Lobster Pot Restaurant 5157 Ocean Boulevard, Sarasota, FL 34242

"Lobster bisque with extra chunks 10/10! Maybe could be a little hotter but tasted great, very rich! Cesar salad was fresh! Duchess lobster was excellent but I would split next time! The stuffing inside was rich and decedent. Coleslaw was delicious! Lobster Mac n cheese tasted off, it was a orange sauce that had an off cheesy taste, like a mix of Mac n cheese and Alfredo; the plus was tons of lobster chunks, we left the pasta behind, 1/10. Very tight seating, slightly uncomfortable. Overall rating, 9/10, we wanted to try EVERYTHING on the menu! We will return."

"Had a wonderful lunch today! Great service, ambiance and location. We had the salmon Florentine and mahi sandwich. Everything was super fresh and delicious. Had the lobster bisque and clam chowder and both were outstanding!"

"Food was okay. Ordered King Crab which was high in price compared to other places but assuming it was high due to being in a tourist area. Sides were rice and veggies, both were not really edible. For the $80 plus I spent on my meal, I would expect better sides. Cornbread was the highlight of my meal. But it was really good cornbread! My husband loved the Lobster Bisque Soup but even after spending $5 for extra lobster, still not very much in the soup. We did get a crab dip for an appetizer and that was delicious! It was a new place to try, but for the prices, I probably wouldn’t go back."

"The Maine lobster tail was awesome! People we were with ordered lobster bisque with big chunks of lobster on the top which they say was some of the best bisque they tasted. I'm not a big bisque fan, so it was just ok to me. A good place in the south to go for northern lobster!"

"We really enjoyed everything about our meal. The fried clams were the best I’d had in ages and my husband had the salmon Monte Carlo that they switched out rice instead of pasta for him no problem. Delicious! And portions were generous enough for leftovers. Service was great. Not crowded on a Monday evening at 5:30. There are windows on the street side that were open until it got chilly. So good we’re going back for his birthday! Can’t believe we’ve lived here 20 years and always overlooked this gem. By the way, if you’re early and on a weekday there is a free municipal lot behind the restaurant. Otherwise it’s hit or miss on street parking or pay $7 an hour to park next to the restaurant."
