Lobster Joint

Decent roll but $ 23 for Brooklyn? Lobster rolls in Manhattan are $ 18 – 20, so not understanding the inflated price. Also this location gives zero discounts to NYPD or FDNY. The roll was tasty though.

The two of us came in for brunch around 11 am– perfect timing I guess because it was nice and quiet. By the time we left, this place was packed.
There is indoor and outdoor seating. Both are nicely kept. Clean, fresh, good furniture.
The outdoor is very well shaded and has plenty of seating.
You order at the register and they bring the food to you. It’s mostly self serve for things like water and coffee but wait staff do walk around to clean up and offer beverages.
The people at the register were very friendly and made suggestions and gave explanations about the menu items (there were alot!)
Everything tasted fresh and light. We had a lobster roll and lobster huevos Ranchero– that was quite unique and delicious.
They also have a limited bar menu and several choice cocktails. I had the tequila with lemonade.
The atmosphere, food, service, quality– everything deserves 5 stars.

Pretty good lunch special. We both ordered a soup and 2 sliders. The asparagus and crab soup (very hearty portion) was delicious and I had a lobster and a fried oyster slider. Both very small but very good. Just right for lunch. My husband got the lobster and corn soup which was also very good.
We sat outside in their patio with parasols at each table. It’s not super sunny there but it creates a bit of ambiance.
Would definitely come back!

I went in last night at about 6:15 and sat at the bar by myself and had the nicest time shmoozing with the bartender. It was happy hour so I ordered an Allagash White for $ 4 and had the Lobster Macaroni and Cheese; it was awesome and exactly what I needed. Little seashells in a white cream sauce with melted cheese and huge pieces of fresh lobster, how can you possibly go wrong? I asked the bartender if she preferred that or the Lobster Roll, and I informed her that I was seeking comfort food after having a bad day. She quickly explained that I should go with the Macaroni and Cheese, so I did, and I am incredibly thankful because not only did I have a great dinner but I have a great lunch today too :) I also went outside and looked at the patio and it was quite nice. Another positive about this little spot is that it doesn’t have server service but rather you go and order the food at the register, get a number and then go sit down and the food runner brings it to you. I like that because sometimes you just want to eat and don’t necessarily need service. I did enjoy the service that I had at the bar though very much and would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Just be prepared to shell out a good deal of money for what you get; the Lobster Roll and Lobster Macaroni and Cheese are both $ 21 but sometimes you just need to treat yourself.

For a place called The Lobster Joint, it’s sad that the least enjoyable thing we ordered was the Conn lobster roll. It was dry and the lobster essentially flavorless. The crab roll on the other hand was delicious! Also the fries were great… seasoned well, crisp outside & soft inside. Not greasy at all. The lobster corn chowder was satisfying. The drinks were very good as well. The staff was friendly & knowledgable about the menu (ingredients, size etc). Cute décor & outdoor patio.

Lobster roll was cold, tiny for $ 21
Head towards Burger & Lobster for a huge, meaty, lobster roll for $ 20 with great fries and a buttery bun.
Crab cake for $ 17 was the smallest I’ve seen! Comparable to size of the bottom of a soda can.
Great outdoor dining and no tipping necessary.
I would not return or recommend.

can’t go wrong with the lobster roll. Bloody Mary, calamari… it’s my same order every single time.

I was staying at Greenpoint while visiting NYC earlier, the locals recommanded this seafood joint and i love it. The lobster roll is so good with lots of loster meat!

Great place with a vibe as fresh as the seafood! Definitely a hidden gem if you love lobster.

This is my favorite place to have lobster… And to splurge! I got the corn lobster chowder. It was AMAZING usually I get the lobster meal which is amazing but the chowder was fabulous to top it all off we got a splendid key lime pie!!!

had heard of this when it opened but even though ive passed it 100x just never tried… until today. really good surprise, super operation, great food etc.
had the classic New England lobster roll as a barometer, great buttered roll (just enough butter flavor) and a nice amount of lobster, I added salt because i like it that way, salty, and I doused the good crispy fries with tons of malt vinegar, coleslaw good too. definitely plan to try the rest of the menu over the next visits, i will be back.
their bar-​server Natalie was very impressive. extremely polite and friendly to everyone who came in, and to the newbies like me who needed to know extra bits of info etc. She happily filled me on the place’s history and made me feel very welcomed for coming in to try it. she is just super. the owners are very lucky to have her there, which I told her too. I stopped short of asking her out, but she can message me here if shes interested!

I came here with two other people for lunch and shared a half dozen oysters and we each had our own lobster roll. The oysters were good and tasted fresh and the lobster rolls were pretty good.
My father is a wholesale fish supplier so I have been around all types of fish since I was a kid which makes me slightly picky were I eat my fish since I grew up with the best qualities. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh but for the price you don’t get much food. We left with our appetites gaining a second wind in less than an hour.
Not my fathers lobster roll but pretty close in comparison.

N.E. Lobster Roll: Dry, not fresh, unplump, no seasoning, unbuttered… Never again.
Pickle: Bland, unseasoned Fishyness.
French fries: Hot, fresh, albeit out of the frozen bag that was sitting on the prep table, but what-​evz! I came for Lobster.
Service: Fantastic!
Too many other FRESHer Lobster joints

Came here a while back with my best friend and I have to say that this place is nicely tucked away and has a great vibe in itself. However, that said, I found it quite difficult to get to the location considering I don’t live in the area — we had to take the train & the bus afterwards into the residential area.
I got the Connecticut roll since I dislike mayo and it was a decent portion along with the fries. The both of us weren’t able to finish the fries; and in terms of pricing it’s pretty similar to any other lobster place like Luke’s or Lobster & Burger. Of all the places though, they probably gave the most lobster in the actual roll.
All in all it was a pretty good place if you live around the area and crave lobster; I probably just wouldn’t come from the other side of Brooklyn again for it.

My love for lobster knows no bounds. It doesn’t matter if it’s broiled, baked, in a soup, stuffed in a sandwich, part of a salad, I’d happily eat it in any form. My lobster-​loving palate has been realized at Lobster Joint, a BK spot that does all the above and more.
Like anything in the seafood realm, most of the food is going to be pricey. Sandwiches range from $ 17 – 20 and the dinner plates are $ 22 – 40. At these prices, it’s hard to believe lobsters were once seen as cheap, sea bottom feeders. Those days sound wonderful.
Speaking of wonderful, how about that lobster mac and cheese ($ 17)? Tender chunks of lobster buried in a gooey shell of white cheddar in pasta shells never tasted so good. Baked to perfection with copious amounts of cheesy goodness means this is one of their more popular choices. In fact, it gets gobbled up first whenever I’m here in a group.
The trio of lobster rolls — New England ($ 17), Connecticut ($ 17), and Lobster Club ($ 19) — are all tasty in their own right. There is just enough herb mayo for the New England and Lobster Club, while the CT roll is quite lovely with melted butter. The Lobster Club with the added bacon and avocado is the overall winner.
If you’re into a more traditional approach to lobster, shoot for the Lobster Dinner ($ 36) which comes with a 1.5 Ib lobster, red potatoes, corn on the cob and coleslaw. For the more atypical and unqiue takes I recommend the Lobster Shepherds Pie ($ 21) and the Lobster Corn Chowder ($ 9). There are other standouts that are completely non-​lobster, such as the Mahi Mahi Sammy and the delicious Crabcakes ($ 21). And of course, don’t forget about the 3 sides for $ 12 deal, one could just fill up exclusively on those.
During good weather months, this place is always packed. I visit every so often to get my lobster indulgence on, but I tend to avoid this place like the plague during brunch. The wait staff is always rushing folks out and the waits get pretty crazy at times. But if you’re willing to brave the lines, just remember to shoot for happy hour. It’s the only time I’m ever there anymore.

We’ve been meaning to try out this place for a long time, then we were meaning to write a review for this place for a long time, both were delayed and pushed back, for a long time. But, here it is!
This place has been on our radar for a while, but due to its location away from the city and far from public transportation, it’s a little bit harder to get to. Also, we almost never go to this part of Queens. But when we did go on a Saturday, we realized how easy it would’ve been to come here, and easy street parking.
We got to ordering the onion rings and Connecticut lobster roll with fries instead of chips. The roll comes loaded with lobster, as expected, along with fries and some slaw. First impression was delicious lobster, great! Then a few minutes later, as the lobster high goes away, we realized the flavor wasn’t much. The sandwich was basically lobster and bread, the butter didn’t really appeal to us and the bread seemed plain. Next time, we’ll try another sandwich and see how that goes.

When I walked in Saturday afternoon I thought something was amiss because I was meeting a large party for brunch and I was 2 hours late — but the place was pretty much empty.
Then I realized past the main room, kitchen, and bathrooms is a large outdoor area (covered by a tent, with pretty lights strategically strung around it, at the moment to keep the heat in). There is a lot of space out there and about 30 people from the brunch party were gathered around long wooden tables chatting and eating.
I ordered the sauteed pollock and asparagus and it was delicioso. The pollock was breaded and looked small when the server brought my plate out to me, but was quite filling. I liked the vinaigrette that was used on the asparagus as well.
According to the people around me the lobster roll was good and so was the chowder (which came in a small bowl — so it’s better to get if you are not all that hungry).
We were not rushed and we pretty much had the back yard all to ourselves, so I would say this is a good spot for group meetups and things of that nature. Many of the items on the menu are expensive (because, seafood), but at least you will enjoy your meal.

I’ll start this review by saying that it’s definitely worth it! If you like lobster and you want to to enjoy it in an easy setting without the downtown or steakhouse pretentiousness then this is a great place to check out. I found myself in Greenpoint for an art exhibit and jumped on Unilocal to find a new place to check out and how can you pass up a spot called «Lobster Joint.» I had no real expectations.
I pursued the menu knowing that I was most likely going to have lobster but there is numerous other seafood staples and soups that I’ll likely go back to try. I was skeptical at the price to amount of lobster ratio that I’d receive. Most places skimp on the lobster portions. I ordered the basic lobster roll. I received my lobster roll and was slightly underwhelmed at first glance. I was expecting a nice French baguette but it was a simple toasted bread. However, upon closer inspection, it was literally loaded down with lobster meat. It was very fresh and warm with melted butter sauce to make it complete. The taste was great. I got the side of fries which were crispy and also very good.
My companion ordered the lobster club roll. This iteration included avocado (everybody else’s favorite) and bacon (my favorite ingredient)! This was also served on the same basic toasted bread but without the butter sauce and cold as a club sandwich would come. I have to say that bacon and lobster are meat to be wrapped tightly together, however, I still prefer my basic lobster roll just a little more. For her meal, she took the house chips which were your basic good enough «in house chips.»
All in all this is a great place to wash down some very tasty lobster with a nice selection of craft (or otherwise) beers. Sit in the front window and watch the people pass by or take it to the back patio with your friends and enjoy the atmosphere as though you were in your own overtly expensive Brooklyn backyard.

Got brunch here a couple of months ago. We each got a Bloody Mary which was great. The mix was spicy and they top it off with a meaty lobster claw.
I got a lobster roll with fries which were very well done and crispy. The roll had a good amount of big meat chunks and not too much mayo to over power the taste. Coleslaw was cool, light and crunchy. Just how I like it
My boyfriend got the lobster blt and loved it. The bacon crispy, avocado ripe and all the flavors combined were delicious

My last meal on earth would be lobster followed by smores… After I ate at the lobster joint I was almost positive that I could pass to the other side and feel absolutely accomplished in life and ready to go!
From the service, to the price point, to the food… This place was just perfection! We entered on an uneventful Sunday evening and this place just made our night spectacular!
We got an order of mussels to share, and a few orders of different oysters. They were both so fresh I could still taste the ocean. The lobster rolls were buttery, sweet and juicy! Everything a lobster roll should be! The roll came with crispy fries and a pickle the perfect accompaniment.
I usually never finish my food this was one of those rare times where everything on the plate was obliterated!!! I would happily ruin my diet every single day of the week, for one of the lobster rolls here! I can’t wait to go back and have another… And another!!!
