    Make a reservation for sure. The entire group must be present to be seated, so if coming across the bridge, allow extra time if it is rush hour. Once seated, the service is excellent and the food very good. This restaurant attracts a huge crowd. Chairs to wait are located outside along with outdoor dining, which is somewhat of a tight squeeze if someone is trying to walk through. It is located in a strip shopping center and may take awhile to find a parking spot, or expect to walk a little. Nice inside atmosphere and beautiful decor.

    We had a party of 13 and it was absolutely the best time, food, and service. We started with two Seafood Towers for 4-6 and they were wiped out. The oysters, clams, jumbo shrimp, snow Crab legs, and 2 lobsters each were on ice and perfect! Our entrees came out perfectly timed. Our desserts were perfect and not one drink was empty for the entire table. The service is second to none. Melissa was our server and she's one of the best waitresses we've ever had. With 13 people, I am astonished how she held it all in her own. It was my first time and I am sold on how awesome it is! You will not be sorry!

    Crystal owners daughter was our server and was very happy fun and sweet. Nicole manager helps us get a low table instead of a high top. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. We ordered the surf and turf. It was AMAZING. My steak was cooked to perfection and the Lobster was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you try this fantastic restaurant.

    Local Seafood market and restaurant. Lots of choices. Food was fresh and flavorful. Restaurant was busy, but our server did a great job checking on our table and keeping up with drink refills. Food is made to order so don’t be in a hurry. Depending on what you order, there is a wait, but worth it! Some of the favorites were the fresh oysters, lobster rolls, fish and chips & clam chowder. Definitely recommend a reservation. Overall a great place for some good seafood. Other options too besides seafood….

    Excellent food. The seafood tower is to die for. All 5 of us enjoyed it. I had the sea bass with macadamia nut coconut crust. The sea bass was cooked to perfection. I got the potato medley and the vegetable medley as my side. I do not know how they prepared the potatoes, but they where the best I’ve ever had and I’m 65 yrs old.

    My wife and I were both impressed by this place. It's a fresh seafood market, and a restaurant where everything is made fresh. My wife got the grouper fried in a beer batter crust with zucchini and squash, and I got grouper broiled, blackened, and scampi style. Both our meals were the best grouper we've ever had! We finished with key lime pie. That was great, too! We look forward to coming back again soon.

    We were out of town visitors with a recommendation to get local fish here from their market. Friendly staff with good advice. Great selection of both local and imported fresh fish. Found it somewhat odd that there are giant screens showing the news while you are shopping or eating. It would be quite difficult to enjoy a nice dinner with friends or a special someone with news about the depressing reality of the world showing in the big screen above you.

    An exceptional experience here! Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and quick. I enjoyed their selection of tap beers! Every meal our family enjoyed was praised. The King Crab Mac n Cheese had great flavor. The Mahi Mahj tacos tasted fresh. The salmon sandwich was cooked to perfection and delicious.

    Everything I have had at the Lady Lobster has been exceptional. Good ambience and service, gigantic menu, and all the food is high quality, fresh and well-prepared. The fries and the sausage could maybe be better but were still good. Most of the food is a 6/5, plus they have happy hour on weekends. We had the lobster roll (hot), lobster bake and the fried scallops.

    The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. Besides this tower of seafood, we ordered more oysters, a giant lobster tail and Macadamia Coconut Snapper. It was wonderful food. Plus, we got a complimentary birthday dessert, Salted Carmel cheese cake. Yummy.

    Lobster Lady does not disappoint. I was in FL visiting my buddy who always starts with the giant seafood tower and insists we come here and do this every time. We do. Saw the biggest lobster of my life in one of their tanks. Outdoor seating but on a sidewalk - inside has a great ambience.

    The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful, but the attention is the problem. The waitress was friendly but there was a woman who seemed to be the manager or the owner (blonde with short hair) who was very rude, almost racist, because she was only rude to me and my friend I must say that there are not many Latinos like me.

    You know when you have to wait 45 minutes plus for a seat and see a bustling crowd outside that you’ve found a quality place. I wasn’t quite prepared for the experience both atmospherically and culinary. First things first, it was LOUD! Since all of Cape Coral and half the population of Fort Myers seemed to be there, I felt like I had to tell to talk to the rest of my party. Not sure if this is always the case. There was a live singer so I guess that lends itself to the experience. Either way, call ahead! 👏 Our waitress was on her A-game, making sure my party was very well taken care of. Service itself wasn’t the speediest, but with the volume of people in the restaurant I can understand why that was the case. As for the food itself, I’m sitting here looking at my calendar wondering when I’ll be able to go again! Every meal was an absolute treat. I wish I had two stomachs to eat more! I wonder about the dessert here but I fully-acknowledge that I’ll never be able to eat it with so many sumptuous, savory options to eat before getting to the sweet stuff. I wouldn’t say the dining is “high end”, but I’d say it could be a once-a-month sort of splurge. It’ll be worth every penny! PS You can buy fresh seafood too! My family left with two bags full of middlenecks – very reasonable for the volume – so we could make a clam boil later that week. I guess if we were feeling lazy, this store also does that meal too though.

    Went for my birthday dinner. We were a little disappointed as it was so packed and we were told it was going to be a long wait. We decided to get a seat at the bar and so glad we did. The girls at the bar were wonderful and took such good care of us. The food was amazing. You are going to have to see it snow behind the bar. It was so fun. It was a great birthday celebration.

    This place was recommended by a local resident while we were here on vacation. So glad we came here. We had great service and got seated quickly with our party of 7. The gluten free items were clearly marked on their regular menu. Very excited to see that. Appreciate restaurants making accommodations so it clarifies they are aware of food allergies. The salmon and asparagus was delicious!! We will hopefully come back next time we’re in town.

    From the delicious bread to the clam chowder and the New England Sampler platter Nick did a great job! We’ll be back ! Parking was limited. Restaurant was noisy. Food was wonderful!

  • 5/5 LV V. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend and I went for a weekday lunch and had the best time! We ordered the shrimp cobb salad which was super yummy and filling. We also had a smoked old fashion which was hands down one of the best old fashions I’ve ever had! The service was fast and friendly which made the whole experience wonderful. I highly recommend!

    The main food was great, but the spinach was tasteless, and it would have been nice to be able to get a baked potato. They did have shoestring fries but the were coated, yuck. Overall had a great experience. 👍

  • 5/5 Amanda R. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous food and our waitress Mandy was AMAZING. My only complaint is we had to wait over an hour to get in and were told that they would text when a table was ready, when we received no text after the hour, we walked in and they said we were listed as a no-show. We showed that we never received anything and a manager helped us to get a table.

  • 5/5 Joe D. 10 months ago on Google
    Love this place, it literally has the best seafood. Prices here are very cheap and affordable, their service was also very good. I would definately recommend to anyone who loves seafood or just want to go out to eat.

  • 5/5 Maryanne K. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience, Brian and Casey were great bartender’s. The anticipated your needs and took care of everything. I’ve been wanting King Crab legs for my birthday dinner. They were perfectly cooked. The lobster bites were till juicy even though they were fried, the spicy sauce that comes with it was delish!!! First time trying Stone Crab Claws, with mustard sauce. My husband really enjoyed it. Only con. - no reservations. But it’s a must try. You won’t be disappointed they even have a breakfast menu!

  • 5/5 Reg T. 6 months ago on Google
    4 stars only due to sitting outside. Our server was a 10 out of 10, which makes a major difference when it comes to dining! The food was great and reasonably fast, considering the restaurant was full! It's was worth the wait. I would encourage setting a reservation to increase your chances of better seating.

  • 5/5 Stacy D. 5 months ago on Google
    Despite being a Floridian for twenty-seven years, I'm not a big seafood fan. When I do want some great fish or to dine with out-of-town visitors who want seafood, I head to Lobster Lady. The food is always expertly cooked. The servers and bartenders are attentive and professional. I don't think this restaurant has the best atmosphere with the projector TV spanning across a large portion of the wall, but that is just sort of nitpicky. I prefer to sit outside when I diner here which is great when the weather is nice.

  • 5/5 MARY O. 8 months ago on Google
    The swordfish is absolutely amazing!! All the food is amazing and very fresh. Our waitress was one of the best waitresses I've ever had. She was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. While in Cape Coral, we went twice. It is a little pricey but well worth it. The New England sampler with swordfish was amazing, and the cape coral bread is a must!!

  • 5/5 Magnolia B. 5 months ago on Google
    Always a great place to eat!!! This place is fantastic!!! Lobster Benedict is always amazing!! The atmosphere is good!! The service is great! The oysters were delicious!!!!! If you love seafood this is the place for you! Ashley was making sushi and we are definitely getting that next time we go!!!!! You can even catch your own lobster in the claw machine game!

    Impressive Lobster Mary! Bloody Mary with a Lobster tail and a big Shrimp, that’s like an appetizer itself :D It’s a casual bistro with raw bar, good food and our server was great and very friendly. Hubby and I came in for an afternoon light bite while visiting Cape Coral. We tried the Crispy Wonton Tuna Taco, and Sautéed Calamari. Both were tasty and delicious. A little weird that the hostess was trying to seat us at a small table all the way back by the kitchen while there were plenty of empty tables on the other side of the restaurant, we did request to change and got a better table on the other side.

    First time here we were turned away as a party of 7 on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation. We weren't even allowed to wait, so it took a while to get over the frustration and go back. Boy was it worth it!!! Absolutely delicious, great service, easy-going atmosphere. The Lobster Lady Sushi Roll was amazing!

  • 5/5 Mark W. 2 years ago on Google
    The best seafood I have ever eaten i had the largest Lobster Tail they offer with drawn lemon butter. It melted in my mouth. I highly recommend The Lobster Lady. This restaurant is so popular you may have to wait outside to get a table but i guarantee the wait will be worth it ! Truly a 5+ star dining experience with $$$ cost but the seafood and large menu offering will impress anyone.
