Lobster West is a great spot for fresh seafood, especially lobster rolls. The lobster is extremely fresh, and customers love the option to add extra lobster to their rolls. While the interior may not be the most inviting, the food makes up for it. The crab cakes are also a hit, with naturally sweet crab and light seasoning. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere, with self-service ordering and busing of tables. Customers appreciate the dog-friendly outside seating. The clam chowder and lobster bisque are popular items on the menu, with the New England clam chowder being particularly praised. The hot lobster rolls, particularly the Connecticut style served warm with butter, are delicious but noted for their price and portion size. Overall, Lobster West is a recommended spot for a delicious and satisfying lunch, especially for well-executed seafood rolls and quality shellfish.
