Honestly, the lobster roll was okay, but I swear the maryland crab soup was just a warmed up can of campbells chunky vegetable soup.

This is by far one of the best, most affordable, and tastiest lobster roll sandwich places we have eaten at. We always have to stop here every trip to Coronado.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST EAT HERE!

Lobster West in Coronado is a gem for seafood lovers, especially those craving authentic, East Coast-style lobster rolls. Located in the heart of Coronado, this small, casual eatery offers a laid-back, beachy vibe perfect for both tourists and locals looking for a quick yet delicious meal.

The Food
The menu is straightforward, focusing on what they do best—lobster, crab, and shrimp rolls. The star of the show is the lobster roll, which is served with generous portions of fresh, sweet Maine lobster meat. You can choose from three different styles: the traditional Maine roll, served cold with a touch of mayo; the Connecticut roll, served warm with melted butter; or the third option, which offers a little spice with a hint of jalapeño. The lobster is incredibly tender, and the rolls are perfectly toasted, offering a nice crunch that complements the soft, flavorful filling.

If lobster isn’t your first choice, their crab and shrimp rolls are equally impressive, filled with large chunks of fresh seafood. The simplicity of the rolls, paired with high-quality ingredients, makes each bite a treat. For sides, the clam chowder is creamy and flavorful, and the coleslaw is crisp and refreshing, providing a nice contrast to the rich seafood.

Portions and Pricing
While the portions aren’t huge, they are satisfying for what they are—a gourmet treat rather than a heavy meal. The prices reflect the high-quality, fresh seafood, and while it’s not a budget meal, it’s fairly priced for the quality you’re getting. For seafood aficionados, the cost is well worth it for the authentic taste of Maine brought to the West Coast.

Atmosphere and Service
Lobster West has a cozy, casual atmosphere with a welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. There’s limited seating indoors, but the outdoor patio offers a relaxed setting where you can enjoy the sunny Coronado weather. It’s an excellent spot for a quick lunch or a low-key dinner after a day at the beach.

The service is quick and friendly, with staff always ready to explain menu options or offer recommendations. They take pride in sourcing sustainable seafood, which is a big plus for those who care about where their food comes from.

Final Thoughts
Lobster West is a must-visit for anyone in Coronado looking for high-quality seafood with an East Coast flair. Whether you’re a lobster roll purist or just looking to enjoy fresh seafood in a casual, welcoming environment, Lobster West delivers. It’s a great place for a quick bite that doesn’t compromise on flavor or quality. Perfect for a beach day lunch or a casual dinner, this spot is a little slice of Maine in sunny San Diego.

Very cute Lil place, REALLY good food. Got the 3 rolls, the crab, the shrimp, and the lobster. Every single one was buttery, soft, and very tasty. The lobster bisque is also to die for!! 100/10 would recommend

We had chowder and lobster roll. The chowder was too salty, I couldn't finish it. The lobster was ok, not seasoned to my liking.

I’ll start by saying I’m from New England, so I didn’t set my expectations too high. And these rolls weren’t as good as some I’ve had from home, but…they were still solid and cured my lobster roll craving. I would come here again!

The meat was cold for some reason, it was literally placed in the bread and that's it.
Not entirely sure if we were just unlucky, but I can't say it's worth it.

Fine but very disappointed. We ordered the soup flight and don’t recommend; clam chowder was the only one we liked. We tried the lobster roll and the crab roll; both were okay but would’ve been better warm (they are only served cold). Very slow (admittedly they were short staffed when we visited). Very expensive. Very few beer options.
