Da Lobsta - River North

The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was helpful and fun. I only have two days here in Chicago and may have lunch here for both! I tried the half pound lobster roll and a cup of the soup of the day (nicely spiced corn and shrimp chowder). The hush puppies were the best, most fluffy, I have had since my grandmother was alive!

Excellent food! The bread on the lobster roll was flaky and buttery. I got the hush puppies and thought the flavor and texture went well with the lobster. I’d say my only complaints are price and portion size. For $17 for a lobster roll, I expected more lobster. They should either lower the price or add more meat to the roll.

Very good lobster roll, but gosh so pricey. $19 for small lobster roll and $29 for large Both equally tasty but a lot of money for lunch around where I work. I wish they would offer like a happy hour or a discount if you work in the area. I love lobster rolls but it will have to be something I have here, and there due to the price. The location is very clean and the staff is really nice.

Counter service, straight forward menu and very friendly service. I've had a lot of lobster rolls from a lot of places and I can say that this one is pretty good! Noteworthy - the lobster Bisque has no lobster meat, only lobster broth. Very fair pricing. This is my first time here. In the 20 minutes that I've spent here about a dozen food delivery people came and went. That tells me that it is popular with the eat at home/work people.

Love this place! It's great for a quick bite and the food is top quality. The staff are some of the nicest people in the industry. The menu is simple which is actually a nice feature as it allows them to focus on what they do best (lobster rolls!) and makes the ordering process easy. Be careful though, rolls do not come with anything except a small amount of coleslaw on the side & the total for food can add up very quickly!

The staff at this counter server restaurant is really engaged with their guests, and concerned that everyone have a great meal. That makes the place quite special. The lobster bisque was as good as any I’ve every had, a nice combination of fresh lobster flavors in a creamy base. My lobster grilled cheese was good, but I might have a lobster roll next time. The bread was perfectly grilled, but the cheese was quite mild and I’m not sure the lobster added that much. However the sriracha mayo that came with it had a marvelous herbal flavor and the combination was excellent. Those two items plus a fountain drink came to $27, so this is not cheap fast food. But they don’t scrimp on the lobster, and I would definitely go back.
