Had the fish and chips and the lobster roll. The fish and chips were greasy and slightly over fried. They used Spanish mackerel, which is already an oily fish in their fish and chips, so it gave a greasy aftertaste.
On the bright side, the lobster roll had generous amounts of lobster. It was sweet and tasted fresh. It was value for money in my opinion.
They were also awfully generous with their chips.

The seafood platter that was upgraded by $30 so we had 2 halves of a lobster cost $166 but it was well worth it. Fresh, excellent condiments, great non greasy deep fried and sour octopus all went well together. Accompanied by a bottle of good white wine and looking out onto the ocean makes this a beautiful experience. I didn’t know I needed this in my bucket list!😀

Fish and chips were really greasy and the chips were limp and soggy and cold.
Lobster in the lobster roll was generous but dry which is such a shame.
Ham and cheese toaster was absolutely soaking in butter. It was dripping in oil and so salty. Omg. It was inedible to me.
We went at about 2pm and the food took about 45 minutes to arrive.
It is a nice place for a meal with the patio overlooking the ocean which was beautiful and the saving grace. But the food really isn't for me.

Great Fish n Chips.. even better Lobster!
Came here with the tour, and we got Fish n Chips for our lunch package. With an option to upgrade to lobster lunch for additional AUD25.
We ordered two meals of these, and it didn’t disappoint! The lobster tastes so fresh, juicy and delicious.
The place is being renovated at the moment we visited, so it looks a bit shabby on the inside, but after it’s completed I guess it will be a great open space with ocean view.
Great lunch!

From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. We ordered the seafood platers, everything was cooked to perfection. The ingredients were clearly fresh, and each dish was bursting with flavor. The lobster was tender and buttery, the fish taco were melt-in-your-mouth soft, and had just the right balance of spice.
If you're a seafood lover, this place is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back!

Neat place to get your seafood fix. Friendly staff. Italian manager was very sweet...tell her buongiorno for me!
When you arrive. Find a table and get the number (on the bucket), line up to order food, pay at the counter. Continue down the line for your drink order. Self service water, hot water also available.
Recommend the chowder, bread was delicious. Lobster meat in roll slightly tough and dry. Oysters both cooked (with bacon) and raw were yummy.
Protip: dip your lobster roll into clam chowder

Second time at the Lobster shack and its still just as good as the first time. Ordered two medium Lobsters that were incredibly fresh and tasty. Nice selection of drinks and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely a 'must do' if you're in Cervantes.

We visited the Lobster Shack for Easter Sunday lunch and had an amazing experience. Even though it was really busy, the staff handled everything so well, friendly, efficient, and always smiling. The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and lobsters perfectly cooked. We especially loved the grilled lobster and the lobster roll. Great atmosphere, beautiful setting. Highly recommend.

Buy lobster & eat lobster from this local seafood icon. Its self serve. Clean & tidy. System works for large numbers of guests. Loster grilled with butter, fried in garlic sauce and pan fried abalone. Self serve. Retail lobster tails also available.

It's around 2 hours away from Perth CBD, located close to the Pinnacles. It's full of tourist because of the location.
The setup of the location is very simple.
The staff are friendly, the lobster that we ordered and the grilled fish and chips are very good. The lobster is very fresh!
I would return to this place again if we are heading to Pinnacles if not it's not worth the drive at all.

Lobster special and BBQ abalone both tasted very fresh. Tour of the factory was also nice.

Lobster! Who DOESN'T like it?
So after a few hours today getting lost walking around taking goofy photos in The Pinnacles we ended up at this place by chance. We were filling up on fuel at the service station just off Cervantes Road (we were running on empty) and asked about places that were recommended for lunch.
After hearing of a certain "Lobster Shack" our taste buds were definitely starting to anticipate the meal ahead. On initial impression it seems as if you are in the wrong place as it appears to be more of a factory when you first arrive. Braving the unknown to tame our rumbling bellies we carried on through the car park and located the hidden "shack" of lobster goodness.
The setting is quite cool and has PLENTY of shaded seating. It is a easy as choosing a deal from the shop nearby and then handing your ticket to the chef in the "shack" who cooks up your FRESH Lobster dish.
We opted for the "Jumbo" meal which is a special they are currently running. This included 1/2 a monstrous Lobster, 3 * lobster and seafood medallions, 4 * battered fish pieces, hand cut chips and a small salad for $65 all up.
This has probably got to be the BEST/FRESHEST Lobster I have ever had. Big call I know but if you doubt me try it for yourself. Money value seems pretty decent too.
Because this "shack" backs onto the factory (tours available) were the Lobsters are processed it is even possible to buy live or/and frozen lobsters to take home with you to try your hand at cooking.
TIP: Live Lobsters require drowning OBVIOUSLY so don't get one if your not comfortable with that kind of preparation work before cooking. Frozen is still okay and eskies and ice/gel packs are also available.

Ordered, paid for 3 lunches, got cutlery ceramic cups water bottle serviettes salt beside door. No trays provided. Walked out with hands full. Saw family sitting on same level I was on. Caught foot on anti slip bar fixed to step I did not see. There are 2 steps down to open area and 2 steps up to where family were sitting, there are warning signs visible. I went down, bottle smashed, ceramic cups in right hand broke. I landed on the 2 steps up to where my family were. Hand went through ceramic glasses and shredded my right index finger, broke the knuckle and cut the tendon. Staff ran to my assistance. They helped me up. Even before first aid box appeared they were cleaning up the glass and washing all the blood away. I was in shock. Chap from their boats with first aid training wrapped up my hand and suggested not to go to emergency room close by but to a hospital. They could not wait to get us out the door. Our expensive lunch was put into a "hot bag" and it was suggested we get going ASAP as I was bleeding heavily. Never got to eat any food. They had cleaned up and got rid of us so fast when I was going out the door you'd swear nothing had happened. I am now stitched up after an operation and in a cast. It took over 2 hours to get to jundaloop medical centre and the back of the car was covered in blood. My Australian holiday of a lifetime is now destroyed as is my families. I have to keep going back to hospital for treatment and cannot do the things I intended to. Don't go there.

A breathtaking sea view, fresh food, super friendly and efficient service! Great family atmosphere, pet friendly and the Sea Lions tour is the icing on the cake!

Drove for two hours over the recent long weekend just for this.... and i am not joking. Of course to make the wife and the kids willing parties to the trip, I had to sweeten the deal with visits to the sand dunes (aka pile of sand) and The Pinnacles (aka pile of strange looking rocks). :D Whereas there was ever only one thing and one thing only that i was aiming for. LOBSTERS!!
Well, the long and short if it.. . it's ok. Food wasn't bad, but just not worth having to travel 2 hours for. We ordered a few serving of fish and chips and lobsters. The seafood were very fresh in general- The lobsters were cooked just right, and at $38 for a medium sized half, were within reason. However the fish and chips were too pricey for just a tiny portion.
The next time I have a lobster sized craving, I may look for somewhere nearer to home before contemplating the 2 hour drive - perhaps this is the reason more than 80% of patrons there were tourists :)

Very terrible experience at this restaurant soooo expensive got my orders wrong, twice no less. No air conditioning provided and you cannot bring your own wine... Just a place ripping off Chinese tourists
