For those looking for a quick recommendation on whether or not to venture to this Tempe location for a meal, the answer is a definite yes!
Now, for those willing to stick around and hear more about my experience here at this location, as well as what I thought about the food, here it goes...
Opening day (11/30/22), they're operating out of their food truck, right outside of their future restaurant building. Construction delays have hindered their building's grand opening, so they've opted to get things started out of their food truck, for now. Still, totally worth it.
My husband and I ordered a Lobster Finger Meal, a Lobster Roll Meal, and a single Lobster Roll (to split later). The Meals come with fries and a drink. Your drink options are limited to two choices: Iced Tea or Fresh Lemonade. We opted for the latter. Upon the first sip, I found the Lemonade was slightly tart-ish on the back end, but once the ice was able to dilute through it a bit, it became perfect. Nice and refreshing.
For me, I found the Fingers to be just slightly on the saltier side, but still edible. My hubby likes salt, so he said they were just right. The Angie's Sauce enhances the salt flavor, so if you're trying to cut down on salt or you're just not into salty stuff, skip the sauce when eating the Fingers. They're perfectly fine as is.
Speaking of Angie's Sauce, I actually preferred it as a dip for my French Fries (which, btw was deliciously crisp on the outside and soft in the middle--I'm adding these fries to my rotation lol). I tried it on my Lobster Roll, but I actually like my lobster flavor to stand out on its own, so I opted to eat that as is, in the warmed butter roll.
For those of you that are used to a warm butter drenched Lobster Roll, you might find Angie's a bit different, being that only their Roll is warmed, but their lobster meat is served atop chilled. Not that this takes away from the experience or enjoying the taste. I thought it was delicious, but my hubby is used to having Lobster rolls warm through and through (comparing it to our favorite lady's lobster truck, who'll be sorely missed across the valley). That being said, Angie's is a great replacement for what we thought we'd never be able to get fresh again, here in the valley of the sun. And at these price points, compared to other restaurants out here ($20+ for just the lobster roll; no sides), it's definitely a no-brainer.
Run, don't walk, to Angie's Lobster! It's good food, fast, and at an affordable price for quality lobster that's on point! read more
