    Apart from the many burger places popping up everywhere, this one is actually quite good. Only 3 items on the menu: burger, lobster & lobster roll. I had the lobster and it was excellent value for £££

    Fresh, tasty, trendy and absolutely sensational. Spot on for cracking claws. Three choices here: lobsters, lobster rolls and lobster burgers. Go with the big boy, you won't regret it.

    Whether you go for the lobster roll or the whole lobster, with chips and beer you will not be disappointed, managing to keep the lobster meat moist. Service tends to be better out of peak lunch hours

    Lovely! Great burger AND lobster! Prefer the grilled lobster instead of the steamed one, makes all the difference. Ask for truffle mayonnaise on the side, absolutely divine!!! 😍

    Can't prebook a table so leave you name and take a seat at the bar. Enjoy a few cocktails and the time soon passes! Lovely friendly staff. Wouldn't bother with the brioche roll - it's tiny!

    Grilled lobster was cooked well and comes with chips, salad and sauce. Not sure what the sauce was but it had a good flavour and went well with the lobster. Love the aprons they give you aswell :)

    Three meal choices (all at £20): full lobster (steamed or grilled); lobster roll; or beef burger. Definitely go for the first one! Good selection of drinks. Great atmosphere. Ranks well, may return.

    The best idea and place of the world! The italian waitress was super nice and the food is amazing. Only 3 dishes in the menu, try to have a bit of everything.

    First, you have to line up to get a table (about 15 mins); the staff will jot down your name & some personal characteristics so that you could come back later (30-40 mins) to claim your table. Tasty!

    Booths at the back are the best seats for a group. Good cocktails, good service and only 3 things on the menu: Lobster meat in a brioche sandwich, High end Burger and Pre-cracked lobster and fries.

    I tried lobster burger and regular lobster. Both were fantastic. Fried shrimp with special sauce was also delicious. Give this place a chance. try to be served by Italian waitress, she's awesome

    Absolutely awesome food. Considering the lobster is mass produced it still tastes quality. A brilliant burger that satisfies n cold lobster sandwich also sublime. 3 things on menu. Doesn't need more

    The name says it all, it is either lobster or burger. They'll try to fill you up on drinks before eating. Lobsters are a lot of work to eat and if you are hungry you better go for a burger!!

    My burger was great and the fried calamari side was also very good. I would suggest the lobster as well though, I personally could not try it for myself, but my companions said it was delicious.

    Fantastic burger and lobster if there are an even number of you going make sure one gets the burger and the other lobster (grilled) then you can have the best of both worlds!

    If you can't make up your mind, go for the combo - a burger, half of lobster steamed, half of lobster fried, plus it comes with chips and salad. Have truffle mayo for even better experience.

    Do the 2 person special. £30 and you and one other get a Burger and share 1 lobster or lobster roll. Also, you get a desert! -- if you get confused, ask Charlotte. We received great service!

    Although the Soho location is my favorite, you can hit up Burger & Lobster in Mayfair, and the new location in Farringdon. No reservations; they keep it simple and delicious! Tweet @LondonLobster!

    The lobster was quite nice, but can't be compared with those I had in Boston. Friendly staff, good service. And I like the side salad!

    Food. Price. Ambience. Personal Service. Space. Staff. Place. Crowd. It is indeed one of the better GEMS in the London food scene... It's all worth the one hour wait... Happy "lobstering".. :-)

    A heaven for anyone loves creamy and cheesy grilled lobsters. Burgers are well cooked and plentiful. Prices are around £20-25 per dish

    If you go with a big group, order the bigger lobster to share. It's extra tasty and you get free flow fries and salad!

    If there's a long wait, ask if you can eat at the bar. We were faced with a 1hr wait but the bouncer found us a couple of bar seats and we were eating within 15 minutes. £20 for a whole lobster!!

    Lobster here is a must. They served in Steamed and Grilled. I prefer the Steamed 1. Apart from food, they served nice drinks too.. beers, wines and cocktails!

    All they sell is lobster and lobster burger, so don't come here expecting a bulky menu. Food is good though, shame it's so packed with people all the time - have to get there early or book in advance.

    Excellent lobster roll and amazing burger. Love the concept. Wait was a bit crazy but inspired me to book a table for a dinner a few days later and it was incredible. Love the focus.

    The lobster grilled is yummy. So us the lobster roll. Burger is good but not sure it's worth the money. The cocktails are also good, The Dean st location takes bookings for parties larger than 6!

    The wait was 45 minutes but WELL worth it. Our waiter was awesome and two of us tried all 3 items. It is a must. The lobster roll was the best of the 3. YUM!

    Clearly it's all about the lobster - £20 for a burger is a little steep. The cocktails are good although my all time fav the Thai Batida was culled. Staff are great.

    Delicious, delicious lobsters and great cocktails. Go for the lobster (obviously)--the £20 price tag is pretty steep for burgers and small-ish lobster rolls

    The lobster tastes good but make sure you order something else it won't fill you up you'll get hungry an hour after eating it.

    Not sure I'd part with twenty English pounds for a burger no matter how good but the lobster was a bargain! If there's a long wait for a table and there's only two of you, ask to eat at the bar.

    The wait was 30 minutes even though we had a reservation. My friends got the grilled lobster while I got the lobster roll. Both were delicious but the star is the butter sauce they served! 🙌🙌
