Avoid it if can. Super greasy food. The service is poor and almost rude. Walk or drive further you will find better quality food and better service.

The name says it all "Trap". Paid $19 for two very small pieces of fish and about 1/2 pound of fries. Wish I read the reviews before I ate there. What a waste of money.

Got a the og . Now I'm from nyc, so maybe that's why I know better having shedded lobster in a roll is crazy and kinda disrespectful . And why was the lobster meat all red. It's not the seasoning at all. Tasted like they added snow crab or some type of something... I didn't even finish it cause it had shell in it . They offered to make another but it wasn't tasty at all, but the french fries are very good. I feel like I wasted 100 dollars I was so excited to try it i got 2 big mistake. Never again. Forgot to take the picture of the shell, but they saw it.

We ordered lunch at the Trap Shack during a recent visit to Carlsbad. We ordered the West Coast Lobster Roll and a lobster roll sans bun because of a gluten-free need for one person.
Opening time was 11 am, but they actually opened at about 11:15 am. We ordered and the items were made promptly. The West Coast Lobster Roll was quite good with large chunks of lobster claw and knuckle meat. This was a very pleasant surprise. For the gluten-free version, the portion sizes given in the cups were quite small even though we paid the price of a regular roll. They could be more generous in their serving sizes.
The staff were friendly, if very laid back, which is fine. They understood the need for a gluten-free choice. It would be great if they could add a couple of gluten-free items to the menu.

Over the weekend my husband and I came by for a lunch date Trap shack was amazing I ordered the west coast lobster roll it was well cooked, deliciously butter and flavorful! We also ordered the chicken strips with fries just to try and ended up loving the sauce and seasoning will definitely be back! My husband ordered the lobster tacos and found the pork/steak included to be bit tough and out of place as he expected lobster tacos (so this was likely user error on our end not reading the menu too in depth) including two fountain drinks we ended up paying just under $100 including a 20% tip. Aside from that it was an amazing lunch date, we sat inside the 101 and people watched, then walked along the beach. Definitely recommend the Trap Shack!

Tyler is amazing and prompt and courteous. He knows his stuff when it comes to seafood. The OG looks good and full filling.

Ordered chicken fingers and they were flat and over cooked. Paid $17 for apparently 2 servings of fries and 3 overcooked chicken fingers. The small 1/3 cup of Cole slaw was old as well. Highly disappointed .
I love a good lobster roll. I ordered the OG lobster roll. It was delicious. The fries were also good. Next time I want to try the lobster grill cheese.

Most delicious! Highly recommend everything on the menu. The lobster is fresh and cooked just right. Flavorful, tender and juicy. We really enjoyed this spot.
