Dave's Lobster is everything you'd expect from a tourist-trap lobster roll spot: high prices, smaller portions, and long lines. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by the taste and overall quality of the food. Service was fine--efficient, if not especially warm. The lobster itself was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. As mentioned, the portions could be more generous, but overall we'd still recommend this place if you're craving a solid lobster roll.

Saw the review on YouTube and decided to give it a try. The store is right next to Cow's ice cream shop. There was no line when we got there. The guy greeted us politely and he seemed friendly. There are 4-5 seats provided in the front of the store. First you pick the style of lobster rolls you want and then pick the side which are chips, coleslaw, and potato salad. There are Local (cold lobster rolls), Fancy (warm lobster rolls, and Half-and-half. We got one of each. The market price on the day is $31 plus 15% tax. They accept credit card payments. We all agreed that the price was too high for the portion and not worth it. We had better lobster rolls in Portland, Maine. My lobster rolls had a lot of bones and for the cold one I feel like they put too much mayonnaise. Overall it tasted A-ok.

So I have to say when I ordered a large lobster roll at Daves and I got it, I was super disappointed. It was tiny. It was my first lobster roll and I felt ripped off. After three weeks of going to through the marintine provinices I realized that this was a general size of a lobster roll. And the flavour was good. And comparing it to other places, it had an amazing lobster meat ratio. so I would say this is a good experience. What was not a good experience was how long we had to wait for this lobster roll to come out. It took almost half an hour. And that is shoving already cooked meat into a bun. If you are that short of staff hire some. That is what prevented us for going back to this food truck. And that is why they lost a star.

As soon as our ship pulled into port I went on a lobster roll quest and loved the 1/2 hot and 1/2 cold lobster roll I ate at Dave's

On the hunt to try as many different lobster rolls around Halifax area and this came up. This is a take out place so you would have to eat on picnic tables around. This was right at the Halifax harbour front, right next to cows. It was a good lobster rolls, different from other ones that we tried. This came with a bag of covered bridge brand chips. The covered bridge brand chips were good and very crunchy. Definitely worth a try for a good lobster roll. The lobster was very fresh and tasty. Seemed about the same size as you would get around the east coast. We did get the larger size lobster roll, not sure how big this was compared to the regular size but overall it was very tasty.

I'm a sucker for the food shacks on the waterfront. Who doesn't like being on the boardwalk, and having a tasty bite to eat while you take in the sun and the people watching? Dave's opened up last year, and I hadn't tried them yet, so I swung by while on a leisurely spring stroll. Being a lobster place, and that this is a heavily tourist-ed area, I shouldn't have been surprised at the price, but still, $17 for their regular lobster roll, chips and a pickle can give you pause. I waited a few minutes at a nearby table before my order was called out, and soon I was noshing on the classiest boardwalk grub Halifax has to offer (sorry, random hot dog vendor by Stayner's). The lobster was lightly dressed in mayo, with a mix of claws, knuckles and some more finely shredded meat. The chunks were ok, marginally overcooked, and the shredded meat was meh, as it was fairly watery, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was from frozen. The buttered and grilled roll was really good, lightly browned and crisp on each side. The pickle was fine, certainly not up to par with the local Naked Pickle brand (RIP), and the Covered Bridge sweet potato chips are always enjoyable. It was nice to try out, but unless you're a hardcore lobster fan, I'd suggest saving your money for a full meal at one of Halifax's many great restaurants.

I loved visiting the waterfront today. What a great place! We came across this lobster shack so of course we had to have the lobster roll (since we're out east, and all). It was very tasty. Lots of lobster meat and mixings piled into a warm roll, then served with a bag of chips and a slice of pickle. Yummy. The only thing not yummy was the price. Jesus! $21 for this little sandwich. Oh well!

Good lobster roll along the water. It comes with a bag of chips- sweet potato, salt and vinegar, salt or bbq. You will have to wait for the food to be prepared. They actually toast the bun which is a big plus. They have 2 different styles: 1. The local: light mayo and celery 2. The fancy: butter, lemon and garlic If you can't decide, you can get half and half which is what I did.
