The food and service were wonderful!
The lobster roll was delicious and so was the hawaiian punch cocktail, and the clam chowder too
If you've learned anything from watching Foodie shows you learn to go where the locals go after work and The Lobster Shanty is it!
The food was really good. I don't care for lobster, but my lobster sandwich was excellent. The crab cake was spicy but good. The service was okay. Could have been a little better since the place wasn't that busy due to the rain. Definitely recommend it though!

The lobster roll is a must-try, as it is considered the best by many. The clam chowder is also a popular choice, especially on colder days, as it is of high quality and very satisfying. The lobster mac and cheese is exceptional, with its creamy and cheesy texture making it the best some have ever had. The lobster grilled cheese is another delicious option. The lobster pieces in the dishes are fresh and tasty. The restaurant offers a variety of drinks including beer, ciders, and alcohol from local taprooms and distilleries.

The atmosphere has a fun, quirky vibe, with friendly service that makes guests feel welcome. While prices for lobster are a bit high, many agree it is worth the cost. The outdoor area can be cold, so adding heat lamps might help, especially in winter. Overall, The Lobster Shanty provides honest service and fresh seafood, making it a top choice in Salem.
