Worst place ever and racist too! I would love how you are going to explain the reason for accusing someone of stealing something just because he doesn't understand English... Disgusting!!!!!! My Dad doesn't deserve this humiliation...

The food was delicious! The waitress was super nice and even brought out a bowl of water for our border collie.

Each time we come here, they seem to put less and less lobster meat in the rolls. Paying $37 for one roll with such little meat isn’t worth it.

the food here is put together very poorly. old port used to be the spot for lobster sandwiches but maybe their expansion onto franchising ruined their quality. I'll not be coming back to any location ever.

Come here if you want to be disappointed and leave with a lighter wallet.The portions of lobster were so dismal I had to find leftovers using a toothpick.The bun was laughable; even Sara Lee would have cried.The lobster was cold and soggy; clearly frozen minutes before.The fries tasted exactly the same as the giant bag I buy at Costco and make in my air fryer.Please save yourself and let me be the last person to ever eat at this wretched place.

Not as good as the older locations. Nothing special about the food. Can't even count it as a relatively pricy treat. Server was nice enough but dress was too casual. Think too tight biker shorts worn around the house with open toe fuzzy leopard print slippers. Not too sure about the combined business of Indian Pizza and a Lobster Shack. Don't want to sound like that person, but I don't want the smell of relatively overpowering Indian spices when I'm in the mood for Lobster rolls. Maybe the Indian Pizza is good. Kind of bummed, because we got our kids excited about the food from here only to see them disappointed. Lastly, not sure why but there were a decent amount of ants crawling around the place. We moved from our initial table but it wasn't enough to escape them.

One of our favorite ❤ spots. We always order the Chef Louie salad and mugs of their delicious clam chowder.

Prices have gotten expensive but the food quality will fill you up.

On Saturday 15 of January 2022 I met with Russell Deutsch and two other partners of Curry Pizza and The Lobster Shack in downtown Redwood City. They orally agreed to hire me as a consultant Chef. I worked the next several days cooking, organizing, and creating menus. I agreed to work for less money with the promise of getting a percentage of the earning of the upcoming menu. On Monday, January 24, I requested payment for services rendered. We exchanged texts for several days. At first I was given excuses, then insults and finally Mr. Deutsch threated “to go to the authorities” if I came by the restaurant. His partners from Curry Pizza are well off and aware of this. It is clear to me now that they deceived me with false promises of payment. I have only text messages and a verbal agreement with the owners of Curry Pizza to start the job as Consulting Chef. I need your help to get paid and if that is not possible, I need help to stop this from happening to more people. I found out working in his several establishments he likes to trick, lie and doesn’t like to pay to his employees what is fair. And I heard he is already trouble with the authorities for tax evasion. The people that introduced me to him had lots to say too but as a professional I did the best to my knowledge to do good by the establishment. Jessica Gutiérrez

The fries were great, the lobster was alright we thought, the lobster was a bit cold. A little overpriced.

Family lunch after grandson's baseball game. Pleasantly surprised. Facility is not fancy-shopping center store with inside and outside seating and plenty of free parking. Restaurant itself appears a bit cluttered but in part that is because the menu is large and they have minimal storgae so much of the inventory is apparent. Besides lobsters at market rate, they serve barbeque and some other meal items including fish and chips. Large selection of beverages including about eight beers on tap. You order at the counter, pay and they will bring your order to your table. Impressive amount of beef in the sandwiches.

Nothing special. Pretty straight forward, no frills or thrill. I was disappointed ?

Had a nice dine-in dinner of lobster bisque and fried oyster roll. Both were excellent. A very nice early evening dinner. Very good service.

Off the hook Maine lobster rolls, delicious. A bit pricy but worth it.

Kind of 50/50 experience. Let's start with " good news ". The site is perfect- literally a black away from the Caltrain Redwood City Station and the Sequoia Shopping Center. I had FISH AND CHIPS and they were better than even at my favorite place at the Wharf. But...( Unfotunately there is a " but ". ) The place is called THE LOBSTER SHACK, their star performer is supposed to be THE LOBSTER ROLL but it's $ 34.00 and for that you get just a roll, some lobster meat and mayo. Unacceptable. If they're gonna charge me that much for a sandwich, I definitely want more. So definitely go, ignore THE LOBSTER ROLL and go for FISH AND CHIPS. You're gonna be tempted to take an extra portion- to go. Oh, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
