The lobster đŚ rolls here are on point. I've always had a great lobster roll here. I don't know what the hell these other complainers are talking about... Being a local, I've been here several times. Always great đ

Got lobster tacos and the OG lobster roll go down to the beach to eat. It couldnât find very much lobster in there just brushed it off to be what it was so I looked at the reviews in the photos. I donât know if they were short on lobster today, but it was disappointing. Definitely not liking the photos. Wish I wouldâve taken my own photos of show

Ordered a pitcher of beer. Iâm watching him pour it. About 60% of the way it taps out. I expect him to come over and tell me itâs out. Nope. He just turns to another random tap and fills the rest with a different beer. When he comes over I ask if thatâs what he did and he acts confused because he got caught. I hold the line and he says âwell they taste pretty similar to meâ. LOL. What. To which I say âI definitely do not want to drink a mix of 2 beers.â So he offers to choose a different one. I can only imagine how many corners this place is cuttingâŚ

Ok I'll be honest, I spent $100 for the wife and I to eat at a nearby seafood restaurant and it was ok, just ok.
Then we ate at The Trap Shack... What an amazing experience. I will note that we took the food to-go because prk101 is ridiculously loud. It's a sports bar, what do you expect?
The tri-tip and lobster tacos are to die for and the Carlsbad lobster tacos are amazing. We tried the Maine lobster roll and it was alright. We might have just over indulged ourselves on the tacos and just didn't have the room to eaten another bite. Overall this was fantastic and I can't wait to try it again.

I don't even know what to say! This was the best lobster and mac n cheese dish I've ever had! It had amazing flavor and the nicest employees! I got this while walking around downtown Carlsbad and was surprised on how amazing this little shop was! I would 100% recommend!

Ive never left a 1 star review but this is justified. Never, ever, spend money here. I spent $24 plus tax and tip, because I had to order from a bar rather than the restaurant (*total $30) for a single lobster roll. Nothing about what I received was a lobster roll. It was a piece of bread with a spoon full at most of lobster, then a pile of veggies. $30!?!?!?! I have no problem spending money on good food, I do it daily. This was the equivalent of trying to buy pot but getting a bag of oregano. I dont smoke, but its a fair comparison. Zero lobster. Absolutely a waste of money. While posting this I saw they have a 3.3 stars review total. This shop should be shut down immediately. I live here and this isn't just our community, its where tourists who visit might accidents stop by. Horrible representation of our area and the quality of food. Absolute rip off. Anywhere from the oceanside harbor to the san ysidro border will serve you a better lobster roll. DO NOT SPEND MONEY HERE!!!!

Walk up, take out lobster stand. Quick, easy, and delicious seafood.

I donât think Iâve ever really had a lobster roll or lobster mac & cheese. So I really donât have anything to compare it to. But I have had lobster many times and mac & cheese many times and I will tell you, this plate did not disappoint. The lobster is very sweet and tender, not chewy at all. The mac & cheese was very cheesy and delectable, really enjoyed eating that.
Itâs a little on the pricey side, as lobster usually is. If I ever want to splurge again, and Iâm in the area, I will come back.

Not sure what the bad reviews are about. The lobster rolls here were some of the best my wife and I have had. The Carlsbad Lobster tacos were also delicious. Same with the tots. Food came out quickly. And even though the restaurant is QSR, but attached to a bar/restaurant - the service was awesome. Thank you. We'll be back!!!
Beautiful location and fun backyard vibe, but the food was a letdown. Surf n turf tacos were soggy with mediocre meat. The OG roll was drenched in butter, making the bread soggy too. Coleslaw tasted old. Tater tots were the only highlightâcrispy and well-seasonedâbut cost an extra $4. No servers (which is fine), but $60 for two disappointing plates was not worth it. Great atmosphere, but sadly, the food doesnât live up to it.

Very disappointedâŚwe found this gem 3 years ago, and having grown up along the Oregon coast, I know good fish and chips, and 3 years ago, this place served, hands down, the best fish and chips I ever had. On our recent visit to Southern California, we went out of our way to eat here. First warning sign should have been the name change. The fish and chips were not great at all. The fry cook needs a course on deep fryer use as the fish was way over friedâŚI didnât know cod could dry out, but it was so dry and difficult to eat. It was nearly inedible. My suggestion would be for new owners to go to previous owners and beg them for their fish and chips supplier and recipe and begin serving what used to be served at this location. I would never go back for these fish and chips again⌠Atmosphere and service were fantastic, but not worth it if youâre looking for great seafood on the coast.

The meal was amazing!! The chicken and fries were both fresh and crispy. But the sauce was what made this meal phenomenal. Perfectly zesty with a hint of spice! đđź It was a clean environment, easy to order, and very nice staff! Definitely will go back!

My son got the lobster roll, and he got extra pieces of shell as a bonus....

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.
