I found this spot during Covid and still love to come at least once per summer for the good food and nice vibe by the water! The Connecticut lobster roll is very good, warm with butter and lemon and no mayo. They have other types of lobster rolls but I haven't tried them. The kids fried shrimp meal is pretty good, with fries, fried shrimp, and a juice box included. It's pretty kid friendly especially if you come on the earlier side. The line is long, but they do try to move things along and let you drink your drinks while you wait in line for the food. Then they have you sit and eat and coordinate that for you and bring the food to your table. Drinks are served at the bar. I've also had the hot pretzel which is just average. The white wine sangria is also just average, but the tequila cocktails are quite good. Highly recommend! read more

We love Lazy Lobster! My partner had come here years ago and kept talking about it so I finally said it's a nice night let's go. We got there a bit before the dinner crowd hit and were able to get a spot right away. The location is technically within a marina but across from the water. You still get the breeze and a beautiful view! This is definitely more of a casual spot. You order drinks from the bar and food from a separate food truck. You cannot pay for drinks and food at the same time but the system just...works? My spicy margarita was delicious, the frose looked good, and my Key West sandwich was yummy. I also got an order of sweet potato tots for us to share and they were great! My partner had the burger and he enjoyed it. Live music pretty much every evening. We headed out by the time they were done with sound check but before that there was a great playlist of music over the speakers. There is staff to help take away finished plates and drinks, there is also garbage if you prefer to do it yourself. Plenty of seating between high tops by the food truck and picnic tables closer to the bar. read more

Lazy Lobster - Seafood Near Me - East Rockaway, New York

Lazy Lobster is one of those places that instantly feels like summer. The outdoor atmosphere is fun and lively, the drinks are great, and the food always hits the spot. We enjoyed everything we ordered--from the lobster roll and fish tacos to the empanadas and frozen cocktails. It's easy to see why this place becomes such a hot spot once the weather warms up. That said, popularity comes with a few downsides. It gets incredibly crowded during peak summer hours, parking can be a challenge, and the separate lines for food and drinks mean you can spend a lot of time waiting just to place your orders. Service can also feel a bit slow when they're packed, though it's understandable given the volume. My advice: visit during off-peak hours if you can. You'll still get the great food, drinks, and beachy summer vibe without spending half your visit standing in line. read more

First time here. Came for an early dinner after work on a June Friday. It was easy to order and grab a seat. I got the mini crab cakes which were perfect. And also got the CT lobster roll over the summer salad. It was the perfect compromise of lobster roll meat (which tasted fresh and tender) and not feeling too heavy from the bread. My brother got a burger and was satisfied with it as well. We found a parking spot right away but can tell it gets crowded. While we did not stay long, it looks like there is also live music later on read more

chill spot for a sunday lunch. got there about 30 mins after they opened and it was already pretty busy but no wait. ordered the bayou lobster roll, connecticut lobster roll, lobster rangoon, and crispy shrimp. the lobster rolls were definitely the highlight. not quite portland, maine level, but some of the better ones i've had on long island. the rangoon was good but definitely more cream cheese than lobster and could've been fried a little longer. would definitely come back. read more

This place is super cute across from a waterfront! Note that it's outdoor only so perfect on a nice day. We tried CT roll & Cajun Roll both were good the lobster was a tad bit overcooked but still edible! Fries were perfect!! and our drinks were good too. We def have plans on coming back and trying some appetizers as well they had a good variety to choose from. The service is quick and the bus boy was super attentive and nice. Id give them a 8.5/10 read more

The Lobster on a Roll is delicious. Plenty of Lobster Meat. I think they have the best lobster rolls on Long Island.

Love this place. We stood on line to order and then handed a number to wait for our food at our table. This place is great to come to when the weather is nice. The lobster rolls were packed with lobster meat and were buttery. The fries are thin and crispy. The only thing I could complain is that the slaw was a little dry but it was still delicious. They have a variety of food and drink options. The later you get here, it gets packed. The staff does a great job to get the tables ready for the next group getting seated. read more

Quality severely declined. I'd rather take the long drive out east for lobster that is properly cooked. Not sure what happened, but it's soo chewy, nothing like how it used to taste. It was sour and fishy but not worth waiting another 35 minutes for more mediocre food. read more

The food was delicious. I had the Connecticut lobster roll which was packed with lobster. The pulled pork sandwich was very tasty. The crab cakes I was nervous about because they looked like hush puppies but they were so good. You order at a food truck but there are plenty of outdoor tables to sit at. There was also a live band. They have a bar. I brought a margarita but it was only okay. read more

Very casual restaurant, very busy, should get there early for parking and seating. A little pricey bit cajun lobster roll was great

Last day of the year before they're closed and not open until the next year. It's a purely outdoor restaurant where you order from the truck and bar and then find a seating area. Overall the food was great, fresh and tasty. The crab cakes were delicious and stuffed with fresh crab. The angry lobster roll is a traditional cold lobster roll with a mayo that is spicy which was delicious, highly recommend. The Bayou roll is a Cajun honey lobster roll served warm and the Cajun was apparent but not too overbearing. Also a hint of sweetness, highly recommend as well. The bread was very crispy and the rolls were pretty stuffed with lobster. Great place that started to have customers pour in around noon so definitely a place highly sought after in the community. Today was also half off all drinks ! read more

If you have a car and love to explore food, I highly recommend trying out this place. They have a small parking lot, so no need to worry about parking. It's also not your normal restaurant vibe, but definitely a vibe. As you enter the gate of goodness lol- you'll see the food truck, a bathroom or two to the left, and to the right you have tables to sit on and the Bar. I can only speak on the Lobster roll and french fries, which, they never fail to amaze me, 10/10. I also, have gotten their margaritas which is super delicious. My friends also said that their food were delicious. I do recommend going on a day that is not raining. You'll be able to enjoy the nice scenery and take pictures. I do believe that they have live concerts but please check out their websites for further information. Cash or card is accepted, not sure if they accept apple pay. But, before the Summer ends go take a stroll to this lovely neighborhood and go eat some great food. read more

The big debate remains: traditional Lobster roll or Connecticut lobster roll?! My vote is for Connecticut. The traditional Lobster roll was good but i could barely taste the lobster after all the mayo. The warm, buttery CT version has my vote. Get here right when it opens. There is plenty of outdoor seating but it started getting busy by the time we left. Super kid-friendly! It was beautiful weather and the views are great here, right by the boating dock. Loved our meal here, can't wait to check out their other locations. read more

What a great spot! Came here on a Friday afternoon with one of my brothers and it was well worth the cost of lobster at (MP). I ordered the shrimp po'Boy came with fries and my bro order the Connecticut lobster roll. They come with fries and coleslaw. Flavor of the shrimp po' boy was out for his world! The flavor on each bite of shrimp with the potato roll was A1. The lobster roll was stuffed and all accounts say it was worth the cost. The boozy Arnold Palmer's were tremendous, great flavor. The vibe easy going open air seating and the table runner is ready to clear off tables and keeping it clean. Definitely the kind of place you can go to for lunch or hit it for a quick drink. 5/5 stars! read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would but unfortunately this is not an option. I've always wanted to try to this place I have heard from numerous people that the food is really good. We walked up to the restaurant and no one was welcoming us in. very unfriendly people. When I got to the truck to take my order this young girl with black hair was taking orders and she looked like a nasty person and not happy to be at work today. I ordered my brother a burger and he requested it medium and the girl had no idea what medium meant and she said do you want the burger pink and I told her just a little pink and she said let's just say pink. Then I told her that my brother has a seafood allergy and typically seafood restaurants and pretty much any restaurant in general will be accommodating and work around it but the girl had no idea what to say and the manager came out and said they won't be able to work around it and be accommodating so we just walked away and left. I also wasted a dollar parking in their parking lot. If you want welcoming restaurant workers and people willing to accommodate those with allergies do not come here. read more

Food is solid, ambiance is fun! We love taking the boat there from LB and now the kids can walk next door for dessert too

Awesome family and friends atmosphere. Fun filled beautiful water front spot. With delicious tasty seafood from there Food Truck kitchen. Like big yummy Burgers and fries, meat and seafood tacos, lobster and lobster rolls and fish and amazing bands that play while you enjoy your food and Drinks. Or jump up and dance with this boisterous friendly fun crowd. The place is always packed even on Mondays. Go have fun. Free parking after 6 pm. After 8pm on the dock. But easy to use Flobird meters. Great for a day out with the family or night out with the girls or boys. read more

I'm not sure what people enjoy about this place, the food is overpriced and lacks flavor. It must be a place that's known for its drinks. It takes a while to get your order even on a not so busy day, it has great live bands, not really a place for people with families although I have seen children dining there. I really don't get the hype. Not my cup of tea. read more

Went on a Tuesday eveniLine wasn't too bad. I had the angry lobster roll and it tasted great. Mac and cheese bites were also very good.

The lobster roll was good but not great, pretty overpriced for the amount of lobster you get. It's a much better deal over at Jordan's where they stuff the lobster roll read more

This is a very nice spot right on the water. Just keep in mind that you order food at the counter, get a number, and then find your table your meal will be delivered to you. Drinks are ordered separately at the bar, so you'll need to visit both spots if you want food and beverages. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, the food was delicious, and they even have live music after a certain time, which adds to the charm. read more

Finally got to visit lazy lobster and wow! 10/10!! Came around noon on a Monday and it was empty!!!! The last two times we attempted to come here it was crazy packed. So we were so relieved to see that there wasn't a crazy line. It was our first time and the staff was super helpful and friendly. Food is ordered at the truck and a number is given to you. The number is then placed on the stand where you choose to sit. Once the food is ready someone will bring the food out to your table. We ordered crispy fish tacos and the bayou lobster roll ($28.95). We were surprised and happy to see they offered a kids menu $10 for 3 nice sized chicken fingers, fries and a Mott's apple juice box with the best honey mustard sauce. (4% discount if paying in cash). I must say it was so nice to finally get a lobster roll on a toasted bun... the bayou roll has the perfect amount of hot honey and sprinkled with chives - perfection! The crispy fish tacos were also delish! Drinks are ordered separately at the bar-I got the spicy big girl margarita- it was fantastic. I'm not a beer drinker but I tried my husbands beer - mango harvest? On tap- was soooo refreshing! I can't wait to come back and enjoy the live music on a summer evening. read more

This review is tough for me, because there are so many positives, I really want to give a higher score but just cannot. Almost leaning more towards two stars, but don't feel like that's fair given how much I want to like this place. First the positives: The entire space is fantastic. Super spread out so great for families. The staff were all really nice and helpful navigating an extensive good looking menu, and you really couldn't beat the area. It was near some water and availability of parking made it easy to pull up and get in. The bathrooms are clean, condiments and any extras you need are all right there for you, and I liked the concept of a food truck separate from the bar. Now for the critical feedback. The food itself tasted ok, but my whole family felt sick the rest of the evening after having lunch. Not food poisoning sick, but too much old grease and absorbent amount of butter just feeling gross after sick. Reminded me of how I felt when I was younger after eating a bunch of fried food at a bowling alley. We came in for lunch and no one wanted dinner, because we all felt sick several hours later. Next the pricing. I get the MP for lobster being necessary, but just update it daily. We got one order of chicken strips and fries for the girls and two different lobster rolls for my wife and I, and it came it to $100. Definitely didn't expect that seeing everything on the menu was under $20. The last thing, and this kind of made me mad; if you are serving $40 lobster rolls, you should have a decent wine option for guests.... I asked what rose or white they had, and the bartender admitted it was sad and pulled out a 1.5 liter bottle of Woodbridge. The step above box wine. That's all you could get. I still can't believe you are serving the absolute worst wine that comes in a bottle to your customers with $40 lobster rolls. No reason you can't have both a nice option and a cheap one. Makes zero sense. Two glasses of the worst wine out there, with a can of domestic beer and I got hit with another $30 tab. Feel like I got taken advantage of to be honest. In summary, I wish I could give 2.5 stars. There is so much to build off of. This place could be epic, but there needs to be some changes made before I'd consider coming back. read more

We love coming to Lazy lobster the outdoor grab a drink and lobster roll whilst talking it up and watching the sunset as we see the water is just ever so relaxing!

Food is good, prices are steep but typical for the lobster rolls these days! read more

By far my favorite Lobster Roll ! Outdoor seating with a large bar. The Frose is always delicious and they have a great drink menu. They often have a live band as well. This place is great in summer it's like a hidden gem ! read more

Not sure how I've yet to leave a review for Lazy Lobster yet, we've been coming here on our way back from Jones Beach for years. Where to even start? Never had a bad meal or experience here (minimum 15 visits I'd guess). And not just amazing food, the staff here smiles, they're happy to work here, speaks to owners probably being good humans. Have caught live music a few times too which makes the vibes even better. read more

BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD! I get the pulled pork sandwich every time, and it never disappoints. Fun live music and it makes for the perfect summer night. read more

I heard good things about Lazy Lobster so I went there to hear a band that was playing, have some food a good time. When I went to sit down the security says you have to order food and then sit down. What? But I wanted to sit down have a drink or two then order food. No you can't. But I can order a drink at the bar but then you have to wait on line with your drink in hand on the sidewalk and then you can sit down. BS. This place does not know how to run a business. The line was like 20 people long and you have no choice but to wait on line before sitting down like some kind of grade school cafeteria. No class this place. If you treat me like that, you are not getting my business. Go to Freeport and the Nautical Mile, they seat you like a human being and treat you like you are important to them. And they have great music. Needless to say I did not stay and will never return--unless they learn how to run a business and treat people with respect. Lazy Lobster, yes they are lazy. read more

What a great find! Super clean and energetic summer spot. Loved having a friend meet up here, it was super easy. The service was kind and helpful, and easy as its window order and take to your seat (for drinks; the food truck food is delivered to your table). The spicy lobster roll was delicious, but the fish and chips really brought it home for me. The cod was hot, fresh and delicious. It was flaky and had melt-in-the-mouth vibe. For dessert I had a frozé and it was perfect. They have happy hour and weekly specials, I will def return when I'm in Long Island again. read more

First time there and last time. Order 5 lobsters rolls they all tasted fishy. They were not good at all. Waited on a long line everyone raves about the place and I do not see why. Very pricey for a place you order at the window and hope you get a seat! Since the owner answered me and was actually rude I'm happy I gave a bad review. Instead of being courteous and apologetic maybe I would have tried it again but he would rather answer back arrogant and nasty. Great business owner! Thanks for your kind words! read more

Great outdoor spot for some live music and good food. The only downside is having to wait in line for food can take up to 45 mins on a busy night . read more

I'd go 3.5 stars but Yelp denies me this ability. Pros: great outdoor atmosphere (no indoor seating) near the water. there are 3 styles of lobster roll to choose from: New England, Connecticut and Angry (with Sriracha Mayo) but there are many non lobster options. There was live music on the Saturday evening we were there. Street parking not hard to find. Cons: the traditional lobster roll lacked flavor to me even with lemon added. For $32 i need more flavor. I'd recommend Connecticut or Angry if you get a lobster roll. If you are there with friends the live music makes it too loud to have any conversation. The line is about 30 minutes long at peak times plus another 10-15 minutes for food. read more

Lazy Lobster - Traditional lobster roll, Cole slaw and sweet potato tots. - Seafood Near Me - East Rockaway, New York

Lazy Lobster is a decent local spot for lobster rolls. The food is OK but somewhat pricey. It is the combination of free VPN-friendly Wi-Fi, a good drinks menu, and a relaxed outdoor space that somewhat balances the inadequacies in the food and makes Lazy Lobster a nice place to spend a few relaxed hours. Food: OK (3 of 5). Dishes we had: - Angry Lobster Roll: Market price (about $24 at our visit near mid-May). Good, could be fresher, on a perfectly toasted bun. - Grilled Shrimp Tacos: $15; a bit dry. - Chili Pop Shrimp: $16. Heavily breaded, heavily sauced. Logistics: - Metered parking spaces are available in front. - Order your food at the entrance, then find a seat at a picnic table or order a drink at the bar. The food is brought out to you. - Menu prices assume cash payment; there is a surcharge for card payments. - There is a condiments station with extra napkins, condiments (just ketchup), and water. - Ask for the Wi-Fi password, it isn't printed anywhere. - Three separate bathrooms are available for men, women, family / handicapped customers. Lazy Lobster is located right behind a small pier -- weather and capacity permitting, it may as nice or nicer to bring your food outside the restaurant and relax by the pier. Overall: Good (3.5 of 5) read more

I loved the Lazy Lobster. I generally love anywhere with a little alliteration in the title. Our party of 4 showed up on a Saturday evening. We didn't have a problem getting a table after ordering. We placed our orders at the front of the food cart and then got a seat and someone came to take our drink orders. The meal didn't come cheap, but it's Long Island seafood right by the water and it was delicious so it was worth every dollar. I ordered the the lobster roll which came with a side of fries and the Buffalo beef & cheese empanadas. The lobster roll was perfect - cool and well mixed in Mayo on a toasted bun. The fries were warm and crunchy. I also ordered the Buffalo beef and cheese empanadas, which were a little too spicy for me to enjoy. Luckily, my friends had no problem eating them for me. Our group also had the calamari, the shrimp salad, and a few other things. The calamari was amazing - the perfect temperature and perfect texture. It came with a side of the "boom boom" sauce which only added to the perfection. The outdoors park-feeling vibe of the place couldn't be beat. Good food, good friends, good times. read more
