Reviews for Old Port Lobster Shack in Redwood City, CA
Ordering took a while due to two things: a little language barrier (I wish I knew how to speak Spanish) and the tablet system is... organized in a way that's confusing for someone whose second or third language is English. I got the pulled pork sandwich platewith Mac n cheese and onion rings. The pulled pork sandwich comes with pickled pickles and onion - the brine is different frommost pickles I get from restaurants - slightly sweet yet tangy. Tastes house made, which i love. It doesn't come dripping insauce but the meat is VERY moist. I'd say perfectly cooked - even the charred parts were tender! I'm the type of gal that likessauce mixed into her pulled pork but the line was moving so slowly, I didn't feel like waiting in it to ask for some. There'sgreen & red Tabasco on the table so it worked out fine. The Mac n cheese portion was small (4oz. portion cup) but tasty. onionrings were large - crispy on the outside while the onion was hot and moist. I love that the onion rings came with ranch - in myexperience, it's rare but nice when servers give you sauce without you having to ask. I tried my fiance's bbq sauce. He triedmy ranch. We agreed on both being great house made sauces (we're "sauce people"). Prices were decent, and I got to take half mysandwich home, it had a lot of meat. Because of that, i don't mind how small the Mac n cheese was. And the fact that it isn'tslathered in sauce means my dog gets to enjoy some when I get back home. Read more
Very nice seafood restaurant. The style is street food served with passion. We came for lunch and got a table on the outside. We... had salmon burger, seafood Louie salad, white wine, and a beer. Everything was very nice. Will be back! Read more
Really good chowder bread bowls and easy, picnic style environment. Lobster rolls and salads are good, but really pricey without... much flair. I love lobster, but it's still hard to spend that kind of money for lunch. It's fresh and delicious but simple. Read more
I got a lobster roll that seemed like sandwich that sandwich look make from home. Very disappointed and when you look at the... lobster tank inside is disgusting. Very dirty water. Very Very expensive for what you get. The only positive was the service. Our waitress/ cashier was wonderful. She had no help. Read more
It was our first time visiting this restaurant. We will definitely return. It's our new favorite restaurant. I love Lobster.... This restaurant definitely did not disappoint. I highly recommend eating here. We got the double Lobster Rolls with fries, friedcalamari and fried scallops with fries and cole slaw. We also ordered 1 mug of clam chowder and 1 mug of Lobster Bisque and aside of Mac n Cheese. Last but not least, we ordered a whole Lobster to go. You may not beleive me, but we loved all of it! Itwas all finger licking good! You must come and check them out. They also have BBQ which we did not try, but the smell wasdelicious. Read more
Service is quite good and fast. The lobster roll was good. The fish and chips was quite good. The price was a little expensive... for the amount and quality of food. Read more
Hands down the best !!! The Lobster Roll and Clam Chowder is incredibly AWESOME!!! I travel for a living and experience dining... out up and down the west coast. After wasting good money eating through out the San Francisco bay area the Old Port LobsterShack earns my Business every other week. I live in Scottsdale and go outta my way to enjoy the BEST SEAFOOD IN THE BAY!!! Read more
First off, I've been coming here for a long time. Decent but very expensive. The prices here have kept going up and up and... up. Portions get smaller and smaller and smaller. There's no reason a 2 piece fish and chip should cost $22 before any tax andtip (as of this date). By the time you read it, it might be $28 for the same thing (just smaller). To clarify, it used to be2 big pieces of fish. Now what you get are smaller chunks maybe 3 or 4 to make up the difference. It is now more breading thanit used to be. Very disappointed in this. This is the last time I'm coming here. The prices have gone full on ridiculous. Read more
