Is it dated decor? Yes but cute outside, clean and who cares when the food is such good value. Beautifully cooked fish, and sides, generous portions and friendly service. I checked my bill twice because I thought they'd undercharged but it was correct. Definitely recommend, especially if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of town for a while. read more

Loved the food, service was outstanding!!The only waitress that was working did the whole restaurant. Three had quit the day before. The kitchen staff got the amazing food out real quick.Will return. read more

We loved it here! We went twice during our vacation! There are 2 dining rooms. The one to the right has better wi-fi reception. I like to post my photos to Yelp and was almost out of data. I was glad we ended up to the right the 2nd time. It's near the bar area. The menu has a lot to offer. I love the crab stuffed haddock. I got it both times. The onion rings are really good. The best I have ever had! I also got the veggies. I felt like the haddock portion was large. The first time I took half home and the 2nd we split the entree. I wanted to try some clam strips as an appetizer. And wow, they were so good! My husband isn't huge into seafood, but he got the fried haddock the first time and the 2nd split the clam strips and the stuffed haddock. He said he liked both. We also enjoyed the clam chowder! The waitresses were nice both time. Check the specials on the board. Oysters were on sale both times. I missed it the first time, but got a few the 2nd. I would eat here again next time we are in the area. It's not too far from Conway. We ate here after the train ride! read more

I am very disappointed how unclean this place is. The service makes you feel like you are annoying. The food is of poor quality and taste like it comes out of a box reheated. Don't get pizza unless you like eating cardboard. I still can't figure out how they can slice the fish that thin for their fish and chip. They must pound it down to 1/16" to stretch bc its mostly fried dough and empty in spots. I would give this place a minus multiple stars if i could. read more

We went for lunch. Had lobster stew and clam chowder and shared a pound of real steamers. Excellent! Obviously home made and fresh clams! A great place 5 minutes off the main road in North Conway! read more

Delicious!!! My favorite place when coming to visit NH Service is always awesome. Place is clean . Food is delicious !! read more

Haven't even been here yet but excited to check it out. I love that the employees stood up for themselves and that the managers backed them up. Servers and really anyone in the f&b/ hospitality industry are put a risk every time they go to work to serve people, they don't need Karen's getting pissed and being rude to them for things that is completely out of their control. Kuddos to you and look forward to be a patron out your establishment. Also, sorry but ya. If your from a major city, coming to a small town in New England and complaing on how things are ran, then gtfo. You didn't have to go on vacation during a pandemic if your so concerned about it. read more

An off the path restaurant that is your typical roadside seafood restaurant. Very clean and great service. I highly recommend the Italian Seafood Plate. Frutti de Marr on steroids (see picture). All the ingredients were fresh and the dish was enormous in size and flavor. Wife had the twin lobster tail dinner and couldn't have been happier. What ever past poor reviews they got are not valid now. I would come here weekly if I lived in the area. Take a step back in time to the lobster/seafood restaurants of the past. You won't regret it. read more

Seafood was delicious! Fried scallops and baked scallop dinners were amazing. Scallops were sweet and tender. Fried clams (whole) were also delicious! Breading on all fried food was light and tasty. Highly recommend! read more

We go here every time we come up to New Hampshire, which is typically at least once a year. The food is delicious and the service is great! Just went a couple days ago and our waitress had us laughing the whole night, making us feel at home. Highly recommend! read more

The food is awesome. We only waited 1/2 hour. My boys got fish-n-chips and chicken tenders. They loved it. Great portions. I got mixed broiled grill which I thought was a little pricey for the quantity. My biggest problem: I remembered I ordered a double baked potato the next morning which never came out to the table. Did the bright waitress forget to order it; did the cook forget to put it up? We will never know. -I didn't know how to rate the restaurant. Food was prepared very good; waitress was bright and personality was bubbling; pricing was fair; I guess I'm just a little disappointed in not receiving double baked. read more

This was a very unfortunate experience that could have been handled well but wasn't. Our waitress seemed not to like her job or people in general. I ordered a drink and they did not have the ingredients, I ordered another and again they ended up not having the ingredients. Each time it took about ten minutes to tell me this and when I was irritated the second time she came back she asks what kinds of drinks I like I say fruity and she says oh yea you would have liked what I ordered. Suggests 2 drinks with mint and I say I don't like mint to which I am told, "maybe you don't want a summer drink then." I ask for time to look again and she comes back about 20 min later when everyone else's drinks are empty. They have to ask for refills after I ask for my 3rd drink. Then when our food is supposed to be coming out my BILs order apparently needs to be changed because they are out of one of his food items. The entire time the waitress has an I don't give af attitude with my entire family who is up on vacation and is shocked by the behavior. Honestly my nephew and I who have both been servers at different times in our lives both said this is not how to treat a customer. When we asked to have our check split she flipped saying well you should have told me at the beginning I don't know if I can do that now. I don't even know what you got! We went through what the 2 people on one bill had and everything else was to be on the other bill. It shouldn't be so difficult to do and she did do it quite quickly so obviously it was it was entirely possible. I don't typically complain about things but even my husband was upset, a man who literally never complains. Avoid Brenda is all I can say. The clam chowder wasn't good but everything else we had for dinner was pretty good except the lobster was definitely not a lb and 1/4. My BIL said is fried seafood was bland. I did like my lobster and steamers but again it wasn't the size we paid $35 plus tax for read more

So excited to see the Lobster Trap close to where we were staying and planned it to be our first seafood outing, we had seen the parking lot full the evening prior. Next day easy to get ink great location and very surprised to have not one of our group, but all four disappointed in the food. We ordered a variety of items so we could all try different things. Clam chowder tasted much like canned chowder, lobster roll like regular hot dog bun and bland, mozzarella sticks were just okay, the sauce tasted to all three trying it to be prego. My lobster salad, the lobster was wonderful, the rest of the salad was a very simple typical supper club 'dinner salad' that had nothing special with no special dressing, choose from the usual choices. The clams. I look forward to East Coast clams and mussels, best ....these could NOT be washed enough to get the amount of sand and grit out in order to even try to tolerate them. Very disappointing. The salmon salad however is the winner and was for sure the one item we ordered that tasted good. Reading some of the reviews after and seeing the 'owner' post to a negative one political remarks very off-putting as going to a wonderful place to dinner with friends NEVER have I THERE had to worry about the restaurant being on whichever side of a political fence. No one I have ever eaten with has ever when a meal not 'good' then attributed it due to a political 'side'. The cost was mentioned, not by the person feeling food not great, but by the owner. Do you seriously feel that one 'side' likes the food and another 'side' does not?! That one is new to me and added after to the disappointment of the experience. Hopefully others find it a better experience than our group did read more

Amazing food. Owners were super nice. I got just about everything lobster on the menu. Loved the experience.

Amazing!!!! They were so nice and the food was great on price and taste. One of us ordered the seafood platter and the other was the baked stuffed scallops. Beautiful setting and they were ready to open after quarantine. read more

We are already planning our next trip to NH and Lobster trap will be one of our stops. Best regards from Brooklyn NY read more

Lobster Trap - Seafood Near Me - North Conway, New Hampshire

Loo-ahb-stah! And how. This place is pure crustacean heaven, and I've been returning here for nearly two decades during trips to the White Mountain region. The Lobster Trap is a really good out of the way/off the beaten path seafood joint (a notch above a salty shack and a notch below a five star seafood restaurant) with great food and good prices. Locals flock here. Most tourists (usually with Massachusetts license plates) don't even know this place exists. While these leaf peepers and image skiers are clogging up Route 16, those in the know come here for a first rate lobster/seafood FEAST - lobster bisque or lobster stew (or clam chowder), steamed lobster (or baked stuffed), whole bellies (or strips, if you're a Midwestern MORON), fries (or onion rings), and a Sam Adams draft. Translation: Lobster Trap is anything but a Tourist Trap. My only regret about this place is that Ian W. beat me to it for the first review. read more

Not only was the food great, the staff were very nice. The owner herself came and talked to us a while, she was very kind! the lobster was amazing. I don't understand how there are so many low reviews, the place was great, the ambiance, and it was pretty family-friendly. My younger brother made us go two days in a row because he like the food so much. all in all, great place, food wise and people-wise, definitely deserves a higher review. read more

First time here. Hostess was very pleasant and welcoming. Waiter was attentive. We were seated next to the bar and our table was pretty much up against bar stools with people sitting in them but there was a fireplace so it made up for it. Lobster Pie was fresh. I thought it would have bread crumbs/ritz crackers on it being a Lobster Pie but it was overloaded in butter so they probably got soaked up I'm guessing. I did ask our waiter and was told the bread crumbs were on it. I wasn't in the mood to argue and no effort was made to fix. For what we paid, we were still hungry and we even had a calamari appetizer with our meal. No salad or soup were included. It was just okay. read more

We wanted to eat lobster in Maine but didn't have enough time to get there so we settle for Concord, NH instead. The place was pack of people and we asked if we can buy the food to go but they say they were extremely busy and they won't do it so we waited for a table. I order the warm lobster roll w/butter and couple of us order the same thing too. The food came out slow and one look at how small the lobster roll was plus how the lobster meat look OLD. Anyway first bite, it was gross because of the soggy bun they serve it on?? How can u serve a lobster roll on a soggy bun and the meat didn't do so well. They say they pick the lobster everyday fresh but it tasted like it been FROZEN!! LOL I vote this place to be the WORST LOBSTER ROLL IN AMERICA!!!!! Worst expericne with a lobster in my life and it isn't that hard to cook a lobster too!! read more

Delicious! We make it a point to eat here every time we are in the area. The service is good and the lobster dinner was delicious.

Is this the dirtiest kitchen in NH??????? Maybe !!!!!!! Take a look in the kitchen.......... my GAWD..... RUN FAST..VERY FAST They are complaing to authorities that there needs to be " BEAR CROSSING " signs placed on West Side Rd near their restaurant..... Well all you need do is look at the unsecured dumpster in the rear of the bldg to see why the bears are near They have made us sick with the italian meals........ NOT RECOMMENDED read more

Was told a 20 minute wait and ended up waiting an hour and a half. Waited over a half hour to have our order taken. The server was very rude, acted like he didn't want to give anyone the time of day. Food took over an hour to come out. At one point we considered walking out during our hour wait for our food and just going to McDonald's. The food was bland and took another half hour to get our bill after we finished eating. Awful experience. read more

The early bird specials are worth it, get there before 6pm. Clam chowder was good, warm lobster roll was good (great lumps of crab on a toasted bun with butter, but left a filmy taste on your tongue and teeth), the clam strips were good in their tartar sauce, and the onion rings were great when hot but got starchy as they cooled. Would have given 5 stars, but I think their frying oil needs to be changed so it doesn't leave that filmy feeling on your tongue and teeth. Otherwise, flavors were good, service was friendly and options were just what you'd want from a place called Lobster Trap. read more

This place is unbelievable. Everything was so good. Clam chowder loaded with clams, lobster ravioli in cream sauce, fisherman's platter (huge), and the topper was the baked stuffed haddock. Everything was home made. Service was excellent. Prices water good. Definitely will be back!! read more

This gem of a seafood restaurant is quite off the beaten path (hint: it's past the bridge and a left turn at the barn), but once you find it, you will find it simply delightful. The lobster is fresh, and the fried clams are delicious. The best part? Total bill was $51 for two people. If I'm ever in the neighborhood again, I'm definitely coming back here. read more

Place is a joke. From the lady who seats you to the server who you watch write down your order and still bring it wrong - I didn't even waste my breath telling her because I could tell waiting tables was beyond her capabilities. She was very nice - but the service industry would not miss her one bit. I will say, though, the food was good - in spite of getting something I didn't order. read more

We were driving to downtown North Conway, and made a wrong turn, which took us to this restaurant. I think that was meant to be, because I was really, really craving whole Maine lobster, and lo and behold, there is the restaurant! The name of the restaurant caught my eye so we took a look at the menu and decided that their two 1 pound lobster deal for $35 was a good deal. The meal came with four sides. We decided on the salad, boiled string beans, clam chowder soup, and coleslaw. That was a lot of food! The lobster was fresh and absolutely delicious! The pound was definitely enough for me, although I did end up eating all the small legs from my bf's lobster. The coleslaw was a little heavy on the mayonnaise, but nonetheless, I still thought it was better than average. I enjoyed the clam chowder. There was a substantial amount of clam. The string beans, I can do without. Salad was large. I believe the proprietor was also our waiter. He was friendly and pleasant, making small talk with us. This restaurant has a family feel to it. I would definitely come back. read more

It was ok. I know I'm from New England so my expectations are high, but they just didn't quite make the cut. The service was not the best, they were vey slow, I had to wait 20 minutes for 2 waters , a sprite and an apple juice! The food was not bad, but it wasn't great either, not for the price anyway.. And then when we got our Check she double charged me for the kids drinks, not that 4 extra dollars broke the bank, but I wasn't about to wait around another half hour for her to fix it, so I took it off her tip. Never going back though. read more

On our way to Diana's Bath, I had to have a Lobster Roll! Had to happen :) we yelped the category and Lobster Trap came up. So we started our journey and just as we pulled in, we immediately regretted our decision. It was 1pm and the parking lot was empty. Despite the place looking out of business we headed inside. From there on out the experience was fantastic. The service is friendly and made valuable recommendation, the chowder was on point. Two drinks and a lobster roll later, I had discovered the place to get lobster related dishes. Great place. read more

So not a fan of frozen seafood!!!! Wait was long to order, Price should be a little cheaper..

Were here on a family trip for the first time in New England. We found this restaurant from a Yelp review, and WOW was it great. The food is wonderful and Bill was quite entertaining the entire time. We felt like regulars the minute we set down. We will definitely be back if we're up this way again. read more

Found this place by chance and loved it! Ellen was our server and she was so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend!

M'eh. You can't honestly expect an amazing seafood restaurant in the White Mountains, can you? This one was OK but certainly not memorable. The service was weak (when we asked for a second round of bread & butter, they gave less than 1/2 of what the original basket contained) and the food was just average. I had the clam strips. I would get them again, but I've certainly had better down in Massachusetts and along the Maine coast. The place did have a NH-family-restaurant type atmosphere, which we always appreciate. It's also far enough off the tourist trail that a lot of locals eat here. read more

I don't understand what people are looking for when they don't give a good review to a place like this. I grew up along the ocean in New England, and the lobster here was as fresh and sweet as any I've had. In addition, the service was excellent, the owner was very nice, and the place was clean. What more can you want? read more

Great food and service!!! Awesome steamers, homemade bread, homemade clam chowder, fresh lobsters, can't beat the prices! read more

Lobster Trap - Great Lobsters!!!! - Seafood Near Me - North Conway, New Hampshire

Good place off the beaten path. We arrived about 6:30 on a Friday night. We opted for the "roll" options rather than larger lobster or clam dishes at "market price". Had an appetizer off the specials of the day menu(Arancini) which was a good 4 large portions with marinara for dipping. We sat in the bar side & was quieter & void of screaming children who were sitting in the large dining room. Luckily we finished up just as the large locals contingent started rolling in for what seemed like boisterous fun. read more
