You have to try it. Delicious
Had the half and half, really good, I prefer the local style.
Their half n’ half ($29 based on the market price) was the ideal way to sample two of their creations, a roll made with cold and warm lobster fillings:
The chilled version, dubbed the local, was tossed with mayonnaise, celery, and chives. I found it was refreshing for a hot day and given the ingredients were less flavourful, the lobster’s sweetness was more pronounce.
Yet, there’s something about the some fancy or warm version that was tastier. Who doesn’t like garlic butter with lemon and chives thrown in for freshness? It was delicious, but a tad overcooked so the lobster was chewier than the cold version.
If you’re hungry, one roll will not be enough. Luckily, it comes with a quarter spear of pickle and bag of chips (they were out of coleslaw and potato salad by the early afternoon). Not necessarily filling, but enough to leave you satisfied.
If you can hold off on diving into the roll, I recommend walking further down the harbourfront to find a table away from the main food area. While there was tables available in The Salt Yard, it’s also a seagull pit. Finding a clean table can be difficult and you’ll have to watch out for a wayward wing brushing close to your head. Not exactly the most relaxing way to have lunch, even if the lobster roll is good.
Dave's Lobster in Halifax is a must-visit! The lobster rolls are absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and packed with generous portions of lobster. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a perfect stop after a day of sightseeing. Unlike other seafood spots, the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. If you're a lobster lover, don't miss it! Highly recommend for anyone in the area!

Best lobster rolls ever! Prices went up and serving size went down over last couple of years but still the best!

Enjoyed the delicious “fancy roll” which was nice and warm with lemon and butter. Lots of seating by the harbour to eat and enjoy! A little on the pricey side for the portion size but it was a nice experience!

The food alone was very good! But it cost me over 35$ (not including tip) for a simple small roll and small bag of chip. Keep in mind this place is located in a tourist trap. BUT it tasted pretty good indeed.

So...much like everyone else is saying, its really good and you basically have to have a lobster roll on the wharf, but oh my is it expensive. Market price today was $36.80.

Soggy fried hot dog bun with very little lobster and small potatoe salad, overpriced at $34. Never again.

Tasty lobster roll- cost was pretty comparable to other lobster rolls we tried considering it includes a side. Very convenient to stop by and try a lobster roll while strolling the harbourfront.
