This place reminds me of the old seafood shacks I’ve been to in Maryland and Florida. Very margaritaville, old man on a boat vibes. The servers were awesome, and struck up conversation with us like we were long time friends. The lobster rolls were great, personally I think they’re one of the better ones in Salem after having eaten them at Turners and Longboards as well during our trip.
Cool spot, fun staff. All the things you'd expect from the name. Think New England seafood, and they're going to have it.

The Lobster Shanty in Salem, Massachusetts, is a restaurant that should not be missed. The staff is helpful, accommodating, and attentive, providing a wonderful dining experience. 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. Customers have praised the seafood, mentioning dishes like spicy crab cake, Fried Calamari, and Mussels cooked with wine and herbs. 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.
