Big Mac & Little Lu's Seafood

I ordered a cup of clam chowder and a lobster roll. The lobster was cooked perfectly with a generous portion layered on a soft toasted bun. Unfortunately, the soup was not so good, it was very thick and lukewarm with too many potatoes. Service was great, very pleasant and my friends enjoyed their meals.

What a gem of a restaurant! We love supporting family owned restaurants and this one is exceptional! They also have a seafood market where you can purchase a huge variety of fresh fish and shellfish that you never see in any other stores. We began with crab cakes and then moved on to mussels with garlic white wine sauce and a lobster roll with whale chips. Everything was perfectly prepared and tasted delicious! Service was prompt and friendly. The restaurant lighting is nice, soft...unlike the harsh, too bright lighting of many other restaurants these days. Our only suggestion for the ambience is to play something other than country music: maybe yacht rock (to match the feel of the nautical vibe), classic rock, or maybe even alternative/indie rock. We will definitely be back soon!!

We saw this restaurant on Fried, Fresh and Crispy and wanted to check it out. The service was fast and attentive. The nautical atmosphere was delightful. And the food was superb. I had the signature Almond Crusted Hogfish and it was well worth it.

Let me tell you. This place was incredible. The owner, Paul, was a business friend of my father’s and was able to take a massive hog fish out of the case and show us. Amanda, and the other girls that were working there were so friendly and helpful. Fresh fish flown in from Florida every day. Small-ish inside but still an amazing dining experience. Tons of artwork on the wall from the fish, she’s caught with his kids to scuba pictures, it’s just really a sight to see in a place to be. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Also the BREAD PUDDING IS TO DIE FOR.

Great food as always. Our server was very nice. Jack and Jill shrimp was fried just right and great in the white sauce they give with it. The raw oysters that were on Sunday special were very fresh. Got the brown bag swordfish. Will say the jerk sauce is NOT for everyone. It is pretty spicy but delicious. The rice and Brussel sprouts are perfect sides. Never got a steak here before this but the tenderloin was amazing! Cut like butter and had amazing flavor. The king crab was sweet and meaty. Thank you big mac and little lu for always giving us a good time when we come to visit ❤️

Good food, server was average. Cute unique place in Colorado for seafood. One of us split the Surf and Turf with steak and king crab. Steak was cooked great but the snow crab would have had more flavor. Pasta was great. Huge portion. Took some home. Fish and chips was GREAT! Get the calamari! Skip the bread pudding. HUGE disappointment there. $200 for 5 of us including apps and dessert. A little over prices for the casual environment but a nice seafood treat.

Like many others writing reviews, this first got on my radar from watching Fresh, Fried & Crispy. I've gone here twice and had the Almond-Crusted Hogfish, King Crab Dinner and the Lobster Mac & Cheese twice. The hogfish was pretty good. It had a nice buttery taste to it which, after reading online, I guess that's pretty standard. It was really soft on the inside. I'm not huge into seafood so I don't have a wide base of comparison for this plate, although I did think it was a little overpriced. The rice was pretty good but it was a little too moist in my opinion. The veggies were steamed pretty well - they were soft without being soggy. The King Crab Dinner was solid as well, but nothing I would buy again. I am a mac & cheese person and this was one of the better mac & cheese dishes I have had (very creamy). If I go to this restaurant a third time, I will get it again.

Delicious. Seems like a great atmosphere. Went during off hours (only reason it isn't five stars for service is because I have no idea what service is like during busy times) - our service was attentive and kind. Food was delicious

How the overall rating is 3.9 stars is baffling!!! Colorado has very few seafood options, BMLLs is definitely a top choice! They are closed on Monday- to get their seafood order- and Paul has maintained fish monger/fisherman/friend contacts from Florida and the Caribbean. That, in and of itself, would get 3 stars! Then you add the laid back atmosphere- makes you feel like you are on an island. This is not a bougie environment that caters to your every breath- it is a family joint that offers great seafood. If you want a waiter/waitress deciding your next bite or move, go to Eddie V's - they are also fantastic, with a different vibe. So, BM&LLs, thanks to you for making CO your home!!

Was sooo looking forward to having spontaneous birthday lunch of fresh oysters. Semi greeted at bar by gal that looked like she could care less. Has holiday burnout already begun?! Husband shared it was my 70th bday. She boringly says oh, hpd. Gee thanx. Had delicious oysters & sashimi! Fresh ginger, oysters & sashimi. Shrimp poor boy fried & way too greasy. Service poor due to complacency of staff. Tried to ask for a couple fotos to be taken. Again they didn't care. And not busy at all. While we truly want this place to succeed, staff was poor!! Food other than poor boy was "A". Poor boy "C". The attitude of staff makes or breaks a place. Am sad cuz wanted to be welcomed. This didn't happen.

Had the hot lobster roll and the mussels/fries. Lobster roll was good but just a tad dry. Neither was coastal fresh or juicy but for a landlocked area, it was fine. The only thing id add is you wind up with a lot of sauce from the mussels but not enough to mip it ip with as it was good. All in all a good meal at a reasonable price and didnt leave hungry .

Waitress was very nice and attentive. Love the decor on the walls with the personal pictures and fake fish. Our favorite was the crab cakes! They were filled to the brim with crab, barely any filler! The pineapple chutney was different than what we are used to.

Stopped by for a family lunch and everyone enjoyed their food. There was one other large party and a couple of small groups and the 2 servers handled everything perfectly. The menu has something for everyone and it was all fresh and good portions. They have a variety of lunch specials along with appetizers and entrees. The restaurant takes the "sea" theming very seriously and the youngest kiddo loved looking at all the fish on the walls. The market area sells fresh fish/seafood to take home and my son in law bought scallops to make for dinner. This restaurant is a must for fish/seafood lovers.

Great food lobster rolls are delicious, will be trying many more items from the menu

Decent sea food. Better than average but too salty for sure. It not high end. Not so great on atmosphere or drink menus. I was expecting something more upscale. Service was good though. I'd go back, but if you want an upscale date night this unfortunately isn't it.

We love oysters. So this is close to our house, and they have fresh east coast oysters. The server always kind to replace 1-2 oysters that do not look fresh with no charge. The ambiance is great, servers are always welcoming. It is one of our regular restaurants now

This place is amazing and offers the most fresh seafood in the Denver area! The service was great too. We will be back every couple of weeks now, it's THAT good and fresh! The restaurant is very chill and takes me back to the Caribbean! We loved it.

Awesome restaurant! The only place in Colorado with fresh, direct from the Florida Keys seafood. The hogfish is my favorite. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Fast service in a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend Big Mac and Little Lu's and can't wait to return. We drove over 80 miles to have dinner there!

Been there a hundred times and everything was always wonderful. But today was bad. Waitress was not friendly at all, food was very Bland, Calamari was rubbery and tasted like it was microwaved. Lobster bisque was Bland in the pass it had little chunks of Lobster. Ordered a blackberry sangria not sure what u received, in the pass they put blackberry in it not this time. Hopefully next time we visit it will be better.​​

Celebrating a new job and I wanted some Calamari. My hubby found Big Mac & Little Lu's. We tried them out for a Wednesday lunch. The Yelp map location is misleading. We walked around to find it. The front sign is shrouded by a very big tree. The Calamari appetizer was very good! I really enjoyed the accompanying white sauce. I got the Shrimp Po Boy. At first, I was thinking that the mayo spread was too thin, but it was perfect!! The richness of the fried shrimp, with the freshness of the lettuce and tomato, and the flavor of the spread was excellent, especially all in one bite!! The house-made potato chips were really good! He got the Fried Gulf Shrimp Basket. The Gulf Shrimp are probably in the jumbo size range. He really appreciated the horseradish in the cocktail sauce. A nice spark of heat! The service was great. As the place had about 10 other customers, we were allowed to pick our seating. Service was prompt. The food came out quickly! We will be coming back!!

Nice quaint little place a bit off the highway with great service. Easy to get a table on a Saturday night which was refreshing. Had the mussels to start with which were pretty good. For dinner had lobster bisque with surf and turf. The lobster bisque had no lobster in it and tasted badly. King crab legs were excellent and the filet was a sad thin little 7oz but cooked to perfection. Avoid the bisque.

I'll give these folks four stars! Read to the end to see why they lost a star! With a recommendation that you should def check them out! The Food: I had a Caesar salad, some oysters, and a lobster roll! Cesar salad was good! Nice, creamy dressings and a good robust flavor. I'm assuming they used anchovies but not 100% sure. Oysters tasted fresh! Nothing fancy but tasty nonetheless. Now, the moment you're all waiting for. How was the lobster roll? Well, it was tasty. I thought it had a good flavor and I actually loved the flavor of the bread. It really complimented the lobster. My friend mentioned that last time he went the lobster roll had way too much butter, I ordered it with light butter. Just a heads up! Pricing was pretty high. The entrees were super high in price but when I looked around I didn't think the plates looked all that special. I imagine the price is high for importing the seafood. The plates reminded me of what you would get at a seafood shack in Martha's Vineyard or Maine. Not a fancy place though. Our server was on top of it and provided us with good service and quick too. It was busy and he did a nice job. Now, I try my best to give everyone five stars but I took a star off because when they were cleaning the table next to us, they dropped a bowl of mussels and the remaining mussels and juices flew everyone and were all over the floor. Like in obvious plain sight. The next couple that was seated there, the girl def noticed and I heard her say it was gross and on the table. I looked over and felt bad for them as they were mussels by her feet. For a place charging so much money I would expect more. I mean, making a mistake and dropping food is fine. But not taking time to clean it up properly and leaving mussels and mussel juice all over the floor is kind of gross.

This place is great! Everything we had, the lobster roll, the mahi mahi fish & chips, the lobster bisque- all 4.5 star or better. We actually were planning on stopping at the sushi place across the street and we saw this place, looked it up & thought we'd give it a go!! I'm glad we tried it, I'd definitely return. Seafood is expensive by nature but if you can spend a few bucks you should be pretty happy. The place itself is interesting, it's a restaurant and a seafood market in one. The vibe is nice but it's not a fine dining ambience. The service was fine, the waitress checked on us a few times. Overall, I was impressed, the fish & chips in particular was really good. I recommend this spot, and as Arnold would say: "I'll be back." Happy eating.

We use to eat here all the time then it was bad. Decided to try again, 2 years later We'll actually worse. The clams were dirty and smelled weird, my kids fish sticks were soaking in grease. I've been home for 30 minutes and already used the bathroom twice! The bathrooms were disgustingly dirty. Avoid

I had a great shrimp Po'boy but the conch fritters were not very good (too chewy for my taste).

My go to place for fresh seafood whether it's buying it from their cooler which includes a fine selection of fine fish, oysters, etc to cook at home or ordering and eating from their excellent menu, So it's both a seafood market and restaurant! The ambiance is true Floridian, the service is excellent and the staff very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

I've been wanting to try this place for a couple of years. My husband asked me if I wanted to go somewhere nice which is not the norm, so I decided on this place finally. EVERYTHING was excellent. We both had surf n turf. I had the snow crab and it was so sweet and delicious. My steak was cooked so well it melted in my mouth. My husband was happy with his meal also. The atmosphere, music, service and food was excellent. We found a new sea food place that is close by and local. Love it. Will be back

Food was great.... But the past THREE times I have been here the service from 2 of their waitresses is not great at all. Not friendly, not attentive and they don't act like they care if you are even there. Never asked if our meal was good, if we needed anything, or to refill our water. Had to flag them down for everything. If the food wasn't so good I'd probably not go back for that reason only. But still may find another place to go. Sad when it isn't that hard to just be nice and come by occasionally. Place is nice and clean.

Okay, idk why I haven't tried this place earlier. I like this local spot that's family owned. Cute family photos all over and their story coming here from Florida is sweet. Their seafood is fresh and the mussels were good. The fries.. delish. I could eat those in a giant bucket. Service here was friendly and helpful. You in the mood for some seafood? Try this place. Cause I'll be coming back to try that seafood pasta too.

Our first time here and dinner was great. Service is friendly and efficient. We started with raw oysters and then ordered meals. I dont remember what everyone had but I had king crab legs, delicious. We will definitely return.

Amazingly fresh seafood! The Service was excellent and we were impressed with the portion size! Definitely coming back!!

Best seafood restaurant on the North side of town. Sit down or takeout. Excellent service. I highly recommend.

Best lobster bisque ever! Super fresh seafood-glass case with items on ice as you enter. This place looks causal but the full experience is truly elevated. Service very attentive. Flavor bursts from every item. We shared shrimp fritters with a tangy sauce. Hubby loved his shrimp poor boy. I debated over several items as everything coming out of the kitchen looked fabulous! Fun outdoor tables as well as a counter bar. I want to eat my way thru the full menu. Definitely will return!

Came here Sunday night and we were able to easily find seating. Service was good. I got the tuna poke and lobster bisque soup. The lobster bisque had real lobster bits which was nice. Both were delicious. Prices were good for the portions.

The staff were nice. The food and drinks were very very bad. I don't now how they managed to put Malibu into my mojito. Stay far away from the lobster roll. Maybe just got to Chilis.

Being a primary seafood place. At quick glance it looks ok. Got the appearance like you will enter an establishment with quality seafood. That's not the case at all. I observed the food through all their viewing glass and to be honest, the only thing that would make this a good seafood place is for convenience. The quality of the food is subpar at best. The oysters were a joke.... Smallest oysters I've ever encountered and definitely not worth the money. Customer I sat next to explicitly told me he stop going there for oysters and gave recommendations else while inside the seafood restaurant. He even made it a point to highlight that it's a good price for their oyster happy hour at $1.50........ but when they are that small it's still not worth it.... Ouch. For me this place I do. It recommend..... I mean if you order 6 oysters and they are too small, staff knows it when they serve it and does nothing about it... ya go somewhere else.

I would rate it a C+ or B- as far as overall food and service. We came on a midday Saturday and place was busy inside they put us on the heated patio and it was hard getting anything. We had no napkins, no flatware, we ordered Tea and no sweetener. We asked to start with an appetizer of Oysters and it came with our entrees (still no flatware). The Caribbean Snapper sounded good but it fell flat it was white rice, cold broccoli and a tasteless snapper with what they said was Chimichurri on plate but tasted more pesto than chimichurri to me. My guest got the fish and chips which was super hot and very tasty. Did not love the seasoned fries but eh what are you gonna do. It was hard to get anyone's attention being out on patio for more water or drinks. I wish they checked on us more. I would say if you live in area it's an ok option but we drove across town to try and left underwhelmed.

We went here for our 42 wedding anniversary! We started by enjoying some fresh mussels and oysters as an appetizer. We each ordered a live maine lobster. The lobster was amazing, fresh and cooked perfect. This restaurant has never disappointed us. Every time we go to this restaurant is clean, staff friendly, great service and best of all amazing seafood. Jasmine, waitress, was a great server. She was timely, attentive and our food was hot and amazing. THANK YOU JASMINE!! We are already talking about when we will go back and what we will try next. They have an amazing seafood counter so we may get some fresh seafood to cook at home.

The best local fresh sea food, flown in from Florida! Friendly staff and kid friendly atmosphere. I also aam blessed that it is right across from the cryotherapy studio so I can pop in for lunch!

Great seafood! It's a laid back restaurant in the burbs. They have indoor and outdoor seating plus a bar. Service was prompt and she provided great recommendations. Their menu is huge, something for everyone! We tried the hogfish and the salmon salad. Both were delicious. I'd like to come back for lunch sometime!

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. It was packed, but we were lucky enough to find three seats at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and quickly took our orders. We shared the jerk calamari, which was fantastic! It was not fried, just sautéed in a jerk sauce. I am salivating thinking of this dish! We also tried the lobster bisque, conch chowder, the ahi/mahi tacos, and the mussels in green curry sauce. All were delicious! I can't wait for my next visit so I can try more menu items!

Was visiting Broomfield for a class reunion back in September 24. Found this gem, because I was craving king crab. Man did I find it. Ended going there 3 times during the week visit. First off, very reasonable price, and the crab was outstanding, size, taste, and freshness. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Totally thought I was only getting the Rocky Mountain Oysters this trip to Denver, I was so pleasantly surprised to find this place in the mile high city. It feels like being in Florida walking in. I had the Conch chowder - the flavor was excellent and of course oysters. The interior was decorated with sweet family photos. Awesome joint!

great food I enjoy the variety and the service. Never have been disappointed in the many times I have went here

Absolutely love this place! We go there occasionally for dinner but more often for lunch. I have to mention the kids menu - because if the kids are happy, adults are happy. It was a generous serving of pasta noodles with French fries. We have different seafood items each time we go. Steak usually is disappointing- so would recommend you avoid the steak. It's over cooked and just too tough - even for a tenderloin. Of course as a seafood place, get the seafood!

Unfortunately on two visits recently the food was terrible - oysters weren't shucked, and had large chunks of shell and dirt, the rest of the food was greasy or not cooked properly. They used to do a good job so wanted to give them a second chance. I hate leaving a bad review but in person feedback didn't help, maybe this will inspire them to properly train staff to shuck oysters at a seafood restaurant. I don't know what changed but the quality has really gone down hill.

We loved this place and look forward to going back. We recently moved to the area from the PNW and were worried about having easy access to quality seafood. We discovered here that not only is the restaurant menu packed with awesome seafood, but the full service seafood market is also a fantastic place to get things to take home. Loved the conch chowder and beach vibe. Will be back soon and have been telling everyone we meet!

Everything was great! Blackberry Sangria was good. Fish tacos featured Mahi Mahi and they were very good as well! Island Beer mussels come with creole fries that were seasoned very well! Hot and crispy! The lobster roll was great and came with possibly the best homemade chips I've ever had! Key lime pie was incredible! Everything was great! Ambiance is amazing! Its such a great little place! Beautiful inside with a great patio! Service was A+ Can't wait to try it again!

We've been here a couple of times for lunch and had a great experience both times. We had kids with us and their kids meal was so cute! Service and food were also great. We will be back!

I was looking for a closer place to have oysters then Jax's in DT. I went on 9/11 had made HH. Which who doesn't love? Ordered six oysters & shrimp scampi. Not bad. I was about to order dinner but not after what felt like ten minutes had passed because service was slow. Service wasn't all bad. They one that helped the most was a women that had only been there for 3-4 months. I was in the industry for thirty plus years both in corporate restaurants & owning a mom and pop joint. Now I get we are become more of a cashless society. However, when a customer pays with cash. You round to their favor not to the restaurant. When I tried to reverse the transaction & pay with a card instead my main server complained under her breathe from three feet away. I didn't want to be that type of customer just being in the industry when I was that age

Came here for lunch on my birthday day lured by the reviews of the hot lobster rolls. The roll was on a proper open top split roll and grilled on both sides. I was a bit disappointed in the meat which was clearly claw meat and not tail. Having lived in the Northeast for several years, I have had the real thing at many roadside seafood shacks. My sister had the mussels with fries which was a much better choice. I would come back but order something else. I guess lobster just isn't something you should order in the Rockies.

Seafood is extremely fresh. The atmosphere is very casual and the servers are quick and efficient. With very few options for seafood in the Denver area this is a solid choice.

First time here, driven by here probably 10 times. Glad we stopped in. The dozen oysters were fabulous, fresh, tasted like they just came out of the sea. Drawback, dozen oysters, about 2 Tbsp cocktail sauce and about a 1/2 tsp of horseradish sauce. How about a small spoon or even a teaspoon to serve your self cocktail sauce and horseradish. I wish it came with a minuet sauce like Pappadeaux seafood kitchen. The almond crusted hogfish with rice and steamed broccoli. The fish was excellent, the rice was very flavorful, the steamed broccoli needs work, very, very under cooked, too crunchy. The basket of clam strips were severely overcooked. We did ask for less cooked clams strips and they delivered, no hesitation, replacement was excellent. The coleslaw was the worst under seasoned bowl of cabbage I've ever had. All in all, a pleasant experience and we'll be back. $$$$!

The food was amazing! The service was fast and friendly. And the pictures around the place were so great to see. I loved everything.

It's a little surprising to find a seafood restaurant with a fish market inside in Westminster but the food is fresh and quite good. Nothing fancy, and I'd definitely go back when craving a lobster roll. The spicy shrimp linguini was very good, but some of my friends were less impressed with their plates. One of them thought her fish was overcooked while others would have liked sauce on the tacos. I'll keep this place in mind for seafood but will favor the sandwiches and pasta dishes.

Absolutely darling place with a cool fish market inside. Loved the decór and all the fishing paraphernalia. We had to wait a bit for an indoor table because it was HOT outside and not much shade. Our server was a bubbly gal who took our appetizer orders and wine selection. We wanted to try the fresh mussels and clams in garlic wine sauce first. It was fabulous. I love me a good lobster bisque and ordered two cups, one for me and one for hubby. What came out was a gelatinous orange goo with absolutely no flavor of lobster and not even a tiny chunk of the shellfish. YUCK! We sent it back and let our server know how awful it was. She offered a sample of their conch soup and it was terrible. No seafood flavor. It was essentially tomato vegetable soup. Our entrees came and, honestly, we were underwhelmed. The plating was lackluster and slapped together without consideration to these items being handheld. Don't get me wrong, the swordfish was outstanding and very tasty but it would have been nice to have the meat already chunked into bite-size pieces to make the dining experience a little nicer. The slaw wasn't anything spectacular either, piled upon small pieces of Romain lettuce. My husband's tacos only had ONE tortilla per taco where two tortillas are necessary for proper holding. A blob of boring steamed rice was plopped on his plate. Not even a sprinkle of parsley as garnish. Boo. Lastly, what the heck is with storing the packs of beverages on shelves right next to the dining room? A 6-pack of seltzer fell down of its own volition and onto the hard floor where they exploded upon the guests seated beside us. We never saw any manager come out the entire time. I don't believe I'll return anytime soon.

OMG, such an absolute delicious place for seafood.... a MUST if you are in north Denver. Oysters were honestly better than what we had in Florida on last vacation. You should try this place, we loved the food and will definitely be back
