Well let me first say that I am a seafood snob
because of my location. Seafood in general and
lobster above all. Being just minutes from some
of the very best places to get these things will
do that to you. All you can eat places can be
hit or miss. The one around here Custy's is good
and I am told the Nordic Lodge in RI is very good.
But the ones around WDW are somewhat iffy.
We went to the Boston Lobster Feast on I-Drive
and it was only a minute before we were out of
there! We went in, only one other party there
and were sitted. the forks and knives were dirty
and all were bent There was a lobster tank
with dark,dingy water with ONE little lobster in
the corner looking like he wanted to say "Kill me
Please" it was sad I thanked Omar and we
were gone! This was on one of our first trips and
we still laugh about it to this day
That same night we tried the other one on I-Drive,
Lighthouse Lobster Feast and it was on the down
side of ok, if nothing else filling.
Now wait!! There is another one that I have never
seen, its WildFlamesLobsterFeast.Com anybody know
anything about it? Its in the "Crossroads" area. Let
me know if anybody has tried it. I thank you kindly

I don't have much hope for this place, I
just came from thier site and there were
and are lots of mistakes! Lots of
misspelled words I know that its
a person/company designing the website
but I would think that they would have
some interest in making sure of its content.
Of well, let me know if you have been there.

[woohoo]

I have only heard of custy's near the casino- otherwise I have never been to one.

We ate at the Boston Lobster Feast once. Once! It was pretty bad. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place either, but if I were nearby, I'd drop in for a look.

We have eaten at Boston Lobster at Sand Lake and OBT by Florida Mall, that one is not bad.
We have also tried Angels and Capt Nemos, and didn't like them much.

Franco, can't help you with the FL locations, but I can tell you that the Nordic Lodge in Charlestown RI is very good. It is in the middle of no where, but well worth it.

[E&B's Mom]

No offense meant to anyone outside New England, but Franco - you're a little older than me (just by a few days) - haven't you figured out it's just not worth trying??? Don't do the seafood!!!

[bosoxx65]

Aye...

Seafood outside of the east coast is like going to Red Lobster. Bleh.

I'm not much of a seafood person. I'm allergic to Lobster so i'm not much of a help looking for good Lobster Bib dining <g>

A few years back, the family all went to Disney and we got a rental car. We ate at a lot of places on the strip outside of Disney. Checkers, Olive Garden, Black Angus, Friendy's... that kind of stuff. On our last day Sandy's father was craving for an All You Can gorge yourself Lobster feast. Well, we found one and boy was it a big mistake. The poor old man and half the family was sick all the way back to NY the next day. Me however laid low and never touched the Lobster or any of the other seafood faire.

To this day i will always bow to the lousy mac 'n cheese, rubber pizza and chicken nuggets. I lived and was happy to do so.

The best place for Lobster I have found is the Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Worth the trip!!!

We ate at Angel's one time, just outside the gate on 192, and it wasn't that bad. DH had been wanting to try one of these places and I'd heard bad things about Boston Lobster so we gave Angel's a shot. Like I said, it was okay, but I'd much rather be eating at a Disney restaurant!!

Franco, a smart Quincy boy like you should know better.

Didn't you try the twin lobster tails at Cap'n Jack's? Was it good?

I think that if you REALLY want decent lobster in Florida, you'll have to put out some cash.

[Franco54]

OK people, lets not panic I was just
asking about that third restaurant that I
had not seen before. I will admit that Florida
and lobster just don't go together, that is it.
Maggie, if you don't do any seafood down
there how are you going to have that great
red snapper at Emeril's? Or his shrimp appetizer?
Or the excellent Asian Bouillabaisse and the
mussels at the Tchoup Chop? Salmon at
Artist Point. There is lots of excellent seafood
food down there. I don't think I said anything
good about those All You Can Eat places in
my post. And from where I sit up here in Quincy
there are many places that do awesome lobster
dishes. Maine being IMHO a generic term lobster
wise meaning the whole "northern coast" produce
quality lobster. And yes dear girl I am a day or
two older than you!

[E&B's Mom]

OK - I stand corrected. I do admit I have done some seafood dishes at Emerils - last time I had the Clay Pot which I think was a seafood/rice dish with various types of seafood. But, you can NOT get good lobster outside New England!!! I agree Quincy probably has some pretty good places, as do many in my area, but not ouside New England. I'm not saying that Maine is absolutley the only place to get Lobster, but I just had such a fantastic experience in Cape Elizabeth - literally a shack on the cliffs/ocean with a view of 3 lighthouses. Just an amazing experience overall. If you get a chance to go to the area, it's worth trying just for the ambiance!

When Shaw's has sales on lobster over the summer, I'll take DW and the DK's to my folks in Quincy. I'll cook up the lobster fresh, make some home-style fries and take a dip in the pool.

YUP. Great lobster places in Quincy!!

[Franco54]

OK so its settled, Maggie, Matt we are
off to the Boston Lobster Feast in Florida!
Maggie your picking up the check!!!
