We live around the block and didn’t know it was closing. Would have gone for one last meal! We’ll miss you so much, Lobster Joint!
Noooooo!!!!!!!! Terrible news!!!!!
Noooooo! Loved Lobster Joint. Where am I going to get fish & chips now?
Very good place, nice staff. I use to joke with them when they opened the only time a saw a lobster before they opened was a dead one in Newtown Creek. However, like the owner said, rising everything was too much. The prices kept going up and my group of friends stopped going. They made a great linguini in clam sauce.

Very sad, we loved going to this place. Great atmosphere and food, was a summer tradition. Wish the owner the best in his future endeavors.
