    The lobster was fresh and cooked perfectly. I loved all the different choices for the mixed drinks and cocktails and they were only $6-$9 for a fancy drink! We will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks for a great time!

    Service was good, however the food was highly over seasoned, the buns didn’t seem fresh and so was hard to enjoy. We had much higher expectations for the price of the food.

    Food was great, not a whole lot of gluten free options tho. Server was no help with what options could be made gluten free and didn’t seem willing to ask. I would still give it another chance.

    Lobster Burger Bar - WaterlooResponded on November 22, 2022Hi Donna, My apologies, as our serving staff should be well versed in what is and is not Gluten Free. For your next visit we do have a Gluten Free chart on the bottom of the menu with symbols that shows which items are and are not Gluten Free. Again very sorry.

    Not worth the money! For a $54 surf and turf I would have expected my steak to be warm enough to melt the butter on top but it wasn’t. The chowder would have also been delicious if not so thick due to it being cold. Service was nothing to call home about. Will never be going back. I’d rather have gone to Red Lobster. Server did nothing about steak being cold or to acknowledge our disappointment.

    The food here was not very good. We tried both types of lobster roll, the lobster bisque, a whole lobster (steamed) and the shrimp flatbread and I can tell you that apart from the flatbread it was all underwhelming.

    Everything was just ok, pretty much empty restaurant and we were sat behind a group of 4 , one of which had an extremely loud consistent laugh. With so many dining options in the city we probably won’t be back. No real complaints , but definitely not a stand out spot .

    A/C during dinner during a heatwave would be really nice. The lobster supreme fries were awesome, the LBB left something to be desired. Portion sizes were small for the price. The buffalo chicken burger needed some more flavour.

    We had a great waiter, very nice and efficient. There were a few things that would prevent us from going back - we found the food to be just ok, I found a hair in my lobster roll, music was insanely loud and obnoxious. Our waiter apologized for the hair and sent it back to remake but in the end we ate separately and there was no discount, no manager contact, nothing really came of it.

    Food was not great - lobster over cooked and the bisque tasted awful. The restaurant is loud with students. The server was very nice and also the manager, but I would not recommend. This restaurant has been open for a year and we never heard of it until now… I don’t think it will survive too long.
