    This place is super fun. We came on a Saturday night and Jay Brown music and his wife were playing and it was so much fun. I had a salad with salmon, cooked perfectly, and my husband had seafood plate of some sort. We absolutely love their lobster rolls. The rest of the food was OK. It's not bad, but not an explosion. But really the atmosphere is really really cool and we really enjoy coming here after the beach. Gotta check it out, especially the lobster rolls.

    We really enjoy the outdoor bar, happy hour, live music, appetizers and cocktails. Our dine inside meals have been lacking but this is definitely a go to outdoor bar location.

    We had five of us for an early dinner and and were seated inside. Outside the bar was packed, live music is being played, but inside the dining area was about 20% filled. My first impression is that the action is gonna be all outside and the inside dining may be secondary. Since this was my sister's birthday celebration, I was hoping for a good experience. Our server was very nice, very accommodating, and checked up on us frequently. As for the food, it was a hit or miss situation. We ordered beverages and three were not alcoholic, but 2 ordered the very jumbo margaritas. I will have to say they were a big hit! For appetizers, we had the fish dip, the Monstah Poutine and the large shrimp cocktail. Of the three the "poutine" was the most successful. Good flavor and everybody enjoyed it. The fish dip was bland, but I have to say the plate was the nicest looking because it had a full complement of chopped red onion, diced tomatoes, an assortment of olives, sliced hot peppers, and I believe a couple of sliced pickles . They were the best part of that dish. The shrimp were very large, but unfortunately, they were a little overcooked and very chewy. Now for the entrées. Two of us had ordered the salmon. The salmon itself was a rather small piece that had for some reason a slathering of barbecue sauce on top. There was something called a "corn salsa" as a side that was pretty tasteless. The parsley potatoes were nothing special. One highlight was the Connecticut lobster roll. It was full of lobster and delicious. The birthday girl had the stuffed lobster and she seemed to enjoy every bit of it. My fried sea scallops were cooked perfectly, but the hush puppies were as hard as marbles. One other miss were the french fries, as they were unsalted and not very appetizing. Overall, it was a mild disappointment. Some things were so good and others just weren't. And I was so hopeful......

    Mediocre food. For a place that has lobster in their name I expected better. Ordered the shrimp and lobster fritters and there was indeed no lobster in the fritters let alone any shrimp. Basically just an overpriced hush puppy. So disappointing. The lobster bisque tasted like it's been sitting in plastic. Ordered the shrimp and lobster pasta and again, no lobster...what a joke

    The atmosphere at Monstah Lobstah is always fun. Live music and people in the dance floor. We went to grab a snack and I had the grouper nuggets. They tasted great. Not too breaded like some places. I don't recommend the mule. The ginger taste was minimal at best. Our waiter was flirty and did a great job.

    First time to visit and will not be the last. Excellent early bird specials so go early and save some penny's. Service was excellent and the place looks so much lighter and cleaned up. Ready for a return visit.

    This is newer to IRB. Enjoyed the lobster and the rum runners. Very relaxed environment. You can sit inside or out and they had live music!

    A great after dinner drinks with Cherie inside and Friday night karaoke . Happy Independence Day

    Baked oysters w/lobster (can't recall exact name)
    Debbie B.

    The outdoor space was great and so was the music. Unfortunately, the food was less than desirable. Both looked good, but the littlnecks were overcooked (rubbery) and The oysters mostly tasted like the breadcrumb topping. Not a repeat destination for us.

    Not that they need another glowing review, but I'll leave one nonetheless…read more I was hoping to get Shrimp n Grits but server said they didn't have that item. So I went with the Pork Chop and it was excellent. That's coming from someone that doesn't usually like pork chops. But this was so moist and not like those that are overdone. We also really enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and Mushroom Bisque even though it wasn't soup weather at all. Definitely make reservations no matter what day of the week. You may have a better chance at lunch without a ressie.

We ordered the grilled oysters and those were delicious. A couple little loaves of bread and olive oil with tasty herbs were brought with our appetizer and it was really wonderful and fresh. Both of us ordered a cup of the lobster bisque, but I didn't care for it as it tasted more like artificial crab than it did lobster. I sent it back and got the mixed salad. I ordered the swordfish entree and it was really wonderful. After dinner, hubby and I split a slice of key lime pie which was really good but not great. Service was awkward as our server was a little inattentive and it delayed our evening longer. So overall the food was really good (bad lobster bisque) but service was lacking. I'd try it again if we are in the area, as not every server is the same.

This place has that classic laid-back beach seafood vibe with fun, colorful decor and really great outdoor seating. It feels relaxed and local, exactly what you want after a day near the water. The food was great! The seafood gumbo is outstanding. Rich, tomato-forward with just the right amount of spice and packed with seafood, vegetables, and rice. It's comforting and flavorful without feeling heavy. We also had fresh oysters that were clean, briny, and exactly what you hope for when you're this close to the ocean. My favorite was the blackened seafood combo. Perfectly seasoned shrimp and scallops with a beautiful crust from the blackening spices. Great flavor, juicy inside, and served with crispy house chips and slaw that kept the plate balanced and fresh. And a shout out to our server Nikki, who was fantastic. She was on point the entire time, super friendly, and brought such great energy to the table. Service like that makes the whole experience even better. If you've driven past and hesitated because of the reviews like we did, give it a try. It's one of those unpretentious local seafood spots that quietly delivers really solid food. We'll definitely be back.
