First & last time!
This was a terrible experience. The pictures look great, but that’s about it.
I’m a lobster lover. But there’s no way, I can call what I ate a ‘lobster.’ And for the price, $106 for one person, a total waste of money.
Overall, the food was extremely dry. The only item that was half decent was the Oysters Rockefeller. And that was the first two I had. When I went back for a couple of more, dry as a rock, or better yet, dry as the stuffed clams they were serving.
Another item that I found decent was the mussels or clams or oysters, southern style. Hard to tell what they were because they were drained in cheese which once at the table started drying up. But at least they had a tiny bit of flavor.
The ahi tuna, hard as a lobster claw. The seafood jambalaya, ugh. The smoked salmon had taste, but quite dry. The calamari salad, very hard to chew. The raw shrimp had some seasoning that I did not like and cocktail sauce was more of a tomato pasty sauce. And forget the the crab cakes —no crab, all cake.
Then came the lobster experience. So what I will say, if you’re a lobster connoisseur and you’re used to lobsters from Main, do not go near this place.
The lobsters served here are more of a fake langostino than anything resembling a lobster. What they’re serving is MGO with red dye which pulverizes inside into little red crumbles ( I should’ve taken a picture of the boiled crumbling dye, but couldn’t get myself to do it)-
The crab legs couldn’t tell what it was, they were filled with mostly air and water. But after a highly disappointing lobster experience, I did not try to justify more of the cracking.
The raw oysters I thought had potential. But wrong again. If any of the readers have been to Apalachicola in Florida, you know, they have the absolute best oysters, outside of Japan. These oysters, did not come from anywhere near the panhandle, much less from the oyster capital of the world, Apalachicola.
And lastly, desserts. I love flan & key lime pie. But if an establishment can screw up either one in Florida, they should not be offering the items, period.
If you love seafood, I can not recommend this place. If you just want to eat non-stop, are not a foodie person, and don’t mind paying $60 for genetically modified organisms, please enjoy!
And yes, I do agree, the pictures do look great so, you’re welcome. I just wish, Google would not limit the pictures to just...

If you’re in the Orlando area and craving a seafood feast, Boston Lobster Feast is a must-visit. As locals, we find ourselves returning a couple of times a year, and it’s always a treat. The restaurant offers an impressive array of seafood dishes, from classic lobster bisque and chowders to fried shrimp, clam strips, and steamed lobster. There's something for everyone, even if you’re not a seafood fan, with options like pasta dishes and hearty side offerings.
Some standout items from our visits include the lobster bisque, fried shrimp, and clam strips that are perfectly crispy and flavorful every time. The lobster mac and cheese is delicious, as is the shrimp scampi. Of course the main event for me are the Ipswich clams, crab legs and lobster. All are available with drawn butter.
One thing we really appreciate is the service. The servers and bus staff are always welcoming and attentive, making each visit feel special. They are accommodating and genuinely hospitable, which adds to the overall positive experience.
Unlike typical buffets, some dishes at Boston Lobster Feast are not kept out on the buffet line. Don’t let that discourage you, though. When seated, you can order items like French fries (a personal favorite) to be brought straight to your table. It’s a nice touch that ensures the food is always fresh.
For those visiting Orlando, especially if you have transportation, don’t hesitate to make the trip to this seafood haven. The value here is outstanding, especially when you compare it to the often overpriced offerings at Disney. In fact, Boston Lobster Feast far surpasses The Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort in terms of both quality and price.
One note for soda lovers: the restaurant serves Pepsi products, so if you’re a Coke fan, you might be a bit disappointed. However, they do have Mt. Dew on offer, plus a full bar with drink specials that your server will happily discuss when you order.
In summary, Boston Lobster Feast provides an unbeatable value for New England-style seafood. Whether you’re in the mood for fried and steamed crustaceans, chowder, or even some land-based options like their ever-changing carving station (on our last visit, they had thin-sliced London broil), there’s something to satisfy everyone’s taste. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely...
Read moreWe came to this spot a few times in the past at their Orlando location and wow, have we been missing out. From the time we walked in, we felt like we were at home having a family dinner. Our server Brandon, was probably the nicest man we have met all week in Kissimmee/Orlando. The man knew his job well and was just very kind and attentive to our needs. My wife was wanting garlic butter which wasn't on the feast and the chef overheard our conversation and went in the back and made her a bowl of it. Huge win in my wife's book! The atmosphere was very chill and enjoyable to be in to enjoy a massive amount of lobster. Speaking of lobster, they were huge and cooked to perfection! Very tender and easy to peel and enjoy. My top favorites besides lobster and crab legs were the Southwestern mussels and the cold smoked salmon. Both were amazing and I tried just about everything on the buffet and there wasn't anything we didn't enjoy. My daughter (who just got braces) asked for the prime rib which was cooked as she asked but was a little tough for her to chew. The manager Marta saw her struggling and asked if she would like for her to prepare another one for her so she could enjoy her meal! It is really great to see management going above and beyond to ensure their customers have the best experience possible. Super fresh and very delicious food at this location! Food is so good, at the end of the night most of the employees were enjoying a plate at the end of their shift. You know it's great food if the people who serve you are enjoying the same meal as you at the end of a long shift. Again I want to express our sincere gratitude to our server Brandon who was really amazing. He is a really great server and an overall awesome person! Thank you and Marta for the great dinner, we will...
