Had a quick lunch, ordered their Classic Lobster Roll, Maine style with warm butter. Lobster was fresh, cooked just right and wrapped with crisp toasted bun. Downside was the serving portion is small for the Classic. The atmosphere is great though, spacious for groups to hangout as they serve beer, cocktails and wine.

In the heart of Mineola, The Rex Burger & Lobster stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of classic American fare, executed with a contemporary twist. The establishment’s minimalist decor, characterized by clean lines and understated hues, directs the diner’s focus squarely onto the culinary offerings—a strategy that pays off handsomely. The menu, though succinct, is a curated selection of indulgent delights. The signature Rex Burger, a towering assembly of a juicy patty, crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and a tangy house sauce, is ensconced within a perfectly toasted bun that manages to contain the flavorful onslaught without disintegrating—a feat not to be underestimated. Equally compelling is the Lobster Roll, a generous portion of tender, sweet lobster meat lightly dressed and nestled in a buttery, toasted split-top roll. The simplicity of its preparation allows the freshness of the seafood to shine, offering a taste reminiscent of coastal New England summers. The accompanying fries, golden and impeccably crisp, serve as an ideal counterpart to the main attractions. An unexpected highlight is the array of dipping sauces, with the spicy mayo providing a pleasant kick that elevates the experience. Service is efficient and unpretentious, aligning with the restaurant’s casual ambiance. Orders are placed at the counter, and despite the potential for chaos during peak hours, the staff maintains a composed and friendly demeanor, ensuring that diners feel attended to without unnecessary fuss. In an era where culinary establishments often chase avant-garde trends, The Rex Burger & Lobster’s commitment to perfecting the fundamentals is both refreshing and commendable. It’s a place where indulgence meets precision, offering a dining experience that satisfies both nostalgic cravings and contemporary palates.

While getting my car serviced at Barnwell Tires, I discovered The Rex Burger & Lobster just across the street. I decided to try their standard burger and the lobster roll with warm butter. The burger was excellent, featuring high-quality meat and generous portions. However, fries are not included and must be ordered separately. The lobster roll was also very good, though the portion was a bit on the smaller side. They offer a wide selection of beer, cocktails, and wine at reasonable prices. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for lunch—highly recommended!

Recently visited this fine restaurant. Food is exquisite. Very tasty and amazing. I just wished they gave salad or some greenery with the orders as complimentary but I believe they have salad for purchase on the side. For our group we tried the lobsters supreme which was pricy but worth the taste. It’s definitely a sandwich dedicated to seafood lovers or lobster enthusiasts. We also ordered fries which were really good too! We also ordered a hot brownie shake which was absolutely delicious especially if you’re a chocolate flavor individual. Definitely will be back to try the burgers and chicken sandwich and also the salad!

Oh boy! I found me a new spot!! I had the biggest lobster roll I've ever had and it was every bit as amazing as it looked. This place is super casual. Take it to go or enjoy your stay and if you stay the interior of the place is very very nice. I was there on a hot summer day and the whole front was open with a couple of out door seats. There's a bar too if you'd like, just wish they had a drink menu. Also, if you've never been, it's hard to tell that you order and seat yourself as you take your order in the back, I had to stumble in and didn't figure it out until someone eventually noticed me. Also, wasn't too big on their fries and I love french fries, I appreciate how their hand made and prepared and all but they just didn't do it for me; too skinny. Other than that, staff was helpful and food came out fairly quick. I will be back and I'm putting my friends on.

The burger was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. But the true star of the meal was the lobster—fresh, tender, and cooked just right, bringing a rich, buttery taste that elevated the entire dining experience. Every bite showcased quality ingredients and expert preparation. A must-try for any seafood and burger lover!

I ordered two things. Half of my order came out and I was waiting over 30 minutes for the rest of my order. Once I realized how long the wait was, I reported it to the cashier and I was told that they forgot to make it. My server’s shirt was incredibly dirty. The food was over priced. My lobster roll was bland. The food quality and price does not match.

Went 2 times and was very satisfied. Last night, we were able to get the free lobster topping on any sandwich offer (for this month only, tonight from 8-9 pm is the last night for it). I got some undressed lobster chunks on my Rex burger- a double patty with cheese, only cooked well-done but still very juicy, and regular burger toppings. For $9.95, was a great deal. Even the burger by itself. Their fries are crispy, unsalted which I like. Others in my family got a steak sandwich with the lobster; and the 5-pc chicken strips, which came with a choice of 3 sauces. Roasted garlic was good, even for the fries. On our first time there, I had the lobster BLT. Yumm. We were able to customize some items, found it easier at the kiosk but the staff at the counter asked also anyway. You get a number and someone brings the food to your table. Options for wine, beer, cocktails also alongside one wall but a lot weren't available. Was fine with our sweet tea/fountain drinks, self-served. The place was very clean, even the restrooms. Choice of high top tables, or regular tables. First impression I thought it was a waiter-service restaurant but not.

I've been to The Rex a few times over the past few months, and enjoy the food. We've had the burgers, lobster rolls, cheese steak, and chicken tenders. All of it is delicious but I think the Chicken Tenders stand out because you can combo that with a cornucopia of sauces to get the perfect taste! The atmosphere is relaxed, and I love the aesthetic. The photographs on the wall really add a nice touch of elegance. You'll have a good time here. The staff has been kind, courteous and always have good recommendations. Their wisdom is appreciated.

Food here is AMAZING! I will definitely come back! It is a fast causal restaurant as there is no waiter service and you order on a kiosk and they bring the food to you but this is anything but fast food in terms of taste and quality. We got the lobster cheese fries, lobster roll and Philly cheese steak and honestly everything was 5/5. The lobster was fresh and meaty and they did not cheap out on the portions. There are a lot of seating and is great for parties. Run don't walk there!

Tried this place based off TikTok reviews and IG pictures. It was kinda disappointing when their IG stated between 8pm-10pm, lobster add-on for sandwiches was $1.99, but they told me that promo ended last month. Why would you keep up that promotion on your social media page if it's invalid? I even asked the cashier if they could honor it and they said no, due the promo was taken out from their system. Beer/Cocktail/Wine were only $1.99 extra if you include it with an entree purchase, but a soda would cost $2.49. How does that make any sense. Their wall of tap was half empty when we went and were only able to choose between certain selection of their beer and wine. They have free water and coffee at least. The food was pretty mid. We wanted to try their A La Vodka Pizza, but told us they were not seriving any pizza or breakfast items. Another disappointment. We ended hhaving their Rex Burger with bacon, Classic Lobster Roll and their Crispy Shrimp platter. The Rex Burger felt like a neater version of a Five Guys burger, which was pretty decent. The lobster roll was very bland and the cripsy shrimp could've been fried a bit more cripsier. I'd probably would've been more satisfied if they had honored their $1.99 lobster add on for sandwiches. We came more for the "Gram", than their food, but it was worth a shot.

I have eaten here several times over the years. The burgers are consistently good as well as the fries. I also enjoy the coleslaw. Today i ordered delivery and the food came open in the bag, half wrapped in paper, not even fully wrapped- and the fries were not even wrapped up, just open in a cup inside a brown paper bag. Needless to say it was cold. Have you ever tried to re-heat a burger once it was dressed with lettuce etc? I was very disappointed.

Went here on a Monday before the crowd so it was quiet. The place is nice and clean from what I can see. I was a bit nervous on the lobster roll because I never had one before and I didn't think a burger place would know anything about that but I was wrong. I enjoyed both lobster rolls (cold and hot) but I think hot is what I prefer. The roll was loaded with lobster they didn't cheap out and on top of it they had $2 beers, margaritas, whiskey sour & wine. My cousin and I had margaritas and whiskey sour it was strong af ! The lady who worked there said when you're the first to use it during the day it starts off really strong and I love that for us lol. Only complaint is the fries needed salt but they were good.

This place is cute, but that's where it ends - the staff isn't friendly or very informative when I had questions about the menu items. The food was just ok, not something I would crave. I was really excited to use the self serve drink station, but a lot of the drink selections weren't available - I ended up getting the Margarita - it was pure sugar, so after a few sips was unable to drink anymore, another mention there were gnats flying around like crazy especially by that drink station - it's a no for me

1/5 -- The Rex Has Gone Way Downhill I used to love The Rex -- it was one of those hidden gems with great quality and bold flavors. But after my recent visit, I can honestly say it's just not good anymore. I ordered the filet and lobster sandwich, something I used to rave about. What I got was sloppy, bland, and just plain disappointing. The lobster wasn't fresh -- it was mostly end pieces with none of that sweet, tender claw meat. It felt like scraps thrown together with no attention to quality. The filet was equally underwhelming: small, dry, and flavorless, served on a roll that looked like it came out of a cafeteria line. There was zero balance, or even a hint of seasoning to tie it together. At this price point, you'd expect something special -- or at least edible. Sadly, what once was a go-to for a killer surf and turf sandwich is now an overpriced, poorly made mess. Won't be returning anytime soon.

The burgers are about 20 bucks I could have gone without the added lobster. Fries were delicious we ended up ordering more. Service was good. You order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. The drink dispensing machine was cool but I'm pretty sure the was drinking a Paloma and not a Cosmo. The ambiance is that of a fast food restaurant.

Wow...I am impressed. We came on our drive home as a pit stop to get out and stretch and honestly were super hungry. The food was so fantastic we had nothing left at all. Service here you order at the front get a number to place on your table and the food is brought to you when ready. We ordered their fried chicken sandwich, fries, the supreme lobster roll, and a cookies and cream milkshake. The lobster roll was out of this world and well worth the price. The fried chicken was flavorful and had the perfect amount of crunch. The inside was very clean and had a cozy bar modern vibe to it. There is ample parking within the lot outside as the restaurant is located within a shopping center. The milkshake was so creamy and thick I look forward to our next trip here to explore their whole menu!

Wow. Just wow. I can't even tell you how GOOD these were. We weren't even that hungry so we made sure not to order too much...but hot damn, I wish we did! We had eaten before this, but I wanted to try this place for a while. We don't live close to here, so I wanted to pick something up since we were passing through. Got 'em to go. Here's what we ordered: - classic lobster roll: 5 oz of fresh Maine lobster on a toasted brioche roll warm with poured melted butter - lobster cheesesteak: cheesesteak on a brioche roll and lobster ON TOP OF THAT Both of these are BANGIN'! I need to come back. Highly recommend!

Really wanted to love this place when they opened about 8 years ago. I went once for my husband's birthday along with our friends. I was expecting a lot more. Their lobster burger is supposedly the show stopper. It was just a-ok in my book. Their burger and patty sizes are also not too impressive. It is also overpriced. The only good thing was that it was self service and quick. We ordered and paid at the counter and ate at our table. I'm not sure if things have changed since but I'm not enticed to go back for a second visit.

I have been wanting to come here for years and finally made my way on a quiet Monday afternoon. Upon entry it was odd... the one male Asian server looked and us and we looked at him. No words were exchanged, no pleasantries. Kind of awkward. The female at the register greeted us as we got closer towards the back where orders were to be made. Interestingly, the menu online in their website is not all that they serve. You'll see a much more vast menu on site which includes pizza, grilled cheese, and Philly cheesesteaks... and of course the burgers, lobsters, and fries. We ordered two Rex burgers, a warm classic lobster roll, and fries with spicy mayo sauce. You seat yourself after ordering and paying. Free water served in pitchers. The food did not take long to come out. Within 5-10 minutes. The lobster roll came out first, then the burgers and fries. - Warm classic lobster roll: Plenty of lobster on a deliciously toasted bun with butter. I probably enjoyed the bun more than anything. Lol. Nice crunch with the butter. Obviously the lobster itself was very enjoyable. Large pieces of fresh lobster. You can really taste the subtle lobster flavor since nothing else is on it to mask or overwhelm. - Rex burger: This was really good! Very juicy. The size was just right. Each bite was the perfect bite. It's just a regular old fashion burger without all the bells and whistles, but a good one. My husband said it reminded him too much of an In-N-Out burger... whatever that means. - Fries: I usually am not a fan of shoestring fries but these were tasty. The spicy mayo sauce that I made extra for was meh. Not the typically spicy mayo I expected like from Asian establishments. This was just literally a spicy sauce that has no element other than being overly spicy for no reason... there's no depth to the sauce. Stick with ketchup. Overall I thought the food was quite delicious and I am glad to have finally been able to check this restaurant off my Yelp list. Would I be back though? I'm not quite sure. I mean the prices are certainly very reasonable.

honestly ive only been here once and i could say i would come back. however i wouldnt come back as often. i think the prices arent as worth it for what you grt , that i can definitely get something better w that price. however the food is fresh so it could be worse. the lobster rolls however are pricey :/

I went here for lunch and just wanted a good burger, because it's also a Lobster spot I did consider getting a lobster roll or adding the lobster to my burger. Ultimately I didn't. It was quiet and empty for lunch so I had my pick of seats. The guy who takes the orders said his go to was the burger so that solidified it for me. It's a pay by item type of spot. It looks like it could get lively in the evening. My burger came out pretty quickly. I asked them to pack it to go. The to go packaging is simple it was in a brown bag with brown paper wrapping. Deff not a long hall storage situation I enjoyed my burger it was light and filling. Fresh flavors not at all soggy.

Absolutely the BEST Lobster Roll from NY to Maine bc it's all fresh, delicious LOBSTER from the coldest waters of the North Eastern USA. Just the BEST America has to offer! Same goes for the burgers: in beef or chicken. Crispy Shrimp Sandwich is outrageously delicious! My sons die for the wings! To say nothing of the Haägen Dazs Shakes, Rex's homemade Ring Dings & the list of American Supermodels goes on!

I visited this establishment for the first time and I must say I enjoyed the Rex Burger with Lobster. I highly recommend it. I also tried the Lobster fries for two and it was good. It can be better if they use less cheese. The lobster tasted good. The service was alright. You order the food at the counter and they bring it to your table. The interior of the restaurant is nice and it wasn't loud at all. I would definitely come back to try the other sandwiches available on the menu.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm happy I did! They have a lot of options on their menu, including breakfast sandwiches, pizza, etc. I decided to order something I've never had before and that was the Burger Grilled cheese. It's a thin beef patty in between a grilled cheese. This was so huge, and filling but very delicious. With the patty and all the cheeses combined plus the bread, it was very rich. The sandwich itself was absolutely delicious but it's not a sandwich I would finish. I should've taken the other half home because I was so full. I ordered a side of French fries, and they were crispy and fresh. I wanted to get a milkshake but they (in my opinion were too pricey). They were $8 and to me it didn't look like alot of milkshake. You go up to the counter to purchase your food then find a place to sit. Overall this place was pretty good! A little expensive but overall it was worth it. Also, my boyfriend got the Rex burger which he said was a more upscale fast food kind of burger but he did enjoy it.

This is a fancy establishment with burger and lobster items. I did not try the lobster items. 1. The Rex Burger - it was good. The sauce was delicious. It was a little small. 2. The chopped salad was delicious. It is a normal salad with a good amount of blue cheese. The decor is lovely. It was a bit chilly inside. Not bad for the summer.

Brought my daughter here since we were in the mood for some lobster & we've been wanting to try this place for sometime. It's a small location in a mini mall and when we got there it was completely empty inside. They have plenty of area for seating and a bar that looks like it's just to sell wine & possibly whatever alcohol is in the fridge. The fridge has many drink options some alcoholic and some non alcoholic. We first ordered at the register and then grabbed a table some are half booths and some full tables, the booths are a beautiful red color which definitely was our choice. Some menu options are not on display however I did check out their yelp before hand so I saw a few items I was interested in. I ordered my daughter a vanilla milk shake with whipped cream $7.95 +$0.45 it was good thick and she enjoyed it. I also got her a kids burger $6.95 since I knew we would also be having a lobster roll I could add some lobster to it and make like a surf n turf oh she enjoyed that. My lobster roll of choice was the classic warm roll $29.95 a decent size I had to ask for a side of butter because it definitely needed it. I would def get it again they weren't skimp on the lobster I had really good chunky pieces. Last minute we ended up getting a lobster grilled cheese $39.95 I was surprised by the price but it was a good size the cheese was very, very rich. I thought it was alright just slightly overwhelming. I did want to try the pizza that I saw online and the young lady that was assisting us told me that it would be back in a few months so I guess I'll be back to try that.

Was in the area and decided to stop by for lunch. I've been wanting to try this place for quite some time...today was the day. I got the regular lobster roll with warm drawn butter and a side of fries with roasted garlic sauce and spicy Mayo. The lobster roll was delicious. Nice chunks of lobster and not saturated in butter. Fries were nice and crisp! I love crispy fries. The sauces paired nicely with them. The roasted garlic sauce was amazing and I want it on everything. The spicy Mayo was good as well, but my favorite out of the two was the roasted garlic! It's a little expensive, but I feel it was worth it for the taste and quality of the food. Service was just okay. You order at the counter, get a number and then they bring it out to you. I would return when I'm back in the area.

I discovered the Rex during the pandemic and fell in love. Somewhere between here and there it fell off radar until this weekend when I was out making donation near by. Then I was like THE REX!!! I was out with my son and it as just about lunchtime so we made it a date. I was like let me get the Rex burger... With the lobster in top and handed my son the menu at the counter where you order before taking your seat. He handed it right back to the hostess and said I'll have whatever she's having. My chest swelled with pride like the boy is growing up and he can eat. I am absolutely here for it! We got Two Rex burgers topped with lobster and a side or fries to share that we couldn't even finish bc it was huge. Both 5/5. So much to unpack here, the cheese is so melty it's almost like a sauce and the double patty will leave you fighting to take the last bite I mean FULL! The fries were perfect crispy salty and not to oily. Portions are huge if you ask me. The boy got a vanilla shake which he didn't say too much about. He could only finish the burger lol. And me I had a little beer. Some Narragansett it was light and crisp and the perfect pair for the lobster burger. My bill was definitely like $75 and we did the slow itis walk back to the car. The place is clean and busy but not too crazy. Folks were just as relaxed as us with their friends, on a date and getting off of work. The little cocktail section is literally clutch. They have wine, and cocktails and beer and it's like icing on the cake to an already clean, open sunlit airy space. It looks like a modern old fashion bar if that makes sense and there is a parking lot in front. I saw the young manager still here from the pandemic kudos to him the place is perfect and the food was BOMB.

Toughest question of the day .... What's for lunch? Kids and I decided to drop into Tex Burger ....and Lobster? What a strange combination, but I guess that means there is something for everyone. Ambience: There is a long bar that makes the restaurant feel like a bar. This is impression is reinforced by high tables and bar stools. Food: we ordered; Rex Burger - juicy and fresh. 4/5 Spicy Chicken Sandwich - perfectly seasoned, but may have been left in the fryer a little too long. 4/5 Lobster Roll. Lots of chunks of claw meat. Really good seasoning, but not necessarily great. 4/5

My 1st visit. My friend who used to live here this is a place she visits when she returns. The lobster is deelish. However, being that close to Maine I have to query the prices. We offer Maine lobster rolls on California and we don't pay $30 & $40 per lobster roll. I know lobster is expensive and shipping costs are now outrageous but $29.99 and then for a fancier one, same size, is $39.99! Wow! That's a bit much. My friend treated me but even she questioned how expensive this place has become. How sad because it is truly delicious and tasty lobster on every bite. But I know I would have waited until I returned to San Diego to have one for $19.99'. Hope the prices are for rising costs rather than greed.

The Rex Burger and Lobster. 524 Jericho Tkpe. Mineola, NY. 11501 (516)519-7586 5th visit in a row. FINAL DAY SO RUN DON'T WALK. July- FREE Lobster on any burger or pizza. I'm here for just 1 lobster burger. For the 5th time in a roll. Delicious. OMG. Definitely gym, veggies and fruits for the next month. But it's worth it. Amazing Erika was here today. Told her how amazing the lobster burger is and it's my 5 day in a row back. We both laughed. Also lovely fella Ethan that took my order yesterday was there. I said hello. Angelica, Erika and Ethan (cashiers) are so pleasant, polite and friendly. Vasilli brought my order for I was while waiting at the bar. I wasn't disappointed with my order of lobster burger. Loads of lobster. 2 beef patties, melted cheddar cheese, lettuce, diced raw onions, tomatoes and pickles. Only if mgmt paid more attention to the quality of the food as the cashiers give great hospitality and are 100% nice to the customers ALL their food would be delicious.

Fast casual burger spots seem to be popping up all over but this place does a really good job of delivering a nice burger for your buck. The menu is pretty focused - various takes on the burger and lobster rolls along with shakes and fries. The Rex burger was excellent - well cooked and put together and the Rex sauce was unique. Fries were good but their dipping sauces were a bit weird. Shakes were high quality and thick. The space is clean and the staff here is friendly. You order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. Prices are similar to Shake Shack and 5 Guys. Most definitely worth a try if you're a fan of burgers.

If you enjoy lobster rolls you will love Rex. Also available chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese Sandwiches, fish sandwiches and burgers. If you like a wine or beer they are also available. Order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. Upscale fast food.

I came here for lunch and it wasn't so busy. The atmosphere was laid back. They have plenty to choose from on the menu. I tried the Rex burger and added a lobster it. The total was pricy but reasonable. They cook all their burgers the same temperature, but no worries because the burger wasn't over/undercooked. The red burger typically comes with 2 Pattie's. The burger was juicy and the combination with the lobster gave the flavors a nice touch. I think I'll return to try the rex burger without the lobster to really taste the juiciness of the burger. I did not order anything additional because the rex burger with the lobster was pretty filling.

I decided to try this place because the menu was different. I have not seen any places where you can add lobster to basically any sandwich. The chicken and lobster sandwich was really good. The chicken had great seasoning. It was tender and the lobster is also very good. The cheeseburger with lobster was OK. I definitely recommend chicken and lobster sandwich rather than the burger. You can also obtain the sandwiches without lobster. When I go again I'll either have the chicken and lobster or just have a lobster sandwich because the lobster was also really good. The price is reasonable about $12 for a sandwich but they charge another $10 or so to add lobster. They gave us a free apple pie and it was delicious. You dont need reservations you can order and they bring the food to your table.

My wife and I were in the mood for Lobster Rolls and decided to try Rex Burger. Very glad we did! The lobster rolls were awesome and so were the milkshake! We will definitely go back!

Honestly just great juicy burgers ...perfect in every way ! The fries - nicely crisp thin and always taste great! Try the dipping sauces they won't disappoint.... The burgers are what we go for but there are plenty of other menu options ... Cool looking restaurant and always helpful staff !

Stopped by with a friend after Black Friday shopping and there was nobody in the restaurant. We ordered at the counter and we're giving free apple pie as their promo! I got the Rex burger and added lobster - hit the spot for me.

Such warm hospitable service. I had never tried this Burger joint before. It's a hidden chem. Prices are very reasonable. Burgers are so delicious as well as the fries. They are going through to restaurant upgrades and I can't wait to see it finished. Do yourself a favor and try it.

Absolutely horrible! $42 for the filet mignon and lobster sandwich and I must say, low quality meat and lobster. It had no taste and the filet tasted frozen.

cute atmosphere with red booths and high tops. You order at counter and they bring the food out to you. Got the classic lobster roll warm, side of fries to share. Omg the lobster tasted so fresh and was tasty, got it warm with butter. Fries were good too, nice portion. I can't wait to come back and eat again. Thank you !

I went in July of last year and they had a special with free lobster on any sandwich. The filet mignon with lobster and the cheeseburger with lobster were amazing. The truffle fries were delicious as well. Amazing food and succulent lobster.

If you're looking for a fresh perfectly cooked lobster roll then this the place. I came upon it accidentally and decided to check it out. It looked like a cool city atmosphere with a bar and milk shakes. The general manger was very knowledgeable, professional and super helpful. He suggested the lobster roll and I was sold when he told me they get regular deliveries from Maine. I will be back to try some more things on the menu!

Soo I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and it did not disappoint! The lobster cheese fries were better than expected, the lobster here is delicious and buttery. the Rex burger with lobster was good too! A really good burger. I did add salt pepper n ketchup to mine but I coulda did without the ketchup. Might just add mayo next time. But the salt was needed. Although the saltiness from the cheese fries balanced it out. The service was fast and friendly, and the place wasn't overly packed, it was a Sunday though. Had no problems getting a table. I liked the atmosphere, it was very chill and relaxed. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
