Salty’s Lobster Shack & East Van Brewing

Salty's no longer exists.. dont come here for lobster rolls.

Went to their food truck in Pitt Meadows in the middle of the day. They were out of lobster which is ridiculous for a lobster roll truck.Tried their extremely overpriced ($28) seafood roll. It tasted like the imitation seafood mix you can buy at Thriftys for $1.99/100g. Not fresh and highly mediocre. The guy working there didn't even know what kind of fish was in the seafood mix.

I ordered through Uber Eats. The delivery was fast as I watch the app tracking. Unfortunately, when the food arrived (2x lobster Mac n cheese both with lobster “bisque” side). My first disappointment was how small the $27 portion was. I was hoping it would be abundant, nice and cheesy, and packed with lobster but as I looked closer I noticed that there was no actual sauce but a bunch of macaroni with little congealed cheese bumps and a meager amount of lobster looking bits (not lobster) scattered underneath the pasta. When I took a bite the dish was barely luke warm and flavourless. My only thought at this point was “how can a chef allow this product to leave their kitchen”?.. then, I tried the bisque… a proper bisque should be smooth, creamy and strained. Mine was chunky, gritty and inedible. I suggest adding some corn and potatoes and calling it a chowder because that was not a bisque.In the end I poured the “bisque” over the mac so that there would be some wetness (sauce) and a hint of flavour to it. Twas still disappointed. In the end, the food ordered was so terrible that I couldn’t eat it, wasted $70+ and had to order again from somewhere elseI do not recommend going to/ordering from this establishment.

Had the pleasure of meeting the owner Ashton at the dog park, and decided to find this place. I grew up in Steveston but had never been here! Anyway, turns out it's right across from the Waves side parking , and is now inside 5 Roads Brewing, next to Yokohama. TLDR: Worth trying!Service: 4.5/5 food came out quick! Staff were a little stiff but warmed up when I was extra chatty.Food: 4.5/5 got the lobster roll and the lobster grilled cheese. Real, fresh lobster was delish and served hot! Would love a little more moisture (like a light sauce) as this type of food always starts out juicy but can dry quickly :) if you're looking for a cozy vibe for smaller parties when dining in. because it honestly brightened my day to stop by and try a lil lobster! Thank you!

Yummy lobster sandwichs!

After being recommended to Salty's a couple of times, my partner and I decided to make the trek out to the nearest location (in PoCo) and were very excited about our dinner choice! And you know what...I was not nearly as impressed as I had hoped I'd be. The food was okay, the portions were small, and the price for it all was not worth it. I acknowledge that seafood doesn't come cheap, but I do not feel like I got my money's worth. I was shocked by the $38 (+ tax) price tag on the 1/2lb lobster roll, and although that's what I really wanted, I couldn't justify it so I opted for the $18 Salty's Roll which was a 1/4lb mix of lobster and fish. I was so disappointed when I opened my box and saw half a fancy hot dog bun filled with seafood, and some potato chips. It tasted fine, but I was at least hoping to be blown away by the flavour, if not the quantity. But alas...our bill came to $58 for a piddly roll, a grilled cheese sandwich with a bit of lobster, 2 small bowls of lobster bisque (which was also just okay) and potato chips. I can think of so many better places to spend $60 on food that wouldn't leave me wanting for more!

Lobster rolls are absolutely delicious. We live in Victoria and head over to Vancouver every few months mainly to eat the delicious rolls. As an East Coaster, I highly recommend and they remind me of home!

We bought the soup from Uber Eats and the soup was so cold, we had to put it in the microwave to be able to eat it ?

You need to eat the lobster sandwich right away. We didn't and ended up with a soggy mess.

I ordered thru Uber eats for pick up because I was in the area. Yes I did look at the reviews first, but I still chose to eat there because most of the bad reviews seemed to be about the lobster roll and that is not what I wanted to order. The mac & cheese and the bisque are phenomenal.!!!! I will definitely come back.

Grabbed a roll and the bisque from Port Moody, Hymo provided great conversation while we wait given we were the only patrons.Thought the roll was great and the bisque was a great way to warm up on a cold eve.

Bisque soup is delicious but was served warm not hot! Roll completely dry it would have been nice to have a dipping or sauce with. Adding when I say delicious means the taste apart from hot or warm. Owner perhaps you should coach your team to know the right temperature to serve soup what wld it be! And yes we are tough crown nowadays, & ur not cheap at all. I will give your restaurant a second stop and will judge accordingly this time live, how about that I hope your team will make it right and I will ensure to be generous with my star review ;)

After drooling wanting to try this place for a year, I finally went.The bartender was ok with an attitude like he is too cool for patrons (I was the only one at the bar and would have had to begged for a 2nd beer, I gave up)The lobster roll, nearly $20 for a mix of pollack & lobster on a small hot dog bun (Dempsey that you can buy at any grocery store 12 for $2.99)It was small and sad.The chips were nice thoThis sandwich does not need to be huge but the ingredients would be quality & were not

Went to Boardwalk Brewing location with 3 other people. Service was exceptional. Lobster roll was a miss. After doing my due diligence of reading reviews I informed myself that it's best to order the %100 lobster roll to avoid the pre frozen seafood mix used for the other rolls. We all with confidence ordered the $38 8oz rolls. The Lobster salad in the roll was watery and bland. It was quite obvious from the not so delicate texture that it was previously frozen. The buns were obviously pre toasted hours ago and reheated. Maybe it's a better product when ordered straight from the truck, though if you can't replicate the same quality serving at a pop up location, please do not offer it. Also, why is the Conneticut roll not offered with %100 Lobster? We were hoping to try it though didn't want it to be made with the prefrozen seafood mix.
