Absolutely amazing and great prices! Service is great, they had me wait in the car and handed me the meals! You can call ahead and place an order, the lobster dinner takes about 25min and sold out pretty fast!

Really amazing food. The service was meh though unfortunately but I guess you don’t come here for that. The women over the counter didn’t apparently like me asking for an itemized receipt and went “oh my god” then gave me a look. Odd cause that shouldn’t be difficult to do. Just got a generalized total bill receipt at the end lol

The lobster sandwich is amazing! Super delicious. Although the environment feels relatively simple, such a small place actually has a bathroom drink machine and so on. It’s good.

I had the lobster sandwich at Alive & Kicking, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion was generous, and it seemed like they used an entire lobster for the sandwich. The lobster was super fresh, sweet, and flavorful, complemented by just the right amount of mayo dressing. Instead of a traditional roll, the sandwich was served on thin, buttery toast, which added a nice crunch without overpowering the lobster. While the price was steep at $33 per sandwich, the quality and portion size made it worth it.

Parking was a bit of a challenge, as the lot is small, fitting only about 3-4 cars, and the location is tucked away in a residential area, making it slightly tricky to find. However, once you get there, the food speaks for itself. Highly recommend it for lobster lovers!

Parking: Parking was limited; street parking was hard to find

Food was just okay. Owner made lecherous comments about a customer who was walking away as I was paying for my order.
