About Alive & Kicking Lobsters

Alive & Kicking Lobsters is a restaurant that offers a special dining experience with simple decor and both indoor and outdoor seating. They are known for their lobster special, which includes two lobsters, steamers or mussels, and corn for $50 for dine-in. The restaurant cooks each meal to order, so there is a wait time of around 15 minutes.

The lobster special is served on a large tray and includes two boxes of cream, one with seasoning and one plain. The lobsters are described as being fresh, juicy, and sweet, with claws that are easy to crack open. The meal also comes with mussels and corn, both of which are also described as being fresh and sweet.

The restaurant also offers a lobster sandwich, which is made with ordinary bread that is fried until fragrant and filled with thick, fresh lobster meat. The sandwich is simply seasoned with mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and green onions, allowing the freshness and sweetness of the lobster to shine through. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy and the lobster meat is fresh and chewy.

The restaurant also has a small sink outside for customers to wash their hands. The restaurant is located in a residential area and can be a bit difficult to find, making it a hidden gem for lobster lovers. The prices are slightly more expensive, $50 for the lobster special and $35 for the lobster sandwich, but it is worth it for the fresh and delicious seafood. The lobster sandwich is so delicious that one customer bought two more after finishing their first one. Some customers even come to eat here once a week.
