I had take-out lobster rolls from Oyster Boy which were a little small but tasted good in July 2020. (Awful oyster fritters) No lobster roll on the current Oyster Boy Menu, just chilled lobster at Market Price https://oysterboy.ca/menus/
John & Sons were good in the past, maybe a little small. I haven’t visited in over 3 years- mostly due to the Pandemic. I used to be a regular. http://johnandsonsoysterhouse.com/
I haven’t tried Buster’s Sea Cove. $15.95 at Buster’s Sea Cove.
(1) @ Stock Bar ($27) near Yonge/Eglinton and it was good. Would order it again.
(2) @ Pink Sky ($35) near King/Spadina and it was not good. Hard pass.
We tried the lobster roll from Buster’s Sea Cove in the St. Lawrence Market. It was very good, with lots of lobster, a goodly amount of lemon, and not too much mayo, all on a Martin’s roll:
I’m heading to the East Coast (NB, PEI, NS) later in the summer, I guess I should try some. Any favourite spots? I hear Shediac NB is the lobster capital of the world?
I enjoyed trying Lobster Rolls and Lobster Sandwiches all over NS, inc Cape Breton. It’s been 11 years since my visit so any info I have is now out of date.
I’ve only spent 2 nights in Charlottetown, and had a lobster dinner rather than a roll at their Lobster Pound. Definitely try the mussels. I usually pass on mussels because they aren’t a favourite for me. The PEI mussels in PEI were better than any I’ve had anywhere in the world.
Zee Grill charges 33 bucks for a lobster roll with potato chips?!?!? I mean, it’s a good restaurant, but C’MON! How great does that sandwich have to be to charge dinner entree prices?
I like to go to Diana’s Oyster Bar for lunch occasionally. They serve more casual fare than their dinner menu then. It’s all good, but the lobster, crab and shrimp roll with clam chowder and fries for $22 is a delicious steal.
Thats how much they cost these days. I paid around $30 USD in Boston in 2018. They were $25-$30 USD in NYC in 2019. The APDC one cost over $40 in 2019 (large, best shared with someone, topped with foie).
The Oyster Boy lobster roll was around $24 in 2020, and it was small.
Rodney’s Lobster Roll kits were really expensive when they had them available last year. Closer to $200 for 4 people.
I had a very bad experience at Diana’s Oyster Bar recently. The kind that makes me wonder if I’ll ever go there again. The server, a long term employee, did just about everything wrong you can think of and a few you probably hadnt thought of. I will certainly be hesitant to recommend it.
It’s too bad. I’ve been going to Diana’s since they opened their doors. My spouse and I had our first date there. Its the perfect Ladies Night.
A great lazy afternoon hang.
Countless, countless memories.
Has anyone tried Market Street Catch? $19.50 is awfully cheap for a lobster roll. Most of the good places are charging $25 -$35 for a lobster roll in Toronto lately.
Oyster Mine has a $30 lobster roll. Located near Yonge & Davisville
