About The Lobster Shanty

The Lobster Shanty is a beautiful restaurant offering a delightful dining experience with a great atmosphere. The place is beautiful, with beautiful views of the water and boats going by, and a very scenic view of the inlet. The food is consistently praised as exceptional and delicious, with reviewers mentioning the lobster bisque was creamy and delicious, and the French Onion soup was fabulous. The whole Lobster was loved, and the flounder francaise was the best ever had. The restaurant is spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows. It's a popular spot for celebrations and gatherings, providing an enjoyable setting and tasty seafood-focused cuisine. The service is very friendly and accommodating, with servers being incredibly sweet and attentive. There are lots of choices, including lots of seafood, and vegetarian options. The twilight menu is plentiful and reasonably priced. The restaurant has two different rooms that were well managed, and can host two different parties occurring at the same time with no interference or noticeable delays. There is lots of parking. It's a banquet hall with a full-service bar and the bartender was very accommodating. For parties, there was a well-planned buffet line, dessert table, and ice cream cart, which the kids loved, making family events memorable. It is a beautiful place for weddings and all kinds of parties, and definitely kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible.

Absolutely awful service. We went here today for our grandmother. Drove over an hour. Made reservations for 7 last week. We walk in and they tell us they’re closed for the season. The lady manager acted as if we were in the wrong. No apology or anything.

I would NEVER come here!!! I made a reservation a week ago for dinner for my Grandma. We drove an hour to come here only to be told they were closed for the season when we arrived. I told them I made a reservation last week and the manager told me they were supposed to call me to cancel. I never received a call. The manager was extremely rude and treated us like it was our fault.

Love the decor, all the staff is pleasant and courteous!! Maria the server GREAT and a very nice
