    Lobster Mac and Cheese
    Amy Y.

    Located on King Street in the theatre district, this is a place that has a vibe of typical chain restaurant but I'm not sure if there are any other locations. We came around 5 pm and chose to just get shareable items before our show. Menu is burgers, salad, pasta, steak and seafood etc., most with lobster in the food description. Service is very good. When we arrived we were offered a complimentary glass of Chardonnay and during dinner we were check in on at least 3 times with once being the manager of the evening. What was ordered: Chicken sliders - 3 to an order; just okay, nothing spectacular LBB nachos - drizzled with lobster cheese sauce but no actual pieces of lobster; nacho chips seem old Lobster Mac and Cheese ($36.00) - you can taste bits of lobster in the dish but flavor wise was nothing amazing. The service made this place a 4, otherwise based on food alone? I would have ranked a 3.

    The weekday lunch buffet has no burgers & definitely no lobster, but it's only $23 & has roast beef. The food was a Mish Mash of cuisines & different from the usual menu. All dishes were at least pretty tasty. Even the sushi was pretty good (this is not a sushi place) & the seaweed was the crispest I've had at a buffet. Roast beef was not the best cut but was tender & medium rare. At this price there's nothing to complain about. The biggest surprise was the roasted peppers which were really tender & had a great grill flavour. Potato salad with white balsamic dressing was good too with firm potatoes & a novel dressing. The fried rice was Japanese style so don't expect Chinese style. Stuffed basa had a good flavour & balance. The toppings didn't overpower the fish yet were not so weak that you only tasted the fish. Even the deep fried items (shrimp & wings) were good - not the usual buffet cheap crap. The only flaw was the desserts, eg the cream puff was a little dry. The tanghulu came out slowly but was not worth waiting for - the fruit was too big & the candy layer too soft & too thick.

    At $55, the Winterlicious dinner was a steal, with plenty of choice across both starters and mains. I landed on the lobster cakes and was pleasantly surprised when a trio arrived atop a bed of sweet corn succotash. Fluffier than classic crab cakes but still packed with seafood, they were hot, crunchy, and disappeared far faster than expected. Then came the seafood boil... I was floored by the size. A massive bowl overflowing with prawns, mussels, crab legs, corn, potatoes, and sausage hit the table. The seafood itself isn't top tier (frozen crab legs and small mussels), but there was more than enough of it, and for a Winterlicious special, it absolutely delivered. Even better, nothing was overcooked, which can be difficult when you're serving so many diners. Flavour-wise, it leaned more satay than Creole, and it was definitely on the salty side, especially for a dish that arrives without bread. The sausage made everything a bit too oily and were so salty that it was inedible and could've been left out. That said, the potatoes soaked up the seasoning beautifully and were soft, comforting, and satisfying. Dessert was a dense, creamy cheesecake. The graham crust was thicker and harder than I'd like, but once broken up and eaten with the cake, it added a buttery, nutty crunch that worked. I appreciated that the topping stayed neutral with berries, letting the cheesecake itself shine. What Lobster Burger Bar gets right is balance. The space isn't stuffy or overly formal, rather there's a casual elegance that makes it feel approachable. The staff were a big part of that. Victoria and Jay introduced themselves naturally and checked in just enough to make us feel well taken care of without hovering. Even the drinks were pleasantly affordable. My vodka martini rang in at $15 instead of the $10 "certain hours" price listed on the menu, but it was strong enough that I didn't feel like nitpicking. Their special cocktail, Sexy & Free, a nod to & Juliet currently playing in Toronto, was only $8 and stayed that way on the bill. Peachy, light, and dangerously easy to drink.

    Great experience at the Sunday all-you-can-eat! The vibe was immaculate; not only was the food tasty and served fresh, but the drinks were the high light of the night. Good quality liquor and all you wanted-- can't complain there! As well, the staff were very attentive and ensured that the night went smoothly. Two managers (i think?) were in attendance and went around the tables to ensure guests were happy. Bonus points for individual washroom stalls-- that is always a plus in my books!

    First time trying lobster burger bar and don't think it will be our last! We went to check out their daily happy hour deal and it was pretty solid. As part of the happy hour menu, they offered $5 drinks and half priced appetizers and sushi. In terms of the food, I definitely recommend their lobster bisque, crab cakes, and sushi tacos (crunchy and saucy at the same time). Everything we ordered was delicious! The service in the beginning was great but then it suddenly slowed down and our waitress forgot about our table? We were also celebrating a birthday which I've noted in the reservation but that wasn't taken into an account. The place is spacious and fairly clean.

    I think I was expecting more from this place, but there was some positives. Service was good. We had a friend birthday and they were kind enough to do a little chocolate cake on the house. We got the lobster risotto, mini lobster rolls, lobster cakes, and the rainbow salad. I thought the risotto was good as well as the mini lobster rolls. Price was what you'd expect downtown Toronto for this kind of food. Makes lobster more accessible as there are some expensive seafood places but this place is quite casual in nature. The owner came to have a chat with us as well which was nice.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Lobster Burger Bar. Came in after a showint at Roy Thomson Hall closeby, and it was a great spot to wind down afterward. The lobster roll was delicious fresh, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. The vibe was lively but comfortable, and service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a solid experience and a great post-show stop. Will be back :)

    Lobster Burger Bar has a fantastic happy hour deal, especially for downtown Toronto. I believe it runs between 2PM-5PM, while we made it for the 8PM-close time slot that is available on weekdays. My friends and I dropped in recently after hunting for a deal in the King Street West area (we were not successfully) and were genuinely impressed by the quality, value, and vibe. Drink specials were appreciated, with handcrafted cocktails, draft beers, and rail drinks all offered at great prices. I especially loved the $14 margarita flight, which was a perfect sharing option between 3. We also ordered a bottle of wine - for 50% off, why not? All appetizers are 50% off as well, which is an amazing value. They have some great options, which aren't even that pricey BEFORE the discount. I would recommend everything we ordered - lobster bisque, popcorn shrimp, LBB nachos, calamari, and lobster cakes. It did seem like we ordered most of that appetizer menu. For all this food, plus our drinks, it only came out to about $100 for three people - an amazing deal. Everything tasted great of course. The atmosphere is stylish, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're catching up with friends or just treating yourself after work, this spot delivers. I'll definitely be back!

    The staff were lovely and attentive. The lunchtime buffet price was incredible and ordering a refillable soft drink was an additional dollar only. Good variety of proteins, veggies and sushi. I would recommend that management ensure that their salad greens is fresh, (as I noted the lettuce leaves to be browning). The kale in the hot plate was a bit bland. Overall, a lovely experience and nice ambiance.

    This place has a lot to offer: high quality seafood and lobster rolls, burgers and handhelds, steaks and lamb shanks, desserts, cocktails, wine and beer, great vibe and good quality service. You can even hold events here. We got here on a weekday night and there was a small private event at that bar. We ordered "Black Truffle Rolls" with sweet potatoes and "Wagyu Burger" paired with white wine. Our food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely would like to come back and try more of their menu options.

    I give the service, food and ambience 5 stars! This restaurant knows how to treat their customers well and serve good food and drinks without the hefty price tags in the downtown core. We chose this place for a quick bite before the show due to its proximity to the Royal Alexandra theatre. We went with combo 1 to be shared between the two of us and chose to upgraded our fries to lobster supreme fries and chose lobster bisque as a side. We had the option to upgrade the 1lb lobster to 2lb but we didn't as it was enough food to be shared. The food came promptly and the manager came by multiple times to chat and check up on us. It was a wonderful experience leaving us in good spirits for the show. A great place for decent seafood and service and will definitely be back!

    Overall rating: 4.7/5 Came here on a recommendation from a foodie friend for their Summerlicious menu, and we were blown away. This is coming from someone who's not a lobster fan! Lobster roll: small chunks of lobster in a light mayo mixture, piled onto a beautiful, toasted roll (reminded me of Chinese bakery egg bread). Love that they didn't go heavy on mayo and lobster wasn't mushy, so I could actually taste the lobster and enjoy the texture. Honestly the only thing I wanted more was for the roll to be toasted with garlic butter. For an extra $3, I upgraded my side to the lobster chowder, which was rich and satisfying. I'm glad I got the side, because the appetizer size would've been too much for me. Lobster penne: This was probably the least exciting dish for us. It was packed with lobster flavour, but I wish there were larger lobster chunks to improve the overall texture of the dish. It was quite heavy with the cream-based sauce (so if you're in the mood for carb & cream heaven, go for it). Lobster cakes: Pleasantly surprised by the portion size for the price! Perfectly crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and paired so well with the corn and spicy mayo. And we could definitely taste the lobster (so it wasn't just filler ingredients). But the thing that really made the dining experience amazing was the service. The manager made the effort to introduce themself, learn (and remember) our names, and checked in from time to time. This is not a one-off occurrence - my friend said this happened to them too. Can't wait to come back again!

The service was friendly and patient as I was greeted upon entry and took my time perusing the menu. The restaurant was very clean and organized, not a lot of stuff on the walls and the bathrooms were in top shape which I appreciated. I ordered the classic double burger, with a side a fries and a cane cola. The burger was delicious! Toppings were fresh and tasty, and it made a mess with the sauces and condiments which is a sign of a great burger. It wasn't overly huge, a good size for my hands and they did get messy as I devoured this scrumptious burger. The Cane Cola was a nice accompaniment to try for the first time but not necessary to enjoy the burger. The fries were golden and crispy and quite a large portion for the price. I just wished the fry lengths were a bit longer as I received a lot of tiny pieces instead of longer potatoes which meant I was scooping them up in my hand to eat them. Not a dealbreaker, just an annoyance. The wait for the food wasn't very long, about 5-8 minutes and they brought the order to the table. I really enjoyed the burger and fries making this NOT just another burger spot but MTTBS = Must try this burger spot!

Went on Monday afternoon as I was on my regular driving route and ordered the crispy chicken burger. It came out looking smashing as they use a complete chicken breast, really juicy and the taste is pretty good other than it was a bit salty. The only gripe I had was the shoestring fries, I would have much preferred fresh straight cut fries.
