    Just went for the first time and had a fantastic experience, food was delicious and came quickly. Service was 11/10, Charlie our server was incredibly personable and lit up the whole room. Will absolutely dine again and I highly recommend you check it out next time you’re craving seafood!

    I have eaten here many times. Food is always good. I did my first take out order and it didn't disappoint. My food was ready when I got there. Hot and fresh.

    Came across this wonderful spot while in town for a soccer game. Coming from New England it was a pleasure to see something small with great good and excellent service. The lobster bisque is fantastic as was the Cioppino and Grouper sandwich.

    Lobster Haven is a gem! After passing on a frequent basis, I decided to place an order to go. I ordered the Lobster roll and salmon bites and everything was very delicious! Hope to visit again soon..,

    This is where you buy lobster if you want quality. They have been around a very long time and are the go to place for all the locals around. They sell fresh live and frozen Maine or Florida lobster. They have tables where you can eat there if you like. They serve Lobster Rolls, Shrimp, Calamari, and Conch Fritters. They offer Clam Chowder and Jambalaya. They can steam or cook products ahead of time for pickup. My wife has been doing it for years. She purchases steamed Lobsters by the case for family functions and birthday parties. The staff is friendly and polite. They provide advice on purchasing, preparing and cooking methods for their products. I highly suggest you patronize this place asap. you will not be disappointed. you will find them worth of writing your own Google Maps review in their favor! 10 Stars
