I was craving lobster and my husband brought me to this place. Great service, we got to meet the owner and had a pleasant conversation during our wait. The lobster bisque was delicious and thick, I really tried not to lick my bowl haha the sandwich had a very generous amount of lobster meat. Thank you, We will be back!

The lobster roll had good flavor, but the portion was small for $30. The lobster was placed on a slice of thick bread that was partially slit down the middle. So it looked like it was piled on, but the reality it was a lot smaller portion than it appeared. Portion of Cole slaw was small but tasty. Not a value for the money.

This tiny restaurant is, seriously, one of the best reasons to visit San Clemente.
Two words - 'shell-free Cioppino'. OH MY WORD, filled with seafood, shellfish, veggies, and spices. It was so delicious I almost wished that I had ordered a bowl instead of a cup. But I'm glad I did because then I had room for the Seafood Deviled Eggs. Three eggs, six halves each filled with a spiced standard yolk mixture and topped with lobster claw meat, flaked crab, or large salad shrimp - so good!
Dan, the owner, is as nice as can be. Genuine and kind. There are a few tables to enjoy the delicious food. Located in Old Downtown San Clemente, the Lobster Shack is definitely worth the drive if you're in Orange County, CA.
I ate half my meal at the restaurant and then drove to the beach to enjoy the rest with my Arnold Palmer. Awesome afternoon 😎

What a great place! Wow! The food was perfect. Exactly what I expected. Dan was so nice and accommodating . A plus for service! The lobster roll was amazing! So much meat! Got the lobster 🦞 mac n cheese too. But wow tried his custom 50/50 lobster bisque and chowder. You absolutely have to try it. So good.
BTW park in the old town san clemente . shops google shows it in the alley it isn’t. Its in the middle
Of the plaza on the beach side.

Best lobster sandwiches in town! My husband got the, “lobster grilled cheese,” and I got the “lobster roll with coleslaw and beans!” The bread was cooked to perfection while also having a nice crunch. And the lobster was tender and juicy while also being extremely fresh! We would definitely recommend and we will definitely be returning. The restaurant is located in a nice little strip mall type thing with other restaurants and shops! The area doesn’t look like much but it was INCREDIBLE!!!
