was very friendly courteous and helpful. Now let's get to the food I had the lobster tacos(3), and lobster bisque and a complementary beer where's my meal.The lobster tacos were as described, what got me was there was a lot of watch the meat in everyone.This was real lobster meat no imitation stuff. The loss of this was probably the best I ever had anywhere also included the most lobster meat (Pieces). Everything was excellent! They even brought me out an extra beer halfway through my meal. Basically no tables inside, but they had five tables and umbrellas outside which were very nice and shaded. I will definitely be back there soon!!! read more

As a seafood lover, and long anticipating a visit to The Lobster Shack, I really wanted to love this food, but I was underwhelmed. The idea of a lobster roll, with or without mayo (turns out they didn't have mayo anyway) sounded so delicious. But lobster on a bread bun, turns out is not my favorite. I even tried to eat the lobster without the bread and it had no flavor. I even poured the butter on, and it was still meh. I guess I just like the whole hot lobster, not chopped, it's just not the same. And for the price (including the American style of expected 20% tipping) I could have gone to a fine dining place, not sure how much lobster costs these days. Lunch was $175 for 4 people. Maybe lobster isn't all it's cracked up to be, not just here, but anywhere. I remember getting a $5 lobster roll at McDonalds in Maine once and being thrilled it was so delicious. I didn't get a good look at the menu, because I was set on this lobster roll, but I'm sure there other things I would like better like the soup or salad. The shrimp appetizer was good. I like the casual atmosphere. I do think paper plates, plastic baskets and canned soda is more for the boardwalk. I would give 3.5 stars if I could because I like having a different type of restaurant in the area. If they had all you can eat crab and beer nights, this restaurant would be ideal. I understand reservations are needed weekend nights. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. read more

We are really lucky to have this little gem tucked into the neighborhood.. Yes, the menu is limited and it's a bit pricey. That said this is REAL lobster in big chunks, not lost in some kind of sauce. Be aware of limited hours, and they DO sell out. After all, it's fresh. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place out one Sunday beginning of summer. We were disappointed when we pulled up, but decided to give it a try. Walked inside and thought how cheap everything is decorated with a radio off to the side playing Caribbean music. Owner and workers were very nice. There was no one else there and it was around 1 p.m. They offered complimentary beer and we ordered the Lobster, Streak and Fries for our meals. When it arrived it looked like so much food, but in reality it was a big bowl of French fries with some lobster and steak. Way way too many fries. Like my husband said we just paid alot of money for all fries and hardly any lobster or steak. We wont be going back. read more

We go to the lobster shack. They have an entire menu of seafood items for takeout. It's a great place to go for seafood takeout they have all kinds of different kinds of things and it's always prepared very hot. Everything is prepared as you ask and they have tables outside, it's a very clean atmosphere and we really enjoyed going there. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. Family and clients is definitely a place to go to and it's also Jeanette Pennsylvania. read more

We had great meals here. Generous portions and tasted great. Our server did a great job taking care of us. It is BYOB, but they do have a few options as well. I highly recommend having reservations. Laid back atmosphere and not a fancy dining experience. Come as you are for some great seafood. read more
