Jack's Lobster Shack

It's hard to find a crab shack in North Jersey let alone a good one. Up until I stumbled across this place, the only places to go was either Red Lobster, Joe's Crab shack, or some random seafood restaurant, none of which are worth my time or effort to write a review on. Jack's Lobster Shack however was a breath of fresh air. I finally found a place where I can get some crab legs, lobster, and all other types of seafood, fried or otherwise. The food was really good, a bit pricey, but you're going to pay if you want King crab legs no matter where you are, but on a good note this is a BYOB. BONUS!!! Give it a shot, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I wasn't...

This is probably my favorite place to go in New Jersey when I am craving Lobster. I have come here many times. My first time here, I ordered a full steamed Lobster to myself. For the most part, all times I have had lobster before, I have only eaten the tail and claws, as I've never known how to fully eat a whole lobster. The placemat on the tray was an illustrated step-by-step guide on how to eat a whole lobster from start to finish. All my other times, for the most part, I've been coming here to satisfy my cravings for Lobster Rolls. They serve both the Maine (Cold Mayo) and Connecticut (Warm Butter) style of preparing Lobster Rolls. I usually cannot decide between them, because I like both, so I usually order one of each. I typically order a cup or bowl of New England Clam Chowder and fried calamari to go with it.

This place is an ideal option for any seafood lover. The food quality is impeccable and the service is superb; it was worth every penny. A little bit difficult to find parking if you are heading down during rush hour but the municipal lot at the corner is always an option. I will definitely be back!

I've visited this place twice. First time I had a lobster roll and recently I had the lobster tacos (these were the bomb). The staff, both times, has not been as friendly or welcoming. While street parking is available, there's limited spaces. There's a metered lot, but don't know how much it is. While I truly enjoyed my lobster tacos (2 per order), they are mad expensive $22 without a drink. There's plenty of lobster meat and the seasoning is very complementary to the lobster (for those who cannot take lobster meat alone). The order comes with chips, very delicious, though I'm not sure if they are home made style. The rating breakdown: 3 stars = 5 stars for food 2 stars off = expensive eatery. I would not recommend this place for a date with someone one is casually dating. But if with serious relationship, then drop the money ;-)

Great lobster bisque & lobster rolls. We ordered one of each. I liked the cold better, hubbie liked the warm with butter. Will definitely go back but parking is tough.
