Small restaurant with limited seating. We walked here after exploring the indoor market area since we were craving lobster rolls Signature lobster roll: 4/5 solid lobster roll which I enjoyed and it came with chips too. Would come back for this if I was in the mood for lobster Clam chowder: 2/5 this wasn't necessarily bad but it tasted like chicken noodle soup and barely had any clam flavor. Came with some crackers read more

So glad we chose Lobster Man for our lunch spot while exploring Granville Market. The lobster rolls were really good with fresh chunks of lobster. Next to the restaurant side, you can even order fresh oysters (though you have to shuck it yourself). Definitely recommend this place for a meal if you're in Granville Market and not sure where to eat. read more

A tasty and fun meal spot on Granville island. It's definitely fresh and the service is fast/efficient. Ny biggest critique is the super hefty price. While I enjoyed my meal, I'm not sure I enjoyed it in tandem with the price. $27 after tax for a single lobster roll served with chips from an industrial bag from Costco is hard to justify in my opinion. read more

Lobster Man was actually one of the highlights of my Vancouver trip holy shit I love telling my friends about it. In Socal, $22 USD will getchu a half dozen oysters. Over here it's no exaggeration QUADRUPLE that value. For that price, we got a dozen Nitepearls and another dozen of oysters I forgot the name of. Both very delicious and sweet. I had asked the staff if they prepare it on the spot to which they told me they could lend the shucks and some towels. So not only did I get to eat the oysters but even learn how to shuck for the first time. My group took our batch to a nearby table overlooking some boats and had a cheap, interactive picnic right there on the dockside. Such a vibe, if you're a seafood lover this spot is a MUST TRY read more

This place has 2 sections. One section is more like a fresh fish market where you see a bunch of tanks with fresh oysters and lobsters. There, you can grab a tray and pick out your oysters/clams/lobsters and let them steam it for you to eat. Supposedly, when it's in market, you'll also see fresh Uni there. On the 2nd side is more of a fast food counter service where they have small seafood dishes and some sandwiches. They offer a lobster roll and crab roll. Since, we're from the east coast, we already know about lobster rolls, so we tried the dungenness crab roll. It was meaty and flavorful. We had 1 small shell but that's always expected in these type of rolls. The shrimp/prawn cocktail were nice and meaty (larger than your average shrimp cocktail). Few outdoor tables for seating, but people eat and then move on, so you may be able to find a table if you're patient. Overall solid seafood. read more

So it's been a few years since I had their Lobster Roll, so I thought I would give it a whirl. The first time, I had the Connecticut style (drenched in butter, with lemon, no mayo). This time I tried their Maine style, with mayo & celery. It was good, albeit a bit too heavy on the mayo for my tastes. The brioche bun was pretty good. The ridged potato chips were crispy (the first time I had it, it was stale). Overall, it was a nice decadent treat. You do get a decent amount of lobster, not super generous, but you don't feel ripped off. With taxes & a small tip, the sandwich came to about $32. I mean, is it the best? No, you can probably make it better at home if you wanted to get the lobster, steam it, crack & pick it, find a decent brioche bun (harder to find than it should be), etc. Which I just don't have the bandwidth for. So in terms of freshness and convenience, it's a nice treat. read more

Wow lots of fresh seafood. Prices were reasonable and they looked fresh. Oysters were different from the varieties in the states. Only reason why it was 3 instead of 4 stars was that they did not shuck for you. They sold the tool for your to open the Oysters by yourself. Service was quick. Ambiance was like a mini fish market, with fresh lobsters and Oysters. Will come again.when visiting Granville Island. read more

Overall: 4 stars Stopped for a weekend getaway and went to Granville Market on a Saturday morning. Beautiful weather - low 70's, sunshine and slight salty breeze. Wife and I checked a few eateries in the Public Market but a nice local suggested the Lobster Man for their roll. I'm so GLAD I took his advice! Ambiance: 4 stars A small eatery with outdoor seating with a few tables. Nothing special. Not a full sit down restaurant which is fine w us. Service: 4 Stars - polite and friendly. there two employees working the counter. Just order the items, pay for it and wait until they call your name (if busy) and grab a seat or look around the area for other public seating. Food: 4.75 Stars - SIGNATURE LOBSTER ROLL Atlantic lobster $24.99 CA I ordered only one lobster roll. Should have ordered two. The roll was a decent size, light, fluffy with a hint of the butter crunch bottom. The roll can hold the large amounts of lobster meat. The lobster itself was devine! Sweet with a hint of salty brine to it. The mayo was little bit too much for my liking but the diced celery had the right balance for the mixture. The meal automatically came with ruffle chips. They were crunch and crispy. Is it a Great Tool to scoop up any lobster that might come off your roll. Believe me, it will happen. LOL! There are other items fresh items you can order but their menu is limited. Definitely recommend the place. read more

Food: We tried both lobster roll options! The Connecticut roll is cold and mayo based and the Signature roll is warm and drenched in butter. The signature roll is was our favorite and absolutely delish!! Service: Our orders were taken quickly and our food came out just as fast. Ambiance: The only seating is outside. Which is fine for me. I enjoyed eating as people watching. read more

This place is tucked away in Granville island. I wanted to try a lobster roll while I was in Vancouver and this place didn't disappoint. As an American, I thought prices were reasonable. The lobster tasted really good and fresh. The lobster was a good amount but the bread could've been warmer. I did go about 10 minutes before they were going to close so maybe that was why it was kinda cold. I have no complaints other than that. Just a tip that the last lobster roll order is at 5:30 p.m. read more

Came here for a lobster roll while visiting Granville Island. This hole in the wall location makes great lobster and shrimp rolls at an incredible price point. I had the traditional and it was delicious. The buttery sweet bun was perfect as it encased the creamy lobster salad. The drink options are limited here but the service is fast. It is tiny inside and seating is extremely limited with only 3 small tables inside. We enjoyed our rolls although we did encounter some a couple of crunchy bites (lobster shells). read more

This review is based on the oysters which were AMAZING. They have a huge selection that are about $2/pc or approx $15/dozen. You have to shuck them yourself, but they can lend you towels and the shucking knives. We also were able to buy a cut lemon and a tiny Tabasco bottle. We walked over to some nearby outdoor picnic tables that overlooked boats in a nearby harbor. The weather was beautiful and we got to enjoy fresh oysters with a lovely view. We tried two types of oysters and also picked up a box of uni for about $30 cad (really great price for the amount that was in the box). Everything tasted delicious and fresh. If you know how to shucking oysters, I would highly recommend this over expensive oysters in a sit down restaurant. read more

Few outdoor seating but people just eat and move on to walk around the island, so if you go during non-peak hours/regular days it shouldn't be too hard to find a spot to eat it Lobster roll was super tender and it was a good portion size with chips! Overall solid seafood for decent price read more

Lobster Lovers Rejoice! If you enjoy a good lobster roll, look no further than Lobster Man inside the Vancouver. Granville Public Market. Tucked away on a side street this self serve venue draws a crowd, just look for the line of smiling faces! We had the Connecticut which is warm lobster with drawn butter on a buttery brioche bun. We also had the Signature which is cold, (my favorite) with lobster, mayo and celery, also on a buttery brioche bun. Unlike some establishments they don't skimp on the lobster, the portion is very generous and overflows the roll. No complaints here! They are served with crinkle cut kettle chips. There is not a lot of seating, but you can roam around the immediate area and sit down by the harbor on the grass or cement wall looking out at the boats and activity in the water. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Saw this on the way back to the public market and decided to try it out. Dungeness Crab Roll - comes with potato chips. We shared it. Fresh but really bland. There's a couple not too sturdy tables and chairs for you to dine at. read more

Visited the fish market and restaurant and really loved their service and Connecticut roll! The employee at the market was super helpful in explaining the difference between oyster varieties. I picked out 9 oysters and was given a basket, 2 towels, 2 shucking tools, & tobasco sauce. The employee explained that if I wanted lemon, the restaurant sold cut ones for $1. He also gave us shucking tips. While they do not have a lot of seating, when the weather is nice , standing around the area is fine. The Connecticut roll was outstanding!! It was perfectly seasoned, had a good amount of lobster, the roll was toasted but not too thick, and came with chips. read more

I was looking forward to eating a lobster roll from this location, because of all the wonderful reviews but my experience felt short. The service right off the bat wasn't good. The girl taking our order seemed like she just wanted to quickly order and get out of there. Then once our food was ready we couldn't find a place to sit which was ok because we eventually found a table we could sit it in close to the marina. I was so excited to eat my lobster but when I opened the box to grab it I was so disappointed in the size. I had never seen such a small lobster roll before. I thought that maybe the flavors would make up for the size, but sadly it didn't. The lobster tasted chewy and the flavors were just not there. Sadly I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

FOOD - Dungeness Crab Roll: Dungeness crab, mayo and celery in a Brioche bun. Decent amount of crab. Could have used a little bit more flavor. The homemade chips were good. 3.5/5 SERVICE: Fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: For the price and flavor, I probably won't come back. It wasn't bad but there's so many places to try in Granville. read more

Hefty price for a tiny lobster roll. I guess you are paying for the quality. Fresh and tasty but not worth $25 in my opinion. Came with some chips on the side. The lobster tasted fresh and what you would except a typical lobster roll would taste like. There was no seating available inside (it's a take out counter) they offer little seating outside on the patio. The service was quick as it looks like it was pre made and assembled on the spot, the wait was less than 5 minutes. The quality was there but the portion seemed small for us for the price. read more

This place only has outdoor seating and it's a casual picnic table kind of situation! The order counter is right next to their fish market so it feels very much like a takeout spot. I ended up taking my food to eat inside of Granville market. The Connecticut roll was good-- I kind of wish they used a different type of bread as the roll was soft (kind of like hot dog bread), but the lobster was a decent amount and tasted fresh and lightly seasoned. read more

I've never found a more affordable Lobster Roll! Me and my friends all got the Connecticut Lobster Roll as we all preferred the warm buttered lobster over the cold version. The bun was nicely buttered and toasted and they were very generous with the amount of lobster in each bite! I do wish it came with french fries instead of potato chips but that was just extra anyways. I'm not sure if you can tell from photos but I had gotten the very bottom portion of the bag of chips so I had a bunch of tiny crumbs that were hard to eat so I didn't end up finishing my chips which were just the basic salted plain potato chips. My friends didn't care for the piece of lettuce it came with since we were used to lobster rolls without it but I personally always appreciate some veggies in a meal. Service was super quick! We ordered and paid and it got assembled immediately. The spot was very close to the public market so we grabbed our Rolls and walked over to eat them by the water for a nice view. read more

Why 3 stars? Because it was nice to have this option at Granville Island Market. --- --- --- Knowing that we were going to end up at Granville Island Market on our bike tour, I did some research ahead of time to see what might be the best place to grab lunch. Nothing really jumped out as an absolute *must*, but I am always down for a lobster roll, so The Lobster Man was my destination of choice. Was it the best lobster roll I've had? No, and it wasn't even close, to be honest. But at a market that seems to be more about quantity than quality, I was happy to find a lobster roll. It certainly wasn't bad, but probably more like 3.5 stars. We also ordered clam chowder, which was tomato based, and we didn't love. read more

We really enjoyed the Signature Lobster Roll at Lobster Man. Huge portions of lobster meat complimented with a sweet brioche roll. I read some reviews that their sandwiches lacked seasoning, but we liked that the lobster flavor came through accompanied by the light mayo and celery. There is limited outdoor seating so prepare to walk elsewhere if you want to sit (avoid the dock area, the seagulls are super aggressive). read more

Omg we loveeeee The Lobster Man every time we come to the Granville Island! They have the best and reasonably priced lobster rolls here. Our favs are their #1 Signature Lobster Roll ($24.99 CAD) and the #2 Connecticut Lobster Roll ($25.99 CAD). We would ask them to cut the lobster roll in halves for us so we can each try both lobster rolls that way. Each lobster roll also comes with some chips and a piece of lemon. I always get their red Manhattan Clam Chowder ($7.99 CAD) as a side too because it has a lot of clams in the chowder. They also have a live shellfish section next door where you can purchase lobsters, clams and oysters at a very reasonable price. We bought some oysters (on sale) to shuck ourselves since they will not shuck oysters on site for you, but they will lend you a shucker tool if you ask them nicely. These oysters are so fresh and delicious! We ended up going back 3X just to buy more oysters to shuck. read more

Started having a craving for lobster yesterday. I grew up eating lobster in my family, boiled lobster. I ordered (via Uber Eats) the 1.5 lbs Atlantic lobster. I ate the claws first and was happy the meat was succulent and didn't stick to the shell. I was so happy they left the caparace intact so the tomalley was still inside. I've been disappointed ordering lobster at restaurants when they removed either the tomalley (from the male) or the roe (from the female). They were always a delicacy in my family. My lobster was cooked perfectly because I was able to pull tail from the shell (after some wiggling first to loosen it) intact. If it was overcooked, the meat would have stuck to the shell and I would have had to use scissors to cut the shell open. I've ordered lobster rolls from this place in the past and have been happy. This was no exception. Next time I have another lobster craving I will be ordering from this place again! read more

Enjoyed lunch here after wandering through the Granville Island Market during our first full day in Vancouver. We were greeted right away and our food prepared quickly. I got the signature lobster roll--cold with mayo and celery--and my honey got the Connecticut--warm with butter and lemon. Both are served on a lightly buttered and toasted brioche bun and with a side of chips. Both sandwiches were delicious. They also offer a crab roll and shrimp roll, as well as soup. Plus a couple seasonal specials. So a small yet mighty menu. There are a few tables out front under a pop-up and so we sat, relaxed, and enjoyed our sandwiches, which was a nice mid-day break before continuing our Vancouver adventure. read more

Living in Houston, it's not often we get to try some fresh and locally sourced lobster rolls so this was a must-visit for us on our very first trip to Vancouver! Granville Island was already a peach of an experience but Lobster Man put a bow on our experience. The Connecticut roll was warm and buttery while the signature roll was creamy and filled with chunks of lobster. The only downside was that we didn't get to try the bisque (I believe it was out of season) and even the clam chowder wasn't ready when we ordered (it was like 2PM..?) and we were hoping that would complete our meal. All in all, we came and got what we wanted most and it definitely delivered. The prices were a bit higher than expected but I'm not going to complain too much about price after eating 2 delicious lobster rolls that were probably caught hours before. This is a must try if visiting Vancouver! read more

We had looked forward to trying the place during our visit to Vancouver but we're unfortunately disappointed. We probably should have ordered the lobster roll but we opted for the dungeness crab roll instead - it was mostly mayonnaise, which usually isn't a bad thing since we love mayo but there was also a slight "tuna" flavor to the whole mixture. Weird and not something we would ever order again - especially for $27. Unfortunate disappointing experience in a town full of great dining options. read more

Delicious lobster roll tucked away in Granville island! Loved our lunch there, tried more than one style all were great

Came here since we were in the area visiting the island. Really craving a lobster roll, so I decided to grab one here. Ended up getting the signature lobster roll. For the price, I would've expected more lobster in the roll. I wanted to give it a full 5 stars but I couldn't because of that. I ended up with half of the bread left and no lobster meat in it. The value wasn't really there for me. They also included a few chips in there, in which I could've counted with all my fingers how many were there read more
