Don’t know why you canceled my ordered after waiting for 1/2 hour but oh well not trying againGrubHub accepted my order and took my money immediately. Someone (GrubHub or you) Canceled my order 1/2 hour later and now I have to wait 5 business days to be refunded. Not a good business model
Lobster rolls are $20-36 are aren’t really that good.
Such good food! The loaded lobster fries are my favorite but you have to try the BK roll - the signature sauce is so good. I mean, everything we got was great - even down to the seasoned French fries. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, who is so nice and welcoming. Thankfully, they're opening another spot closer to home for us so we won't have to come so far for good lobster rolls. What a hidden gem that I'm so glad we found! Check them out!
Went here with my boyfriend and got two rolls (one fried one not) and a small lobster mac and cheese! The roles were just under $30 each. The BK sauce is delicious, the mac and cheese is OK (felt like more of a creamy pasta than a mac and cheese). The rolls were definitely the star and we loved both! The fries have what I think is Old Bay on them and come with the meal but they didn’t have much flavor. The inside is really tiny and smells strongly of fried food — there were three small tables, so not much seating either. Definitely seems like a great place to grab food from and eat somewhere else. I’d definitely order a lobster roll from here again!
Read this before spending money at this BK Lobster establishment.I eat seafood often and lobsters are one of my go to seafood. My husband and I were absolutely excited to treat ourselves to a lobster roll this weekend.Pros:1. Restaurant looks very trendy and classy on the outside.2. Wait time was average, despite only having one cook.3. Pricing is standard- pricy as expected because you are paying for lobster meat (or so you think. Keep reading to find out what I mean)Cons:1. Public street parking is nearly impossible on a Saturday, around 2pm. Parking in general is tough in Hoboken, NJ. So keep this in mind when driving to the area. We circled the area for almost 10 mins for a parking spot. No public parking lots as this is a residential area.2. Unwelcoming-No greeting upon entering restaurant. The chef (named Moe) is also the cashier, and he looked flustered. Now was cooking without a face mask and we didn’t see a glove change as he transitioned between the cash register and kitchen. Definitely a red flag since we paid in cash, not sanitary.3. BEWARE!! Restaurant swaps out lobster meat for more inexpensive substitutes in their dishes. Base on my order today, our lobster selections were really 90% langostino and 10% real lobster. Langostino is a proper crustacean, like a crayfish, but definitely not lobster with pristine white, soft and tender textures.4. Mislabeling dishes. This ratio of lobster to langostino means the name of their rolls should either be called a langostino roll, or a seafood roll. And the restaurant itself should be called BK “FAUX” Lobster.5. Hidden charges. We didn’t realized we were overcharged until reviewing the reciept after we left the restaurant. The Crown Heights Fried Lobster Roll showed $22 on the menu, but we were charged $25.96, pre-tax. The Bed Stuy Biggie Roll showed $28 on the menu, but we were charged $29.12, pre-tax. Finally, the Lobster Mac & Cheese showed ñ showed $15 on the menu, but was charged $15.60. Total was a little over $70, for langostino meat.6. The Bed Stuy Biggie was small, not really a big roll at all. No lobster claws in the roll as described on the menu. Brioche was soggy.Overall, ABSOLUTELY or worth the money. Food is not authentic with lobster chunks, or tasty to justify for the price.
This ain't it! I got the groupon so it was discounted but i'd be so bummed if i paid full price. Granted I came at the end of the night, but the lobster just tasted old and rubber and small pieces. I got the classic roll, the BK, fries, side salad, and lobster mac and cheese.For $9 the small lobster mac and cheese was a good size and delicious, i could see getting this again for a nice comfort lunch.The fries were OKAY-but that's on me for the 15 min ride home + it being a freezing cold night, i'm sure fresh and hot they would have been better, the seasoning was good.The lobster rolls were disappointing and wayyyyyy too salty, like crazy salty. The buns were good. Oh and the salad that came with one roll was a surprisingly nice size--but very bad italian dressing.
Food was pretty good. Variety of lobster rolls with interesting Brooklyn names. The brioche buns could sell on their own. Small place, not really sit down but you could with 1 or 2 other ppl but only 3 tables.
Ordered a BK sauce lobster roll with fries and a lobster salad. Fries were very tasty. The rest was good but nothing special. The staff was nice and friendly. No complaints but definitely not a place to go to if you're craving for real seafood
I purchased two Groupon deals for your company the first time I went there I was treated horribly because Summer service was disgusting we were also treated as though we were beneath because we had Groupon the second time I went there which was last night same treatment also required to spend $30 compared to our $25 Groupon so got the bid if we didn't have any other funds and the Groupon was to feed us for the night what we purchased wouldn't have sufficed there was nothing in the fine print that stated we needed to spend $30 I feel like they're overpriced for what you get the food is just okay I would have gone back but the service sucks which means to me the company sucks I also wrote a review on Groupon I would not suggest this restaurant I'm in Jersey I know nothing about the one in New York but it's the same company so they all suck to me
Best lobsters rolls ever!!!

Avoid delivery if you can. First time I ordered they messed up the order but they refunded us which was nice.Second time - I ordered the Hoboken Lobster Roll & it was disappointing. It was just on a romaine leaf - except the leaf was wilted due to the heat from the fries thrown on top. Not crisp and fresh like someone would expect a lettuce wrap to be. Would be better to keep the greens separate for delivering something like this. The amount of lobster was also disappointing.
Food was delicious, but the Bed-stuy Biggie Roll (the one on the right in my side by side photo) had less lobster than the $6 cheaper BK Sauce Roll.
Family and I went to show our support. The food was good. It’s nice cozy spot. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. My favorite part are the charging stations. I especially love the decor and the homage paid to Brooklyn. They food wasn’t heavy on the stomach. I will definitely go back. I suggested you try the Lobster Mac, the East NY lobster roll or the Lobster BLT.
Very delicious food and very attentive staff!
Me and my friends went to BK lobster today and literally everything was delicious!!! We ordered BK lobster Roll, Bed stey Roll, lobster fries, corn, lobster Mac and we must say MADE TO PERFECTION!!!!! We will definitely be coming back!!!
