I recently stopped in, after seeing this restaurant signage for a few months. Apparently, they were in business for over a year and I just recently saw the sign. Hard to miss 'Lobster and Beer!' Ordered the Connecticut Roll and it was delicious!!! Plenty of Lobster. Great bread. Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys Lobster rolls. Operator seems to be there daily and a great guy to chat with. Really nice place to pop in for a bite or even take out.

Fast and friendly service! Sat outside on a beautiful Saturday morning! Our server suggested the Connecticut roll and it was bomb! 10/10 flavorful, soft buttery bread, good lobster for the value! Highly recommend! Calamari Fries and cocktail sauce!! Omg! So yummy-meaty and tender and served steaming hot and fresh!

If you love lobster or if you’re just curious about it because you’ve forgotten how it tastes or you’ve heard about it and haven’t tried it yet, this is the place to go. Here, you’ll find plenty of fresh, high-quality lobster, giving you the full lobster experience you deserve. What makes Lobster & Beer different? Maybe you’ve been to restaurants where you ordered “lobster pasta” only to find tiny bits of lobster hidden somewhere in the dish. Not here. At Lobster & Beer, you get a generous, 100% satisfying portion of top-notch lobster. Sure, it’s not cheap, but good lobster never is. Go for the 8oz—or better yet, the 12oz—for the complete experience. You won’t regret it!

This place was an awesome visit for my first time on the West Coast. That California Orange wheat beer was out of this world. Being from DC, we don't get amazing stuff like that, unless ones preference is IPAs. Got the lobster rolls and lobster grilled cheese. This place is a must and when I come back to the west coast again, I am definitely stopping by for a couple hours.

Outstanding Comfort Food & Seafood Delight! I had the absolute pleasure of indulging in the lobster bisque, clam chowder, and grilled cheese, and I must say—this trio is a match made in culinary heaven! • Lobster Bisque – Rich, velvety, and packed with deep lobster flavor. Every spoonful was a luxurious experience, perfectly balanced with a hint of sherry that elevated the taste. • Clam Chowder – Creamy, hearty, and loaded with tender clams. The perfect mix of potatoes and seasoning made this a standout bowl of comfort. • Grilled Cheese – Buttery, crispy, and oozing with melty cheese. Pairing it with the soups made for an unbeatable combination of crunch and warmth. Whether you’re looking for a soul-warming meal on a chilly day or just an unforgettable seafood experience, this place delivers. Can’t wait to come back for more!

All right here goes. I don't normally hand out 5 stars, but this place is phenomenal. The gentleman behind the counter recommended the Connecticut role as opposed to the Maine role. The Connecticut role is warmer and buttery, whereas the Maine role is cold with an aioli sauce. It was a toss-up because they both sounded blissful. That first bite of The warm, buttery melt-in-your-mouth bun sent me straight to the Pearly Gates. Unfortunately, there was no one next to me to slap so I slapped myself it was that good. The fries were excellent, too.

Loved it, food is so good and service is A1. All food is so delicious and fresh. Lobster tail is too nice for 15 dollar. Lobster tacos and clam chowder soup was awesome. Ambiance is small but cozy and beautiful. Will love to come back here again
