Lobster Roll with 2 Sides - Classic
What else can we say...It's the very reason our family decided to open our first shop in 2013. This classic is simply; locally baked, fresh artisan bread - a light touch of mayo - the highest quality Maine lobster - a light drizzle of drawn butter - and a dusting of our house seasoning blend. Simplicity in a world of chaos.

Our crowd-favorite Lobster Bisque is the perfect blend of lobster stock, cream, spices and finished with a hint of sherry for full balance. It'll be our secret, but it also acts as an amazing dipping sauce for our seafood rolls!

Butter roll perfection warm, soft, and buttery enough to make you question every other sandwich you’ve ever had. The lobster? Fresh, sweet. I did try adding extra lobster, but honestly, it didn’t change my life enough to justify the price save that cash for dessert or another roll.

The place is tiny, with just a few outdoor tables, but you’re surrounded by adorable little shops, so it’s basically like eating luxury seafood in a postcard. The vibe is...

Was so good the first time that after a walk we came back to grab another bite. After that bite we wanted to try a soup and to our surprise it was ON THE HOUSE. The service was amazing and the portions are super GENEROUS this place is great and I would definitely recommend to anyone stopping by. Absolutely love lobster west

As someone born on the East Coast, I'm always skeptical of West Coast spots claiming to serve real Maine lobster rolls. But Lobster West delivered! From the perfectly toasted and buttered roll to the generous chunks of lobster meat, everything hit the mark. The light seasoning on top sealed the deal — chef’s kiss. If you're craving an authentic lobster roll outside of New England, this is the place!
