Lobster Place

Tasty lobster and crab boils. Seasoning is a bit salty for my liking. Too many potatoes in the boil. Very reasonable pricing.

Decent food at a reasonable price point. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster—it didn't taste very fresh and had the texture of something that had been previously frozen. Everything else was fine, but I’d probably skip the lobster next time

Honestly the lobster rolls are really small for the price they charge. 4oz for $28. Meat was really firm and well sessoned. The lobster bisque is nothing mindblowing to be honest. Oysters were fresh. But we cant really tell the different between each grading.

The Lobster Place is a spot I’ve circled back to for years. A great stop in the center of the action inside Chelsea Market.<br><br>Popped in on a Monday this time—less crowded, easier to settle in and actually enjoy it.<br><br>Lobster roll and fries, no need to complicate it. Fresh lobster, lightly dressed, warm roll, everything in balance.<br><br>Sat for a bit, people watched and enjoyed.

Stopped by this lobster spot after visiting the High Line and were pleasantly surprised by both the service and the quality of the food. We started with a few oysters—absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. Then we had the steamed lobster with fries, which was just excellent.<br><br>It can get quite busy, and finding a seat might be a bit of a challenge during peak times, but it’s definitely worth it. The lobster is on the pricier side, but even the small one was more than enough for two people to try and enjoy. Overall, a really great experience.

Hands down a must visit for all of your seafood needs!!<br>I was too engulfed by the food I forgot to take more photos, basically the food was finished then I remembered to take photos 😂.<br>Another spot added for my future NY trips 🙌<br>Do yourself a favor and try all of the oyster options, lobster roll 😌, sea urchin and smashed salmon burger 🤤

If you’re finishing a walk on the High Line, this is the perfect pit stop. It’s located right at the end of the park inside Chelsea Market—pro tip: enter through the High Line side door to save yourself a trek through the main market crowds!<br>The Food<br>The quality here is top-tier. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the freshness justifies the splurge.<br>• The Lobster Roll: A total standout and an absolute must-order.<br>• Whole Lobster: Sweet, fresh, and perfectly prepared.<br>• Oysters: They have a fantastic selection from across the East Coast. The ones we tried were incredibly clean and briny.<br>The Experience<br>We visited on a Sunday in the late afternoon. Despite it being a weekend, the line moved quickly:<br>• Wait to order: Minimal.<br>• Food prep time: About 10 minutes.<br>Bottom Line: It’s a great spot for a group of friends to share a spread. It’s busy and a little pricey, but for the location and the quality of the catch, it’s a classic NYC experience I’d definitely recommend.

Tried the oysters here and they were super fresh. The place is clean, and ordering is fast and easy. No tipping needed, and you can pick different types of oysters.<br><br>Prices are a bit high though. It is fine for a quick snack, but it can get pretty expensive if you are trying to fill up.

Absolutely a hit and delicious seafood market at Chelsea Market. Came here for lunch and enjoyed our entire experience and meal. Lobster options are plentiful. We debated between a lobster roll or steamed lobster and opted for the latter. Also got a shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque soup, and a cold refreshing brewskie.<br>Meal was heavenly and service was friendly as well.<br>Tip: come when they open or you will be waiting in a long line.<br><br>5 stars for Lobster Place and two thumbs up!<br>Thank you!
