Lawless Lobster — Restaurant in Meat Cove

Absolutely worth the trip to what seemed like the edge of the earth. So good that we went way out of our way to dine there twice! We visited the Atlantic Provinces for a month and a half, and Lawless Lobster had the best lobster rolls and chowder! The proprietors are delightfully friendly and engaging, and the view from their outdoor dining area is fantastic.

The lobster (or crab) was fresh, deliciously seasoned, tender, and plentiful. The bread was crisp and buttery. The chowder was like nothing else I’ve had; thick, rich, loaded with seafood, and oddly (but deliciously) enough sautéed cabbage, which I will now be adding to my home made chowder!

Don’t limit yourself to eating there. Get some carry out for later too. A little drizzle of melted butter brings a cold lobster/crab/crobster roll right back to life, along with the fond memory of enjoying a fine meal and a cliff top view of the...

Absolutely Phenomenal – A Must-Try! We’re New Englanders and have had our fair share of lobster rolls over the years—but the crobster roll from Lawless Lobster blew us away. Hands down, the best roll we’ve ever had. The mix of lobster and crab was perfectly balanced and seasoned with just the right blend of spices, paired with the perfect amount of celery and red onion. All of it came on a bun grilled to golden perfection—crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. Please don’t change a thing.

The hospitality at Meat Cove Campground took the experience to the next level. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, especially the sisters—they truly make you feel like family.

We were just at Meat Cove with the family and finding the Lawless Lobster was such a spectacular treat to have great food and great service in the wild north of Cape Breton Island. We can’t say enough about the food served; we are from the Pacific Coast and this was one of the best meals (Lobster, Mussels, Crab, Chowder) we have eaten. Meat Cove and the Lawless Lobster is an incredible memory we will forever preserve. Many thanks to the Lawless Lobster team for their service, history, and sharing they were 8 generations deep in Meat Cove! Truly a must do experience. (And don’t let the park rangers tell you your car can’t make it to Meat Cove, it is a doable road and just think, a food truck can make it and so...
