"What’s something you really want? The power to turn back time? Soda in the drinking fountain? Tamagotchis to be cool again? For us, we really want to like Da Lobsta. But it’s not Halloween, we can’t just be pimps from Oakland or cowboys from Arizona. Some things aren't meant to be. Try as we may to like Da Lobsta, it’s not good. And it pains us to say that for a number of reasons. Everything about it is so d*mn likeable, except for the food. Lobster rolls almost always sound delicious, and Da Lobsta always sounds like the perfect place to stop for a casual and quick bite. The staff is friendly, including an owner who is often around and helpful. And I once had a great conversation with the cashier over our mutual hatred of Brett Favre. It wasn’t one of those annoying sports conversations either - we really had something, a connection. But no matter how hard we focus on these positives, it doesn’t make up for sh*tty lobster rolls. The lobster is rubbery, it's over-seasoned with too much mayo, and we've bitten into shells more than once - a crime that can't be forgiven. Lobster rolls with a twist sound exciting, but they never actually are. Asian lobster roll? Nope. Mexican? Eh. Greek, Indian, Surf & Turf - on and on it goes. Nothing ever seems to work, which is why we are finally ready to let this dream world go." - Sam Faye
