Lobster Shack Lobster Shack focuses on bringing the New England lobster experience to the San Francisco Bay Area.. They opened a location in Portola Valley in the middle of 2011. We noticed a change of ownership banner. Their Redwood City location closed. Lobster Shack flies in the lobsters from the East Coast several times a week. Our last visit was in Fall 2023 where we dined outside. Lobster Shack has much more than lobster on the menu, seafood appetizers, BBQ, sandwiches, burgers, and seafood platters. They have BBQ’s all the time now. Decor, Vibe – Lobster Shack has fun decor with birch picnic tables a la New England with bouys, fishing nets. During lunch, workers from nearby were eating. Outdoor seating for warmer days. Lobster Shack Menu You order at the counter, receive a number, and wait for your order at a table. Lobster Shack Image Picture Set Lobster Shack Picks: Maine Lobster Roll The Naked Lobster Roll ($30 Market price) was lobster meat on an excellent toasted roll with sides of fries, mayo, cole slaw, and drawn butter. It has massive amounts of tender but cold lobster on their specially baked nicely toasted and buttered buns. Perfect lobster flavor. […]

Salsa Bar Decor, Vibe – Nice modern decor inside with lots of stylish exposed wood and a small bar area. Patio seating outside with umbrellas. Mostly locals getting a quick lunch. Couple Hispanics. Menu Pictures (Click to zoom into any picture) Menu Website Menu Chips and Salsa Bar Picks: None OK: Amigo Taco ($1.95) Al Pastor meat, cilantro, onions & salsa roja was average. The meat did not have a lot of seasoning flavor. The taco was also too spicy. Fajita Quesadilla Chicken ($8.95) fajitas with guacamole, crema chipotle & salsa mexicana was a huge one. Average ingredient quality, with the chicken flavor not coming through. The sour cream dominated the flavor. Pans: Carnitas Norteñas ($10.95) Jalisco-style braised pork carnitas, refried beans, mexican rice, guacamole, crema mexicana, salsa & corn tortillas was a pretty health sized plate full of food. The quality of the meat was fair at best, with it being a little over saturated. Tortiallias were nothing to write home about. Amigos Grill took about 10 minutes to deliver our food. The food is priced at […]
