Welcome to the Lobster Trap

The Lobster Trap receives regular shipments of cold water lobsters flown in fresh and live from Nova Scotia. Delicious, fresh lobster has been a Lobster Trap specialty for over 40 years. So often, what you remember as being great years ago, doesn't seem as wonderful today. However, the Lobster Trap’s wonderful, fresh, sweet, lobster that you may remember in the past, will be every bit as great today. We recommend that you order the complete lobster dinner. This includes either the Lobster Trap’s clam chowder or their famous lobster bisque, as well as potatoes or salad and a non-alcoholic beverage. The Lobster Trap has a friendly, casual atmosphere, reminiscent of the great seafood houses of the past.

Best Lobsters in town!Here you will find the most delicious lobsters in town. The restaurant has new management and they try to make each visitor happy. I was with my family here, and we are very satisfied. Our children had also very yammy dishes. Everything is very fresh and the service is very quick and friendly. In the evening a little crowded, so maybe to book your table in advance is not a bad idea... Thank You LobsterTrap!

I'm not a lobster fisherman nor a commodities economist when it comes to seafood but when I'm used to lobster prices at Chinese restaurants, this place I find is a bit on the pricier side. That said, each of the times I've gone, they've delivered a perfectly cooked lobster to my table.The atmosphere and decor is similar to "mom & pop" seafood places found in the Atlantic so don't expect anything high-end. It's more about character. Sadly, with my most recent visit, there were no place mats on the table with a map of the Atlantic or interesting lobster facts. More importantly, I did not get a bib to protect my shirt when I ate my lobster. The price of the dishes haven't changed in over a year so I guess by removing some of the frills, they were able to prevent raising the menu prices.The service was friendly but they only had one waitress for the entire place. I guess because it was a Tuesday, they weren't expecting it to be a busy night. We did get our food hot out of the kitchen so even though we didn't get too much attention during the course of our visit, they met the expectations when it came to the kitchen-to-table timing.They tend to participate in the group deal sites so that could be why they were busy on the Tuesday. Also, it's with these group deal sites that I would recommend you giving them a try (if you haven't already).

I love lobsterLobster was great. That is why you go. Forget the ambiance-there is none! The escargot in garlic butter sauce are the best I have had. The lobster with buttered breadcrumbs is scrumptious. Used to be better though when the butter was served with a flame under it so that it was kept warm. Ask for fries crispy and garlic bread not overdone.

Great food, service and quality dining all in one.My Lobster Trap experience was excellent. I was blowin away by the great quality of the food at such an affordable price. I have been looking for a seafood diner for awhile now and I'm glad to have found Lobster Trap. The service was prompt and the servers were very friendly i would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

looking for the original good food that you expect from the Lobster TrapIf you were disappointed with your last dining experience at the Lobster Trap on Avenue Rd. Here is some great news, Seth the great chief and the original owner Oto have just opened at their new location 8099 Weston Rd. at Hwy #7, my wife and I have been enjoying the fine food expected at the Lobster Trap for 40 years until the new owner took over, who by the way is very rude..Our last experience was a disaster.. Yes You can now enjoy the great taste and same menu at the new Lobster Trap location. We went last week and was so thrilled to have that great seafood experience that we came to enjoy many years ago...

I am not a huge lobster fan by any means, but upon my first visit to Canada from the United States, my co-workers and I were taken to this lovely gem! The food was fresh and worth the extra spend. I particularly loved the guitarist in the room over. He was very spunky and even played my request of "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John! Great food and live entertainment? I'd say I definitely got a bang for my buck!

My first experience with lobster was circa Hanukkah 1993. The irony of my family going out for un-kosher lobster on a Jewish holiday is certainly not lost on me. I had my brand new Molly doll from American Girl sitting next to me, and I, once known as the Princess of Picky asked to try a bite of my parents lobster.The ended up having to order me my own.And the rest is history. Although we had a mid-nineties flirtation with Red Lobster (the cheddar biscuits still haunt me) Lobster Trap is my family's go to for a lobster feast.As others have mentioned, all lobster dinners (the only dinners with which I have any familiarity) start with the choice of starter and the amazing garlic bread. For the reviewer who called the garlic bread too buttery, there is NO. SUCH. THING.The salad is fine, the chowder is good, but everyone knows you need to go for a big creamy bowl of lobster bisque. So good, I think I need to get a fix soon.The main event is always good, obviously certain times of year are going to yield fresher results but I've never had an issue with less than delicious lobster. Is it as fresh as at a lobster pound in the Maritimes or New England? Nope. But a trip to the trap is definitely cheaper than a plane ticket!

My parents came here on a date in the 70s and I bet those are the same fishing nets and conches that made their night as it did mine.I've been here numerous times. Once I even came for a week day lunch but noticed they were closed. There were boxes and boxes of fresh flown in lobsters from the East Coast just sitting there by the door. I guess I am the only cold hearted customer who would even think to pick up a box and run to the closest boiling salted pot.I usually come with my boyfriend he gets the broiled 2 lb lobster dinner and I the garlic prawns. Add to that 2 Lobster Bisques, coconut shrimp, and sometimes another Lobster Bisque. I capitalize the 'Lobster Bisque' because it deserves to be addressed as so.Very delicious and the perfect amount of saltiness in the bisque. And actual chunks of lobster. Comes served hot with a smile no matter how busy they get.Note: this is known to be a saltier soup so if you are opposed to salt.... I suggest you order something elseThe coconut shrimp are medium sized and delicious but obviously they ordered it frozen and already prepped. Did I mention the garlic bread? It's tough to control yourself when you first get there on an empty stomach. If you can't fight the extra butter and garlic then just go ahead and cram it in there. You can always doggy bag. If you order a second order of bread and not eat it, you can include that in your bag as well!I am not a fiend of lobster like some but I do eat it. I've tried my bf's meal and the lobster is done to perfection. Still full of juice with that lobster brine flavour still intact. Great portion as well. Some times he has to take it home. I think that's why he orders the larger lobsters on the occasion. So smart is he.We contemplated ordering the 5 pounder but really... that is just a show piece right? Wouldn't that make the lobster almost 30 years old? He should be honoured instead as a pet at the Lobster Trap. Have him in a large aquarium at the front complete with a plastic diving bell and soothing bubbles. Afterall, he lived for so long and never got caught!The giant garlic prawns have never sold me short. They are juicy and broiled and just enough of them. It's almost like eating 10 little lobsters! Don't quote me on the 10... that was just a guess from the last time I was there.Service is always friendly and they are rammed on Saturdays. Worth the visit for sitting in a theme restaurant that never really mean to be a themed restaurant = authenticity.

The best birthday dinner ever!I've been going to the Lobster Trap since I was 10 - it was the first place I ever ate lobster. The decor hasn't changed and the bathrooms are clean but really old but the food is never anything less than FABULOUS!!! I went for my 40th birthday with my husband. Great friendly service, everything arrived fresh, hot and perfectly spread out (no one brought the salad while we were still eating the soup) The lobsters are the best I've ever tasted outside of fresh caught in PEI. GEt the dinner and have the chowder - loaded with clams. You won't be disappointed here if you go for the food and not the looks.

This is my favorite restaurant in the city. The best place for steamed lobster. If you expect high end, modern, fancy, trendy ambiance, this place isnt for you. The restaurant is a mom and pop style type place that tries to give the feel of being at a wharf. They display the lobsters in this big gigantic aquarium at the entrance of the restaurant.If you want good food and down to earth wait straff and low key restaurant, this is the place to go.I always order the 1lb and a quarter lobster. It comes with a side and they bring you garlic bread. The lobster is very fresh and price is reasonable (around $35-$40 if you don't order drinks or anything else). The waitstaff doesn't try to upsell you on apetizers, wine, or dessert.I have had lobster at Red Lobster and it isn't comparable. I have also had lobster in Maine and cooked the Lobster fresh from T&T supermarket and by comparison, this place is very good. You won't be disappointed.Service is ok but they are not most attentive when it gets busy. The place gets full very quickly every time I have been there. Restaurants that are not good do not usually get full and have low food turnover so you never know if what you are getting is fresh. This is a place that is always full and that people keep going back to. I highly recommend it!!
