The food was amazing.. I had tried in 2023 after seeing a picture of the seafood risotto online. Sadly the wait was long and I did not make a reservation.. so summer 2024 I made the reservation.. mmm well worthwhile.. for sure when ever I travel to town in the future I will make a reservation read more

This seems to be a popular spot so be sure to make a reservation! That said, we were told 45min of waiting time to get any seating that becomes available. After maybe 20min our buzzer flashed/vibrated. Got seating at the heart of the restaurant-the bar. It's buzzing and it's loud. Not the music but just people talking...... Outdoor seating is likely much more quiet and overlooking the marsh. Service is quick. Drinks came right away. Food took a bit longer. Presentation is good (haddock tacos and ahi tuna tower). It was ok but not overwhelmingly good. Heaps better than any seafood shack near and far. We are always looking for creative dishes and presentation not the usual tourists traps. I'd recommend this because of atmosphere, nice view of the marsh and menu options. Would I come back. Likely. But only with reservations to get a nice patio seat with view. read more

I am still dreaming about my lobster dinner. I will be back in the future Because this place is perfect! For starters we had calamari which was amazing. For dinner I had the 1 lb lobster with mashed potatoes and veggies. The portions are so large but everything was fresh and flavorful. There was a decent wait but we grabbed a drink at the bar and waited on the patio for about 45 mins but 100% worth the wait. #ThankYouThursday read more

Lobsta Land - Seafood stew - Seafood Near Me - Gloucester, Massachusetts

I went to Lobsta Land last week with a friend and my dog. The restaurant was very full but the host offered to seat us at the outdoor bar. It quickly became apparent that my dog would not be comfortable between my stool and the bar and the bartender was right there to suggest that she put our name in for a table. She said that we would have to leave the bar while we waited but told us to grab a couple of Adirondack chairs on the deck where they would deliver our drinks. It was a very comfortable space where we stayed for no longer than 10 minutes before being led to our table. Once we were seated, a large bowl of ice water was brought over for the dog, who had plenty of space. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating and the lobster rolls were delicious. We'll definitely be back. read more

We had the Lobsta Roll and Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. It was a 30 min wait but we got in much sooner. There is a relaxing patio in the back of you want to grab a drink and wait for your table. The service was great and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back. read more

My sister-in-law was visiting from the Midwest and wanted fresh lobster. We drove two hours from Western Massachusetts to fulfill her wishes. The calamari appetizer was delicious, but the lobster was so disappointing! it was the worst lobster we've ever had- tough and chewy. We couldn't even finish it. When we complained to the management, they said they would "fix" our check. They ended up charging us the full price PLUS an extra $38.50 for an item we didn't even order! We eventually got that taken off the bill and a $12 "reduction" for the two inedible lobsters. What a disappointing experience for our visitor! read more

today i ordered a pickup , clam appetizes there were more than enough clams unforyunatly they were very big and not tender or sweet when i got back to work i could not finish them i threw more than half away,i beleive they should not have sold them $$40 is a lot of money to waste this is not the first time i have had bad food here in september i had overcooked clams,i like the restaruant but i will think long and hard about going back usualy the food is very good read more

The views and food are always top notch. I went with a friend and put our name in at the front desk for a table outside. We were quoted 25 minutes. We went outside and ordered a drink at the bar to relax while we waited to be paged. After 45 minutes we realized people who arrived after us were being seated, I checked in at the front. For some reason my name was still there and everyone else below us was crossed off. Not sure why they skipped our party of 2 and sat multiple other 2-4 tops but we were seated after an hour of waiting. Our top notch server Amy made all the difference, she was wonderful! Next time I'll be sure to circle back to the front to be sure we aren't skipped. read more

The food was delicious. We had a mixture of seafood meals, burgers, and sandwiches, all of which were delicious. The service was good and all the staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was fun, the outdoor seating and view was spectacular. Overall a wonderful place to eat and a place we would visit again if we were in Gloucester. read more

Best outdoor seating area around. Great servers, friendly and efficient . Excellent food.

When we went to lobsta land after a long boating day, we were met with very nice service (specially Sean). Throughout the whole night he joked around with them and was very quick with service. Also, the food was very good and I recommend the clams. read more

Excellent food, great views, and friendly staff. It can get noisy inside during the summer when it's consistently packed. Make reservations pretty much any time, especially during the height of the tourist season. They've extended their season deep into the fall this year, I really hope they keep that up in years to come. My favorite choices are the mussels, the fish stew, and any and all fish specials. Really though, you can't go wrong with anything they serve. Good beer list as well. read more

Other than the fried fish, which was very good, the scallops, shrimp, and especially the clams, were over cooked and tasteless. The clams were especially disappointing. Overcooked, crisped and almost burned. The Cole slaw had no flavor. Fries and calamari were plain. Very disappointing for such a big name restaurant right on the water. We went on a saturday. It was packed. No excuse for such poor clams. Will not return. The seafood platter was $50. Feeds 2. read more

I really like Lobsta Land. Great ambiance, usually good food. Do NOT get the paella. It's terrible. Zero flavor. Soupy. Terrible. Didn't even feel like a paella. The seared tuna was fantastic. Service was great. read more

This place never disappoints. Chock full of locals. I can't imagine this place in season. Make reservations, no kidding. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the lobster chowder, $32. Very awesome. Lots of huge chunks of lobster meat, one small claw meat. Some pieces were less than choice, but still very flavorful. If you can find better, let me know. I powered some bread and butter that was served with a pickled herb & caper spread. The alcohol free IPA was fantastic. It was a micro brew offering. Lemony, fresh and complimented my meal perfectly. Creme Brûlée for dessert was I no brainer. perfect with a whisper of caramelized sugar on top. I cannot wait for my next trip to Gloucester. Lobsta Land is must. read more

Took a detour thru Gloucester and saw this place. Decided to take a chance and we were extremely pleased! We started with a tuna tower appetizer, and our entrees included a lobster roll, whole Maine lobster, and fried clams and scallops. I thought the food and service were both excellent! Highly recommended! read more

The place was busy but the people and food were amazing. I will come back here.. atmosphere was good too.

Went to Lobsta Land Restaurant a week and a half ago and ordered this, the "fresh catch of the day" for $35! It was a slice of tuna less than 1/2 inch thick. I felt totally ripped off (and hungry). We've been several times in the past and always found it to be expensive but this was the last straw. No, I didn't say anything, just left hangry with the intention of never returning. read more

After a long day at the beach, eating fresh food is the best way to end the day. Overall I had a good experience. It's not too busy on a weekday night, my waitress was friendly and helpful. They have a regular menu, a daily special menu and plenty of drinks from bar menu to choose from. Price is decent for the generous portion size. read more

Wonderful ambiance out on the patio. Had lunch on a Sunday. View is terrific, live jazz music set the scene. Our servers were great. Sadly, food is just mediocre. To be fair, I hear the lobster was tasty. But everything else (chowder, salmon, fish n chips, fried calamari, Portuguese haddock, truffle fries) was truly mediocre. Surprised given ratings and the local competition. Hard to recommend based on the food quality. read more

A long time favorite, but last night went totally over the top. We had a large family gathering, with a table for 10 plus a high chair. Although the parking lot was jammed as usual, our outside table was ready and waiting. The weather was perfect, with a glorious sunset. Our server, Courtney, started handing the baby a pack of oyster crackers as she took the beverage order, and things only kept getting better and better! His grilled cheese plate arrived quickly so he was happy. Everything was delicious, promptly served with special requests exactly on targe. Dinners were delicious and huge salads, haddock chowder, crab cakes, steamers, seafood platter, special seafood risotto ( so creamy and beyond delicious), lazy man's lobster, and one lobster roll. Later in the evening when the little one got impatient, Courney asked for permission to bring him a cup of berries with a separate cup of whipped cream. He was happy, we were happy, and I can't think of any way either Courtey or the restaurant could have improved on anything! read more

Have come here lots over the years. The food quality is always good. Servers are always very nice. We always make reservations, but lately have had to wait for tables to leave. Great place for lobster tho without having to go to Maine! Someone should tell them though - serving those rolls without browning them is kinda gross. (Yes we told the waitress who told us they no longer heated them). She did nicely go heat them for us to make them edible. I think they'd be better off not serving them at all? read more

Food was very good. Highly recommend the Sicilian Style Mussels & the Lazy Man's Lobster. They were very busy on a Saturday so recommend making reservations ahead of time to avoid a long wait. Service (while super busy) was very kind and attentive to every need. read more

Lack of communication. I checked in as a walking, I was told the wait time was 1 hour 30 minutos for outside sitting and I agreed. When the 1 hour 30 minutes were done I checked with the one more time. This time I was told that they actually meant 2 hours I was calm and agreed one more time. After 2 hours waiting I went to check and this time they told they have no idea how longer it will take. I asked am I at least I the next party? And they keep saying they have no idea. How come they keep us waiting for two hours and after that they don't have an idea if you are the next one on being sitting? We ended up leaving. read more

The staff is very busy as the place is crowded. Prices are kind of high and the lighting is very dim. Food is decent. The best dishes were the pasta with shrimp and the seafood platter. Mussels were okay, lemony and full of broth that tasted delicious with bread. The crab cake was okay because the were no big chunks of crab in it. It was filling and tasty but needed more of a bite. People enjoyed their meals and portions were big so many left with take out. Mera's Tip: have the pasta read more

Late lunch for 5 of us after a day at the beach. Lobster rolls with fresh large chunks of lobster with no fillers. Chowder was filled with clams along with potatoes. The chowder has a perfect consistency. Not too thick but nice broth. Steamers. Perfect. A shrimp with pasta dish was ordered by one of us and he ate every bite. The wedge salad and onion rings were part of our order. The waitress was on point. Friendly and perfect service. read more

The service was fine; always greeted nicely and server was good. The food was average at best. I have been eating the fish sandwich here for years and it has never disappointed. This sandwich feels like it was defrosted and cooked and it was from a third party vendor. It was too uniform. Very let down. Two lunches with no apps nor liquor 60.00 without gratuity. I don't mind paying for a good lunch and paying a good price, but it should be good. The ambiance is great outside. Inside it is alright. If it is hot I highly recommend eating inside as the ac is excellent. read more

I do wish I took a photo. Shame on me. We brought my cousin from out of town. He wanted fresh seafood. On the menu Lots were listed at market price and we were prepared to pay. We live in Ipswich. My cousin had the fisherman's platter for $50. No complaints. Plenty of fresh and tasty choices on the platter. We even ordered a fried clam appetizer which cost $28. Very tasty and delicious. BTW my husband loved the fish tacos. The service was excellent. The True North beer on tap was pricey at $9. Other places are $7 or 8. The shocker was my lobster roll. Normally if I want a lobster roll, I go up to Beach Plum. But I'd heard that in the past LL had really good rolls so I figured what the heck. Frankly with covid, I haven't ordered the roll out in a few years. I was prepared for the cost but the roll consisted of maybe 3 claws cut in chunks. No tail. $37! I wanted to substitute the fries for the truffle fries. I was told they'd be extra and I was fine paying another $8. But when I saw the size of the roll and the total was $45 for the measly roll with truffle fries, I was disheartened. And, no, I did not say anything. I didn't even complain at the table to my party because I did not want to draw negative attention while my cousin was there. read more

He likes seafood, but I don't. We both had great meals though! The autumn rendition of a wedge salad was terrific with the butternut squash added. He raved about the mussels, and our guest had his first lobster and loved it! read more

My sister ordered their paella and she was in love with it. Since we've returned from our trip she still talks about it. The wedge salad satisfied my want for something fresh- easily could have shared it. The lobsta roll was also pretty tasty. Simple. Couldn't complain. read more

Great location. Easy to get in and out of. If you get a window or patio seat it's a gorgeous view otherwise dark casual lively atmosphere. We were seated immediately at noon on a November Sunday so that was great. Food looked great but lacked as much flavor as it appeared to have. Cocktail menu l and beer selection looked very good.. 4 of us. 2 of us ordered tacos,1 fish sandwich and 1 sample plate. Generous portions. Food was not bad fresh cute presentations. But not great either. Bloody Mary was ok,something missing , more lemon? More horseradish idk but i have had much better.white sangria was overly juicy... By a lot. Sangria is wine with muddled fruit and some liquor this tasted like a ton of OJ and pineapple juice with a splash of wine annd liquor. Beer options were great. Service was ok, she definitely wanted us to clear out so she could seat another party and make more $$ faster. Felt a bit rushed for the $$ entrees are minimum $24 /pp and the drinks are $15 each so give us a minute read more

Got kids in the car? You're going here. Want seafood but don't really know what want? You're going here. Simply don't want to think too much? You're going here. Always good. Solid in every category. Great deck. Solid bar. Live music from time to time. Only reason it's not five stars is parking lot. Once you try to back out on a Sunday you'll understand. read more

Service was impeccable and the lobster clam chowder was amazing. I do think next time I will order the Lazy Man'a Lobster, but that is just my preference. We ordered the calamari, the spicy clams, and clam chowder as appetizers as well. read more
