The Lobster Shanty - Menu

The Thanksgiving Day Buffet was good. The service was excellent. Room was decorated and nicely done. Very well accommodated with our reservations and no wait time and never felt rushed

We had the shrimp cocktail and the broiled seafood with Manhattan clam chowder. Everything was delicious. Corn fritters were really good too. The waitress was excellent. She was extremely attentive and very eager to be sure we were happy. Will definitely return.

Visited here after a day on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant. Our waitress Kelsy was very friendly and attentive. Started with Spicy Garlic Shrimp , wife had Lobster Bisque. Then I had the Stuffed Shrimp while my wife opted for the Flounder Francaise with Colossal Crab. Food was amazing! The view of the boats docked nearby was nice. View menu

A big shout out to The Lobster Shanty and to my bf who took me here for my Birthday (he does not use social media). Hands down one of the best meals I had down to the bread, apps, second course, and main course. To top it off, probably the best clam chowder I have ever had and I have tried a lots of clam chowders in my lifetime!!! It was such an intimate and magical night!

Went to Happy Hour in the bar. Sat at hightop. Ordered house wine charged one house and the other full price. Ordered oysters and spicy shrimp. Would have liked to order soups, however, the bartender not only never came back but actually looked down when I went over to bar. She attempted to speak to the person at the next chair, who pointed to me, to make her look. What awful service. No idea what was wrong but we won't go there any more. YUK.

Orderd the filet mignon medium rare and it came out well done. They took it off the bill and we requested boxes for our meals. They gave another steak again and they once again gave the meal well done. The server Jackie was amazing as well as Tim the bartender. The manager was beyond accommodating...I have no idea what was going on with the cooking staff however...I don't think I would recommend this place for steak or lobster as they both came out overcooked for the price you pay it is not worth it.

Had dinner here week before Memorial Day with wife and two kids home for summer from college. Made reservation for 6, but plenty of seating available when we arrived. Vincent was server and he was new, I believe, but we wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t mentioned it. Meaning, he was an excellent server and was very attentive. Atmosphere was great, food was even better (although a smaller extractor fork would have come in handy to pull the meat from lobster claws). Desserts were outstanding. Vincent made this a super experience for us all.

Had dinner there last night , the waiter brought my drink first, iced tea, then he brought our appetizers and finally my dates cocktail. Who trained this guy ? Brings out entrees, we both had king crab legs. Had to ask him for cocktail forks. Is there ever going to be fine service again ? Disappointed. On top of all that they charge $60 for crab legs served in a net you have to wrestle with to get to them. And lobster shanty , not for nothing but don’t you think a salad, potato or vegetable would be nice to serve with a $60 entree. I think they’re cheap, unrefined service for their prices. Probably why place was more than half empty in a Saturday at 7:30. Will never go there again.

We sent for thanksgiving. I was very disappointed. Food was cold. They couldn't even carve the hsm properly. It was given to me in one 3in thick slab. Salad station was awful. One bowl of greens and one kind of dressing. There was some kind of seafood n rice i wouldn't eat. Most of the muscles didn't open which means they are not good. For what they charged, shame on you. Very bad experience. I won't be back. I won't even comment about the dessert table and the filthy bathroom. To top it off, there was not s single piece of pumpkin pie. We did have a late seating, BUT the quality of ALL the food should be consistent from the first seating to the last. Sorry if i am nit picking but I was in t... View menu
