Amazed how such great tasting food can be produced from such a little shack. Hats off to the staff who were working incredibly hard. When we were there, there was a long queue (word has spread about how good it is) and waiting times were growing. We didn't mind, we just sat in the sun taking in the view until... More

Not sure if we even liked Lobster, we opted for fish and chips and 1/2 Lobster and chips. We got the right gadgets to attack the lobster which was very tasty, although a 1/2 lobster at £11 didn't have much meat. The fish was absolutely lovely with a crisp breadcrumb coating and melt in your mouth fresh from the ocean...can't... More

Was here about a year ago, first time visited, had the half lobster with chips (around 8 quid if memory serves me right) and it was fine. Reason I'm giving this 3/5 is that a) although nice, it was nothing extraordinary, and b) picking the meat out of the lobster without proper utensils is hell, and the only utensils we... More

Decided to have mussels and tried to order. No chance --- they are up at the hotel said one young guy, no idea when we will have them. The breaded fish looked unappetising so I beat a hasty retreat. A complete waste of time in my experience.

My wife and I lunched here on a lovely sunny September days. It was a bit blowy but that didn't stop us enjoying some wonderful hake & chips from the Lobster Shack. It's a great little place - highly recommended.

What a great experience it was to be sitting overlooking the harbour and have served up in a box a range of fresh local fish, including a delicious lobster, with the standard crunchy chips. Quite unique...we will be back

We visited the Lobster Shack during North Berwick's Fringe by the Sea festival in August. It's situated at the harbour and on that busy Friday night there were many folks queuing up to enjoy a bit of seafood by the sea! Hubby and I both plumped for the half lobster and chips. The order took about 30 minutes which felt... More

Is there anything better than Lobster & Chips on a sunny Sunday in North Berwick? I think not. Go there, enjoy and go back - even if it's raining. Location to die for. Atmosphere is brill and the food is just as it ought to be. Brill.

My wife and I have just visited this place for the third time, and we've yet to taste the food. The first couple of times it was closed. However because it was such a nice day we decided to take the hour long journey from the city and enjoy some fresh seafood, with our fingers crossed it wouldn't be closed... More
