On a recommendation we decided to take the family here for a nice fish dinner. We were told that we'd probably have to wait, they provide you with pagers. You can, if you want, grab a beverage while you wait. The interior is small and they have an exterior seating area that also isn't too large but both the inside and outside seating are very nice. The menu has good selections and a variety of ways that the fish can be prepared. The food is very good - everything we had everyone really enjoyed. The wait staff is fantastic, friendly, funny and makes great recommendations. We'd all recommend Twisted Lobster even with the wait. read more

Stopped in here while on vacation and it ended up being a really solid meal. It's a smaller place and we had about a 30-minute wait, but it was worth it. We started with the Boom Boom grouper bites and they were pretty good -- crispy, flavorful, and a great appetizer to share. I also had a cup of the clam chowder and it was amazing. Super creamy, really flavorful, and loaded with clams. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée I had the lobster with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The lobster itself was good, just not the best I've ever had and a little on the tougher side. The mashed potatoes, however, were incredible and tasted totally homemade -- easily the best part of the plate. The broccoli was simple but good. Overall, a really enjoyable meal with great chowder, tasty appetizers, and standout mashed potatoes. If you're in the area and don't mind a short wait at a smaller spot, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

A friend and I decided to patronize a local establishment for lunch on Monday. We arrived around 1:00 pm and a line of customers were enthusiastically awaiting their turn to enter the restaurant. We were greeted by the Hostess who informed us that we would have a twenty minute wait to be seated. I'm thinking , oh boy , this place must have delicious food due to the crowd of customers waiting to enter. Well , at last , we were allowed entry and we were seated near the front door. My friend is handicapped and has mobility issues. Nevertheless, we sat down at a small booth and were presented with menus. My friend ordered oysters and Clam chowder soup. I ordered the Shrimp basket and I also ordered a bowl of Clam Chowder soup. The soup arrived first and I thought it was amazing ! It was savory and rich with flavor. My Shrimp quickly arrived and I took a bite of one of the Shrimp. Awwwe , I was disappointed. The Shrimp was breaded but seemed somewhat undercooked. Nevertheless, I filled up on the bowl of soup and managed to consume 3 of the breaded Shrimp. I was full and gave my companion the remaining Shrimp in my basket. My friend devoured the Shrimp. Our waitress Christina was busy , yet quick and efficient in rendering service to our table. The restaurant is small but cute and somewhat charming. I'll come back for the Clam Chowder, it was amazing. I'll have to try a different entre other than the breaded Shrimp basket. I live close enough to the Twisted Lobster for a return visit , if only for the soup. I give this place 3 Stars for now. Clam chowder was great , the breaded Shrimp not so much. read more

When friends post restaurants, I save them because we live in the middle of nowhere. So when we went to ft myers today, I looked at the places I had saved. This one checked all the boxes. Was there a long wait? Yes but once you are seated all is smooth. The waitress was very friendly. Brought out our food quickly. The place is small but it is definitely a happening place. Most definitely will go back. read more

The food is great ! They always have a wait but it is worth it! Never disappointed! Great service and a friendly staff

Side house salad was the worst I've ever had. Brown lettuce and the veggies write extremely old and deserved to be in the compost bin for goodness sakes. Other stuff was just good. The rice was sweet which tasted odd to me. Probably won't go back. Hubby said the lobster mac was "good". read more

We've eaten here many times, and every time has been great. The lobster rolls and the chowder are great.

Consistently Great! We've gone back several more times and want to share more about them. Clam Poutine Fries from the appetizers ($15.99). Spectacular! They top french fries with deep fried clam strips, then top that with clam chowder and bacon bits. Lightly battered meaty clam strips with a nice clam flavor. No shortage of clams in the chowder. And bacon bits add that little something extra. I ate this as a meal. Shuck Club members can enjoy the Twin Tail Special on Wednesdays ($18.99). Two four ounce lobster tails were joined by a flavorful cole slaw and corn on the cob. My wife is a lobster fiend and loves this dish. Great tasting lobstah! Thursdays offer several Trio Specials ($15.99) for Shuck Clubbers. I had the Full Rack N Shrimp with Fries and Slaw. So the rib rack is not the huge rack the length of a cookie sheet pan that we all know. This is dinner plate size rack. Maybe a small pig? Great flavor and tender. 5 nice size skewered shrimp sit atop fries and are joined with slaw. Shrimp can be prepared several ways - I chose blackened. An excellent meal. My wife had the Shrimp and Lobster Trio Thursday Special. A small lobster tail joined by 5 shrimp, skewered and grilled, atop fries and slaw. She loved it. We love this place! read more

First time trying The Twisted Lobster! We got a local beer from Ft. Mayers called High Five IPA (delicious)! As an app we ordered Thai Calamari (also delicious)! And for food we ordered the Triple Tail Reuben, Blackened Mahi Tacos (the coconut rice is amazing), and Gulf Grouper! The restaurant is decorated cute. We sat inside but they have outdoor seating too. Service was great, our food came out quick and everyone is very nice. We're definitely coming back! read more

We've wanted to go here for so long and finally did. Although we waited a while for a table, it's because the restaurant is on the smaller side and also because it is super popular. Food was very good. Daily specials were a good value. Lots of hustling staff to serve you. No spirits sold, just beer, wine and seltzer type drinks- a bit disappointing but we made due. read more

Seafood anyone? In the southwest corner of Florida. Cape Coral has a great casual seafood spot. The Twisted Lobster awaits your presence. With indoor and outdoor patio dining. Plates of Thai shrimp on coconut rice, a ribeye and lobster tail, creamy clam chowder and trays of oysters are on the menu. The prices are right. The service is great. There is a reason this place is packed but the wait is minimal. Support local businesses especially the good ones. Twisted Lobster is amazing. Eat here if you like seafood. read more

Recently moved to Cape Coral. This was the first dine in experience. We arrived just after 6pm. A brief 10 minute wait. We took an inside booth. Be prepared as it is noisy until about 7:15 when there were a couple of empty tables. The vibe is exceptional. Staff is quick and to the point. I slowed their routine as it was a first visit. Never felt rushed. Ordered sesame crusted tuna and a dozen oysters. Both fresh and tasty. For the mains we had salmon, triple tail, and cod and chips. All very good. Attentive service. Quality feed presented in a straightforward manner is always a winner. Twisted Lobster might be on the weekly rotation! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Excellent customer service and servers. Seafood was outstanding fresh cooked perfect. Only complaint the lobster bisque wasn't what I am use to. Sweet and no lobster inside, came out warm not hot. read more

Great food. Service was fabulous, we ate outside and traffic noise was loud, but food and service made up for it!

Came by again for some food. Service girls were awesome. And the food was delicious. We always stop in here to get some snack before we head home. It's a great spot read more

There was a little bit of a wait because the line for this place was around the corner of the building, but the wait was definitely worth it. Service was great, I didn't even have to ask for a dog bowl after a woman saw me trying to give my dog water in the bathroom and she immediately brought one to the table when we were seated. The food is delicious, we barely spoke a word as we inhaled our meal. Be sure to check what's on special as they have some really great deals daily. Calamari was delicious. For my entree I had the shrimp and lobster with jasmine rice and veggies. They even added a mango pico de gallo to the rice free of charge that I saw listed for another menu item. 10/10! read more

Great! Wicked busy! We were sat pretty quickly! Very well oiled machine!!! Awesome meal! Great staff! We be back!!! read more

For a small out of the way restaurant they deliver in a big way. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Family environment with great ambiance. Wonderful selection of menu items and the food is outstanding. Now the best part it won't dent your wallet, great value. So don't stress the wait for a table the food will more than make up for it. Highly recommend read more

We had a great experience here! This staff is one of the best service staff around! We were told 25 minutes wait and ordered beer outside. The bartender said their computer was down to just tell the server what you ordered inside. Which we did and loved the trust from them. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder. It was very good. It has a little kick that we loved. My wife ordered shrimp and lobster she loved. I ordered the Ruben it was very good! Did not have room for dessert! Place is very well ran and highly recommended! It's a hole in the wall but the food and service is worth it! read more

Twisted Lobster - Ruben fish sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

The grouper bites are the best thing on the menu must order. The trio tails are also a good pick personally

Got a late night door dash. Keeping that in mind, the food was pretty dang good. Hard to miss with coconut shrimp, but the soft shell crab was great (and weirdly hard to find down here) My favorite was the clam poutine! read more

Such a great place I wish it was bigger because of all the attention it's gained over the years. Best to eat there though. Foods great, staff is friendly. Pretty quick service too, highly recommend. Sometimes the wait time is long but it's well worth the wait. Keep up with their instagram for their weekly deals read more

Twisted Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Price for lunch is excellent, make sure you ask about the hidden specials ;) ? Like the steak and lobster...

I visited the Twisted Lobster during a trip to visit some friends in Fort Myers. I love seafood and this restaurant did not disappoint. We sat outside and were sat immediately so I did not get a good look at the inside of the restaurant but it was very busy. The outdoor seating area was clean and there were fans to keep diners cool. The staff was very friendly and quick. The food came out within 10 minutes of ordering and was super tasty. The lobster was fresh and hot. The fried white fish and chicken tenders were also fresh and delicious. Must try their chocolate cake. Huge portion! TLDR: clean, friendly, high quality seafood, must try if in Fort Myers area. read more

Blink and you could drive past it, although it's right off busy Del Prado Blvd, the sign is small. But don't make the mistake of by-passing this hidden gem!! Where to begin???? This is hands down the best seafood restaurant in Cape Coral. The food is absolutely amazing, the service is top notch as management, possibly owners check in at the tables to ensure all is well with the customers. The prices here are extremely reasonable. They have daily specials, check their website to see their menu. I had the shrimp tacos- BEST tasting shrimp tacos I have EVER eaten! Dad had the lobster tail with grilled shrimp and Mom and sister both ordered the Parmesan crusted Haddock. Everyone enjoyed their meal. This is a small but cozy restaurant and I absolutely LOVE TJ boat hanging from the ceiling- too freaking cool! Limited outdoor seating, but I recommend the atmosphere indoors anyway! What a magnificent place! Lines get long quick and for good reason!!! Everyone who comes here is aware of how truly awesome this place is!!! read more

Great deals. Great food. Delicious sides. Nice people. Various menu. You can find anything you want even deserts.

My family & I were in from out of town. Heard the restaurant was decent so we gave it a try & i thought the quality of the seafood was very good! Also the price point you really can't beat it. Great service as well! read more

Great Lobster place. This restaurant is very close to my assignment project. This restaurant also part of my bookmark sometime. Perfect time to try it. I am here to try their lunch special. I have the fried lobster basket. This basket has three lobster tails with 2oz warm water lobster tail. The tails are delicious. They have sliced the shell and the meat is exposed. Very easy to eat. Meat is fresh and magnificent. This dish also come with fries and slaw. I also got a clam chowder. The chowder is good. But the clam is not chunky. Service is really good. Love the lobster. Will come again. read more

Happened across this restaurant. It was soooo good. Had the grouper and shrimp new menu item. Excellent taste, not greasy, and perfectly battered. And the service was excellent and the food came out hot so quickly. Will definitely eat here again. read more

Food was excellent and service was super !! But not very much parking and traffic in the area is bad 5 stars

Not impressed with the quality of the food (salmon, veggies, salad dressings) or wine selection. Service was "ok". Eat outside because it's very cold inside. Friends love the ribs and go frequently. read more

The food was absolutely wonderful. Service was top notch. Sorry no pictures. We went early and there was still a half hour wait. But it is season. They have an outside bar so it made the wait easier. read more

Fast! Busy! They know there stuff. Thanks Laura! We got lucky, no wait at 2PM on a Wednesday. read more

The swordfish I had was great, it was over seasoned, but was able to scrape a lot off with my fork. It was still delicious though. Our server was good as well. It's a little small in there, but that's fine. I would go back again. read more

Great food! Great help and navigating the menu! Very Floridian ambiance in the restaurant and that made it fun to be there! read more

Twisted Lobster - Swordfish - Seafood Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Lobster roll was really good! We got it hot and it came with yummy crunchy fries. We also got a bowl of the clam chowder and though it was a little spicy, it was still delicious. They gave us an extra empty bowl to share the chowder and the bowl came with its own bag of chowder crackers! Haha. That was nice of them. Their sweet tea was also pretty good! My husband thought it was a little too sweet but I really liked it! The service was also very friendly. Would come back! read more
