    We wanted a Lobster roll so we tried this Cape May favorite. I'm glad we did as our sandwiches were very tasty. The prices were fair and the staff was very friendly. There is plenty of paid street parking which is normal in this area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of metal chairs and tables (the chairs were a bit uncomfortable).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back soon!

    A quick and delicious spot. I got the lobster bowl and he got the lobster roll and we both got extra protein! It was delicious tho I'm more of a shrimp girly but I won't penalize them for that. Everything was delicious and fresh but i wish it was a little bit more bold flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's almost on the beach and it almost feels like you are a caffe but again quick and filling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check it out when you can!

    A really perfect day topped off with a delicious lobster roll! The lobster meat was fresh and not overdressed with mayo like other places serve them. The roll was buttery and the pickle was a nice crunchy addition. Service was friendly and the order was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating outside and limited seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was great as we were right by the waters and the beach![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would highly recommend this place to any lobster lover!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great beachside lobster shack.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For a beachside lobster spot, some tasty sandwiches. We loved the spicy lobster rolls, just perfect!!

    This was my 1st lobster roll and it tasted amazing. The only reason it is gettin 4 stars is because I wish the portions were bigger . I ate it and still wanted more . That in itself is a good indicator that the roll was delicious. For beach goers, this is the perfect spot for quick lunch before you head to the beach or a nice roll to take with you on your drive home. I loved the mixture of Mayo and celery. It paired well with the juicy lobster. The customer service was good and the employees were helpful in answering all my questions and even recommended this roll as one of the favorites!

    Great lobster rolls for a quick snack while in Cape May. This spot is right on the boardwalk and conveniently has some tables and chairs where you can lounge while eating. We got the classic and tangy. Both were good, but preferred the classic roll. Light yet filling. Workers were nice and service was at a moderate pace -- equal to most of the service in Cape May.

    Excellence service & food

    We did a yelp search for dinner places while visiting Cape May, NJ and La La Lobster had better reviews than many of the other places. It's definitely a casual restaurant with outstanding quality food, and super fast service. We loved the first round of lobster rolls, so we went for seconds. My teenage kids were so happy to find authentic Jersey Shore Lobster Rolls. We will definitely return the next time we are in Cape May. Bonus Tip - Pay a few dollars extra for 50% more lobster. We tried the #1 with butter and #2 with salad / celery, both were excellent, but out favorite was the "salad" Lobster Roll.

    Getting a lobster roll was a must on our trip to Cape May - I had never had one before, and this was the place to break that streak! We found La La Lobster through Yelp and Google Reviews, and given its proximity and great reviews, we gave it a try. It's located right off the beach in a little strip with a few other stores / restaurants. They have a fairly small sign, so you might miss it if you didn't know it was there! There are a few tables / chairs to sit in right by the storefront, but also ample seating around the bend of the small shopping strip. We stopped by for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon, and we were pleased to find no line. The menu actually has a lot of options, which I wasn't expecting for a lobster roll spot, but nice to have the variety. I was intrigued by their various lobster preparations, and I wasn't anticipating having options for "sauces". Not being a huge fan of mayo, I went for the mango prep of my roll, and it was so delicious! It really brought out the freshness of the lobster, and it was nice to have a sweet pairing that still seasonal and had a hint of spice to it with the peppers. The lobster itself was nicely cooked, and it was all enclosed in a heavily buttered (appropriately so) roll. I was definitely impressed with it, and it was a great first experience! My husband got the spicy take on the lobster roll, which he also enjoyed! Of course, prices are steep for lobster, but I felt it was a fair deal for the amount of meat on our roll, the unique sauces, and the accompanying chips. La La Lobster was a great intro to lobster roll for me, and it was a great late lunch / early dinner! Would definitely recommend La La Lobster for anyone looking for a quick, quality, summery meal!

    Ask the Community - La La Lobster - Cape May

    How far in advance is the lobster cooked and the meat extracted? (Is the lobster fresh or frozen?) It certainly wasn't at the time of purchase, or the service would have been much slower.

    Do not know the answers. My question is did you eat the lobster and did you like it? If yes, then processing really doesn't matter. I know I'll be back this week.

    Hi are you dog-friendly?

    There is outside seating, and there is a pet store across the way. Happy eating and shopping.

    I wasn't planning on reviews while on my vacation, but Hubs asked for this one. While there are…read moreseveral places in Cape May to get a Lobster Roll, we chose Cape May Fish Market because it had lots of seating indoors & out. It was quite chilly while we visited Cape May so we really wanted to sit inside. First, the positive: The place is clean and the staff is nice. The Lobster Roll is delicious and the Shrimp Cesar Salad tasted good, but this is also where it goes bad. It is a huge salad and only had 3 shrimp. The cost of the salad is the same as the Lobster Roll. There is no way a salad should cost 26.99 and only have 3 shrimp. A pound of shrimp market value is approximately $25.99 depending on size & location. When it was expressed to our server, she quoted market price increases and that we could order more shrimp at an upcharge. If market price for shrimp is that bad, take it off the menu or offer alternatives like adding chicken that won't result in an upcharge or advise your customers upon ordering that they'd only get 3 shrimp. Hubs probably would have ordered something else. It's Cape May Fish Market so they should be upfront about their seafood. I didn't really care for the fact that we asked about it and were brushed off. While we'll definitely return to Cape May, we may not return here. .

I also ordered a bottle of their house wine, and it was excellent. It was served nicely chilled with just the right amount of sweetness, making it the perfect pairing for my meal. The flavors complemented the gnocchi beautifully and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The sauce was fresh, light, and earthy, and I loved the addition of the pine nuts, which added a subtle crunch. I'm usually not a fan of mixing different textures in a dish, but everything came together so well that it completely changed my mind. The shrimp were cooked perfectly--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My daughter ordered the seafood pasta, and she loved it as well. The seafood was fresh, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together wonderfully. We both left our plates nearly empty because everything was just that good.

We enjoyed our lunch orders (Thai egg rolls and a salad topped with salmon immensely - much more than anticipated for a weekday lunch at an unheralded restaurant (which clearly is mainly, a bar). Prices, a bit regrettably, are scaled for Cape May in tourist season. While we enjoyed our lunch, dropping over $50 for our lunches plus two soft drinks was a bit more than anticipated. Still, Fins deserves more business than it appears to get. Hopefully in season it attracts it.

Reservations are a must and don't forget to BYOB. The vibes are quaint with a very small indoor dining room and an outdoor patio that's a bit larger. I'm really glad we requested a table outside, because the patio was so nice on a warm summer evening. What we ate -- started things off with mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad (on special) and kale cesar. All produce is sourced locally from Beach Plum Farm and both dishes were fab. For our main we shared crab cakes and scallops. Both were so fresh and came with a large portion. Every entree comes with brown rice and house cabbage slaw. Reviews will mention that this is pretty plain, but with the fresh seafood and dipping sauces it's really the perfect accompaniment. The scallops came with a delicious sweet ginger sauce and the crab cakes came with a creamy lemony tartar sauce. The decor is fun and kitschy and the inflatable whale in the bathroom tub made me laugh. Don't forget to grab a chocolate bar at the Louisa's chocolate shop which is adjacent to the restaurant. I'll be thinking about this meal for a while.
