Lobster West Reviews
Dog friendly with outside seating.
We ordered two EPIC hot lobster rolls (Connecticut style, warm with butter) and although they were delicious, for the EPIC PRICE OF $39 PER ROLL, it was very skimpy compared to what you get for that price in New England. They stack it high in the middle and don’t fill the bun to the ends to make it look super full. It’s not. The New England clam chowder was great though.
I just enjoyed the BEST LOBSTER ROLL on the Planet. Whenever my Daughter and Husband visit LA, they drive all the way to San Diego for Lobster West. Today was my FIRST visit and I TASTED why they drive hours to frequent LW. LEO was absolutely AWESOME with an ASTERISK and nailed everything from professional customer service, genuine demeanor and made my visit A PLUS from Food to conversation, interaction and atmosphere.

Feels like home
I’m a transplant from the East Coast and Lobsterwest transports me back. There’s nothing like their lobster. The prices are reasonable and the service is excellent. We enjoyed the feel of the place too. A small shop, much like what I’m used to on the East Coast.

Lobster West is a popular spot for fresh seafood, especially lobster rolls. The lobster is very fresh, and customers love the option to add extra lobster to their rolls. The lobster roll is soft, grilled to perfection, and features a lot of Maine Lobster with a tasty and elegant Tarragon Sauce. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere with self-service ordering and table busing. Customers also enjoy the dog-friendly outside seating. The clam chowder and lobster bisque are favorites, with the New England clam chowder praised for its flavor. The hot lobster rolls, especially the Connecticut style served warm with butter, are delicious but noted for their price and portion size. The staff, including the owner, are friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Overall, Lobster West is a great place for a satisfying lunch, especially for seafood rolls and quality shellfish.
