Mason's Famous Lobster Rolls — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

So…… hear me out. This review is gonna be long winded and full of every detail.

Aaron…. This one is allllll you my guy.

My fiancé and I are industry people. Unrelenting hours, 7 days a week, him a corporate EC, and myself a lifer server/bartender. We NEVER get a day off together. Like EVER. But somehow, some way, the stars aligned for us 2 Sundays ago, and we had half a day off together…….. AND WE WENT HAM.

We squeezed in every place a foodie could ever want to eat. Like 2 month’s worth of date nights into 6 hours. High Street Pizza, Bier Garden, the Atlantic on Pacific…… I mean, by the time we got to our 4th stop…. Mason’s….. I WAS SO GLUTTONOUSLY overextended, it was absurd to think there was any way I could possibly eat another thing.

Cue Aaron. This young man took one look at me and had me sized up in 2.2 seconds. He created a need that I never knew I always wanted. I went in there as moral support for my man, wishing I had just stayed in the car in full supine position having eaten my weight in oysters just 30 minutes prior.

Yet here I was, in front of this young man. A young man ready to…… do….. his….. THANG.

He sold me a lobster grilled cheese. And why not get extra lobster. And a lobster bisque. Again extra lobster. Like I don’t know what kind of voodoo witch magic he had over me, but the salesmanship on Aaron….. surpassed any server I have ever employed in all of my years running restaurants. Like ((sorry)), but I offered him a job IMMEDIATELY, and HOPE to God y’all realize the talent this young man has.

I walked out of there, with food for the next 3 days, and never happier for being bamboozled by the most effortless of salesman. Kudos to you Aaron. We will be back. A-Aron. Mad love...

First time trying this little spot and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

The interior was cool, clean, and nicely decorated. We did try sitting on the tall stools, but it was too beautiful of a day, so we opted to sit outside on the spacious patio. It was clean and well-furnished, and the bench we sat on was very comfortable.

Ordering our food inside was very easy and everyone was pleasant. The owner spoke with us briefly and you can tell he is passionate about giving his customers a great experience. He mentioned how much he loves his business and how happy he is.

My husband got the Bar harbour BLT Lobster Roll along with a side of cole slaw. The bacon was crisp, tomatoes and lettuce fresh, and the lobster was delicious with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. The cole slaw was light, tangy, and although a smallish portion, it was very tasty.

I got the Bar Harbour Connecticut Lobster Roll with a bag of chips. Mine was warm and buttery! Pure, lobster heaven!!! The chips are the Ms. Vicky's brand, so they were good!

To be honest, I can see where the price will surprise some people for a Lobster roll. However, I felt like it was a fair price and the quality and freshness were excellent! Let's be realistic, lobster is not cheap! This isn't canned tuna!

Altogether, I was impressed with the service, quality, and flavors. I think this will quickly become a favorite treat when I'm up on Shore Drive and looking for a...
