The Trap Shack is a popular eatery known for its delicious lobster rolls, which many have described as the best they've ever had. Despite its small size, the restaurant offers great service, with friendly and helpful cashiers. The atmosphere is casual, with a walk-up order system and limited seating, but the food and service make up for it. The lobster is very sweet and tender, not chewy at all. The mac & cheese is very cheesy and delectable. The Carlsbad Lobster tacos and tots are also popular dishes. The chicken and fries are both fresh and crispy, but the sauce is what makes the meal phenomenal, perfectly zesty with a hint of spice. The environment is clean, and the staff is very nice. The restaurant is a quick-service restaurant (QSR) attached to a bar/restaurant. Food comes out quickly. It’s a little on the pricey side, but many agree it is worth it.
