Amazing Lobster
The lobsters were amazing. The ordering online was super easy. Highly recommended.
All was super with the process, short on expectations!
All was super with the process. One lobster was perfect, probably a bit over 2.5 pounds; the other was less than 2 pounds and close to a soft shell lobster: not a hard shell! Very tasty; but not what I ordered.
Awesome fresh lobster 🦞
Great price for whole fresh live lobster but shipping was expensive
received exactly what I ordered in…
received exactly what I ordered in great shape, on time, with healthy live lobsters.
Couple that with the ease of ordering online and at fair prices and you've got a winning combination to rely on.
thanks
New England great in Florida
We are from New England, and were visiting my folks in Florida for the Holiday weekend. They haven’t had lobster since they moved five years ago. Our order arrived as schedule, all of our lobsters were alive and some of the sweetest lobster we’ve had! We will definitely be ordering again!
Family Reunion Lobster Boil!
Bought two boat run boxes for our family vacation in the Outer Banks. The lobsters arrived on time, perfectly packed, and fresh. We had a lobster boil for 40 people and the next day had lobster rolls (New England style). Lobster Online was easy to do business with and delivered a great product!
Received 1 dead and 1 alive
Received 1 dead and 1 alive. They refunded $23, so I ended up paying $80 for 1 lobster. Great….

Best lobster i've ever eaten!!
ordering and delivery were super easy, delivery was perfect, the order was complete and everything was delicious!! This is the place to go if you don't mind not driving for x amount of miles, the store not having what you wanted then driving back home!!
Delicious!

Delivered alive and on time! The bugs were delicious. Had a couple lobster first timers and they totally enjoyed the experience.
Until the next time 😃😃
I’ll be a repeat customer
Prompt shipping. Package arrived early afternoon in plenty of time for dinner. Lobsters (2 lb) were delicious.
Lobsters were large and fantastic
The lobsters were delivered on time( one corner of the box took a hit).
They were fantastic!!

This company sends the best lobster ever. The meal is a great value. Everything is super fresh, still alive or frozen very tasty.
Jennifer Martin
Jennifer Martin. Since this was a big order for me (30 pound boat run box), I contacted her several times to better understand what I would get, how to get it on time for 4th of July, and how to store the lobsters overnight. Her responses were timely and informative and I am not sure I would have closed the deal without her guidance. The lobsters were terrrific - an abundant number of feisty, good sized specimens - and I would do this again for a big party.
Well we thought that we got a good boat…
Well we thought that we got a good boat run 20lb box fast shipping at a fair price and then it showed up the box was taped up looked like it had been torn open the side of the foam cooler box inside was cracked no plastic liner the lobsterwere alive and cool the box all together only weight 22lbs so I couldn't tell if any was missing but there was 13 live lobsters still in there, total order was about 500. Dollars, so I might order agian but recommend with how my shipment was handled , not, and you took your time getting around to survaing us, should been within days after delivery.
