If you are in the mood for fresh, delicious seafood, this place is a must visit. The shrimp here are incredible fresh, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Right now, they have an amazing promotion when you buy one pound of shrimp and you get another pound for free. Such a great deal, especially for seafood lovers. The ambience is casual, but it’s clear that they focus on delivering high quality seafood. I love this place and will come back for sure.

I've been coming to Lobster Chef since after quarantine and I love their seafood boil! I will always get their Shrimp with the head on and a mix of their sauces. The staff there is nice and I truly believe this spot deservse more hype. Will be coming back when I crave some boil nearby!

I’ve been searching and trying out seafood boil restaurants in the area, and Lobster Chef is definitely the best around. The service is great and the restaurant is well kept, clean and inviting. The prices are comparable to others around and they have an all you can eat buffet option that’s a no brainer. Their sauce is very flavorful and light. I don’t like chunky and thick sauces so I was so happy with Lobster Chef. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommend it to anyone...
