I ordered the seafood salad with crab and lobster. Absolutely delicious, the crab and lobster were sweet and fresh. The dressing tasted like a cross between French and thousand 1000. It complimented the salad perfectly. I also enjoyed a small cup of clam chowder it was full of delicious seafood that was perfect, and not to thick just the right consistency. Prices suited the quality and freshness of ingredients. I will definitely be returning for lunch soon.
Just like out East. Seriously. Probably the best lobster roll I've had since being out east; regardless of price point, etc. So good that I've contemplated driving the couple hours down from LA just to get a roll. If you live in the area and haven't patronized this gem, please do yourself a favor and get there now!

Blue Cheese cole slaw, New England baked beans, Lobster Bisque, NE Clam Chowder, and The Special Trio combo. Wow, man, WOW! Everything was delicious...
This is our first time going to San Clemente! We found this small shop and LOVED it!!! The owner and staff were all so friendly! Their rolls and soup are flavorful but not heavy. Blue cheese coleslaw is special. Usually I don't like stuff with blue cheese, but it highlights the other flavors in this dish. Owner came and talked to us and asked how we liked the food and explained to us how they make it. Another staff also gave us a soup tasting...
Wow what a little gem! Looking for a place to have some delicious lobster and the Lobster Shack did not disappoint. We ordered the trio, It comes with 3 rolls. The lobster roll, crab roll and shrimp roll. Plus 4 sides. The flavor, texture and meatiness or the lobster was on point. The seafood was cooked to perfection and the crispy buttery rolls made the sandwiches over the top! We will definitely be making the drive from Buena Park to San Clemente to eat at this addictive little shack with the high quality food that we enjoyed every bite of...
