There is a trend lately to make menus super simple and only offer a limited number of items. Lobster Lady does not follow this trend. They have a full and busy menu, with something for everyone. I am not sure if I ordered the best somethings as both my appetizer and entree, while being described differently ended up being basically the same thing, the protein drowned in garlicky lemon butter sauce. The service was great and the food was okay. The atmosphere was awesome, with a live band too. The price was a little too high though that I would try again before checking out the rest of Cape Coral's seafood places first.

We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon around 4pm. We picked to sit outside because inside was packed. The patio seating is on the sidewalk, they've got umbrellas & fans that spray mist. Some of the mist comes out as water drops, but in 95 degree weather, it's not that big of a deal. Our server was a younger girl who was very friendly & very attentive. She was quick to get our drink order & our food order. I skimmed the menu & noticed that the prices seemed a little high for it being a place located near the water. I decided on the Asian tuna burger for $16.95 with to sides. I picked the Caesars salad & the mushrooms & onions side. The Caesar salad arrived soon after we ordered out food, it was a nice sized salad with s now dressing & croutons. The flies are a little intense on the patio. Most of the meal we were swatting away the flies. After our salads, we got our entrees. I was surprised by the size of the tuna steak on the Asian Tuna burger. It was a nice sized, thick burger. The sear on the tuna was a light sear so you had a good flavor from the tuna. The tuna is on a bun with a slaw mix & some kind of a sauce. I really enjoyed the tuna burger and I tried the carb cake burger my boyfriend ordered. For the price, I thought that the prices were a little high for it being located to the coast. I could see these prices in Nashville, where I'm from, but here they seem a little over priced. Overall I loved the tuna burger I had for 16.95. I would like to go back again and try the brunch menu.

Here is my 2 cents on the food and a bit of chit chat. I was here on a rainy Tuesday for lunch. I have had this booked marked for the past 3 years. It is seafood so it is pricy. I started with a sweet tea.. I asked if it was house made. I was told it was. But to be honest it tasted like a commercial brand. I have tasted house made at 3 other eatery and know the difference. But it could be my taste buds. It was OK. I was offered a bit of fresh bread and butter. It was delightful. Not too many places give fresh bread or rolls with meals any more. Wonderful. They had gumbo on the list. Great I love a good gumbo. My last two gumbos were from a local southern eatery and out of a can. Eatery outstanding 5 stars. Can ehhhh. Well I was disappointed with the Lobster Lady gumbo. First it was not heated enough just above room temperature. Then way too salty for me. It had plenty of okra,shrimp,sausage etc. But to be honest I thought I was eating a slightly upgrade from out of the national brand can soup.Also there rice through out. It was not served on a bed of rice. Which was ok but it lack the proper flavor. My sides were outstanding. The spinach was sauteed excellently. I am as always adventurous . I got the Seaweed Salad. It was chilled and oh so good. .Too think a weed from the ocean could be so tasty. Who had the courage to try this. Well Done. They had my favorite fish. Trout. It was delightful too. Not overcooked just right. I had it almondine I enjoyed it. But maybe a bit too much sauce. Again though that's just me. Over all a great entree. Thumbs up chef. My server Kathleen ( I believe) was outstanding She did an excellent job. Over a good experience..

This place has amazing food. The crawfish beignets were out of this world. The service is impeccable and the atomosphere is fun! I will be back!

My husband and I went to LL for a special treat. We arrived on a Friday night around 730pm with our baby. The wait for inside was 30min, but seating outside was immediate so we opted for that. We ordered twelve oysters as an appetizer, and were pleasantly surprised to learn that they are on special for one dollar each on Friday evenings. Great price! We ordered a few drinks, priced about the same as any other drinks are in the Cape. We ordered the Seafood Tower (photos in album) and shared it. It was priced very reasonably for everything it included. Unfortunately, because we were seated outside there was a horde of flies constantly landing on the food. I wish the restaurant warned us when the sat us, because we really did spend our dinner fending off flies. Otherwise, pretty good!
(4)Anita E.
Always a good meal here. We frequent this great place often. Last night was Macadamia Coconut Snapper with pineapple salsa. And Whole Belly clams. Both delicious.
(5)Sally F.
Went for breakfast this morning. Haven't been in almost a year. I was disappointed. It was a fine breakfast. Just not as tasty as it used to be. The crab cake Benedict didn't have a much flavor as it used to. I wonder if they got a new chef.
(3)Katherine B.
Every time I come here the food is amazing! This time we got tuna tacos and Friday special: full rack baby backs ribs with corn. Amazing!!!! Oh please don't forget for appetizer avocado stuffed with crab and Parmesan
(5)Jenniene M.
Some of the time it's amazing and other times it's just so so . For the price it should always be fabulous!
(3)Alexandra S.
This without a doubt my favorite place to dine in the fort myers area but honestly its the best restaurant I've been to in years I have ate here several times And each one makes me live it even more than the last. The location is nondescript and unassuming being that its located in a strip mall type setting but the atmosphere inside is that of a cosmopolitan yet relaxed place with an emphasis in local badass seafood ,all the times I have been there there has been live entertainment which I have enjoyed. Everything is on point here from the full bar hand crafted cocktails ($2 margaritas on Tuesday along with other nightly specials like $8.99 lb of snow crab!!) We had oysters and salads apps and entrees because the menu is so affordable we totally order like ballers when we go a luxury I can rarely do.Everything was wonderfully timed to let us have time to enjoy them all. The salads that we ordered were the half size portions and were still giant when shared! Ive tried the Brandy Butter grouper with dirty rice and sauteed spinach and the Stone crab claws both awesome but the blackened Sea bass was to die for !!My boyfriend had the grouper Rockefeller and the time before the Bacon wrapped lobster tail!! Stupid full and half schwilly from cocktails ,a champagne split and a glass of Merryvale Napa cab I boldly pressed on to a perfect cappuccino and a delicious chocolate covered strawberry cheesecake .Lobster Lady ,I love you.

I wanted to eat some good seafood and this place produced. I am from Michigan, visiting for the week, and definitely wanted some seafood, especially oysters. Oysters are reasonably priced which did not effect the quality at all. They were great! I came on a Tuesday so the snow crab was on sale for only $8.99/lb. I also had a side Caesar salad. Salad was great and I loved the crab. For the price and good quality, you cannot beat this place. They also have a very dynamic beer selection which added to to the experience. Service was good too. I recommend this place for anyone in the Cape Coral area.
(5)Andrea C.
We took some friends from out of town here and sat on the patio. Food was good, service was good also.
(4)Colin C.
Hit or miss . Sometimes great , other times not so great. Prices are always the same though. Very High.
(3)Sara S.
Great Sunday morning brunch with a large family. Food was fantastic, price was great too. Definately will return, steak and eggs were great, eggs benedict was also great. Great menu.
(5)Stephen H.
Went here with parents and sister on our first night of vacation. Absolutely wonderful. Giant menu with an incredible amount of options. I got almond encrusted scallops with a honey wasabi sauce. Had red skins and corn on the cob on the side. Everything was delicious! Red skins could have been slightly more flavorful but the scallops were amazing with the wasabi. If you want great sea food you need to come here.
(4)Sarah B.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their food presentation is wonderful. They do have quite a large menu, but they offer some pretty unique and yummy dishes!
(5)Roxanne E.
We ended up at Lobster Lady for my birthday dinner after our original destination was closed. It was a happy accident. The service was stellar and the food good. I'd go again or recommend LL to anyone visiting the area.
(4)Samantha G.
So I was kind of afraid of eating here today, after reading on yelp about how slow and terrible the service is (I had a flight to catch), but still decided to give it a shot. So glad I did! I told our server about our time constraints, and he was very helpful. The prices are a little steep, but if it's good seafood I won't argue. We got a dozen blue point oysters which were yummy, but they seemed to be shrunken in size. The fried calamari is meh, nothin special to write home about. I got the king crab legs, and was kinda disappointed when only three legs came out. Could they at least have made it an even number?! It was good, but I expected more for the price I was gonna pay. The biggest highlite of the lunch was definitely the mutant lobster. This huge 8+ pound lobster has definitely got to be a genetically engineered mutant, or have eaten some of Alex Rodriguez' steroids. This sucker was the biggest I've ever seen in my entire life! Even the table of seniors next to us got all quiet when the guy pulled it out of the tank!! So when they brought our dishes out, they brought out Lenny (yes, I named the lobster), with some clams, potatoes, and other crawfish. My dad couldn't decide where to begin! I've never left a crab leg or lobster on a plate, but it's damn near impossible to eat that whole thing. It was definitely worth coming here, and will be back every time I'm in town ;)
(5)CJ H.
We ordered takeout. Ordered blackened Mahi fish tacos, conch fritters and blackened grouper po boy. Food was great. They forgot to pack my two sides, fruit and dirty rice. Would have given it 5 starts, but forgetting order and taking 40+ minutes for take out was bad.
(3)Jon E.
Had company in town and wanted to share one of our favorite places. Was horrible! Food was served 1 hour and 15 minutes after we sat down! Out of several favorites and Waiter gave us a $5 off coupon for next time! Then said we could have desert for free. When we ordered desert he says only one was free! So disappointed! Had 7 people in our group! Treated horribly especially for a couple people who go there two to three times a month!
(1)Casi V.
Love lovee the seafood tower! Went here for brunch the other day and it was amazing! Going back this weekend (:
(5)Cheri H.
Food was pretty good.. Menu was waaay too much!! Don't get the waiter guy Chris!! LITTLE CRABBY!!
(3)Randy R.
This has the best fresh seafood in town. Fish tacos are incredible!!! Get them with the sweet potato fries (which come with a sweet cinnamon like glaze to dip in). I always get the fish tacos and my family gets varying items each time (lobster is great, grouper, crab meat, etc). Cape Coral Bread app is also dee-lish. Staff is very attentive. Most days are quick to get a table, but call ahead on weekends to avoid waiting 45+ min. WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS AND NOT EATING AT LOBSTER LADY??? Enjoy :-)
(5)Debbie M.
Our only mistake this time was not calling ahead for a table for 5. This is a small place with outstanding food. The hostess did not handle our group well, but the server made sure we had a good time and kept us laughing. Side of potato salad was very undercooked, but of the 4 times I have been here, that is my only food complaint. I can always count on this place for an outstanding dinner. Will be back for stone crabs and lobster.
(4)Chris A.
I absolutely loved this place! Great atmosphere, the service was incredible. Fun place for the whole family. The 4x4 Hot Oyster Platter was probably the best thing I've ever eaten in my life. Everyone was in great spirits and super welcoming. I had the Lobster Lady ale and it was good, if you like light beer. I prefer a little darker beer.
(5)Steven G.
This place was recomended to us by a friend and wow I am so glad she did . The service was fantastic the atmosphere was great and the food was the highlight. We had the lobster pot and it was fantastic,fresh out of the tank I recomend you try it . The lobster Lady is now my go to resturant for fresh seafood !
(5)Jerry R.
The fried Ipswich whole bellied clams were perfect. The 2.5 pound lobster was cooked to perfection.
(5)Peter S.
I wasn't overly impressed by this place. Many people are, but I wasn't blown away. 3 of the 4 in my party didn't really like what they had. The menu has a ton of options so maybe I need to come back and try a piece of fish instead of a lobster?? Regardless, the restaurant is a very busy place, so that accounts for something. The service was very good even though our server didn't know several things regarding the menu...he apoligized many times over and that's a good thing. I had the Malpeque Oysters as an app and they were fab!!
(3)Chuck B.
We had read about the Lobster Lady and their great food. It is a diamond in the ruff. Our 4 meals were wonderful. They prepare every meal from scratch when you order. You must be prepare to wait or go early.
(5)Colleen S.
Great seafood place with a few landlubber choices for those who turn green at the sight of water creatures. We went on a Friday night around 5:15 and the wait was already an hour. Managed to get in a bit quicker when two groups in front of us left because Lobster Lady only serves beer and wine in the liquor category. Connecticut Blue Points were plump, juicy and no shell bits, thank you! They were almost as good as the ones we got out of the waters back in Connecticut. I got a shrimp Po' boy. 4 small shrimp on a large grinder roll. The shrimp were great but way to much bread for the amount of shrimp. I cut it in half, added all shrimp to one half and discarded other half of roll. He got a spicy calamari that he said was very good and hot just as expected. Got a salted carmel cheesecake for desert. A bit rich and not much flavor. They have a large lobster tank. We also noted a claw game where you could win your lobster but not sure what that cost. However, when we were there a man won two lobsters for his dinner. One lobster piggybacked his way out on the other so they gave him both lobsters. Pretty sweet! We will return and hope to give more stars. Service was excellent!
(3)Ken R.
By far, the best meal and presentation I've experienced. The service was outstanding, as well. I knew I wanted hog fish (sometimes hard to find) and left the rest up to the barmaid. She elected to have it prepared "dirty", on a bed of brown rice, and grilled zucchini on the side. It was amazing. For dessert I had spoon lovin' chocolate cake, a' la mode, which was to die for. The prices are at the premium end, but, the product is at the premium end. I've worked in the restaurant supply industry and have been in many chains and stores. The ownership, here, "get it".
(5)Jerry E.
Let me tell you about our fantastic experience at the Lobster Lady Seafood Market and Bistro. The place is fun and noisy and has a certain electricity and vibe, all great!! The place was rocking and people were waiting outside. We only had a party of 4 so we couldn't have reservations but they have call ahead and we were seated within 20 minutes of our arrival. Maryanne and I had the scallops........oh my....never had better, melt in your mouth scallops ANYWHERE as good as these, fantastic. We had both order Hogfish but our great waitress Nicole came back and informed us they had sold out. She recommended the Scallops.....GREAT!! Elaine had a 1.77 lb lobster that she said was divine and huge claws with lots of tender meat. Dave had Yellowtail snapper.......he loved his also. What can I say, 4 people all very happy with the wonderful food, great service and a fantastic server, Nicole. It doesn't get any better than this!!! SUPERB
(5)Farah R.
We came here for my husband's birthday and thankfully had reservations! This place was popping ! Also had the best looking parking lot in Cape Coral- allot of nice cars. Great menu w amazing seafood. Beats Capitol Grill at a much better price .
(5)Ryan S.
The food was absolutely fantastic here. I came in here with high expectations and had the lump crab omelette, and let me tell you; they delivered! The waitress was great, food was fast. My brother had sangria and he said it was spot on. I highly recommend their breakfast to anyone.
(5)Gerald E.
A friend recommended this place a few weeks ago. We stopped in last night and we're very happy with food and service. Menu is very extensive. We had steamed clams for appetizer followed by grouper rocker feller and Mahi Mahi fish tacos. All the side items were also amazing. We loved everything and will be back. They even had a one man band who played at right volume and good mix of music.
(4)Chuck L.
Very very good food. Tables are close together and it's often very crowded. Long wait even on what should be off nights. The food however is FAB.
(4)Geri M.
Place was jamming on a Friday night after 9 PM. Food was stellar and service attentive. I had the oyster shooter and the stone crabs...mmm-mm. Husband had the lobster/ribs special, which he enjoyed. Who knew the desserts would be so good! Cannot understand the 3 star average review.
(4)Michael R.
Great clam chowder as always. Excellent special of halabut Rockefeller. Great carry-out if you are in a hurry.
(5)Abbie B.
I arrived at Lobster Lady with five others. We were promptly greeted by Nicole who suggested the specials for the day & various appetizers. We decided upon the Cape Bread & Stuffed Mushrooms for appetizers. Both were delicious! My favorite was the cape bread topped with olive oil. I also had the bisque soup for a starter which had chunks of lobster... perfection! For an entree my boyfriend had the lemon butter scallops with grilled asparagus. He has been raving about them ever since we left! I had the lobster tail , which was excellent; not too tough and cooked to perfection. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Not only was the food fantastic, but the service by Nicole was consistent the entire evening. Thank you for lovely evening!
(5)Jason H.
What can I say, after waiting 90 minutes for our meal to arrive, the food was cold and not even the correct order. Service was terrible and the manager was clueless. This was not our first visit but after several average experiences, this latest experience will surely be our last.
(1)John D.
STILL FIVE STARS We came in for Sunday breakfast/brunch. The menu was extensive, making the choice difficult. I had the Lump Crabmeat Benedict with Applewood Smoked Bacon. It was delicious. My wife created her own scrambled eggs with lobster, plus the same bacon. Once again, it was just perfect. Both meals had nice chunks of crabmeat & lobster, respectively, and the bacon was ample and just right. Lovely. Only negative? The coffee was not very hot and not very strong. A delightful place and a real addition to the dining in the Cape scene.
(5)Lily R.
If there are crab cakes on the menu, then I pretty much have to get them...and the crab cakes here do not disappoint! The first time we went here was for lunch and I ordered a crab cake sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. It had three decent sized crab cakes on a fresh roll. The bread was good, but the crab cakes were better, so I just ended up eating them on their own. The sweet potato fries are awesome as well, and they come with a maple aioli dipping sauce that is the perfect compliment to them! The second time I just went with the good old crab cakes..it's more than enough food and reasonably priced for both lunch and dinner! Can't wait til season is over and there's no longer an hour wait though....
(5)Stefanie H.
When it comes to brunch, it's safe to say I am obsessed with this place. I've never thought of it before because I don't like seafood and I thought there was no way I'd find something on the menu to eat. I was dead wrong when it comes to brunch. Extensive menu with so many options. I opted for the eggs Benedict with ham. Perfect poached eggs and a hollandaise with a bit of zest. The sausage biscuits and gravy half side are a must! The beer menu is wonderful and they have a split of prosecco you can pair with OJ and make your own mimosa! The service was wonderfully pleasant and not obtrusive at all! I can't wait to go back here for brunch! Thank you Lobster Lady for the wonderful service, selection and for being my new Sunday brunch place!
(5)R B.
We attempted to eat here with our 2 young kids, which is a chore in its self. It was early so the place was pretty empty. We walked in and were not greeted by anyone. A couple waitresses and the bartender were standing around and didn't really even acknowledge we were there. (The hostess was on the phone with a customer, so not her fault). After a few minutes the hostess sat us. (I personally thought the people standing around could of helped out as we were just standing there). After we were seated, it seemed like an eternity before the waitress came to the table. As our littlest was getting restless we decided to get up and leave as we didn't want our kids to disturb anyone and it seemed like it was going to take forever to eat. We were left intrigued as the seafood counter and giant lobsters looked amazing. We decided on carryout the next evening. What a great idea! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the Clam strip poi boy and my wife had the ahi tuna tacos. She said they were the best she ever had. We shared the conch fritters and smoked salmon cigars. The sweet potatoe fries were cooked perfect. The different sauces that were served with everything were to die for. All in all I would recommend this place in a minute as the food was delicious!
(4)CJ G.
We were here for dinner on Saturday night. Very busy little place. I ordered the cold water lobster. For the price, the tail was very small, but very good. No butter was served with my dish . Our waitress was not the best, but very personable. I would revisit this restaurant because of the many choices of fresh seafood. I think that the service may need a little tweaking.
(3)E. M.
There are two reasons to visit this eatery market: sit down to seafood or browse a constantly changing room length fresh fish display to select something for your home chef to do magic with. Fish is fresh and abundant with variety in preparation and flavors. We note that service may lapse but food is great. Case in point: we ordered a salad w bleu cheese dressing on the side. By pure accident the dressing was tartar sauce instead. After asking the young lady to replace it, we got the most awkward denial...."This IS all we have, she said. This is bleu cheese! No, we said, it is not. Yes it is! And so on. We patiently asked her to get help identifying some bleu cheese dressing and w serious angst she went back to the rows of prepacked dressing and somehow found one but had to explain the problem as being someone else's fault......really? Who cares. Don't argue w customer. Please. It is boring . Ewwww. When I said the customer is always right....she backed up and got the point. Argue over the $$$ items, not 20 cents worth of tartar sauce.
(3)Jen H.
Clams were fresh, food was good. Atmosphere was pleasant. We called ahead to place ourselves on the wait list, because there is a wait. Our server was very nice and attentive. Restaurant was clean and employees were constantly vigilant to make sure customers were happy. The wait for food is a bit long, but worth the wait. The front hostesses should be retrained. On the two occasions we've been there the young hostesses had a not-so-welcoming attitude. Because the restaurant is very busy, the hostesses seemed flustered and were very rude to us. This can be enough to make a customer walk away. This is why I rated 4 stars.
(4)BobAndElayne L.
Spent this past week in Cape Coral and of course we had to visit the Lobster Lady. We have been there several times. It is always crowded and fun. They have fishing videos running on the ceiling, late night live music, and a beer and wine bar. We usually have lobster ($16.95 lb) A great price for New England style lobster. It's always good. We have never had a problem with service although in the winter you usually have to wait for a table for at least 1/2 hr. We have brought friends and everyone has always been satisfied. There is also a fish store in the restaurant and we have purchased fish several times and have always found it fresh and fairly priced. If you are looking for a fun evening of seafood this is a good spot. PS: smaller lobsters are always better tasting. Have 2 or 3 smaller guys and skip the giant guys whenever you buy lobsters.
(4)Iroqueenb E.
Fresh and delicious, super friendly and spot on for great seafood! Very casual atmosphere and great music playing. I would definitely recommend to anyone in search of a genuine seafood restaurant! Thanks also to Nicole for her professional table-side manner and attentive service! Great dining experience!
(5)Rick K.
We heard good things from friends, so decided to give it a try. Our server was excellent, in that when we asked what to order she advised us "not" on certain items. Loving linguine and white clam sauce, 2 of us had that. The other two had shrimp scampi and a lobster roll, which were fine. The linguini, on the other had looked fantastic, but had so much lemon, it completely overpowered the garlic, clams and butter. My fault for not sending it back. Atmosphere was nice and the entertainment was good. We may try it again knowing this, but it may be a while to get rid of the lemon flavor.
(2)A P.
After waiting 1 hour, my appetizer (ceviche, which is not even cooked took an hour!!) arrived. It was absolutely inedible, tasted like rotten old mushy seafood. Others at the table said that their meals were ok, the tuna poke and fish and chips were apparently not bad. Unfortunately, some of us ended up with food poisoning and my child was violently sick all afternoon into the evening. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but overall it was extremely slow for food that was not good or fresh.
(1)Jennifer H.
My girlfriends and I went for lunch. I had bacon wrapped salmon and it was awesome - fresh and not overcooked. Bacon was firm and not too greasy. Side of spinach with just the right amount of garlic. Friends loved their meals too and the bread was warm and yummy.
(5)Stacy G.
Doesn't look like the best place to eat inside or out. But the food is fabulous! Always taste fresh! Highly recommend the conch fritters for appetizer. Scallops have always been wonderful. Had twin lobster tails today which was great too! Only complaint ever has been the wait to be seated but it's a small place with great food so the wait is expected!
(5)Ruthie A.
Loved this place so much. We had the cooked oysters and their house beer. So delicious! Ask for their bread I don't think they charge for it but they only give it to you if you ask for it.
(5)Rebecca P.
After a bad day of charter fishing we sought out a quality fish market to get out grouper fix. What a great little market...staff was very friendly and helpful and the quality of the fish was superb. We didn't eat here but the food looked great!!!
(5)Dave M.
I was almost scared off from this place by some of the reviews about the service but decided to give it a try. Our experience was great and the service was outstanding. The appetizers were brought out within 10 minutes and the waitress was all over drink refills. My wife and I both got the grouper special and thought it wasn't the "best" we had ever had but fresh and well prepared. Lobster is obviously the specialty and will try it next time I visit Cape Coral.
(5)Wendell B.
One last chance for seafood before we left the area, so after the reviews we decided this was the place to be (also it was near the Westin, where we were staying.) When we arrived, the hostess said it would be a 20 min. wait unless we wanted immediate seating at the bar, so we chose the latter. Good and bad choice. The bad: woman next to me was left handed and kept elbowing me when she was eating (she left before we got our food,) and people walking through continuously bumped the back of my chair. The good: bartender Kayce was a whirlwind of energy and took good care of us despite being super busy. We ordered one of our favorites, Shock Top Summer Shandy, and an appetizer order of conch fritters. The fritters were as good as we had in Abaco and the Bahamas several years ago. Shandy was refreshing and we had several during the meal. My wife ordered the lobster roll with sauteed veggies and sauteed spinach. The roll was good but small for $19.00 price--she had to have nachos when we got home because she was still hungry. I saw a special with lobster: full rack of ribs and a 6 oz. lobster tail, along with fresh corn on the cob and slaw. Slaw was okay, corn was fresh and delicious, lobster was smaller than expected and ribs were tender and plentiful--I brought some home, even after sharing with my wife. Not bad for $25. Live music started about an hour before we left and was a guitarist who sang--pretty good and lots of old favorites. Overall it was a good experience--really crowded and spilling out onto the sidewalk when we left, so it's obviously a well-publicized and popular place. We talked to a local and she said it was one of her favorite places in the area, so I think we made a good choice. Try it yourself and see if you liked it as much as we did.
(4)Michele G.
great food...great prices.......open late which is the only place in town....really great place a must try
(5)Nic A.
We just went here for the first time and had breakfast and lunch. Delicious! The staff was really friendly and helpful. We ordered the lobster omelette, crab cake sandwich, fish and chips, and a cheese omelette and were totally satisfied. My lobster omelette had the best sauce and tasted so fresh. The crab cakes were more crab than bread crumbs and were so filling; also a delicious sauce. Fish and chips, also amazing, huge portions. Overall the place is great; it's new and different and a refreshing change in Cape Coral. The market itself was diverse and the fresh fish was huge and looked very appetizing. When you walk in, there was no fishy typical fish-market smell. The decor was simple and cute, not overkill like some seafood places are. Definitely can't wait to go back for dinner and to buy some fish and lobster for dinner.
(5)Carol Sperlak Miller W.
Lobster lady used to be our favorite restaurant. Sadly the last three times we have visited the food is mediocre at best. The oysters Rockefeller were always a favorite and now they are gritty and soupy and flavorless. We have tried very hard to say positive things but have been extremely disappointed our last three visits. We will look for other options in the Cape.

I never write bad reviews... until now. Three weeks ago, my family and I encountered an incredibly rude waitress at this restaurant. That weekend, I sent an email to the owner at the address listed on their website about the incident. Since I never got a response, apparently management does not have a strong concern for customers either. I have pasted the email below. This service issue aside, the grouper I had was flavorless. A south FL seafood restaurant with a rude server who can't even get fried grouper right? Yikes. -------- To: lobsterladyseafood@hotma… Dear MaryBeth Keslinger: My family and I just left your establishment. We were very much looking forward to dinner out as my husband and I are in town once a year to visit my dad, and this is the first time we brought my daughter to visit her grandfather. We chose your establishment to dine in. When our server brought our dinner, another waitress came with her to bring my dad's entree. When he said quietly, "I did not get my salad." She rudely said back to our waitress, "he said he doesn't want it, take it back." When he corrected her politely saying he did not say to take it back but that he wanted his salad as well, she slammed the plate down and scolded my dad in the rudest tone I have ever heard from a server, then openly rolled her eyes. The surrounding tables looked up as she stormed away, causing a scene. I am emailing because I am simply appalled. I am a general manager in a customer service industry in New York City, and would never tolerate an employee eye rolling, being overtly rude, raising her voice, or slamming a plate down. I would appreciate it if someone informed me if there were customer service issues within my staff, which is why I am informing you of this issue. I look forward to your response. Best, Lisa ----------

So good! Best bacon wrapped salmon ever! Cooked perfectly. Fried oysters best in the Cape so far. Will be coming back for sure!!

First time at this place had a small crowd ordered the grouper dinner and the fish and chips dinner. It looked good but no season at all had to cover it with salt to bring some taste out. Beers were a bit expensive not to be in Miami. I paid 4.50 for a corona kind of steep for a beer.

I'm a seafood lover and enjoy the busy successful atmosphere of this place. I'm going with 3 stars due to the shrimp and grits. Let me just say that I expected and prefer the Charleston version of this dish. Thick, garlicky sauce instead of what I got. Because I think so much of this place, I'm choosing to think of their preparation as a local favorite, instead of a fail. Just not the way I like it.

Every time I come to town I MUST go to lobster lady fot at least 1 meal. Their seafood is fresh and delicious the ambiance is wonderful and the service is excellent. My personal favorites are the conch fritters, the blackened shrimp poboy and on the weekends when they have breakfast the s#@t that killed Elvis, and yes that is what they call french toast stuffed with peanut butter bananas and bacon, is a great rib sticking breakfast. And the tanks with live lobsters are crammed with lobsters of all sizes including 15+ lb monster lobsters. Great selection of beers and also a fish market if you want to do your own seafood creation. I really love this place.

Showed up for lunch with my neighbor after having dinner several nights out there with a friend and enjoying the menu. We were on a lunch time clock. Place had several four tops open but we were told there would be a 15-20 minute wait until a 2-top opened. They were anticipating lunch patrons and didn't want to give up tables even tho we were there. These were not being held for a reservation!! We waited five minutes and no additional people showed up and again I asked to be seated and got the same response. I took out my receipts from the previous evening and told them if they didn't feel I was a valuable patron I'd be leaving and never returning as we were on a lunch hour. They didn't budge, assured they'd need those 4-tops. We left. No idea if anyone ever came but doubt it. Have never, and will never go back to Lobster Lady. Deplorable behavior.

i have been here twice now, on trips a few months apart. the first visit was terrible experience. i got the grouper tacos. i LOVE grouper, and i LOVE tacos. my sides were squash and zucchini and i can't remember what else. the presentation was fine, and even looked more than promising as it came with a pretty flower that i ate first thing. :) but the tacos....they were so bad. the fish, i ordered grilled, was soggy and mushy and blechhh. i can imagine the cook placing the soggy nasty scraps of fish into the tacos. did they think, "would I eat this? would i pay for this?" the sauce it came with was WAY too abundant and disturbingly sweet. again, i have to imagine the bottle of sauce with the lid not on all the way, then it pops off and sauce fills the taco shell..and the cook is like, "it's fine. looks good." they were inedible. and the sides were whatever. why ruin perfectly good squash and zucchini by pouring what was undoubtedly fake butter and piles of parmesan cheese?? this was edible in the way that anything is edible after 2 glasses of wine and the fact that i had no intention of finishing the tacos. *sigh* not just this restaurant, but others in SWFL seem to only know how to bread and deep fry their fish and other seafood. it's a shame. gosh, so why did i go back again? because it's close to the house i stay at and they have outdoor seating. ok so this time i got the fried shrimp and a lobster tail. they were both great!! like, really good. so, deep fried wins. i will also say the service was great; attentive servers both times even amidst large crowds. oh god! i forgot about the in house entertainment. nevermind. i'll let you find out.
(3)Ashley M.
Both experiences we have had here were great! This is the only place I have had good grouper! Other places claim it is fresh and it is awful. The service is always fast, especially when we sit at the bar. Everything we have had there is wonderful!
(5)Lacee M.
Have been here several times for dinner with the family and the food and service has always been top notch. I also go here and buy from the fish market as well and everything's always been delish and fresh. Whether you order seafood, pasta , steak you will not be disappointed at all. Everyone that works there is always friendly, funny, personably etc. We just love going there...I can't say enough good things about this place. My kids love it and have gotten to hold the live lobsters numerous times. Last time we were their they were loading the tanks and my kids were handing them the lobsters from the boxes for the guy to put in the tanks which they loved. The only bad thing is it is pretty small and we frequently have to wait for a table but it's well worth it.. Just brought home some frozen lobster tails for Xmas dinner and everyone ( 11 people) said it was the best & freshest they've ever had at home or in any restaurant. It gives you that small family owned feeling when you're there, which is one of the reaons we enjoy it. FYI -I would kill for the bread they bring to the table
(5)Guess W.
Food is ok but the service is just awful including the hostess. Lies lies lies. Your next. Ya Right. After they seat three other parties before you. Absolute worst run biz in all of cape coral. If there were 0 stars it would be too much. Not going back. Too many other good places to eat. Ugh
(1)Matt P.
The address is wrong on the map! It's WEST coral. Worth getting too, good lobster and shrimp. But a but expensive!
(3)Cathy G.
Terrific jalapeno shrimp, great lobster roll, and service that was friendly as well as helpful. We are definitely fans and will go back. It is hard to understand why anyone would give this place less than a four star rating. The seafood is fresh. The waitstaff hustle and the food comes out looking as good as it tastes. The menu has enough variety to keep even the pickiest of eaters happy with choices from grilled portobellos to conch fritters to burgers and steaks.
(4)Rick A.
Nice seafood place, not too big, very clean and quality food. Christina our server was excellent, get there early or expect to wait! Lobster was very good, clams, steak was good and great specials! The only downfall is the phone doesn't stop ringing and sounds like its at your table!
(4)Kim D.
This place is awesome. The last place you'd expect to find great seafood would be tucked away in a strip mall in Cape Coral, but don't let the location fool you! Not only can you dine inside, but you can also take fresh fish home from the seafood market. There aren't that many tables inside, so even though we had a reservation we had to wait almost 45 minutes. It was well worth the wait. Everything we had was super fresh and well executed. We tried the hush puppies and the garlic and jalapeño shrimp for appetizers, and had the crab stuffed flounder and blackened mahi sandwich for our entrees. We were beyond impressed with everything, and would gladly make the drive to come back again. Prices are a little on the high side, but like they say ( whoever "they" are), you get what you pay for!! Highly recommended.
(5)Kristen A.
Being a New Englander from the "real" Cape, was skeptical about seafood in the Florida Cape, however, this place is outstanding. I ordered the panko fish n chips which was a plate full of crispy deliciousness. The wait staff was amazing and the fish market is stocked from end to end, and to my delight, the scallops are from my home town of New Bedford, MA. Highly recommended and cannot wait for my next trip to the lovely and delightful Lobster Lady.
(5)Rob M.
Great seafood, interesting room, reasonable prices.
(4)Teresa B.
The food was delicious. I had the grouper sandwhich and it wasn't dry. The reason why it's getting four stars is because of the waiters they were rude and not efficient. We waited for 10 minutes before We had to get someone to take care of our table and to ask for our order they didn't acknowledge us even for drinks however later one of the waiters who had other tables took it upon himself to help our table his name was Lance and I give him high recommendation. Great job lance!
(4)Mary D.
We went here on the recommendation of a local we golfed with. It's an interesting place with the specials and video running on the wall. However, we couldn't see very well where we were sitting. We had a clam chowder which was very good and fish and chips that my husband liked very much. My coconut shrimp was served with a raspberry/mint sauce that I thought was just not right for it. I asked for a coconut or mango, sweet-type sauce, but they didn't have any. We were seated right next to the food prep area which was a little disruptive and the noise level was rather high. Our server, Jacqueline, was very good, knowledgeable and enjoyed her job.
(3)BRYAN C.
Stopped in Saturday morning for breakfast. Not many people there, the breakfast crowd must arrive a little later. We were seated immediately and drink orders taken. Happy, attentive server. Brought the drinks and took our order. I had the Hillbilly breakfast, which included eggs, fried potatoes, bacon, a biscuit with gravy and sourdough toast. The sausage gravy was the best I have ever had. The toast was toasted on the griddle(I thought this was delicious. My friend had a sausage and mushroom omelette. Excellent. Great experience. On our way out we bought some fresh seafood for the grill. It was terrific, but a bit pricey.
(5)Patrick R.
Awesome Place, Great Food and reasonable prices and yes they know how to blacken seafood ! YES...We need more like this in SW Cape Coral !
(5)Elizabeth R.
I have been a resident of Lee County for 41 years, and try to visit local eateries to support our own so to speak. So tonight after hearing a radio commercial for Lobster Lady,we decided to give a go. Well, I can honestly say the young hostess was very sweet , and after waiting 45 minutes to be seated after being told it was a 25 minute wait,we were told we were next. Nope! A couple pulled up and the manager promptly seated them,I inquired for the 2nd time how much longer.I was rudely told by the Male Host that they called at 7 so they were actually there before us ,mind you it was 8:30 now. So the empty jester of free drinks ,mentioned but never brought out while we waited and blaming the young hostess for not knowing what she was doing. Nice throw the new girl under the bus. Well we finally just left and to the rude male host waving bye bye out the window. He forgets that the locals keep him going in the off season. Will not return.
(1)Victoria T.
Thus is definitely the place to go for seafood. The menu is extensive and the service is good. We were very pleased. AND the key lime pie is the BEST in SW Florida!!!
(4)Mike N.
Been here 3 times way over rated. Last night will be my last time. Lobster Roll horrible no taste no seasoning and at $15.95 it was $14.95 to much.
(2)Jim S.
Great fun, great bustling atmosphere and awesome food! All topped off with outstanding service from Vivienne! She gave great advice and shared her favorites. The lobster tail was excellent, the gumbo was superb and the sea bass outstanding
(4)Peter V.
All of our food was great except for the "OMG melt" we had, it tasted a little funky. But while they do specialize in lobster and sea food, do not be afraid to try something else. We had tacos (with fish) and they were delicious. And surprisingly we also enjoyed a fabulous bowl of pasta with marinara sauce! Their servers were great and attended the table on time for us. The servers were also very friendly. They have a great selection to pick from, when I was probably only half way through the menu when found my choice, but in my opinion is a good thing so you can have a lot of options. They also have great sides to choose from. I got the caesar salad and the coleslaw, the salad was VERY good, I did not eat too much of the coleslaw, but for all I know it was good. They have a great market of fish you can choose to buy, their crab legs they were selling were huge. It is a great place to visit, definitely go there if you are vacationing or live here near cape coral. It is a great place and we are probably going to go again before we leave Florida for our vacation. I would definitely recommend this great restaurant for anyone who enjoys a GREAT meal!!! Go to this restaurant!!!!!!
(5)Jerry C.
We had two lobster rolls and lobster bisque. The lobster roll was fresh but had absolutely no taste or lobster flavor. One review stated that steamed Maine lobsters were served. Nowhere on the menu or menu board's does it stated that Maine lobster is served. I am from New England and there is no way this is authentic Maine lobster, nor does the restaurant say it is. If you want a Maine lobster roll with Maine lobster taste do not go here for your fix. There is a very noticeable taste difference between lobster and Maine lobster. Lobsters come from many different places, but most do not have the taste of Maine lobster. I think many people see all lobster as Maine lobster and it is not true. We had the lobster bisque, it tasted as if it was made from a soup base lacked taste and any recognizable size pieces of lobster meat. They Lobster rolls were served with Sweet potato Fries (excellent) or Shoestring Fries (very good) and cold slaw and were very ample portions. I would not go back for a Lobster roll but I would go back to try another type of fish dinner. They had a large selection of fresh fish to choose from. They indicated that they would prepare a fish dinner in many different styles of cooking. The prices were on the high to very high side, but good fresh fish is expensive. As an expensive dinner or lunch place the restaurant lacked atmosphere.
(2)Spike P.
We ordered the lobster roll for 16.00 each.What a joke.Its the worst lobster roll we have ever had.Way over rated.Don't waste your time or money on this place.
(1)Rob F.
Lobster Roll kicks ass! That being said, the service was flat out BAD! Slow and inconsistent throughout. 3:00 in the afternoon not terribly busy. Waited forever for server, then changed servers, No check backs etc.
(3)Denise R.
okay.. maybe the lobster isn't from Maine.. and the tables are a little close and crowded but there is no denying that the seafood is very fresh! I had bay scallops that were lightly blackened and they were excellent. Everyone at my table liked their meal although my daughter thought her grouper did not taste like grouper and the texture was different.. still she liked the fish. The service was excellent! we never lacked for anything. we had a great time at Lobster Lady . I would eat here again!
(4)Cameron C.
Our group had Fish and Chips, couple sandwiches, shrimp, soups, an appetizer and a few other dishes. Reviews ran the table from very good to excellent. Everyone had something they really liked and everyone thought all the food was tasty. The service was exceptional with nary a drink that went empty and our server was always around but did not hover. Hosts were pleasant and accommodating. The owner was also walking the floor checking in on patrons which to me only added to the overall delightful feeling about the place. The decor and music are wonderful as well. We liked the clean lines, great use of the white space with the projector and even the market portion added to the overall visuals. Lobster Lady looks great, has terrific fresh food, exceptional service, casual atmosphere and is priced well in my opinion. There are a few other places in town that serve similar fare but so far none we have tried compete at this level.
(5)Patti M.
went for lunch. were seated quickly and professionally. New England girl just trying to find seafood the right way. NE Clam Chowder, was not hot and definitely had too much cream, that's all you tasted. Ordered the Lobster roll figuring it should be good with all the live lobsters swimming about... Honestly, the size was great ($15.95) but if i had closed my eyes i wouldn't have known what i was eating, lobster just had no flavor at all Only tasted mayo and spices. FF were great, coleslaw a little different than I am used to. My husband had Crab Cakes LOVED them. They serve Publix tea (my fav) Maybe the fried food is better but they did not offer Haddock :(.
(3)P J.
Was planning on doing dinner here but, just so happen to see the place during an afternoon trip and decided to drop in for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was great. I had the fish taco platter that made my wristwatch stop and knocked my sandals clean off. I'm 6'3" and 212 lbs. and could only eat 2 of them ( platter had 3 ). I rested a bit and just had to try the homemade bread pudding with bourbon sauce and vanilla bean ice cream...... Totally orgasmic....... What an experience... The pudding was warm and the ice cream rock hard. I polished it off immediately and swore that I would return for more....anyway......just go there and have your wristwatch stopped, your sandals knocked off and experience an oral orgasm. You won't regret it and your gut will thank you.
(5)Tania H.
Amazing dinner. We started with cape coral bread loaded with crab meat, tomatoes, and basil . Then a buttery lobster bisque and herbaceous clam chowder. The lobster tail was steamed to sweet perfection with a side of fingerling potatoes and salad. One person had the lobster roll and it was good, but disappointing due to served on a piece of toast and small. We are used to having in a buttery roll. They had a huge counter of fresh fish to take home for another day. Totally worth the trip and fun casual setting with multiple live lobster tanks.
(4)Cherylyn M.
Had a craving for lobster and decided to treat my house guests. I called several of the area's fish markets and Lobster Lady won hands down for the best price for live lobsters. Being very impressed with the quality and price I could not wait to visit the restaurant/market and treat myself to a meal and possibly purchase some fresh fish. Upon arrival at lunch time the place seemed to be packed. No one was there to help in the seating. we all stood in line for several minutes and still no one arrived to seat us.....as I was waiting I started to glance around and check out what people were already eating at the tables that were close to us and than I found a menu to look at. I am very conscience as to what I eat. Fast food and food that are deep fried are definitely something I do not need in my body. Each and every table I checked out had deep fat fried fish and tons of French fried potato's. More time passed and the line still was not moving nor was there anyone to seat us, I decided that it was time my friends and I should leave. However; since I did feel that the lobster I purchased prior was a good experience I felt that I should give this restaurant another chance and a couple weeks later I decided that I wanted to purchase fresh fish to cook at home for dinner that night so I once again ventured into the restaurant around the same time as the prior visit, but this time the place was empty and so was the display case choices for my fresh fish...I ended up taking a short ride to Pine Island where I knew I could get a very fresh piece of fish off the morning boats.
(2)Hugh B.
Food was fresh and nicely prepared. I don't they will survive in the long run. Staff appears very poorly trained. They are new in town and are enjoying the lack of nearby fresh seafood but I do 't seem them improving.
(3)Terry H.
My wife and I were visiting with my mom who'd been ill. Actually, we went there for lunch and then told my mom we thought the food was very good. She was excited to give ti a try. It was the first time she was interested in going out to eat for months. We all found the food excellent. I disagree with Patti M regarding the lobster roll. Mine was very tasty and flavorful. I'd rate five stars if the seating were better and not as noisy.
(4)Richard R.
Fish tacos buffaloed were great. Wife had the lobster at a reasonable price with no complaints. Staff were helpful. Had to wait a while for a table but that's not their fault.
(5)Ken S.
Outstanding food, price and service! Our new favorite restaurant in Cape Coral. Unpretentious but inviting decor. Clean, well-appointed Seafood Market (minus the normal Seafood Market odor) adjacent to small, but reasonably comfortable dining area. This is a true Mom 'N' Pop local restaurant representing the best of that genre - interesting menu backed up by fresh ingredients, attentive and friendly wait service, and ownership which apparently wants its customers to have an exceptional dining experience. The Lobster Roll is definitely the best we've had in Southwest Florida, and while we didn't have the house specialty - live lobster of varying sizes that you pick yourself from a tank and have steamed - we saw many people around us who did and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. All this and a check that doesn't put a huge dent in your credit card account. Only one caveat - it's already been discovered by many and there was an hour wait (in the middle of July in SW Florida!). But it's worth the wait.
(5)Maggie H.
Very fresh and full of flavor! As a New Orleanian...good food is hard to find in SW FL
(5)Jennifer F.
Sat on the outside patio for dinner, had the mahi BLTA sandwich, great sandwich but thought the prices were a little high.
(4)betsy s.
If I could eat here everyday of my Life I would. I have never been disappointed in anything I've ordered. The lobster roll is what dreams are made of. For such a simple thing it seems so hard to find a place that has a great lobster roll. Now we have the lobster lady. The staff is always sweet and accommodating even though it can get insane in there at dinner being such a small place that's always on a wait. Except to wait for a table and try the sweet potato fries.
(5)Lazaro P.
This place deserves 6 stars GREAT food GREAT service. If your ever in Naples do yourself a favor come to this place.
(5)Michael R.
Another great place found here on Yelp. Two of us went here on a busy Saturday night at 7:30 pm and basically got the last table outside as inside tables were full with a 40 minute wait time. Had the Conch fritters as recommended & they were so darn good....A MUST HAVE!! A couple oyster shots & an excellent small Caesar salad we shared to start. Could decide on fish or scallops so we opted to have lobster instead. I asked about the fresh ones that are kept live in their tanks and I wanted a lobster big enough to share versus just ordering two lobster tail dinners. This was a better choice as we got a big 3 1/2 lb whole Maine lobster with the huge claws taken fresh out of the tanks to the steamer. Lobster tail dinner will run $35 but our biggie to share was $59 A bottle of house Chardonnay ran $17 to compliment the meal. Needless to say........everything was done right and tasted great. The service was excellent with frequent visits to the table. All of our items came to the table without any kind of unnecessary delay. Go here for lobster or a really good seafood dinner but be prepared to wait for a table during busy times. I'm coming back and forgetting about going back to other places I was going before in Cape Coral. This place is a GEM.
(5)Edwin A.
Food was excellent. Only thing holding this gem back is service. No one should ever have to wait 8 minutes once seated before being greeted and asked what can I get you to drink imho.... I ordered the lobster roll smaller than I anticipated but awesome on taste. My wife ordered the salmon Benedict. Amazing as well.
(4)Nancy S.
Stopped in for lunch & had the Lobster Roll. I thought it would be more than just lobster on a roll, but it was still very good. The grilled zucchini was excellent, fresh & still a little crispy. The sweet potato fries we awesome! My husband had the Patty Melt which was great. A good sized patty cooked perfect on good rye bread that didn't get soggy from grease.
(5)K.T. P.
Nothing short of an exceptional dining experience. The service is excellent. Food preparation and presentation spot on. Enjoy a memorable dining experience at Lobster Lady.
(5)Gerald T.
We had dinner there on the spur of the moment because we stopped, while in the neighborhood, to pick up a gift Certificate for friends about to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They had raved about the meal (lobster, in particular).We decided to have dinner. We Lived many years in New England and can guarantee we had Cold water, New England lobster, unlike what a few reviewers claimed they did not. I had both a steak filet and lobster tail. My wife had lobster. we had mussels as an appetizer, and they were the genuine PE island issue. The service was prompt, courteous and the food was delivered promptly, along with a decent bottle of wine costing $10.00 ( the Wednesday night special). I read some of the negative reviews of this restaurant and maintain that they were written by: 1. People who don't get out often 2. Were at a different restaurant 3. Or who have dead taste buds Not only was the main course great, but the sides exceptionally seasoned.
(5)Jeysa P.
I'm really torn in writing this review. I really liked Lobster Lady and will definitely return but I had a bad experience and I feel I need to share it with my yelp peeps. My family and I went to this restaurant and I absolutely loved it! You immediately turn your attention to the 3 big screens on the wall projecting all the different games going on, the small cute bar with fun beers, the big tanks of live lobster and fun atmosphere. We sat down and ordered drinks, appetizers and dinner. The food was amazing! The seafood is fresh and delicious. Some of our favorites items were the oysters, lobster bisque, stuffed crab avocados & King Crab legs - so yummy. Here's where our experience took a turn. After we ate, we asked for a small box to take some of the leftovers home and when I picked up the plate a cockroach came crawling on the table. Eiiiiw! I jumped up and the waitress came and killed it with my knife and put in on a plate. She went to the back and I got up and asked for the manager. I explained the situation to him and he said he was sorry and turned to make a phone call. After waiting for about 5 minutes, he comes over and apologizes and tells us the check is completely on them. I felt bad because the food was amazing and so was the service, but that just turned our entire dinner experience sour. We did not take the leftovers home but we will definitely return. It's such a fun local spot in which my family goes to all the time - I will definitely return when I am back in town.
(4)Melissa G.
Came here on a Tuesday around 8 pm and the place was packed! Didn't think to call in a reservation because I figured the walking dead ate dinner around 4 and the rush would be over. The wait was 30 minutes, so we put our name on the list, grabbed some wine from the bar, and parked ourselves on a bench outside. Ten minutes later we were seated. We ordered oysters to start and they were outstanding! My date had the Chilean sea bass and I had the bacon wrapped salmon. Both were really good, but I liked my entree better. Ordered it with a side of potato salad and vegetable medley - delicious! If you order a salad, you MUST try their raspberry vinaigrette - the best I've personally ever had! Watch out for the monster lobsters in the tanks. There was one so ginormous, I thought it was going to climb out and take over for the lady playing live music!
(5)Miriam P.
We visited Lobster Lady on a recent vacation in Cape Coral. We had a long wait but it was well worth it. I ordered the crab stuffed avocado appetizer and it was AMAZING!! My husband had the ribs and crab legs, which I shared, and he said the ribs were great. Others in our party ordered bacon wrapped salmon and spinach and artichoke grouper and they loved them. We tried the sea salt caramel cheesecake for dessert and it was wonderful!
(5)Chris E.
We have been there several times and have never been disappointed with the food or service. Portions are big enough that you'll need to take some home. Only drawbacks are long waiting time to get in, small restaurant, not the greatest atmosphere and a little pricey. Overall good restaurant so we will be back.
(3)Benny F.
While busting Cape Coral, everyone kept telling me to come to this place. Between Yelp and my friends, all positive reviews, so we decided to see for ourselves. Well add another positive review! The food was so fresh and full of flavor. My wife convinced me to order 3 appetizers and the Lobster Bisque soup. Thank goodness we did not order more or you would have to rolled us out the place! Our waitress Kacey was incredible and very helpful with what to choose and what to see in the area. We had the Conch Fritter, Salmon dip, Crap stuffed avocados & lobster bisque! Wow, so much food we never had a chance to try the entrees which looked amazing as well. However there is always room for dessert and we hand the Sea Salted Caramel Cheesecake, a must! We will definitely be back to try more things. Don't miss this place.
(5)Spirited L.
One of the best meals I ever had. You must try the lobster ravioli and the blackened sea bass. The service was awesome also!
(5)Vincent T.
On a very rainy Saturday night we decided to give the Lobster Lady a try - but I think the rest of Cape Coral had the same idea. Arrived there at 5.30pm and were told there was an hour wait. Figured that with this kind of wait even in season, this restaurant must be doing something right - and I was correct. Although we put our name in for a table we ended up sitting at the bar close to the hostess stand - which we had no problem doing. The menu is quite extensive and offers a lot of choices. We ordered the salmon cigar app which came out in acceptable time - and it was really good. Could tell the salmon was very fresh. Although there was a lot of activity around the hostess stand with lots of less than patient customers, the hostess and the rest of the staff was handling the situation beautifully. The wait on tables went to 1 hour 15 minutes - when one guy went up to the hostess stand and said it was his wife's birthday which I guess he thought would get him some kind of priority status ....wife and myself figured he must be from Naples! I ordered the bacon wrapped salmon and my wife had the ribeye steak. Both dishes were excellent .....and totally deserving on five stars except for a coupe of little things. One was that there was too much parmesan cheese on my plate - the potato medley had lots of the parm cheese - and also my spinach also had too much cheese. The second issue was my usual problem with most restaurants - the food was JUST hot enough when it was served - but as the plates were barely warm so the food did lose it's temperature pretty quickly. Again, not sure why restaurants can't serve food on hot plates - just like Ruth Chris? The two girls serving the bar area, Jennifer and Kacey, although all the time being under pressure were truly great and totally professional at their job. Both were very knowledgeable on both the menu and the wine selection and offered welcome suggestions to us in both. Good food, good service and good price - we will be back next time we are in the Cape

Family ordered two tower appetizers for 6. Excellent and fresh plenty of food. Sangria was decent also. Reservations recommended or u will wait.
