Overpriced and Not the Best
My experience at this restaurant was not the best, and I found it to be overpriced. Compared to Pete's in San Diego, this place doesn't quite measure up. The atmosphere was rated a 1, and the service also received a 1.
It was also very loud, making it difficult to hear. Overall, it wasn't a great experience.

Order Mix-up and Unresolved Issue
I visited the San Diego location at Liberty Station Market and ordered the Wicked Hot fries on top of the Captain Catch, which cost around $30+. While eating my fries, I discovered bacon, which wasn't listed on the menu. I confirmed with the cashier that bacon was not supposed to be included.
As a pescatarian of over 12 years, bacon is not part of my diet. I had to discard the rest of my fries. My friend tried them and noted they tasted like clam chowder with chunks of potatoes, suggesting I received the clam chowder fries, which are priced around $20.
The cashier apologized but offered no refund or credit for the $10 difference. Although polite, I felt frustrated by the situation. This was my second visit; I enjoyed it the first time and wanted to share the experience with my friend.
However, I'm upset with the incorrect order and how it was handled.

Disappointing Lobster Roll and Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. During the dinner hour, there was a significant wait as no one was behind the counter for a long time. The $20 lobster roll was extremely small, which was a letdown.
I will not be returning.

Good Lobster, A Bit Pricey
My experience at Wicked Maine Lobster was that it's a little expensive, but that's to be expected for lobster. They make good lobster rolls, and it hits the spot if that's what you're craving or in the mood for. It's nothing special, but when you want lobster, it's a reliable option.

Best Lobster and Fabulous Service!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I had the best lobster in San Diego, and honestly, nothing more needs to be said about the food. The service was fabulous; the staff was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain everything on the menu.
I will definitely be back soon!

Tiny Rolls, Big Price
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. While the food itself tasted good, I was shocked by the portion size of the rolls. They were the tiniest morsels of food I've ever seen, especially considering they cost $20.
This made the overall value for money questionable.

Disappointing Lobster Roll Presentation
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The lobster itself was fresh and tasted fine, but I was disappointed with the presentation of the lobster roll. Instead of being on a proper roll, it came on a single folded piece of bread with just a small serving of fries.
For the price, I expected more. The bread really didn’t work for me, and it took away from the overall experience.

Overhyped and Overcrowded Lobster Roll
I'm not sure what all the hype is about. My experience was mediocre at best. The photos showed buns overflowing with lobster, but the two rolls we ordered had just enough to show it was there.
The canned clam chowder was a nice touch, though. It's definitely not worth the headache of going to the overcrowded location for a $20 mini lobster roll and difficult parking.

Disappointing Service, Long Wait
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The place was supposed to open at 11, but the two staff members were just talking and didn't seem eager to take my order. After waiting for about 5 minutes, I decided to go somewhere else.

Lobster Tacos Shine, Grilled Cheese Disappoints
I've been here before, but it had been a while since my last visit. Today, I decided to try the lobster tacos and the crab grilled cheese sandwich. The lobster tacos were surprisingly good—great flavor and a generous portion of lobster meat.
However, the grilled cheese sandwich was a letdown. It lacked crab meat and overall flavor. The cheddar cheese was the dominant (and overpowering) element, which threw off the balance of the dish.
A bit disappointing compared to the tacos.
